What you'll see and do
White Grotta
During the boat tour of the island you will see the wonderful White Cave which extends for 30 meters and takes its name from the color of its rocks: an extraordinary pure white. Inside, the waters form two lakes communicating through an artificial canal carved into the rock. In Roman times it seems to have been used as a shelter for boats, but if you look carefully you will notice that the white walls show some signs of the passage of man: in the seventeenth century the population took refuge in this cave to hide from pirate attacks! The time is calculated also considering the arrival time.

Grotta Verde
During the boat tour you will see the wonderful Green Cave which owes its name to the color of its waters. The light penetrates through the entrance, reflecting on the seabed and painting the sea waves an emerald green. This inlet was used by Turkish corsairs as an outpost to ambush passing boats and plunder them. There are two openings: the western one which is 4 meters below sea level and the eastern one located on the surface. The opening of the Green Grotto in Capri is 7 meters high. You can swim in if the sea is calm! Inside, the walls are irregular and covered in sedimentary rocks, the dolomites, the oldest on Capri. The green of the water can vary in intensity based on the weather conditions and the time of day. The time is calculated also considering the arrival time.

Blue Grotto
During the boat tour of the island you will see the wonderful Blue Grotto. You can get into a rowing boat, lie down and let the sailor drag you under an entrance arch only one meter high. At first you only see darkness, then suddenly everything will be colored with blue and transparent reflections. The visit is guaranteed unless closed due to adverse weather conditions. The time is calculated also considering the arrival time.
60 minutes here · Admission not included
Punta Carena Lighthouse
During the tour of the island you will be able to admire the famous Punta Carena lighthouse, the second largest in Italy in terms of lighting power, as well as being one of the oldest: it was first lit in 1867! The time is calculated also considering the arrival time

Capri with Blue Grotto
Great day, friendly skipper. Efficient service at the Blue Grotto. Snacks and drinks included.

Not worth the money, take Grotto out of the title.
Misleading advertising blue grotto, before setting off we were told it’s a 2/3 hr wait and just felt they didn’t want to take us. Was no way near as good as the Amalfi Positano trip. Just get the ferry over if you want to visit Capri. Has anyone actually visited the grotto on this trip?

Fantastic experience from start to finish
Fantastic experience from start to finish. Loved every minute exploring different views from the boat explaining what it was.. also blue grotto was a great experience didn't have to wait very long. Boat driver and tour lady both brilliant.. Highly recommend!

Amazing day on the water ! One of the best days ever!!
The owner Mario was very accommodating for us and met us with a smile to greet us on our journey. There were plenty of surprises on the way including birthday cake and prosecco for my birthday! The captain Simone was cautious, careful, delightful and a very skillful captain (15 years experience) ! He took us around Capri, under a waterfall which was an amazing treat , and negotiated easier access to blue grotto for us! When we couldn’t get into the main port of Capri (busy) he made an alternative arrangement for us go lunch which was amazing. All from the beautiful new 35 foot boat ! An experience we will always remember , one of our best days ever!!! Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou.

Shared Tour of Capri with Blue Grotto: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sorrento.
How much does Shared Tour of Capri with Blue Grotto cost?
+
Prices start at $182 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 Tour of Capri with Blue Grotto take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Tour of Capri with Blue Grotto worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 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 Tour of Capri with Blue Grotto?
+
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 Tour of Capri with Blue Grotto suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Shared Tour of Capri with Blue Grotto?
+
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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Shared Tour of Capri with Blue Grotto 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 Sorrento Farm and Food Experience including Olive Oil, Limoncello, Wine tasting, Pizza School with Wine and Limoncello Tasting in a Local Farm, Authentic Farm Tour with Pizza, Cheese, Wine & Limoncello 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.
