Good experience - relaxing/nice swimming
The captain Roberto picked us from Sorrento dock and and called in advance to make sure we knew exactly where to meet and waved from the boat as we walked down taking the guess work out. He showed us some points of interest on the boat ride including some good swimming, made some restaurant suggestions and handled the arrangements for us. It was a good trip, well executed.

Mondo Tours Takes Care of Their Clients
Our family of 8 (with 5 teenagers) were recently visiting Sorento on a once in a lifetime trip for my wife and myself (hopefully my kids make it there again as adults) and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Sorento is beautiful and breathtaking at times. Along the way we booked a tour with Mondo Tours and based on that experience, I would definitely recommend booking your excursions with Mondo Tours. The day before our trip, Mondo tours contacted us for a free uograde that would give our family a semi private tour instead of the larger group tour originally planned. Including our family of 8, we went with 12 people. I was skeptical on the “free” upgrade but Mondo assured me that there was no additional cost as they simply wanted our family to have an amazing experience. With the upgrade he included both the boat ride around the island and grotto visit on the same tour which was not included in our original purchase. His crew of Alicia and captain Francesco were so accommodating and pleasant. They went out of their way to show us several beautiful grottos as we went around the island. They also took us to two places for us to swim offshore of Capri. Also, communication was great in terms of directions on where to meet and interim meeting points. Marisa our guide on Capri was equally pleasant. I loved to hear her love for her island. She was very knowledgeable and provided excellent recommendations for visiting the various parts of Capri. I do wish we had more time in Capri (upper area), but fully understand that there is only so much you can do on a tour like this. It’s more of a suggestion for Mondo Tours as they arrange for these tours and talk to their customers. Even the driver was pleasant and safe… given the narrow roads of Capri. I recommend the sandwhich shop right around the corner near our meeting spot (1 block from lift to the top of Capri). Good portion, tasty and affordable and allows you to keep on schedule while getting a quick bite. At the end of the day, it was the best experience we had over the two week stay in Italy. Anyway, I hope that is helpful for the next family that visits Sorento.

Wonderful Day on the Water!
This was wonderful! It was our most favorite excursion of the vacation. Mauro was on time and pleasant. Damiano was an exceptional boat captain, easy going and gave us a beautiful experience on the water. Gave us plenty of opportunities for swimming and took us to see breathtaking views, which included lunch at a restaurant on the water in Capri.

Definitely worth it!
We absolutely loved our tour with Captain Francesco! Everything was perfect and as promised and he and his crew member were very sweet and knowledgeable. Looking forward to our next trip!

Why this scores 83
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Capri First to Blue Grotto Semi Private Boat Tour from Sorrento: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sorrento.
How much does Capri First to Blue Grotto Semi Private Boat Tour from Sorrento cost?
+
Prices start at $140 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sorrento usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Capri First to Blue Grotto Semi Private Boat Tour from Sorrento take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Sorrento is not rushed.
Is Capri First to Blue Grotto Semi Private Boat Tour from Sorrento worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 81 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sorrento, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Capri First to Blue Grotto Semi Private Boat Tour from Sorrento?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Capri First to Blue Grotto Semi Private Boat Tour from Sorrento suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Capri First to Blue Grotto Semi Private Boat Tour from Sorrento?
+
Around 28 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 Sorrento 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 Sorrento and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Capri First to Blue Grotto Semi Private Boat Tour from Sorrento start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sorrento within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sorrento?
+
On Outty we rank every Sorrento experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pizza School with Wine and Limoncello Tasting in a Local Farm, Private Amalfi Coast Day Tour from Sorrento or Naples, Sorrento Farm and Food Experience including Olive Oil, Limoncello, Wine tasting. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sorrento?
+
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 Sorrento?
+
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?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
