Highlights

Be among the very first to enter the Blue Grotto with our Early Entrance Experience—a truly exclusive way to witness one of Italy's most breathtaking natural wonders. By starting early, you'll be among the first to glide into the grotto before the crowds arrive, giving you a peaceful, intimate experience in the glowing blue waters. As you approach, the soft morning light will illuminate the water and walls of the cave, creating an ethereal, almost magical blue glow that is even more enchanting in the quiet of the early hours. If you're lucky, you may even have the chance to tow the legendary local rowers behind your private boat as you make your way from Capri’s port to the Blue Grotto, giving them a lift on their way. This unique touch adds an unforgettable element to your experience. This is the perfect tour for those looking to beat the crowds and fully immerse themselves in the tranquil beauty of the Blue Grotto, experiencing Capri like few others ever will.

About Capri

Capri is a steep limestone island in the Bay of Naples, known for its sea grottoes, rock stacks and villas, and the terraced town above the harbour.

Capri rises from the sea off the Sorrentine peninsula, with two towns on its saddle: Capri itself, whose small square, the Piazzetta, is lined with cafés, and Anacapri, higher and quieter on the western side. The Roman emperor Augustus liked the island and Tiberius spent his last years here, and the ruins of his Villa Jovis stand on the eastern cliffs. Ferries and hydrofoils arrive at the Marina Grande.

Top-ranked sights in Capri: Faraglioni, Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra), Green Grotto (Grotta Verde).
