Description

Make the most of your visit to the Amalfi Coast with a group cruise to Capri Island and Blue Grotto and enjoy the many sites, caves, natural rock formations, and idyllic swimming spots on the way.
Start your day by meeting your tour at the tour office desk on the main beach of Positano. Take a leisurely cruise along the Sorrentina coastline to the island of Capri, several stops around the island to take in the beautiful grotto such as the Capri Blue Grotto, Grotta Bianca (White Grotto), and the Grotta Meravigliosa (Marvelous Grotto) inside which you find the most marvelous stalagmites and stalactites.

Those wishing to go inside the Capri Blue Grotto can purchase an entrance ticket, at an additional cost, and transfer to a small rowing boat. (Please be aware there are often long queues to enter the grotto and this option is subject to weather conditions as well as the possible delay due to the length of the queues.)

Cruise around the island to see the numerous wonders along the way including a Natural Arch, that watches over a small pond, believed to have been formed by the collapse of a cave. Travel past the beautiful and mythical “Faraglioni” and on to Marina Piccola, which used to be a fishing village.

See another famous cave, the Grotta Verde (Green Grotto), which takes its name from the reflective light entering from the other side. Admire the lighthouse at Punta Carena, often seen in postcards and travel articles, as you head along the western coast to the Grotta Azzurra or Blue Grotto.

Move on from the Blue Grotto, and take a short cruise past Marina Grande, the Capri main dock. Dock at Marina Piccola, a less busy marina, where you can disembark to explore Capri at your leisure.

Reach the town by taking one of the island’s little buses (only a 10-minute ride away) or by taxi to the famous “Piazzetta”. Explore the small square, the island's center, and the ideal spot to enjoy a drink and watch the passing parade.

Leave enough time to explore the island’s historical sites (Villa Jovis, Certosa, Augustus Gardens, Villa San Michele of Axel Munthe). Remember to save some time for shopping in the many luxurious boutiques.

Meet back at Marina Piccola at a pre-arranged time to board the boat back to Positano for the remaining coastal tour of the island and across the sea following the Sorrento Coast.

Stop for a swim or two, depending upon weather conditions and if your captain can find suitable spots for swimming, and the boats feature a shower to rinse off.
