Half-Day Small Group Trip to Capri and Blue Grotto from Sorrento
Sail through legendary waters, discover sea caves, and soak in the island atmosphere of Capri in just half a day.
This Capri Blue Grotto boat tour offers a compact yet rewarding way to explore one of Italy's most celebrated islands, combining coastal landmarks, sea caves, and crystal-clear swimming spots in a single morning or afternoon on the water.
Departing from the Sorrento area, the tour keeps groups to a maximum of 12 passengers, creating an experience that feels personal rather than crowded. Dry snacks and drinks are provided on board, and there is a dedicated stop for swimming in open water.
The route takes in some of Capri's most recognizable coastal features, including the Faraglioni rock formations, Punta Carena Lighthouse, the Natural Arch, and both the White and Green Grottoes. A stop outside the Blue Grotto allows passengers the option to enter independently, subject to sea conditions and queue times.

Tour Itinerary
The tour begins with a pick-up from the Sorrento area before setting out by boat toward the island of Capri. The crossing offers early views of the Bay of Naples and the surrounding coastline.
The route passes the White Grotto, a natural stone formation set against a backdrop of pine trees, and the Natural Arch, a distinctive geological feature carved by the sea over centuries.
The boat navigates close to the three Faraglioni stacks, including Stella, Faraglione di Mezzo with its famous stone archway, and Scopolo. Marina Piccola bay, located at the base of these formations, is pointed out as one of the island's best swimming spots.
A stop in open water allows passengers to swim in the clear sea along Capri's coast. This is an optional activity and conditions may vary depending on the day.
The tour continues to the southwestern edge of the island where the Punta Carena Lighthouse stands, followed by a view of the Green Grotto, named for the distinctive colour of the light inside.
The boat stops outside the Blue Grotto, giving passengers the opportunity to enter independently by rowboat. Access is subject to sea conditions and the queue on the day, and the entrance fee is not included in the tour price.
