What you'll do

Begin your unforgettable day on the water with a transfer from the meeting point to the port, where you'll join your local guide and the rest of the group. Once aboard, you'll set sail for Capri, cruising along the Sorrento Coast and taking in the stunning sights such as the ancient fishermen's village of Marina Grande, the ruins of a Roman villa near Bagni della Regina Giovanna, and a natural waterfall cascading from the rock.

Upon reaching the captivating shores of Capri, get ready to embark on an immersive boat tour that will take you on a journey to the island's must-see treasures, like the Marvelous Grotto, the enchanting White Grotto, and the vibrant Green Grotto. Along the way, marvel at the Natural Arch, Villa Curzio Malaparte, the iconic Faraglioni rocks, and the Lighthouse of Punta Carena. Throughout the voyage, your knowledgeable and engaging guides will accompany you, sharing fascinating insights about the island's rich history and revealing hidden gems that make Capri truly extraordinary.

During your boat tour, your captain will anchor the boat twice, allowing you to swim and snorkel in the clear Mediterranean waters. Take a relaxing break on board and enjoy appetizers, snacks, as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages that are provided.

Afterward, you'll have ample time to freely explore the island of Capri for three to five hours. Immerse yourself in its charm as you leisurely stroll along picturesque streets, visit the renowned Piazzetta, or even take a bus to Anacapri for stunning panoramic views of the island. The choice is yours to make the most of your time. Keep in mind that transportation on the island is not included in the excursion, so plan accordingly and consider bringing a map to navigate your way back to the harbor.

As you leave Capri and return to Sorrento, enjoy a delightful happy hour and savor a limoncello tasting. It's the perfect way to end your day on a sweet note. Upon arrival at the port of Piano di Sorrento, you'll be transferred back to the meeting point, carrying unforgettable memories of your day exploring the beautiful island of Capri.

Tips for future travelers

Be ready for the driver to pack you up early. We were told to be ready at 7:30 am and the driver almost left us because we weren’t ready at 7:20.

Tips for future travelers It is a 12-hour day. Once you are on Capri you are dependent on when the boat wants to pick you up. We spent 5 hours in Capri which was 2 hours too long for a day trip. Read more

It was beyond magical to swim in the sea not once but twice. Transportation on the island was a bit annoying at the end of the day, but this excursion will live in my memory forever. Read more

Boat ride guides were great but time on Amalfi not so great because it was SO crowded. Guide provided some helpful guidance about what to do on the island but it could have been clearer and a map of how to get back to the harbor from various locations on the island would have been helpful. He showed us this on his map but having our own copies would have been better. Guides made the trip on the boat a lot of fun and were engaging. Read more

Tips for future travelers

Be aware of crowds if going during August! Limits what you can do during your short time on the island. The boat has limited options on docking times so less flexible.

The staff was friendly and informative. They made sure to show us all the sights and gave us lots of information. They even played "That's Amore" when we went under the arches in Capri--which was hilarious and fun. The only complaint I have about this tour is they drop you in Capri for 5 hours. I would have preferred more time on the boat and swimming in the Mediterranean. Read more
