Morning light glances off the Tyrrhenian as the boat slips away from Spiaggia Grande, and the island of Capri grows from silhouette to sunlit cliffs. The sea seems to pull you forward—an easy dare—past the Faraglioni stacks and into caverns carved by centuries of waves.

Reserve your spot on the Small Group Day Trip to Capri from Positano or Praiano today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Arrive early at the pier
Plan to be at Spiaggia Grande or your Praiano pick-up at least 15 minutes before departure to complete check-in and boarding.
Pack sun and sea essentials
Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat and a refillable water bottle—the combination of reflection off limestone and wind makes sun exposure intense.
Blue Grotto timing
The Blue Grotto entry depends on sea state and operator queues; treat it as optional and budget time for waiting or skipping if seas are rough.
Footwear for cliffs and cobbles
Wear shoes with grip for steep steps and cobbled lanes in Capri—flip-flops can be hazardous on descents to viewpoints.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin from intense coastal sun and reduces impact on marine life.
