“A swift, yet alluring your around the whole island of Capri. The captain was very funny and entertaining, giving personal stories about each of the sights. When we approached the Green Grotto, he was kind enough to get us as close to the grotto as possible. And we were able to touch the rocks. Unfortunately, we traveled during high-tides, so no Blue Grotto was included in our tour. The trip went by within an hour, yet it did not feel rushed. At least it allowed us to have more free time on the island itself.”

Cruise from Marina Grande around Capri aboard the Laser Capri, passing the Faraglioni, Natural Arch, White and Green Grottos, Villa Malaparte, and Tiberius’ Leap. You can try the Blue Grotto separately for €18, but long waits and sea conditions often prevent entry. The boat has a bathroom and English and Italian commentary.

“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”
