From Sorrento: Discover Capri and Blue Grotto
Sail the legendary waters of the Amalfi Coast and explore the island that has seduced emperors, artists, and travellers for centuries.
This full-day Capri boat tour from Sorrento takes you along the dramatic Sorrento Coast before circling the island of Capri by sea, visiting its most celebrated sea caves including the iconic Blue Grotto. With swimming stops, on-board refreshments, and time to explore the island on foot, the experience covers both the natural and cultural highlights of one of Italy's most storied destinations.
The journey begins with a hotel pick-up and a scenic transfer to the port of Piano di Sorrento, where the boat departs along the coastline. En route to Capri, passengers pass the ancient fishermen's village of Marina Grande, the ruins of a Roman villa near Bagni della Regina Giovanna, and a natural waterfall that cascades directly from the cliff face into the sea.
Once at Capri, the boat circumnavigates the island, stopping at the Marvelous Grotto, the White Grotto, and the Green Grotto before reaching the Blue Grotto. The visit to the Blue Grotto is included in the itinerary and guaranteed weather and sea conditions permitting. Along the route, the boat also passes landmarks such as the Natural Arch, Villa Curzio Malaparte, the Faraglioni rock formations, and the Lighthouse of Punta Carena.
After the sea portion, guests have three to five hours to explore the island independently by land, discovering its villages, viewpoints, and local character at their own pace. The return to Sorrento is accompanied by a limoncello tasting on board, rounding off the day before the transfer back to your hotel.
