What's included in the EUR 195 price?

Hotel pickup and return transfer in Positano, boat passage to Capri, guided boat tour around Capri's caves and sea stacks, 3–5 hours of land-based island exploration, swimming stops with snacks and drinks onboard, and a limoncello tasting before departure.

How long will I actually spend on Capri?

You'll have 3–5 hours on land after the boat tour of the island's sea caves. This allows time to explore Capri village, walk coastal paths, and visit shops or cafes at your own pace.

Are the sea caves guaranteed?

Grotto visits depend on sea conditions and weather. Rough seas or high winds may prevent entry to smaller caves; the tour operator will reroute to accessible alternatives, but entry to all three caves is not guaranteed.

Do I need snorkelling experience?

No. Swimming and snorkelling stops are optional and suitable for beginners. Life jackets and snorkelling gear are available; designated stops in shallow coves provide safe entry via boat ladders.

What time do I finish, and is dinner on the island possible?

The tour returns to Positano around 5:30–6pm. If you'd like to dine on Capri, you could arrange to stay later and take a separate ferry back, but this is not part of the standard tour package.

Is this tour suitable for children or older adults?

Children aged 5+ typically enjoy it; younger kids may find the boat ride and ladder descents challenging. Older adults should be comfortable with moderate walking, uneven surfaces, and boat movement. Mobility assistance is limited; confirm accessibility needs with the operator before booking.

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.
