Capri Blue Grotto Small-Group Boat Day Tour From Sorrento
Description
The perfect tour to experience Capri in the early morning and avoid the island’s peak crowds. Your journey begins with a scenic cruise along the stunning Sorrento coastline, where you’ll admire the charming fishing village of Marina Grande and the remains of an ancient Roman villa dating back to the 1st century BC. Upon arrival in Capri, you’ll head directly to the famous Blue Grotto. Please note that the visit to the Blue Grotto is subject to weather conditions and high tide. Get ready to discover Capri’s most iconic coastal highlights from the sea: the legendary Faraglioni, the Green Grotto, the White Grotto and the historic Punta Carena Lighthouse. Enjoy refreshing swimming stops in crystal-clear waters and approximately three hours of free time on the island to explore Capri at your own pace. Return to Sorrento is expected around 3:15 pm. Please note: the itinerary suggested by Viator is not fixed and may vary depending on sea conditions and the captain’s decisions.
Tour Options
Itinerary
Leaving from Sorrento port, sail along the Sorrento coastline
Pass by the charming fishing village of Marina Grande
Pass by an ancient Roman villa dating back to the 1st century BC.
This tour will allow you to visit the Blue Grotto as soon as you arrive on Capri, thus avoiding waiting times. The visit is dependent on the weather/sea conditions.
Pass by one of the oldest lighthouses in Italy, from which you can see the ancient path of the Bourbon forts.
The Green Grotto, classified by speleologists as secondary (i.e. produced, due to destructive phenomena, after the formation of the mother rock), is composed of the oldest sedimentary rock on Capri, dolomite.
Pass by the legendary Faraglioni rocks. Stop to take souvenir photos.
You can see, among the white limestone rocks, the strong contrast between the light of the cave and the blue of the sea, making this place surreal also thanks to the thick and suggestive stalactites and stalagmites.
Disembarkation on the island. Visit Capri's main attractions: the main square (La Piazzetta), Via Camerelle (Capri's most famous street for shopping in international brand shops) and the Augustus Gardens.
Stop for swimming. Depending on the season, there will be two stops for swimming (before and after the walking tour of the island) lasting approximately 20-30 minutes each, or a single stop (after the walking tour of the island) lasting approximately 45-50 minutes.
Return to Sorrento. Disembarkation at Sorrento port around 3:15 pm

The crew were fantastic organized and very accommodating. We had a great time
I enjoyed this tour with Paola and Vincenzo. They are very helpful guides and Paola guided us throughout the tour telling us the story of Capri islands. Our first stop was Blue Grotto which was a great experience. We did not have to wait for long. l in the queue. Afterwards we had a boat ride around the island followed with free time in Capri about 3.30 hours which was very reasonable. The tour also allows time for swimming, snacks and generally is very relaxing so would recommend!
It was worth the money spent. The guide was very helpful and the time on the island allowed us to see do the chair lift, Augusta garden and shop around the town. The taxi at to the chair lift was 35 euros but split between 6 people is best.
Was so much fun! Very organized. Small group. Orsola was outstanding guiding us! We all would highly recommend this tour! We were able to do the blue grotto and chair lift as well on this tour! Loved it! Also a young couple on the tour got engaged on the boat. Very special!
Great experience. Got to see a lot. Only complaint is the fact they park at the small marina which means had to take a taxi to town
Had a great experience with Paola. Hosted us for a wonderful trip. Very helpful, fun and friendly
Lucio is awesome - we had the best time on “Baby.” Lucio was super knowledgeable and happy to give information whenever we asked. The two swims were beautiful! Blue Grotto lives up to the hype. Overall great day, would recommend & do again (I’d rather stay on the boat all day than go exploring)
Lucio was amazing! He made the tour so enjoyable by being himself and making sure everyone was having a good time. Would highly recommend this excursion! Lucio even gives you a list of things to do on Capri so you do not waste any time. The entire team was great.
The tour by capri is very good, we had an excellent day with Lusiano.
Amazing tour with Tessa and Ciro! They took us all around the island and we were lucky to be able to go to the blue grotto. We were able to swim and snorkel. Tessa was so knowledgeable and Ciro was a fantastic captain!
