Capri: Island Sightseeing Tour with Blue Grotto Stop

7.Island Sightseeing Tour with Blue Grotto Stop

★★★★★★★★★★3.7 · 473 reviews · 1 hour · from $28

Cruise from Marina Grande around Capri aboard Laser Capri, with an English or Italian-speaking host, onboard bathroom, and close views of the Faraglioni, Natural Arch, White Grotto, Green Grotto, Punta Carena Lighthouse, and Villa Malaparte. The Blue Grotto stop is optional, costs €18 extra, and may involve a long wait.

“Being a super busy time it was actually quite good. Just be aware that you are not guaranteed to see the blue grotto because it’s super busy. They do give an option for another €14-18 to go back and line up if the wait is over 60 minutes and you can’t get in. The cruise itself was fantastic. Staff members at the ticket collection and on the gate are pretty rude. Not sure if it was because It was busy or what. Didn’t like that though”

“Loved our day trip to Capri! The included lunch was plentiful. Unfortunately the wait of 2.5 hours for the Blue Grotto was too long for us. We didn’t know until afterward that we could use our ticket and use the stair entrance which may have been a lot shorter wait. Overall Definitely recommend”
