The boat tour from Sorrento was the highlight of our Italy trip. The captain was knowledgeable and the limoncello on the way back was the perfect touch!
Even as an Italian, I found this tour exceptional. The small group size (12 people) made it feel very personal and the swimming stops were in the most beautiful water I've ever seen.
Beautiful views of the grottos. Note that the Blue Grotto entrance isn't always possible due to waves, but the Green and White grottos are just as stunning.
We booked a private boat for our family. It was worth every penny. Being able to set our own pace and stay longer at the Faraglioni for photos was amazing.
Everything was well-organized. The pickup from our Sorrento hotel was on time and the boat was very comfortable. Highly recommend the small group option.
You haven't seen Capri until you've seen it from the water. The coastline is incredible. Our guide gave us great tips for what to do during our 4 hours on land.
The boat was clean and the crew was very friendly. The snorkeling stop near Nerano Bay was a nice surprise. Just remember to bring plenty of sunscreen!
Booked through this site and everything was perfect. Instant confirmation and the tour operator in Sorrento was waiting for us as described. The limoncello was delicious!
Everything you need to know for your journey
Most tours visit the Blue Grotto, but the entrance fee (approx. €18) is typically not included as it is paid directly to the rowing boat operators at the cave entrance. Access is also weather-dependent.
Typically, tours allow between 3 to 5 hours of free time on the island. This is enough to visit Capri town, Anacapri, or take the chairlift to Monte Solaro.
If sea conditions are unsafe, tours are usually cancelled. You will be offered an alternative date or a full refund through the booking platform's policy.
Some premium tours include a light sandwich or snacks, while others focus on providing limoncello and drinks. Most people choose to have lunch during their free time on the island.
Yes, almost all Sorrento to Capri tours include 1 or 2 swimming stops in scenic spots like the Green Grotto or near the Faraglioni rocks, conditions permitting.
Shared tours are social, more affordable, and usually have 12-14 people. Private tours offer a dedicated boat and captain for your group with a flexible itinerary and more privacy.
Many operators offer hotel pickup from central Sorrento hotels. Check the specific tour details for 'Meeting Point' vs 'Pickup' options.
Yes, Capri is a top destination. Tours often sell out weeks in advance during the peak summer months (June-September).
Wear a swimsuit under comfortable light clothing, non-slip shoes, and a hat. Bring a light jacket or cover-up as it can be breezy on the water.
Most traditional Gozzo boats are not wheelchair accessible due to the boarding process, but some larger catamarans or specific private charters can accommodate mobility needs.
Yes, most captains are happy for you to bring your own snacks or a bottle of wine, though water and limoncello are frequently provided on board.
The best time is from May to early October. July and August are the busiest, while May, June, and September offer the best balance of warm weather and manageable crowds.
