CAPRI, ITALY BOAT TOUR-Featuring The Blue Grotto!
The island of Capri, Italy is a short 30 minute ferry ride from Sorrento. It's one of the most beautiful and famous islands in the world due to it's stunning topography-cliffs that fall into turquoise waters, its many grottoes (caves), its marinas filled with yachts, and of course, the famous Blue Grotto. It's also a great place to people watch and take in the spectacular views. We took a boat ride around the island and my favorites were the Green Grotto (7:56) and the Blue Grotto (9:14)!

Blue Grotto, Capri, Italy - Relaxing boat tour. Grotto Azzurra
The Blue Grotto (Grotto Azzura in Italian) is Capri’s jewel in the crown. This legendary sea cave was once the Roman Emperor Tiberius’ private swimming pool. Bathed in an ethereal blue light it is your must see place to visit on the island.
Thinking of visiting the Grotto on a visit to Capri to see the natural phenomenon for yourself or just fancy watching a tranquil, relaxing boat ride, whichever I hope you enjoy the film.
How to get there: The Grotto is located on the north west coast of the island. If you don’t have a car you can either take a boat from Marina Grande or travel there by bus.
A boat tour from Marina Grande will cost you about 26 euros, comprising the trip to the cave, the rowing boat that takes you into the cave and your entrance fee. Allow about an hour and a half. At peak times there can be quite a line to enter the cave. There are various boat tours including a tour around the island.
Alternatively you can travel there by bus. Buses run from the port Marina Grande to Capri or Anacapri. The bus from Marina Grande to Anacapri takes about 20 minutes and 15 minutes from there to the Grotto. Or why not take the funicular up to Capri and catch the bus from there. The ticket office is to the right as you get off the ferry. A day pass “unico Capri” costs 6.90 euros and covers all your island travel except the Monte Solaro cable car. Take the bus to Anacapri, change then take the bus to the Blue Grotto, you can’t miss it as it is the last stop. Walk down the stairs and wait for your rowing boat. If you travel by bus you wont have to hang around waiting for the rest of your party to go into the grotto.
Once you have enjoyed the grotto take some refreshments at the kiosk up above the grotto before taking the bus back to Capri or Anacapri to carry on your sightseeing.
Tips:
Best light is apparently noon until 2pm. Queues reduce after 3pm but the sea can get rougher and sometimes is too rough to enter. Go early to avoid the lines.
You will need to climb into a row boat. Each rowing boat only holds 3 passengers and the oarsman. You buy your entrance ticket at a floating ticket office first, no credit cards accepted so have enough cash. Be prepared to enter the cave you will need to lie down flat in the boat, the boatman will then pull the boat into the narrow opening of the cave with a chain. It’s a tight squeeze.
The rowing boat costs 13 euros each, which includes the 4 euro entrance fee and don’t forget to tip your guide, be prepared for 5 – 10 euros, it will make him happy.
Money saving tip:
Entrance to the Grotto is free on the first Sunday of every month.
The History Bit:
The cave was discovered by the Romans and used by Emperor Tiberius’ as a private bathing pool and temple. A number of statues have been found in the cave and some are still believed to be lying at the bottom of the cave. The cave became abandoned as locals feared it was inhabited by spirits until it was rediscovered in 1826 and popularised by the writer August Lopisch and painter Ernst Fries.
The Science Bit:
Why does the water inside the cave appear to be bathed in an ethereal blue light?
There are actually two entrance holes into the cave, one directly below the other. The small top hole is the boat entrance to the cave. The lower hole is below the line of the water allows light into the cave which lights up the bottom of the cave, but filters out all but the blue light giving the water it’s brilliant emerald blue colour.

We take a row boat inside the Blue Grotto on the Island of Capri on the Amalfi Coast Italy. The view inside was incredible. You have to pay a 14 Euro entrance fee to enter the grotto, but it's well worth it.
Capri Boat Tour around whole Capri Island, Italy
If you're wondering what a private boat tour around Capri island is like, here's a video showing just that!
In May 2019, we got a 2 hour Capri boat tour on a gozzo boat with a company called Gianni's Boat tours which we found highly recommended on Tripadvisor & on Google reviews. (Not gifted, Not sponsored). Our tour guide was Juan Paolo (if I remember his name correctly), and you can hear some highlights of his commentary and explanations about the island included in this video.
Sights you will see on this Capri Boat Tour:
- View of whole of Capri island, as seen from Monte San Costanzo, on mainland Italy (in Massa Lubrense on the Sorrentine peninsula). You can see our beautiful hike / walk on Monte San Costanzo on my video here:
- Marina Grande, Capri (on the central North of the island)
- Sailing across from the Capri side to the Anacapri side of the island
- Our tour inside the famous Blue Grotto / Grotta Azzurra, Italia, found on the North West of the island, and which we entered by switching to a small rowboat: You can see a more focused video of our tour in the Blue Grotto here:
- Punta Carena Lighthouse on the South West tip of the island
- The Green Grotto / Grotta Verde / The Green Cave, on the south side of the island
- Punta di Mulo on the south side of the island, with a little religious saint marking there.
- Marina Piccola on the South side of the island, where Juan Paolo pointed out where Fiona Swarovski's holiday / vacation beach house is.
- Fishermen's cover / Fisherman's cove
- i Faraglioni - the famous coastal geological structure - the natural arch on the East side of the island.
- We skipped the White Grotto / Grotta Bianca because the water was getting a little choppy and I was getting a little seasick! so we cut the tour a little bit short.
- Views of Massa Lubrense & the Amalfi Coast as seen from Capri.

