Top Capri Day Trips

Only visiting Capri for a day and where we were staying we had to catch a ferry back by 5:45pm. So, looking around we saw the best way to see Capri in a short amount of time was a boat tour and boy did we pick the right one. Our 3 hour private boat tour with Captain Mario was hands down the best decision we made on our entire Italian vacation. From the moment we set off, we were surrounded by breathtaking views—towering cliffs, shimmering turquoise water, and hidden coves that felt like something out of a dream. One of the absolute highlights was swimming straight through the Green Grotto—diving into crystal-clear water and emerging inside a glowing natural cathedral carved by the sea. It was surreal and unforgettable. We opted out of seeing the Blue Grotto because it would’ve cut out too much time from the 3 hours we had. Since doing that, it gave us time for multiple swim stops. Mario made it more memorable by taking photos of us when we were in the water and on the boat. Captain Mario was an exceptional guide, skipper and also has a fantastic singing voice! His deep knowledge of the island’s history and stories brought every cliff, cave, and landmark to life, turning the journey into something far richer than just a boat ride. To top it all off, we enjoyed chilled prosecco and limoncello on deck as the sun sparkled over the waves. We still talk about this experience constantly—it truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. If you’re thinking about booking a private boat tour in Capri, don’t hesitate. It’s unforgettable!

We booked the 3-hour boat tour and it did not disappoint! Our captain took us cruising past gorgeous beach clubs along the coast, and honestly, he made us feel safe and taken care of the entire time, exactly what you want for a day out with your girls. We had plenty of time to swim and soak in the most stunning turquoise water. The boat itself was beautiful, loved all the wood details and clean. We asked for local dinner recs, and he called ahead and booked us a reservation at an great restaurant back in Naples for dinner, the bruchetta, so good. Any who, such a sweet touch. Only small notes for improvement: he had cold beer on board but no wine, and no snacks or cold water which would’ve been nice to have while out on the water. Overall though, an unforgettable day and I’d recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Amalfi/Naples coast. Thank you for such a wonderful time! 🛥️☀️🇮🇹

This tour was great. It got us out to the blue grotto early for the best conditions. The sea became rough later and it closed early so we were very lucky. The chairlift was so neat. The towns themselves have not much to them except for tourist ships and high end stores. Beautiful views at the gardens!
