“Brilliant tour and allowed plenty of time to explore Capri! The tour guides were organised, helpful and friendly, offering cold beverages at a small cost on the way to Capri. We had a whole 6 hours to explore the island, which sounds like a long time but it meant you could get around pretty much everything! On the way back the tour of the island was really informative and lots of opportunity to take gorgeous pictures. Would highly recommend this tour”

11.Capri Boat Tour from Sorrento: Swim, Grottos & Light Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,201 reviews · 7 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $143

Set out from Sorrento with an English-speaking skipper and no more than 12 people aboard. Cruise past Capri’s grottos and Faraglioni, with swimming stops when conditions allow, then spend about four hours on the island. A Caprese sandwich, snacks and drinks are included. The Blue Grotto requires a separate tour option and entrance fee.

“It's a small group tour, therefore a small boat. The water between Sorrento and Capri is generally not smooth. Having said that, I'm slightly susceptible to feeding the fish on this type of trip. No worries this time, some ginger pills with breakfast and all good. It fit our timeline for seeing the highlights, but I would suggest an earlier morning ferry ride over, smoother and less costly, and spend time at your leisure exploring. Our guide Francisco was highly enthusiastic, very engaging and knowledgeable, giving us a multitude of tidbits along the way. Open bar is always a plus. A wonderful daytrip, highly recommend it.”

This experience met all our expectations. The boat was very nice and comfortable. We had the opportunity to take a swim in the cool water , which is absolutely beautiful ! I have never seen water so blue and clear ! Had a nice snack of wine and fruit which really hit the spot. I would go again if I return to Capri.”
