Insider tips

  • Book the morning departure (9:30am pickup) to maximize daylight on Capri and avoid afternoon crowds in the caves.
  • Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a lightweight rash guard; the sun reflects intensely off the water and white limestone cliffs.
  • Wear water shoes or sandals that can be easily removed for swimming stops—the boat descends a ladder into shallow coves.
  • If prone to seasickness, take medication before departure; the Sorrento-to-Capri crossing can be choppy depending on conditions.

Good to know

  • Hotel pickup in Positano is included; meet at Parking Mandara (Viale Pasitea) at 9:30am.
  • Bring swimwear, a towel, and waterproof bag; snorkelling gear typically provided or available to rent onboard.
  • The tour involves moderate walking on Capri's uneven coastal paths and boat ladder descents; not suitable for severe mobility restrictions.
  • Sea caves are subject to weather and sea conditions; grotto visits may be shortened or rerouted on rough days.
  • Return transfer to Positano is included; total journey time is 8 hours door-to-door.

Best time to visit
