CAPRI, ITALY BOAT TOUR-Featuring The Blue Grotto!
The island of Capri, Italy is a short 30 minute ferry ride from Sorrento. It's one of the most beautiful and famous islands in the world due to it's stunning topography-cliffs that fall into turquoise waters, its many grottoes (caves), its marinas filled with yachts, and of course, the famous Blue Grotto. It's also a great place to people watch and take in the spectacular views. We took a boat ride around the island and my favorites were the Green Grotto (7:56) and the Blue Grotto (9:14)!

Capri Tour - What to see on a 1 day trip
Capri - What we saw on our day trip from Sorrento! Stunning views & more.
My video of what to see in Sorrento is here:
My video of what to see in Positano is here (3m10s):
You can also see my Pompeii tour video here (9m06s):
And you can see my Herculaneum tour video here (7m56s):
Here's the Capri video narrative:
Capri is a small Italian island in the Bay of Naples, about 5 kilometers from the mainland.
We visited on a day trip in April, arriving via a fast jet ferry from Sorrento and avoiding the peak summer season, when the island can be overrun with tourists.
Capri is also easy to reach by ferry from Naples.
We arrived at Capri’s main port, Marina Grande, which is on the north coast.
From here you can take boat trips, for example to the Blue Grotto, which is a flooded sea-cave, or you can take a boat to the south coast to see the Faraglioni Rocks.
However, with limited time we decided to make for Capri town, then on to to Anacapri and Monte Solaro.
To get from Marina Grande up to Capri town we took the funicular railway which connects the harbour to the Piazzetta, the town’s main square.
Capri’s two main centres, Capri town and its uphill rival Anacapri, are almost entirely given over to tourism and prices can be high.
Capri is a world-famous beauty spot and it’s also a summer favourite of holidaying VIPs.
The Piazzetta is full of fashionable bars and it’s well worth stopping for an espresso. You might even see one of those VIPs!
The square is dominated by a free-standing clock tower.
Note the tiled clock face.
Capri is well known for its maiolica tiles.
Here they can be seen forming a map of the island.
We boarded a crowded bus to Anacapri and explored the island’s second town.
Walking along Via Giuseppe Orlandi, we saw the Casa Rossa, a brightly coloured house built in the late 1800s by an American colonel. It’s now a museum.
Continuing along this road, we reached Piazza San Nicola and the Church of San Michele, built in Italian baroque style at the turn of the 18th century.
Built on an octagonal Greek cross plan, the church is famous for its maiolica floor decoration depicting the expulsion of Adam and Eve. It was completed in 1761.
For an impressive view of the entire floor, you can climb the spiral staircase to the organ loft and look out over the church from above.
More maiolica tiles can be seen nearby, decorating the benches in Piazza Armando Diaz.
The Monte Solaro chairlift is also in Anacapri, and it reaches the top of the 589 meters high mountain within minutes.
From the summit there are picturesque views over the island and across the Bay of Naples and the Gulf of Salerno.
There’s also a great view of the Faraglioni Rocks from here.
These three spurs of rock rise from the sea within meters of the coast and are one of the favourite destinations for boat tours of the island’s coast.
We hiked down from the summit back to Anacapri. The path is quite uneven in places but the walk is well worth it for the changing panoramas.
On the way down, you can see a series of small bronze plaques. Each represents a stop on the Via Crucis, or Way of the Cross.
We headed back to Marina Grande and caught the last ferry back to Sorrento, which left late afternoon.
You can see plenty of this beautiful island in a few hours, but don’t expect to fit everything in.
Next time, maybe we’ll get to the Blue Grotto!

Blue Grotto, Capri, Italy - Relaxing boat tour. Grotto Azzurra
The Blue Grotto (Grotto Azzura in Italian) is Capri’s jewel in the crown. This legendary sea cave was once the Roman Emperor Tiberius’ private swimming pool. Bathed in an ethereal blue light it is your must see place to visit on the island.
Thinking of visiting the Grotto on a visit to Capri to see the natural phenomenon for yourself or just fancy watching a tranquil, relaxing boat ride, whichever I hope you enjoy the film.
How to get there: The Grotto is located on the north west coast of the island. If you don’t have a car you can either take a boat from Marina Grande or travel there by bus.
A boat tour from Marina Grande will cost you about 26 euros, comprising the trip to the cave, the rowing boat that takes you into the cave and your entrance fee. Allow about an hour and a half. At peak times there can be quite a line to enter the cave. There are various boat tours including a tour around the island.
Alternatively you can travel there by bus. Buses run from the port Marina Grande to Capri or Anacapri. The bus from Marina Grande to Anacapri takes about 20 minutes and 15 minutes from there to the Grotto. Or why not take the funicular up to Capri and catch the bus from there. The ticket office is to the right as you get off the ferry. A day pass “unico Capri” costs 6.90 euros and covers all your island travel except the Monte Solaro cable car. Take the bus to Anacapri, change then take the bus to the Blue Grotto, you can’t miss it as it is the last stop. Walk down the stairs and wait for your rowing boat. If you travel by bus you wont have to hang around waiting for the rest of your party to go into the grotto.
Once you have enjoyed the grotto take some refreshments at the kiosk up above the grotto before taking the bus back to Capri or Anacapri to carry on your sightseeing.
Tips:
Best light is apparently noon until 2pm. Queues reduce after 3pm but the sea can get rougher and sometimes is too rough to enter. Go early to avoid the lines.
You will need to climb into a row boat. Each rowing boat only holds 3 passengers and the oarsman. You buy your entrance ticket at a floating ticket office first, no credit cards accepted so have enough cash. Be prepared to enter the cave you will need to lie down flat in the boat, the boatman will then pull the boat into the narrow opening of the cave with a chain. It’s a tight squeeze.
The rowing boat costs 13 euros each, which includes the 4 euro entrance fee and don’t forget to tip your guide, be prepared for 5 – 10 euros, it will make him happy.
Money saving tip:
Entrance to the Grotto is free on the first Sunday of every month.
The History Bit:
The cave was discovered by the Romans and used by Emperor Tiberius’ as a private bathing pool and temple. A number of statues have been found in the cave and some are still believed to be lying at the bottom of the cave. The cave became abandoned as locals feared it was inhabited by spirits until it was rediscovered in 1826 and popularised by the writer August Lopisch and painter Ernst Fries.
The Science Bit:
Why does the water inside the cave appear to be bathed in an ethereal blue light?
There are actually two entrance holes into the cave, one directly below the other. The small top hole is the boat entrance to the cave. The lower hole is below the line of the water allows light into the cave which lights up the bottom of the cave, but filters out all but the blue light giving the water it’s brilliant emerald blue colour.

