Kayak Tour Around Capri with Capri Hydro | Guided Tour | Boat Tour

Situated off Italy’s southwestern coast, the island of Capri is renowned for its dramatic cliffs, sparkling turquoise waters, and geological wonders. Capri Hydro offers an immersive kayak tour that unlocks the island’s hidden corners—the secluded coves and sea caves unreachable by motorboat. Starting at Marina Piccola beach, paddlers launch near the celebrated Scoglio delle Sirene, a rock formation steeped in myth linked to the sirens from Homer’s Odyssey.

This 1.5-hour kayak adventure is suitable for all skill levels but requires basic swimming ability. Under expert guidance, participants navigate through stunning natural features like the Grotta Verde, famous for vibrant green light reflections illuminating the cave walls, and the Grotta dell’Acqua, an enchanting water cave. The journey also includes gliding through the Arco della Stella tunnel, a narrow sea arch carved over millennia, perfectly framing vistas of the iconic Faraglioni sea stacks rising sharply from the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Capri Hydro’s small group tours emphasize environmental respect, limiting access to protect the delicate marine ecosystem. By traveling in nimble kayaks, visitors witness the island’s coastal splendour up close while reducing noise and water pollution typical of larger boats.

With waterproof GoPro photos included, every paddle stroke captures unforgettable moments of the Mediterranean sun bouncing off the waves, colorful marine life glimpsed below, and the timeworn limestone cliffs overhead. Capri Hydro’s knowledgeable guides enrich the experience by sharing local legends and geological insights, creating a layered adventure that blends physical activity, nature appreciation, and cultural history.

For travelers seeking something beyond the usual boat tours, this kayak journey offers a uniquely intimate connection to Capri’s coastal charm and its underwater world—a genuine highlight in the fabric of southern Italy’s outdoor recreation scene.
