# Capri Boat Tour from Sorrento: Swim, Grottos & Light Lunch

**Guidekin's take:** A small shared boat around Capri with swim stops at the grottoes and the Faraglioni, a Caprese lunch and drinks, then free time on the island before the return. The Blue Grotto is only on its own option with the ticket paid on site, the transfer to the port is one way, and a landing fee is paid in cash at check-in. 4.85 from 1376 reviews at €119 per person.

## Overview

Capri Boat Cruise + 4 Hours Island Free Time & Lunch.
Explore the beautiful island of Capri by land and sea on this tour by boat with an English-speaking captain and a small group of only 12 passengers. Discover the most famous grottoes, the Faraglioni rocks, the natural arch and all the most important attractions along the coast, with stops for swimming and snorkeling in the most clear water of the island. Then stop on the island for some free time (approx. 4 hours), where you will have time to discover the island by land, and go shopping in the boutiques or have lunch in one of the delicious restaurants of the island.
