Cross the Bay of Naples and spend a day on Capri — from the luminous Blue Grotto (weather permitting) to chairlift views at Mount Solaro and an espresso in La Piazzetta. This small-group tour blends boat time with short walks and island shuttles.

The day starts at Marina Piccola in Sorrento as the ferry slips away, the Bay of Naples opening like a page. The water dares you forward; cliffs of limestone and green terraces appear and Capri rises — stacked houses, steep paths and the dark mouth of the Blue Grotto. On calm days the grotto's interior glows an impossible aquamarine; when the sea is restless, the guide pivots the itinerary and a circumnavigation by boat reveals Faraglioni stacks and hidden coves.

Blue Grotto is weather-dependent
The cave opens only in calm seas; operators provide a boat-only alternative when it's closed, so arrive with flexible expectations.
Wear grippy shoes
Capri's streets are steep and cobbled; non-slip footwear makes short walks and stair sections far more comfortable.
Carry local cash
Small cafés and chairlift kiosks may prefer cash for quick purchases and tips.
Hydrate and protect from sun
Long stretches outdoors and reflective sea increase sun exposure — bring sunscreen and a refillable water bottle.
Comfortable walking shoes
Grippy soles handle cobbles, steps and short uphill sections in Anacapri and Capri town.
Light windproof layer
Sea breeze and changing sun call for a lightweight jacket or shell.
