Not as expected
They Left 15 minutes late, we never got to see the Blue Grotto so the whole tour lasted maybe and hour and 20 minutes. Only one very small taste of limoncello.

Terrible company
The tour departed before our arrival and then wanted to charge us 50% more to book again. This is totally unacceptable and very very poor experience

Scary Boat Ride
Would not recommend, boat is small only holds 12 people. The swells of the waves made the boat drop and 3 people sitting on the front lost their balance and whacked the sides of the boat (guide not fluent in English, did not understand the word "ice" for a sore elbow). Meanwhile 2 others began to get sea sick and beg to be left off the boat. After letting 4 off at the back side of the island near a beach, we proceeded on the tour (just after another boat operator and our "captain" had a heated exchange in Italian--re: where we let the people off). We read "bring your suits" in the sign up, so we did. No place to change into a bathing suit on the boat, no visible life jackets or explanation of where they might be located. While the 5 others decided to swim, they were given pool noodles. We asked if their were any more, guide showed us a noodle that was in 2 parts (so not enough noodles had the other 4 stayed on the boat!). Did give us Limoncello and a bag of chips/crackers and drove past Grottoes. And guide made sure to ask for a TIP at the end of the ride! My tip is don't book with HP Travel for this tour

Afternoon on the boat.
The boat was nice with snacks and our driver was informative. We left 10 minutes late and got in 10 minutes early, with 10 minutes of swimming. It all felt a bit rushed and short.

Private Capri sail
We had a fabulous 3 hours sailing around Capri on our own private tour. Our Captain was great. He hardly spoke any English but we managed to get the message across and had fun. We had plenty of swim time. The boat was clean and spacious. We had a limoncello shot, a bag of chips and plenty of water. Unfortunately for us the Blue Grotto was closed. We did have a bit of time hanging around at the beginning with the HP travel representative which caused a late departure but this time was made up at the end. It was not an issue for us as we had nothing else booked for the day.

How much does Capri Boat Tour: Grottoes, Swim & Sip Limoncello in a Small Group cost?

How long does Capri Boat Tour: Grottoes, Swim & Sip Limoncello in a Small Group take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Capri is not rushed.
Is Capri Boat Tour: Grottoes, Swim & Sip Limoncello in a Small Group worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 219 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Capri, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Capri Boat Tour: Grottoes, Swim & Sip Limoncello in a Small Group?
+
Around 77 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Capri can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Capri and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

When is the best time to visit Capri?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Capri?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
