Capri Island Boat Experience: Hidden Caves, Faraglioni and Crystal Clear Waters
Discover the legendary island of Capri from the sea aboard a traditional Sorrento gozzo
This Capri boat tour from Naples takes you directly to one of Italy's most iconic coastlines, where sheer limestone cliffs, secret sea grottos, and turquoise waters create a landscape unlike anywhere else in the Mediterranean.
Departing from Naples, Torre del Greco, or Amalfi, guests board a classic Sorrento gozzo and circle the island of Capri, passing natural landmarks that have drawn visitors for centuries. The route covers the Faraglioni rock stacks, the Natural Arch, the Punta Carena lighthouse, and the villa of writer Curzio Malaparte perched dramatically on the cliff edge.
The itinerary includes stops at the Marvelous Grotto, the White Grotto, and the Green Grotto, each offering a distinct encounter with the island's geological character. Free swimming and snorkeling pauses are built into the schedule, giving travelers time to enter the water directly from the boat.
A minimum of three hours is allocated for independent exploration on the island itself, allowing guests to walk the narrow lanes of Capri town, browse local shops, or simply enjoy a meal before the return journey. Snacks, drinks, and a limoncello tasting are included on board.
