Itinerary

Spiaggia Marina Grande
5 min

The Spiaggia Grande on Capri is an authentic jewel set in the extraordinary beauty of the island. With its soft sands, crystal clear waters and postcard landscape, it is the perfect place to relax and fully experience the charm of the Mediterranean.

5 min

A few steps from the beach of Marina Grande, there is a small stretch of coast embraced by imposing cliffs and kissed by the sun: the Baths of Tiberius. This historic place hosted the summers of the Roman emperors Augustus and Tiberius, who found refreshment here in the clear waters next to the villa on the sea, still visible today.

Blue Grotto
Admission not included60 min

The Blue Grotto is an unparalleled natural wonder, renowned for its timeless magic. The entrance, low and narrow, leads to an enchanted world, where the iridescent blue of the waters dances with filtered sunlight. This spectacle of reflections and shadows, venerated by the ancient Romans as a sacred place, continues to inspire artists and poets from every corner of the world. Exploring this cave is an unforgettable experience, a unique emotion that leaves its mark.

10 min

Along the path of the Forts, you will find a bay of rare beauty, famous for its unique landscape and the beautiful villa belonging to the designers Dolce & Gabbana. Not far away, the Grotta Iannarella, known as the "Cave of the Heart", fascinates with the heart carved into the rock inside. We will enter to admire this extraordinary peculiarity up close.

10 min

We will cross a bay with incredibly calm waters, a natural spectacle that enchants with its extraordinary atmosphere.

Punta Carena Lighthouse
5 min

The Punta Carena Lighthouse, the second most powerful in Italy after Genoa, is one of the oldest lighthouses in the country, lit for the first time in 1867. Far from the mass tourism circuits, it is a place of absolute peace. The sunset here is unmissable: one of the few spots on Capri where the sun plunges directly into the sea, creating a breathtaking panorama.

10 min

The Cave of Saints, with its stalactites in the shape of praying figures, is a hidden treasure. Its rocky walls and turquoise waters invite you to discover an underwater world vibrant with life and colors, giving an experience of adventure and wonder.

Grotta Verde
10 min

The Green Cave, once called the Cave of the Turks, amazes with its emerald green reflections and its imposing cliffs. The vibrant waters and natural decorations of stalactites and stalagmites create a unique and enveloping atmosphere. A dip in this cave is a journey into the heart of Capri's natural beauty.

45 min

At Punta Ventroso, we will have a relaxing break on board, toasting with prosecco and limoncello and enjoying an aperitif with fresh snacks. The adventurous can swim to the nearby shore to admire a beach full of pebbles, rocks and ancient buildings.

5 min

We will pass by the mythical Sirens Rock, the same one that, according to the Odyssey, saw Ulysses resist the call of the sirens.

10 min

The Cave of the Sailors of Capri, nestled among majestic cliffs, tells stories of fishermen and sailors who found refuge here in centuries past. The quiet atmosphere and soft light transport visitors to a world of maritime adventures and timeless legends.

Faraglioni
30 min

The famous Faraglioni of Capri, Lightning, Monacone, Stella and Scopolo, are the undisputed symbol of the island. These majestic rock formations have inspired legends and works of art and are a must-see stop to capture your trip with spectacular photos and selfies.

5 min

Villa Malaparte, an architectural icon designed in the 1930s by architect Adalberto Libera, is a timeless masterpiece. Set on a cliff overlooking the Faraglioni, this minimalist villa with a red facade represents a perfect balance between wilderness and modernity, continuing to inspire travelers and artists from around the world.

10 min

The White Grotto, with its pure limestone walls, is an authentic natural jewel. The entrance offers breathtaking views of the deep blue sea, while the light that filters creates a magical atmosphere.

Grotta Rossa
10 min

The Red Cave enchants with its deep red rock walls and turquoise waters that shine in the sunlight. A corner of paradise that leaves visitors breathless.

10 min

Finally, we will observe the cliff of Villa Jovis, 297 meters high, theater of legends related to the emperor Tiberius. It is said that he condemned the prisoners to be thrown from this hill and then shot into the sea.

Gennarino Scugnizzo Di Capri
Pass by

The Scugnizzo Statue warmly welcomes visitors with its smile, symbol of Capri's maritime culture and hospitality. This young fisherman represents the authentic spirit of the island and is an unmissable reference point for those who land on this enchanted land.

We arrived at the meeting...

We arrived at the meeting point just to find out that this is a total scam!!! Do not book. they “cancelled” on the morning of and proceeded to ask if we wanted to pay an extra 1,200 euros for a private tour. Do not book this site

Operator response

We're sorry for your dissatisfaction, but we're not scammers, nor have we ever scammed anyone in the five years we've been in this business. We don't deserve this negative and accusatory review. We did our utmost to accommodate your request, and as described in the offer, since the minimum number of participants for the trip wasn't reached that day, we couldn't make the boat available. To honor your reservation, we offered you a very convenient and discounted alternative, consisting only of the boat costs, which you declined because the cost was too high for you alone. We also offered you an alternative day and requested an immediate refund, which we promptly honored. We're sorry you weren't able to enjoy our magnificent tours, which would have left you with an unforgettable experience and would certainly have earned you a great review. We remain at your disposal for any opportunity you may have to try one of our services. Best regards

Great experience for a great price!