Here is my Capri, Blue Grotto & Positano vlog from my recent trip to the Amalfi Coast in Italy! Thumbs up for more travel vlogs
Blue Grotto, Capri, Italy | Grotta Azzurra, Italia
Here's our experience visiting the Blue Grotto in Capri, Italy (Gotta Azzurra, Italia) in May 2019.
We arrived by sea via a private boat tour (using Gianni's Boat Tours) that started in Marina Grande harbor and went around the whole of Capri island, but let us stop by the famous Blue Cave / Blaue Grotte Bleue too. It is possible to visit from land too.
Grotta Azzurra is one of the most famous tourist attractions on Capri, often listed on Top Things to do in Capri and Most recommended places to visit in Capri and in the Amalfi Coast area lists.
People who may enjoy this video are people looking for videos about the Blue Grotto, or in other languages this is called:

Capri Day Trip from Rome with Anacapri, Blue Grotto, Limoncello Tasting and Perfume Factory Visit
Enjoy an unforgettable holiday in Capri - one of Southern Italy's most beautiful islands. Your VIP day trip to the island of Capri includes expert locals to guide you around Capri, Anacapri and the Blue Grotto and introduce you to the wonders of limoncello and Italian perfume plus private touring by coach and a high speed boat ride to and from Naples. Small groups of only 25 people or fewer provides a more intimate experience.
While Rome is filled with so many things to do and things to see, one should not miss taking a break from the city and discovering the wonderful Italian towns and islands around the region. Just a day trip away are Florence, Pompeii and Naples, to name a few. And just another boat trip away from Naples Harbour is the island of Capri.
Travel like a VIP by private coach from Rome to Naples Harbor then board a high-speed boat to the beautiful island of Capri. Explore the enchanting towns of Capri and Anacapri with a local guide who can expertly take you past long lines and crowds. Skip the public transportation as you go around the island by private coach.
Enjoy unique experiences as your expert guide shows you the treasures of the island - from the lesser known authentic areas that only locals would know about to quaint artisan shops to the famous Limoncello liquor (made from Femminello lemons) and the Carthusia perfume.
Try Italy’s most famous liquor with a Limoncello tasting and visit the oldest perfumery in Capri. Take in the experience of being in one of the most beautiful places in the world as you sip your limoncello and inhale the most wonderful aromas in the Perfumery of Carthusia.
Make the most out of your visit by taking the optional tour to the famous Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra). As the most famous site in Capri (and not always accessible due to tide), a boat trip to the Blue Grotto is an experience not to be missed.
Enter the sea cave located on the coast of the island and be at awe at the cavern illuminated in blue. The brilliant sunlight entering the cave reflects in the clear waters and bathes the Grotto in glowing blue light. Marvel at this natural wonder and hear stories and interesting details from your guide.
End this wonderful day trip experience with a high-speed boat trip back to Naples and a relaxing drive up the coast back to Rome. This VIP day trip will certainly be one of the best parts of your vacation.

Inside the Blue Grotto on the Amalfi Coast (Island of Capri) Italy
We take a row boat inside the Blue Grotto on the Island of Capri on the Amalfi Coast Italy. The view inside was incredible. You have to pay a 14 Euro entrance fee to enter the grotto, but it's well worth it.
Our trip to Capri & Blue Grotto in Italy
On September 5, 2017 our cruise ship was in the port of Naples. I used Rick Steves guide to do Capri on our own. We took a hydrofoil from Naples Beverello port to Capri. (A little girl got sea sick right next to me). We picked up a round trip transfer from Marina Grande to Blue Grotto. You transfer into a small dingy once you are there. We had lunch at Caffe Augusto and enjoyed their free wifi!
The pizza in Italy video clip was inspired by Toby & Kim's video: I watched their video before our trip.
We took the Funicular up to the center of Capri and had a delicious gelati, shopped and enjoyed the incredible views.
We decided last minute to go to Pompeii. I used Rick Steves book and we took a hydrofoil to Sorrento. Walked through Sorrento to the train station to Pompeii. I wish we had more time in Sorrento. Next trip!
