Board a small boat from Sorrento to see Capri’s cliffs, Faraglioni rocks and the Blue Grotto in an intimate, full-day outing. Expect swimming stops, a few hours ashore in Capri town, and grotto access that depends on sea conditions.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from Sorrento as gulls wheel over the harbor and the mainland cliffs recede — the boat hums, salt spray cools your face, and Capri’s limestone silhouette grows into view. In a small group of up to eight, the day moves at sea-sense pace: limestone arches, the white cliffs of Villa Malaparte, and the plunging Faraglioni rocks pass within camera range before the Blue Grotto demands attention with its impossible blue.
