The Journey
Blue Grotto
Immerse yourself in the ethereal beauty of the Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra), a sea cave renowned for its intensely blue waters. Sunlight enters through an underwater cavity, creating a magical, illuminated effect. Be prepared for a short wait and a small boat ride to enter this natural wonder. The entrance fee is approximately €18 per person, plus a tip for the boatmen. Sea conditions may affect accessibility, so check in advance.
Baia del Rio & Grotta del Cuore
Discover the romantic Grotta del Cuore (Heart Grotto) nestled in Baia del Rio. This charming cave, shaped like a heart, offers a unique photo opportunity and a tranquil moment amidst the stunning coastal scenery. While the lighthouse nearby is now a museum accessible by land, the Grotta del Cuore adds a touch of whimsy to your boat tour.
Green Grotto
Venture into the Green Grotto, a stunning bay where sunlight filters through the water, painting the rocks in vibrant green hues. Swim in the crystal-clear waters and marvel at the natural beauty of this secluded spot. Nearby, explore smaller grottoes like the Sail Grotto, Grotta dei Santi, the 3 Sisters Grotto, the Champagne Grotto, and the Occhialoni, each offering its own unique charm and perspective.
Marina Piccola & Faraglioni Rocks
Arrive at Marina Piccola, a picturesque bay famous for its clear waters, inviting beach restaurants, and luxurious villas. From here, witness the iconic Faraglioni rocks, towering rock formations that rise majestically from the sea. Capture stunning photos and create unforgettable memories against this breathtaking backdrop. The skipper will make a stop specifically for photos.
White Grotto & Villa Malaparte
Explore the White Grotto, a captivating cave adorned with white calcareous incrustations and stalactites, creating a surreal and beautiful spectacle. A stalactite resembling the Madonna adds a touch of reverence to this natural wonder. From the sea, admire Villa Curzio Malaparte, an iconic modernist villa perched dramatically on a cliff. Also visible is the Natural Arch, accessible by foot from Capri town along Via Tragara, and the Coral Cave, once teeming with coral growth.
Tiberius's Jump & Gennarino lo Scugnizzo Statue
As you sail back to Marina Grande, pass by Tiberius's Jump, a dramatic precipice below Villa Jovis. Legend has it that Emperor Tiberius threw enemies and slaves from this cliff. Continuing along the coast, admire the statue of Gennarino lo Scugnizzo, a bronze boy waving at passing boats from his rocky perch, adding a touch of local charm to your tour.