This was a very good tour! My wife and I came for our honeymoon and did this on our second day. Beers/prosecco was provided along with snacks, and our guide was fun and knowledgeable about the area. We unfortunately missed the blue grotto due to the wait time being too long, but it honestly didn’t hurt our experience one bit. I’d recommend this to anyone making their way to Capri. We even got drinks with a few people we met on the boat once the tour was over!

Best blue grotto & Il Fagliore (famous Arch) boat tour

Best blue grotto, Il Fagliore (famous Arch) & many other Capri sites by boat tour. Andrea, Captain of the Lions boat and Pasquale, the skipper, were experienced, nice & relaxed professionals who made the tour unforgettable!

Our guides were great and the swimming was fantastic. We didn't get to do the Blue Grotto as the line was 2.5 hours but we made up for it by swimming in the crystal clear blue water.

Definitely a must if visiting Capri!

Valerio was an amazing guide during this experience! This was our second time doing a Capri boat tour and unfortunately both times we weren’t able to visit the blue grotto due to weather conditions of the ocean. Waters were definitely a little more rough than we previously experienced, but Vincenzo did an amazing job of navigating the boat through the waters! Amazing tour, very informational and great experience overall! Definitely would recommend to anyone visiting Capri! Great way to see the whole island! Breathtaking views!

Great views, Fun trip

The boat tour was great with Valerio and Vincenzo. We could not visit the Blue Grotto as the wait was too long. But the rest of the stops were amazing. The food and drinks were great and appetising. We had a lot of fun. Highly recommend.

Excellent Crew and Scenic Day, But Misleading Itinerary Was a Letdown

Thanks! Here’s the final, revised version of your review with that detail added: ⸻ We had a wonderful day out on the water with this tour. The boat was comfortable, the coastline was stunning, and the crew were absolutely fantastic — friendly, professional, and attentive throughout the day. They truly made the experience special, and we appreciated how well-organized and relaxed everything felt. Unfortunately, there was one major issue that left us disappointed. The detailed itinerary we booked from specifically stated there would not be a stop in Capri — which was a key reason we chose this tour. However, once we were onboard, we were told there would be a stop in Capri and were presented with three options: 1. Pay €200 to disembark and explore Capri independently. 2. Go ashore and eat at a specific restaurant chosen by the company. 3. Stay on the small boat in the harbour for three hours while the others went ashore. We ended up going to the restaurant, which turned out to be a frustrating experience — the food was overpriced and quite poor, and we felt pressured into a stop we hadn’t signed up for. It really took away from what had otherwise been a relaxing and enjoyable day. At least two other guests told us they were also surprised and had booked this tour specifically because it didn’t include a Capri stop. It felt like a bait-and-switch, and that part of the experience left a sour note. That said, everything else about the day was excellent, and the crew truly went above and beyond. If the company simply updated the itinerary to reflect the actual plan, it would save others from this kind of confusion — and this could easily be a five-star experience.

Operator response

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback — we’re truly pleased to hear that you had a wonderful day on the water, enjoyed the beauty of the coastline, and especially appreciated our crew. They’ll be delighted to know their attentiveness made your experience memorable! That said, we’re genuinely sorry to read about your disappointment regarding the Capri stop. We’d like to clarify a few points, as we strive to be transparent in everything we do — especially when it comes to something as dazzling (and occasionally chaotic) as the Amalfi Coast. Our itineraries always aim to strike a balance between structure and flexibility. While many of our tours include a potential stop at Capri, this is often weather- and time-dependent — and, of course, always optional for the tour you booked. For the Blue Grotto Tour, we never require guests to disembark, and we certainly don’t force anyone into a €200 lunch (though we’ve heard of worse ways to spend an afternoon than sipping wine with a sea view!), and in any case, if not clear, we're the company of the boat tour, not the restaurant 😂 That said, if there was a miscommunication about the inclusion of Capri, we sincerely apologize. We are currently reviewing the listing, but, honestly, there is no words referred to a disembarkation or a land visit, or a land free time, etc... so, very hard to predict what you could intend or a single person could intend. It’s never our intention to surprise our guests with hidden stops — unless it’s a dolphin sighting, in which case all bets are off. We’re sorry to hear that the restaurant didn’t live up to expectations, but, as said we're the boat company, nothing to share with the restaurants. Above all, we’re grateful that despite this issue, you still found the day excellent and our crew deserving of praise. That means a great deal to us. We hope you’ll give us another opportunity in the future — we’d love to welcome you back, for free, for a new experience !

Excursion with my daughter

The views were amazing! The Blue Grotto ended up being closed for the day due to the winds. But the “Lion” Crew made sure to show us amazing scenery and for our boat to have a good time and we did.
