Exploring Capri’s Best Seaside Highlights

The itinerary includes a series of stops designed to showcase Capri’s most photogenic and fascinating natural features. Each stop is brief but impactful, giving ample time to admire, swim, or take photos.

Blue Grotto: A Must-See Natural Wonder

The Blue Grotto is one of Capri’s most celebrated attractions, a magical cavern famous for its vibrant blue waters. The tour stops in front of it, though entering the grotto is optional and subject to charge (€18 per person). Sea conditions and opening hours influence whether visitors can venture inside, especially during peak season, so flexibility is key. Even from the outside, the sight of the entrance against the sea backdrop is striking.

Red and Green Grottoes: Unique Marine Caves

The Grotta Rossa, visible only by boat, flaunts corals that dye the rocks in shades of red, offering an enchanting view. It’s a 10-minute stop with free admission. Adjacent is the Grotta Verde, where swimmers can climb cliffs or snorkel in the emerald waters. This liquid emerald cave is particularly inviting for those wanting a quick dip or photo opportunity.

The Iconic Faraglioni: Capri’s Signature Rock Formations

No trip to Capri is complete without viewing the Faraglioni, the three towering rock formations that rise majestically from the Mediterranean. The guide leads you close enough for stunning photos and admiration of these natural sculptures. Their prominence and beauty make them a highlight of any boat tour around the island.

The Natural Arch and White Grotto

The Natural Arch, a Paleolithic rock formation, is a standout feature on the east coast of Capri. Passing through the arch offers a sense of connection with the island’s ancient landscape. Nearby, the White Grotto enchants visitors with its stalactites and stalagmites, and boats either enter or moor just outside, adding a scenic element to the tour.

Comfort and Convenience on the Water

The spacious padded deck on the boat provides ample room for sunbathing and relaxing. The tour includes soft drinks, bottled water, and use of snorkeling equipment, making it easy to stay refreshed and explore the waters. Life jackets are available for all participants, ensuring safety during swimming or cliff-climbing stops.

Alcoholic beverages are available for purchase, but no lunch is included, giving couples the flexibility to bring snacks or plan their own meals around the tour.
