Board a traditional wooden vessel to circle the rugged coastline of Capri. You will observe the natural rock formations and enter hidden grottoes accessible only by water.

What to expect

Most island excursions to Capri begin at a designated harbor where guests board a boat for a scenic cruise across the gulf. The journey typically includes sailing past dramatic limestone cliffs, hidden sea caves, and famous natural landmarks along the island's perimeter. Depending on sea conditions, captains often navigate close to smaller grottoes that large ferries cannot reach.

After the boat tour, visitors usually get free time to step ashore and explore the island independently. You might wander through the narrow streets of Capri town, browse local shops, or take in viewpoints overlooking the sea.

The day generally concludes with a relaxing boat ride back to the mainland departure point. The atmosphere on board is usually relaxed, offering a classic Mediterranean coastal experience.
