Details
Take a break from the crowded streets of Capri and enjoy the views of this beautiful island from the sea. With our boat trip around Capri, you can admire the wonderful nature that characterizes the island, with its caves and the unmissable Faraglioni.
For our 1.5 hour tour, we will meet at the port of Marina Grande, where our assistant will provide you with a detailed map of the island and will accompany you to the boat. You will be amazed by the incredible Natural Arch and the limestone caves, such as the White Grotto, the Wonderful Grotto and the Green Grotto. We will be able to admire the Punta Carena lighthouse, the second-highest lighthouse in Italy after that of Genoa, Casa Malaparte and the imposing Faraglioni.
The stop at the Blue Grotto is the highlight of this tour, and our boat will stop for half an hour to allow you to access the cave. After boarding a small row boat, you will enter the cave and be enchanted by the glowing blue water, an effect created by the sunlight entering through an underwater window. After visiting the Blue Grotto, you will return to our boat to make our way back to the port of Marina Grande.

The boat tour is very nice. We did the longer tour to the Natural Arch and the Green Grotto.
It would be important to mention in the description that the Blue Grotto requires a separate trip.
So, the longer tour takes 1.5 hours, and then the Blue Grotto takes an extra 2 hours. This is important for planning your time.

I don't recommend it. Disorganization. Endless waits. Little to no friendliness at the port. They seem to be "fed up" with tourists. The day we tourists are "fed up" with them...

Very nice walk, professional company, friendly guide. Small downside but it's not their fault: the Blue Grotto was closed, although the weather was lovely but the sky was a bit overcast!
