Itinerary

Faraglioni
Pass by

During the 2-hour tour of the island of Capri you will have the opportunity to see the whole coast of the island, the White Grotto, the Faraglioni, the Sailors' Grotto, the Green Grotto, the Champagne Grotto, the Punta Carena Lighthouse. the Forts of Anacapri, the Blue Grotto and Bagni di Tiberio.

White Grotta
Pass by

The White Grotto is so called for the color of the tuff that dyes the sea cavity with light shades. Wide and wide at the entrance, it is narrowing more and more, until it reaches a tufaceous platform where there are evident signs of the presence of man. For centuries, fishermen have known this cave which they use, as a shelter for boats, during sudden storms (the summer and autumn zephyr tails) that hit the island. The German scientist Kyrle discovered that the water mirrors found inside this cave have a large percentage of rainwater. At first a spring was thought of, later it was discovered that it is the continuous dripping of rainwater that creates these freshwater lakes.

Spiaggia di Marina Piccola
Pass by

Marina Piccola is located on the southern side of the island, protected behind by a steep rock wall: this is why it is always a warm and poorly ventilated place. ... In Marina Piccola you will find several private bathing establishments: From Gioia. The Song of the Sea. Saracen Tower.

Grotta Verde
Pass by

The Green Grotto, formerly known as the Grotta dei Turchi, is a cavity located on the southern side of the Island of Capri, in Campania, known above all for the color of the water inside which, due to particular plays of light, takes on the green colour.

Very misleading description--def not worth the price

When we met for the tour it was a little sketchy. A girl came down the street and met us--which was kind of weird. I told her we had a two tour but she said there was not way we would see the blue grotto. The driver took us past the blue grotto but we did not get in line. This should be spelled out in the description. It is very misleading.

Operator response

we’re sorry to read your review, but we’d like to clarify a few important points. As clearly stated in the tour description, the stop at the Blue Grotto is not included in the two-hour tour. The captain took you past the Blue Grotto, as scheduled, but entering the site was never part of this specific tour. You also went past our meeting point, which is why one of our staff members came to meet you to make sure you didn’t miss your experience. Additionally, we moved your tour from 12:00 to 10:30 as a favor, to accommodate your timing and ensure a smoother trip. We believe this was a fair and professional effort on our part, and we always recommend reading the full tour description before booking to avoid misunderstandings. Best regards

Bucket list swim in a grotto

This was a bucket list excursion! Phillipe took the 2 of us around the island stopping in a few grottos and allowing us to swim through the Green Grotto as well as adjacent ones. Unforgettable! We were not interested in waiting for the blue grotto. My geologist husband and I were very interested in all of the rock formations, caves and stalactites. Philippe was knowledgeable and low key, which suited us perfectly. Tip: go on boat trips early as it's less busy, even in October.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that your bucket list experience around Capri lived up to expectations. It’s great that you were able to explore the Green Grotto and nearby caves in such a personal and relaxed way. Philippe will be delighted to know his knowledge and calm demeanor made the tour even more special for you and your husband. Thank you also for the great tip—early outings really do offer a more peaceful experience. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure! 🌊⛵️

Amazing 2hr tour around Capri

We had an amazing time on the boat tour around Capri island. Swimming in the green grotto was a highlight. Our guide took a beautiful picture of us with the faraglioni in the background.

5 star service

I had the best boat trip with Maurizio, who was super nice, informative and attentive. We visited the grotta, took a dive, drank prosecco, it was all in all perfect.

Very average tour

Boat arrived 12 mins late. We had to make it back on time to catch the ferry but we were dropped off on the edge of the pier and were told to wait for another 2 mins (which ended up being 15 mins) for a driver to take us back to the marina. Most of the time on the water was spent navigating between the many boats. Was a very average trip for the high price of €335.

Operator response

Unfortunately there are the entrances and exits of the boats from the port regulated by the coast guard, if we do not have their consent to the entry by radio, we are forced to wait, regarding the price no one has asked you or forced you to book with us.

Very nice

the experience was truly unforgettable, the landscape was truly wonderful, it's a shame that the tour doesn't last very long. I'll probably do it again next year.

Great value for money, great private tour

Boat ride around island is a great idea! And with this tour you got exactly what is offered. Captain was there, but it was like he wasn't hhh Felt really private then! We dont even know his name hhhh His only talk was fairly said spots at where we were, he let us swim at green cave and pick the best place for stop. There is no gratitudes which is also all right as they point that on description. We bought beers and chips and enjoyed very much. You get towels which is great, no need to carry that weight. Maybe this shoud be stated in what is included. If you want entertainment and gratitudes give some dolar more in other offers. Value for money - fair! Greetings from Croatia! Ps: captain did asked us something besides points and that was "where are you from?" and "bye" at the end of trip. You are great guy captain 🫡

Operator response

Thank you for your review, even if partially false, the boat captain is there to guide the boat and explain the caves of the island and the various points of the island, in the two-hour tour therefore a quick tour the captain of the boat having in a short time he will not be able to recite the divine comedy, but he will have to go around the island and a brief stop for you to swim, among other things he asked you if it was ok for you to sail on the southwest side of the island where the sea was rough you told him you were Croatian so no problem, you asked him to stop for pictures and asked him to take pictures of you which he did, sorry there was no gratitude from us, next time we will arrange with a rug red when you arrive and we will throw rose petals at you. So I want to clarify before making fun of my captain, that he does his job with professionalism and don't forget that on a boat you need real captains and not entertainers who drive the boat, but they don't understand anything about the sea. Maybe find out about the news stories that happened yesterday where a customer of another company lost his life on the Amalfi coast, in order to understand the difference between boat captains and entertainers

Lower your expectation, it’s literally only a boat ride.

The boat ride is a great way to capture the sights of Capri and escape the crowds around the port. However, it was simply a boat ride. Our tour guide did not give us much information other than a couple short stories about parts of the island. Every other not that passed by us had passengers with drinks in their hands. We were not offered anything. Also, he did not have proper sized vests for our children so unfortunately they could not spend time in the sea.

Operator response

You have booked a simple two-hour tour at the last minute, we promptly provided you with the boat, no type of alcoholic beverage is included, also because you have booked the cheapest tour we have. If you have special requests for drinks and life jackets for children that need to be made before the tour, I can assure you that the boats have all the safety equipment including the life jackets that you may not have liked. we provide boat rides while due to the whims of customers we still don't know what to do we hope to resolve it as soon as possible. Try to enjoy your holiday instead of tarnishing the reputation of those who work every day under the scorching sun and do everything possible to please you.
