Capri & Blue Grotto Small Group Full-Day Boat Tour from Positano

Highlights

Inclusions

Itinerary

1. STOP AT THE BLUE GROTTO: The entrance to the "Capri Blue Grotto" costs an extra €18 per person and tickets are purchase and paid directly at its entrance. The tour inside the "Blue Cave" lasts about 5 minutes. Nevertheless, the wait to enter the "Blue Grotto" can be very long: in peak hours in high season, it can last even more than one hour.

   1 h

2. The magestic White Grotto, Grotta Bianca, is just one of the Island of Capri's truly spectacular features that we will get up close to.

   5 min

3. The rock compositions of this coastal area have been worn, over time and the sea, into features such as a Natural Arch.

   5 min

4. You will quickly recognise the Faraglioni rocks from many famous commercials and movies. Today they are often the backdrop to the impressive array of enormous, private yachts waiting for their owners.

   10 min

5. The iridescent green of this beautiful Grotto is the result of the way the light enters.

• 5Perfect tour to Capri!

  Hello, we had an Amazing tour. We met near the beach in Positano at 7:45am. at a bright orange tent Cassiopea Positano. Roberto greeted everyone when we checked in. He was very nice and informative. Our boat arrived at 8:00am and we had 10 people on the tour. Our skipper was Francesco. He was wonderful during the whole trip. We enjoyed the pace of the tour, not too fast, not too slow. We admired beautiful sights along the way & Francesco pointed out specific points of interest. We circled Capri island, saw the Green, White & Blue Grotto. The Blue Grotto was closed. The water was too high & no boats were able to enter. We were fine with not actually going inside the blue grotto.. We enjoyed the stunning rock formations as we entered the Marina in Capri. Please be aware there are two Marinas, we were at the smaller marina. We had three hours to visit Capri. There are small buses & taxis at the top of the road & a quick drive to the Center of Capri. We enjoyed a delicious lunch & did some shopping & walked the colorful streets. Then took a taxi back to the marina, met up with our group on time & Francesco met us with the boat. We then headed to a swimming area & enjoyed a swim in the crystal blue water. We had float noodles to relax in the water too. When everyone was ready, we got back in the boat, Francesco popped a bottle of champagne & we celebrated our day together. We headed back to Positano and arrived by 4:15pm. It was a Perfect Day!!

• 1This "tour" is just an expensive unguided ride around the island

  This "tour" was disappointing. The captain essentially ferried us around the island with zero explanation of the island and when asked questions, would reply briefly or gruffly, I think his English was limited, but then you shouldn't advertise it as an English speaking tour. When getting off the boat in Capri, he became upset because he provided no explanation if we were to gather our shoes ahead of time or whether the bucket of shoes they had collected would be put on the dock for us to pick through. We stopped twice for a swim, once before the port, at some random place off shore with nothing to see and huge waves, no other boats around and then a second time on our way back to Positano in a bit more protected cove. He never offered us drinks of water or soft drinks we had to ask for it even though the cooler was sitting there the whole time, and we ended up finally opening the presence ourselves among the guests and handing out cups ourselves. DO YOUR JOB! better off just taking a ferry to the island yourself then hiring this company and save yourself like 80 euros per person, you can then go for a quick swim yourself once there. The blue Grotto was closed and when one passenger inquired again to confirm he acted sarcastically and rudely.

• 5Great Food Tour!

  We had a wonderful tour with Clara! She was very knowledgeable about the area & kept it fun. We saw an area of Berlin that I’m not sure we would have wandered to if not for this tour. The food & beer were great. We went back to the same places the next day to enjoy more of it!

• 5Great experience! 10/10 recommend!

  We had a fantastic time on the Capri full day boat tour!! Our captain, Francesco, was fun, engaging and knowledgeable. He took us to a number of cool spots on the way to Capri, as well as making a swimming stop. He dropped us in Capri, with 3hrs for lunch and exploring on our own. On the way back, we had the option to go to the Blue Grotto, but our group collectively decided we'd rather have another swimming stop instead. We even stopped to see a group of dolphins pass by which was very neat!

About Positano

Positano tumbles down a steep hillside to the sea on the Amalfi Coast, a vertical village of pastel houses, bougainvillea and boat-filled coves.

The village spills from the mountainside to the Spiaggia Grande, its main beach, in a cascade of pink, peach and yellow houses linked by stairways. The majolica-tiled dome of the Church of Santa Maria Assunta glints above the shore, and narrow lanes are lined with boutiques selling linen, handmade sandals and ceramics.

Top-ranked sights in Positano: Spiaggia Grande, Church of Santa Maria Assunta (Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta), Fornillo Beach.
