    Close call!

    The tour was wonderful! The crew was fun and entertaining! We almost didn't get to the tour. We called the day before the tour to confirm the pickup at the hotel. We were not picked up at the hotel as promised. We almost missed the tour. We had to hire a cab to make it to the tour. Very frustrating! After a James Bond like race to the marina we arrived. Once on the boat we had a marvelous time.

    Great tour

    What a great trip to do. What you get for the price is fantastic, multiple stops to swim, and as the blue grotto was close due to high tide we got additional hours in Capri, so when they advertise and whole day, a whole day is what you get! The guide Francesca, and the caption were great throughout the whole tour! A small boat tour is definitely recommended over they ferry, even though it’s a little more expensive, you get what you pay for.

    Must Do Activity

    Even though the Blue Grotto was closed due to weather, my family had a wonderful experience. Francisco was an awesome guide who was very attentive to everyone's needs. I had signed up for the English speaking tour, but half of the group did not speak English, but Francisco talked in both Spanish and English. He also took my family's picture during the boat ride.

    Sorrento to Capri: Small Group Boat Tour with Blue Grotto: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sorrento.

    How much does Sorrento to Capri: Small Group Boat Tour with Blue Grotto cost?

    +

    Prices start at $148 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 Sorrento to Capri: Small Group Boat Tour with Blue Grotto 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 Sorrento to Capri: Small Group Boat Tour with Blue Grotto worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 52 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 Sorrento to Capri: Small Group Boat Tour 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 Sorrento to Capri: Small Group Boat Tour with Blue Grotto 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 Sorrento to Capri: Small Group Boat Tour with Blue Grotto?

    +

    Around 18 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 Sorrento to Capri: Small Group Boat Tour 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.
