About this activity
An 8-hour immersive Capri experience combining a scenic coastal boat cruise from Sorrento with a full island tour and free time to explore. You'll navigate past Roman ruins, dramatic grottoes, and iconic rock formations, swim in Mediterranean waters, and enjoy authentic limoncello tasting on the return journey.
Start your day with a convenient pick-up from the “Achille Lauro” parking in Sorrento and a transfer to the port of Piano di Sorrento. From there, set sail for the enchanting island of Capri, enjoying a scenic cruise along the breathtaking Sorrento Coast. Along the way, marvel at the ancient fishing village of Marina Grande, the ruins of a Roman villa near Bagni della Regina Giovanna, and a stunning natural waterfall cascading from the cliffs.
Upon arrival in Capri, embark on a captivating boat tour around the island. Admire the famous Blue Grotto, White Grotto, and Green Grotto, as well as the Natural Arch, Villa Curzio Malaparte, the iconic Faraglioni rocks, and the picturesque Punta Carena Lighthouse.
During the cruise, take a refreshing swim at select stops and relax on board with complimentary snacks and drinks. Afterwards, enjoy 3 to 5 hours on land to explore Capri at your own pace—wander through its charming streets, browse elegant boutiques, or simply soak up the island’s unique atmosphere.
As your day comes to a close, depart from Capri and savor a tasting of authentic limoncello on board during your scenic return to Sorrento. Finally, arrive at the port of Piano di Sorrento.
Please note: The drop-off will be at the port of Sorrento, not the original pick-up location.

Insider tips
- ★Arrive early at Achille Lauro parking for a relaxed start; the morning light is best for grotto photography
- ★Wear reef-safe sunscreen and bring a light rash guard—the Mediterranean sun reflects intensely off the water
- ★Use your land time to hike to Villa Jovis or catch the sunset from Piazza Umberto I rather than shopping; crowds thin after 4 PM
- ★Request a spot near the bow during the grotto tour for unobstructed views of the Blue Grotto's famous blue light

- •Sea conditions may affect grotto access in winter; confirm with supplier 24 hours before if travelling November–March

- •The boat can accommodate limited mobility; contact supplier in advance if accessibility assistance is needed
