Really lovely experience to circumnavigate Capri, would have liked to go to Blue Grotto, however wait time 1.5 hours, too much to rxpe t in the heat of the day.
The tour was split in two activities. First you go with the boat service to the blue grotto. Which is a marvelous place. our captain was doing well in lining up at the blue grotto, not to wait too long for the additional boat there. What we didn't know, that you can also come on road (I guess per bus) from Anacapri andget the blue Grotto rowing boat directly. The second service was then the round the island tour. Where we also had nice guide with good explanations. Basically you jump on the next round the island boat service after returning from the blue grotto experience. In our case we had no long wait even there was a bit of a crowd. The views of Capri all around are beautiful and the blue grotto is amazing. So the whole trip was well worth it.
This experience was just the right amount of time on a boat that was very enjoyable with the Capri Sun and the blue ocean making the experience exactly what we anticipated
This excursion to Capri was overall a very enjoyable experience and well worth doing. The meeting point was easy to find and the departure was on time. Anastasia was friendly, helpful and well organized throughout the day. The boat crew was also extremely attentive and pleasant, making the journey comfortable and enjoyable. The only disappointing part was the departure area at Torre del Greco. The surroundings were very dirty, and the café recommended for coffee and restroom facilities was not up to standard. Although it was possible to have a coffee there, the restroom facilities were inadequate and not properly maintained. The boat trip itself was excellent, and the arrival in Capri was very well organized. We were given four hours of free time to explore the island. Unfortunately, Capri was extremely crowded, with thousands of visitors, making it difficult to move around and fully enjoy some areas. This is obviously not the fault of the tour operator, but it did affect the overall experience. Despite the crowds, I was able to explore the island, reach the seaside and even enjoy a swim, which made the visit memorable. The return journey was smooth and well organized. Overall, this was a very good excursion with an excellent guide and crew. Capri is a beautiful destination, and I am glad I chose this tour.
We were happy as we reached the counter and she told us we could take an optional boat to the blue grotto first which we did. We waited an hour on the boat for our turn and then had an amazing experience in the grotto. On our return we got another boat ( leaves every 15 mins) that took is around the island. The boats were not crowded and we had a great experience.
Good experience with a good explanation of the meeting point and clear instructions. The excursion is a boat tour around the island with a swim included near the Arch of Love in Capri.
HP Travel has a terrific team for the Naples/Capri day trips. They were organized, clear with their communication, and interested that their guests enjoyed themselves. I took the Capri tour that included a 30-minute swim and loved it. I also found it very helpful, as a solo traveler, that they had an option for a Naples shuttle pick up. Anastasia and the team are great!
We hopped on the boat for just the blue grotto tour, waited in line at the blue grotto for about an hour and got to see it. It appears to be mass chaos but it really wasn’t bad. Our skipper took care to make sure we got in and other boats didn’t skip the line. When we were finished the boat took us back to the dock. We could have gone out to do the island tour after we got back but we were satisfied with the blue grotto. It was worth the price and the wait. I would definitely recommend it!
Very nice boat trip around the island. The guide demonstrated knowledge and the boat was conducted very safely
I’d recommend getting to Capri earlier and hop on the earliest boat to the Blue Grotto so it’s not a long wait in a rocking boat then you can wander in Capri until the actual tour. The Blue Grotto is breathtaking!
