Rejseplan
Kejser Augustus var den første til at turnere rundt i øens fornøjelser ved at kalde den "Sød ledighedsby", og siden da har Capri tiltrukket enhver slags dagdrømmere. En stor klippe svæver som en drøm fortabt i det koboltblå hav, der omgiver den: dette er Capri, middelhavsjuvelen, der længes efter og ophøjes i nogle af verdens mest berømte lyriske poesi. Den berusende duft af blomster, delikate farvestænk, erindringer om en tusindårig fortid og en fredelig charme, kun knust af mågernes skingrende skrig, er blot nogle af de magiske kvaliteter ved denne mytiske ø. Fantastiske grotter, skyhøje koniske tinder, huler store og små, plus villaer af kejsere og tusindvis af legender, børste Capri med en luft af hvisket mystik. Den blå grotte er den mest berømte seværdighed på øen Capri, så mindst én gang i dit liv bør du opleve dette naturvidunder: når du er ankommet med din private båd til den blå grotte, hopper du ombord på en robåd af træ, læn dig tilbage , og lad dig blive båret gennem en lillebitte stenportal til en anden verden af din dygtige skipper, som navigerer problemfrit under den meterhøje hulemunding. I modsætning til hulens intime rum og levende farve er de tre tinder længere ude til havet, der dukker op fra det azurblå vand og peger mod himlen: de er Faraglioni og er berømt for deres betagende skønhed og hjemsted for en række sjældne dyreliv.

We boarded the boat and our guide did not introduce himself or even speak for 3 hours of the trip. There were 7 clean towels for our group of 10. There was 4 bottles of water and four soft drinks floating in water in a cooler with no ice. We asked to go to the blue grotto and he told us 30-40 minute wait, which was expected. We waited there for nearly 90 minutes with several boats pulling in after us getting people into the grotto. He tried yelling a couple of time from a distance but was ignored. We finally just told him to leave as we did not want to spend most of the trip sitting and waiting. We then went around the island and headed Back into the port around 4:00. We asked if he could try to get us into the blue grotto as we had an hour left and he told us they close at 4, we later learned from one of the workers they close at “5-5:30”. He then tried to ask for money for beer and wine we drank out of the Cooler (only because there were no other beverages, all we really wanted was water). He was on his phone several times during the trip and very disconnected. The trip ended 45 minutes early at 4:15. My wife and I did a tour in 2016 and have been talking for years to our friends and kids as we planned this trip about what an incredible experience it was and are very disappointed we did not see the grotto and did not even get a 4 hour ride, much less any kind of tour. I reached out to the company rep I had been communicating with before writing a review hoping she would address this and try to make things right or at least apologize. I was called a liar on all fronts. Not one person in our boat even knows the name of the captain as he never introduced himself. I have never felt the need to leave a negative review about something before and am not high maintenance or a complainer but I would recommend staying away from this company. When I was doing my research, I did see a negative review and the company responded in a similar fashion to the way they responded to me. I thought maybe it was just somebody complaining that shouldn’t have. Do not make the same mistake we did.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. First of all nobody was calling liar, but we need to answer listening both sides as we were not there. For this reason we checked the situation with the boat captain and the local manager and here are some points: 1. We have been advised that Enzo was your captain yesterday. Our company is in Rome but we personally know Enzo. We know he is a great captain, this is why he owns and drives big boats. I can’t imagine him being with 10 people for 4 hours without speaking one word (you said he didn’t speak for 3 hours); 2. Regarding towels: the local manager and the captain know days in advance (since the booking date), how many people will be on the boat that day, so organize everything in advance. There were 10 yellow towels on the boat, for sure, because everything is double checked; 3. Drinks: we have the pictures of the amount for drinks that you drank on the boat and were not only 4 bottle of water and 4 soft drinks as you said, but more (beers, prosecco and fragolino red wine). I am sure that you can consider that the tour do not include infinite amount of drinks. The boat is not a bar on the sea. The boat tour is to admire the panorama, to jump in the sea, relax, have fun with friends. If you knew you were needed more drinks you could ask us in advance (paying an extra), or take directly with you before boarding. Usually the island tours only include some soft drinks and water and we expect customers to understand that alchool can dangerous when drank under the sun. We never know how a customer can be under the effect of alchool, and we want to avoid problems. In the tour you booked one bottle of prosecco or white wine was included (check on included and not included section), this is why the captain asked to our local manager if you had to pay the extra for the beers, the prosecco and the fragolino bottles that you drank. Even if only one bottle was included and you had more, no extra money was requested to pay. When you said that money was requested I also should expect that you confirm that nothing was paid to him. Again, only water, soft drinks and one bottle of prosecco was included. The extra you drank was not included and you DID NOT