"The trip was amazing! We were able to get a transfer from Naples, where we were staying, to the port in Ercolano where our boat tour sailed from. Our tour guides Rosella and Anastasia were superb! They were so informative about the history of the location and were really helpful about how to get around the Island of Capri. Capri was beautiful and we filled the four hours we had on the island. I recommend this boat tour and will be doing it again if I ever return to Naples and Capri."

Capri tours range from $44–$189 depending on type. Boat tours start at $72, full-day tours from Naples at $88–$180, Blue Grotto tours at $124+, and luxury yacht experiences at $600+. Most tours include ferry, boat cruise, lunch, and guide. Free cancellation available up to 24 hours before departure.
Group tours include round-trip ferry, boat cruise around the island, English-speaking guide or captain, swimming stops, lunch at a waterside restaurant, and hotel pickup/drop-off. Blue Grotto cave entry costs extra (~$15). Snorkeling gear not always included — check the tour description.
Start with a full-day boat tour from Naples (8–10 hours): Blue Grotto entry, tour of Anacapri town, swimming at Marina Piccola, lunch, and plenty of time to explore. This gives you the complete Capri experience. ($88–$140 per person.)
Yes, most full-day tours include both. You visit the Blue Grotto by boat, then take a small ferry or minibus to Anacapri town to explore shops, try limoncello, and visit hilltop viewpoints. Typically 1.5–2 hours in Anacapri.
Yes, most Capri tours offer full refund if cancelled up to 24 hours before departure. Cancellations within 24 hours may incur a fee (usually 10–50%). Check the specific tour's cancellation policy when booking.
Swimsuit, towel, sunscreen (SPF 50+), sunglasses, comfortable shoes, light layers (boats can be breezy), waterproof bag, €50–100 cash (for tips, meals, shops), and a camera. Leave heavy luggage at your hotel.
The ferry is generally smooth April–October (mild motion). Winter trips can be rougher. About 20% of passengers experience mild motion sickness on rough days. Take Dramamine before boarding. Ginger candy and fresh air also help.
Yes, tours accommodate families. Children under 4 usually ride free, ages 4–12 get discounts. Life jackets are provided on boats. Children 6+ typically enjoy the full experience. Discuss any concerns (swimming ability, motion sickness) with the operator before booking.
Rough seas can close the cave entrance (especially November–March). Tours with 'weather guarantee' offer rescheduling or full refunds if the grotto closes. On non-guaranteed tours, your boat still visits other Capri highlights if the grotto is inaccessible.
On full-day tours: 3–5 hours for independent exploration. On shorter boat-only tours: 1–2 hours. Enough time for lunch, shopping in Capri Town, and a gelato break. Guided portions of the tour are included.
