About this tour
Explore two showstopping spots on the Amalfi Coast in a single day from Sorrento. You'll ferry to Capri for a visit to the Blue Grotto—a luminous sea cave accessible by boat—then head to Positano, where pastel-painted buildings cascade down cliffs toward turquoise water. A private guide leads the way, handling all ferry tickets and island transport over eight hours. Your driver collects you from Marina Piccola and returns you to Sorrento at day's end.
Highlights
- Azure waters and limestone formations inside Blue Grotto
- Capri's dramatic coastline viewed from the sea
- Steep stairs and narrow lanes of Positano village
- Fast ferry crossing between Capri and Positano
- Shared boat tour around Capri if grotto closes
- Private guide throughout the day
What to expect
You'll meet your guide at Sorrento's Marina Piccola and board a fast ferry to Capri. Weather permitting, you'll be transported to the Blue Grotto—either by private car or shuttle depending on group size—and enter the cave by small boat to see the ethereal blue light reflecting off the water. If conditions close the grotto, a shared boat circles the island's dramatic cliffs instead. After returning to Capri's main port, you'll ferry to Positano and wander its steep streets lined with shops and cafés, soaking in the village's clifftop atmosphere. Late afternoon, a van driver takes you back to Sorrento.
Good to know
Ferry times mean an early start and late finish. The Blue Grotto can close suddenly due to rough seas or high tide—boat tours substitute if needed. Bring sun protection and wear sturdy shoes for Positano's many steps. Food and drink are separate costs; cafés and restaurants dot both islands but can be pricey.