PERFECT DAY TRIP TO CAPRI! (Best way to see Capri and the Blue Grotto)
Ciao from CAPRI!
During our visit to Naples, we planned a day trip to Capri, Italy. And we are so glad we did!
This was one of our favorite travel moments of our year-long round the world trip!
We rented a vespa and drove around the entire island, exploring both Capri and Anacapri. Exploring the island by scooter is THE BEST way to travel Capri, in our opinion.
Cruising on winding streets overlooking the blue sea with wind blowing through your hair is so exhilarating!
We also went inside the famous Blue Grotto, ate lunch in Anacapri, and went on an incredible boat tour of Capri.
In this video, we share our incredible experience and give out tips to spend the perfect day in Capri. Consider this your Capri travel guide for an unforgettable experience!
We highly recommend you visit Capri if you’re planning a trip to Italy, especially if you’ll be near Naples or the Amalfi Coast.
Enjoy the video and we’ll see you in our next one as we keep GOING PLACES!

Here's the Capri video narrative:
Capri is a small Italian island in the Bay of Naples, about 5 kilometers from the mainland.
We visited on a day trip in April, arriving via a fast jet ferry from Sorrento and avoiding the peak summer season, when the island can be overrun with tourists.
Capri is also easy to reach by ferry from Naples.
We arrived at Capri’s main port, Marina Grande, which is on the north coast.
From here you can take boat trips, for example to the Blue Grotto, which is a flooded sea-cave, or you can take a boat to the south coast to see the Faraglioni Rocks.
However, with limited time we decided to make for Capri town, then on to to Anacapri and Monte Solaro.
To get from Marina Grande up to Capri town we took the funicular railway which connects the harbour to the Piazzetta, the town’s main square.
Capri’s two main centres, Capri town and its uphill rival Anacapri, are almost entirely given over to tourism and prices can be high.
Capri is a world-famous beauty spot and it’s also a summer favourite of holidaying VIPs.
The Piazzetta is full of fashionable bars and it’s well worth stopping for an espresso. You might even see one of those VIPs!
The square is dominated by a free-standing clock tower.
Note the tiled clock face.
Capri is well known for its maiolica tiles.
Here they can be seen forming a map of the island.
We boarded a crowded bus to Anacapri and explored the island’s second town.
Walking along Via Giuseppe Orlandi, we saw the Casa Rossa, a brightly coloured house built in the late 1800s by an American colonel. It’s now a museum.
Continuing along this road, we reached Piazza San Nicola and the Church of San Michele, built in Italian baroque style at the turn of the 18th century.
Built on an octagonal Greek cross plan, the church is famous for its maiolica floor decoration depicting the expulsion of Adam and Eve. It was completed in 1761.
For an impressive view of the entire floor, you can climb the spiral staircase to the organ loft and look out over the church from above.
More maiolica tiles can be seen nearby, decorating the benches in Piazza Armando Diaz.
The Monte Solaro chairlift is also in Anacapri, and it reaches the top of the 589 meters high mountain within minutes.
From the summit there are picturesque views over the island and across the Bay of Naples and the Gulf of Salerno.
There’s also a great view of the Faraglioni Rocks from here.
These three spurs of rock rise from the sea within meters of the coast and are one of the favourite destinations for boat tours of the island’s coast.
We hiked down from the summit back to Anacapri. The path is quite uneven in places but the walk is well worth it for the changing panoramas.
On the way down, you can see a series of small bronze plaques. Each represents a stop on the Via Crucis, or Way of the Cross.
We headed back to Marina Grande and caught the last ferry back to Sorrento, which left late afternoon.
You can see plenty of this beautiful island in a few hours, but don’t expect to fit everything in.
Next time, maybe we’ll get to the Blue Grotto!
