The blue grotto was not open on the day of our tour but it didn’t detract from our boat tour experience at all. The day was sunny and the water and stone formations on Capri were beautiful! Our boat captain was really experienced and got very close to the white and green grottoes so that we can taken some gorgeous pictures. Overall a wonderful experience!

An excellent small-group trip around the island of Capri! The tour was about 8 hours, but it was so dynamic that it felt much shorter. Our guides were amazing; we even found time to visit the Blue Grotto. The best way to see most of the island, especially if you have little time.

Amazing experience we had sailing to Capri on this tour. Very friendly and knowledgeable. We received some beer to enjoy and a caprese sandwich which was great. I highly recommend.

Wonderful tour!! Great guide and information, small group, and great stops in amalfi, positano, and other spots to swim (though beware of jellyfish!). Would highly recommend!!

One of the most unforgettable amazing day trip from which I made a lot of new friends! Friendly crews and well planed schedule. Highly recommend!
