The blue grotto was not open on the day of our tour but it didn’t detract from our boat tour experience at all. The day was sunny and the water and stone formations on Capri were beautiful! Our boat captain was really experienced and got very close to the white and green grottoes so that we can taken some gorgeous pictures. Overall a wonderful experience!

A great tour of the island of Capri. The guide spoke amazing English. The captain was incredibly skilled backing that boat into places I would be petrified to back into.

Full tour around whole island points out big spots Blue grotto not always available but doesn’t charge for when it is unavailable

Loved it so much fun! I just wish the water levels were lower so we could’ve gone into the blue grotto!

Beautiful experience, very welcoming and friendly staff! Definitely to be redone!
