About this tour
This 6-hour excursion departs from Naples or Sorrento and combines a private sailing experience with Capri's highlights. You'll board a traditional gozzo boat to explore sea caves—the White, Green, and (weather permitting) Blue Grotto—and the dramatic Faraglioni Rocks, with time to swim in transparent waters. After returning to shore, ascend via cable car to La Piazzetta, Capri's bustling central square, then visit the leafy Caesar Augustus Gardens before heading back to your departure port.
Highlights
- Sail past Faraglioni Rocks on a traditional wooden gozzo
- Swim in the Tyrrhenian Sea from the boat
- Enter White and Green Grottos; Blue Grotto if conditions allow
- Cable car ride to Capri town centre
- Stroll La Piazzetta's shops, cafés, and social scene
- Wander Caesar Augustus Gardens overlooking the cliffs
What to expect
You'll meet your guide at either Naples or Sorrento port and take a fast ferry across to Capri. Once there, transfer to your gozzo for roughly three hours of sailing. Expect a mix of scenic cruising and anchored swims; bring a towel and sun protection. The boat moves slowly past each grotto so you can see the rock formations and light effects clearly. Back on land, the cable car ascends steeply but quickly to La Piazzetta—it gets busy with day-trippers, so move through purposefully if you prefer quieter moments. The gardens offer respite and panoramic views. Plan to eat before the tour or grab something in town; meals aren't included.
Good to know
Moderate fitness needed for cable car and walking on uneven terrain. Bring swimwear, sun cream, and a light layer for sea breezes. The Blue Grotto entrance depends on sea conditions—no refund if inaccessible. Specify Naples or Sorrento departure at booking. Stroller-friendly for young children on most sections, though the boat has limited space.
