About this experience
The tour starts from Sorrento area, embark on a captivating journey around the island of Capri, discovering its most iconic landmarks from the sea. The tour includes a visit to the enchanting White Grotto and Green Grotto, where sunlight dances on the water in brilliant hues. Stop at the Blue Grotto (entrance ticket is not included) and waiting at the entrance. Blue Grotto is a sea cave where sunlight, passing through an underwater cavity, illuminates the water with a mesmerizing blue glow.

Continue towards Punta Carena, home to Capri’s picturesque lighthouse, then marvel at the Natural Arch of Matermania, a geological wonder formed over millennia.

great afternoon
the boat trip was lovely. We did not get to go into the blue grotto as it was very crowded and we choose to skip it. The skipper and guide were very friendly and knowledgeable . We did the afternoon trip which had a 2pm pick up and 3pm departure. We had two hours on the island also.

The Best excursion ever
This tour is just wonderful! Exactly what we expected, the organization and level of assistance (Thanks again to Rosa) were absolutely perfect. We appreciated to be within a small group, the boat was very comfortable, and, almost all, both crew members went beyond our needs with a high level of care 😍 An outstanding excursion which deserves the top marks! Such a good way to finish our stay in Sorrento Thanks 🙏

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Shared 4 Hours Afternoon Capri Boat Tour: Blue Grotto & Swim: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sorrento.
How much does Shared 4 Hours Afternoon Capri Boat Tour: Blue Grotto & Swim cost?
+
Prices start at $119 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 Shared 4 Hours Afternoon Capri Boat Tour: Blue Grotto & Swim take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Shared 4 Hours Afternoon Capri Boat Tour: Blue Grotto & Swim worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Shared 4 Hours Afternoon Capri Boat Tour: Blue Grotto & Swim?
+
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 Shared 4 Hours Afternoon Capri Boat Tour: Blue Grotto & Swim suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Shared 4 Hours Afternoon Capri Boat Tour: Blue Grotto & Swim?
+
Around 1 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Shared 4 Hours Afternoon Capri Boat Tour: Blue Grotto & Swim 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.
