You step off the hydrofoil at Marina Grande and the island opens like a bright, rocky page: fishermen folding nets, limestone cliffs flashing white, and the sea pushing tourists toward a narrow grotto entrance. The day begins on water — local sailors guide shared boats along Capri’s coast, skimming past the Faraglioni rocks and the small mouths of karst caves until the Blue Grotto’s doorway appears, glowing from within.

History
Capri was a favored Roman imperial retreat—Tiberius built villas on uplifted headlands, leaving ruins and terraces that shape today’s island paths.
Conservation
High visitor numbers concentrate pressure on fragile coastal habitats and marine caves; stick to marked paths, avoid littering, and follow local guidance when visiting the Blue Grotto.
Reserve your spot on the Capri Island and Blue Grotto from Sorrento or Positano or Amalfi or Salerno today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Bring cash for grotto entry
Blue Grotto entrance and the small rowboat ticket are purchased at the floating office in cash (usually ~15 EUR); lines form quickly in high season.
Prepare for boat motion
If you’re prone to seasickness, take prevention before boarding; coastal swell can make the shared boat approach and grotto entry bumpy.
Arrive early for hydrofoil
Hydrofoil departures require check-in at least 30 minutes before; late arrivals may forfeit tickets and cause extra costs.
Comfortable shoes for cobbles
Capri’s streets are steep and cobbled — closed shoes with good grip help on stairs, Via Krupp, and viewpoints like the Gardens of Augustus.
Sunscreen & sunglasses
Bright sun off the water makes high-SPF sunscreen and UV protection essential during boat transfers and walks.
