• 5Great experience!

  This was an amazing experience! We had Paola as our guide who was very personable and knowledgeable. It made for a very fun atmosphere. The company had to delay the start due to weather conditions but they still managed to hold the tour for more than 8 hours and they were very cautious and safe. We waited in a line for a while at the Blue Grotto but still saw it nonetheless (it was incredible). I highly recommend this tour! There was a 15€ check in fee and also admission to the Blue Grotto was not included in the tour. We knew these things as they were posted so no surprises there, just wanted to inform anyone reading reviews. We spent 3.5 hours on Capri Island and went to Anacapri for a chair lift and high point view of the island. The wait was about an hour for that but left us with little time to explore the town of Capri.

• 5Great experience

  Fantastic tour. Ferdinando was a great host and made the trip interesting and fun. Capri was beautiful, very busy on the island, but we had time to eat, relax and swim. Highly recommend this tour.

• 5A Wonderful Family Boat Tour to Capri

  We had a fantastic time on our boat tour to Capri! The captain and first mate were both wonderful—friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the trip. We enjoyed relaxing with drinks, taking in the beautiful scenery, and swimming in the crystal-clear water. Although we weren’t able to visit the Blue Grotto because of the tide, we still had the opportunity to see several other beautiful caves, which were incredible. The swimming stops were a highlight of the day, and the entire experience was fun and relaxing. We highly recommend this boat tour for anyone visiting Capri!

• 5Blue water and coast views!

  Amazing views on the way to Capri! We had good weather but a bit too choppy to enter the blue grotto which was a shame 😔 although we did pass by some beautiful landmarks and caves! The water was so nice and blue! Stopped for a swim before Capri. Orsala was an amazing host and took great pictures for us! 😀 We had a lovely small group of people with us. Capri was unexpectedly so busy! Orsala suggested going to the top with chair lifts to admire the view. This was a good idea although the wait to the chair lifts was 50 minutes! The view just from the chair lifts up were amazing! Up top was awesome too and not as busy. Had a light lunch up there then had to come back down. Didn’t have a chance to see anything else but that was okay by us as it was super busy! It was nice to get back on the boat! We made another swim stop and was offered fruit and bubbles! What a lovely surprise 😮😍 thank you Orsala you were amazing! 🤩

About Sorrento

Sorrento perches on cliffs above the Bay of Naples, a charming lemon-scented town that makes an easy base for Capri, Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast.

The town's centre is Piazza Tasso, from which narrow lanes run past churches, shops selling limoncello and inlaid woodwork, and the peaceful cloister of San Francesco. Steps and lifts lead down the cliffs to Marina Piccola, where the boats leave, and to Marina Grande, a fishing harbour with seafood restaurants right by the water.

Top-ranked sights in Sorrento: Marina Grande, Baths of Queen Giovanna (Bagni Regina Giovanna), Praiano.
