Small-group boat tour from Sorrento that cruises Capri’s cliffs, grottoes and Faraglioni with two swimming stops and a limoncello tasting. Blue Grotto access depends on sea conditions and incurs an on-site fee.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step from the shaded parking lot onto a low pier and the sea smells like citrus and iron—Sorrento’s cliffs fall away in tiers of pale stone, and the boat hums low, ready. In a party of a dozen, the skipper casts off and the coastline unfolds: crumbling Roman villas, a waterfall slipping straight into the sea, and then Capri’s white cliffs rising like a sculpted shore.