pay anything. You said that you checked in the cooler and saw only “4 bottles of water and 4 soft drinks (which is not true looking at the pictures of what you drank) floating in water in a cooler with no ice”. I hope you can consider that you were 4 hours on a boat under the sun an no electricity available to keep the ice box cold. 4. Blue grotto. The entrance in the blue grotto is NOT included in the tour (check on included and not included section), also because we don’t know if it is open or not due to high tide, wind or rough sea. When the captain asks you if you want to visit it, you must consider the waiting time until your turn arrives. The waiting time spent in front of the blue grotto cannot be recovered.The decision is only yours. The entrance of the grotto is managed by Capri City Hall (Blue grotto is considered a museum), and managed by the few sailors with small boats, which can contain max 4 people a time, this is why your turn takes long (you should know this being there in 2016, but you shoul also consider that times are changed since that year). The captain can have an idea of the waiting time (you said he told you 30-40 minutes) but cannot be sure 100% . When you arrive in front of the grotto you must wait you turn and there isn’t any other way to skip the line. Your boat captain is not responsible for the waiting time. It is up to you if you want to wait or continue your tour. The captain told us you wanted to wait and after one hour and half you decided to move and continue the tour island. You did the other grottos, jumped in the sea, swimming, admiring the view of the island from the sea. You said that you were back at the sea port at 4:00pm when after you said that the tour ended at 4:15pm. 5. Then you group decided they wanted to return back to the sea port. The captain called the manager advising of your decision to go back a bit earlier then 5:00pm (end time of tour). We have a registered message of our captain which says at 4:15pm that he is going back to the sea port also saying that he will take 10 minutes. The local manager said that she was going to meet him and this is what she did. You met her 15/20 minutes before 5:00pm, but to go back earlier was your decision. We have registered messages for this conversation. In your message you said that you were at the sea port at 4:00pm so you asked to go back to the blue grotto because you had one hour left. The stop at the blue grotto must decided at the beginning so the captain can customize the tour deciding from which side of the island he has to start. To reach the grotto, go inside and go back to the sea port need over one hour. In any case as said you must decide before. Regarding opening time of the grotto, the official time, that you can check on internet as well is 5:00pm, but you must consider that it is in the sea and weather conditions can change even in few minutes. The expert employees at the grotto can decide to open or close the grotto when they think is safe to let people enter or exit from it, without any advice. Yesterday the weather was a bit windy and the sea wasn’t flat, so the grotto closed before 5:00pm. If the situation of the boat was not as you were expecting you should advice the captain and the local manage. We really apologize!
This is the way to see Capri! Amazing afternoon seeing the coastline, with caves and stunning views! Our boat captain provided great insights and a relaxing atmosphere. He arranged for a lovely stop for lunch, coordinating the timing and plan. Highly recommend and would do this again!
Thank you for letting us and the community know about your fantastic experience with us! We hope to see you again soon! Arrivederci!
The boat tour around the island was amazing, even better than we were expecting! I think being on a private boat really made the experience special, you pass many other boat tours, the majority of them crammed with people, which didn’t look great. The captain/tour guides, Pietro and Mariano, were excellent, very friendly and informative with a lot of recommendations, but also weren’t constantly trying to speak to us the full trip, giving us time to just relax and soak it all in. Overall fully recommend the trip!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience in Capri with Rome Italy Explora. We take pride in knowing our customers are happy with their tour experience with us!
Such a great way to see the island and all the beautiful grottos. Only negative - the caption’s English was not the best and he wasn’t the most friendly individual.
We are so grateful for your 5-star review. Thanks for sharing your rating with us and the community. I also want to thank you for your feedback and criticisms about the captain.
This was the one tour my husband and I scheduled outside of our travel agency on our honeymoon. It was an easy ferry ride to the meeting point from our hotel in Sorrento. It was easy to find our guide and our boat was beautiful! We splurged on this on our trip and both of us were so glad we did! The boat tour was our favorite tour on our trip! We pulled into each grotto and our skipper even let us jump off the boat to swim into some of the caves by ourselves. We saw so many jaw dropping views of the Capri coast. It was such a wonderful experience with memories we will keep forever. Plenty of Peroni and even Limoncello on board :). We plan to do this tour again on our next trip!
We are incredibly grateful that you took the time out to leave us this note. Our company values put customer satisfaction as top priority and we at Rome Italy Explora, are committed to our customers. Its customers like you that make our job wonderful. We look forward to serving you again.
