# Capri Small-Group Boat Tour from Sorrento with Island Free Time

**Guidekin's take:** A shared boat capped at twelve from Sorrento around Capri with swim and snorkel stops, appetizers and drinks on board, then about three hours of free time on the island. Port taxes and a fuel surcharge are paid on arrival on top of €70 per person, and the Blue Grotto is an optional extra that depends on the sea. 4.84 from 215 reviews.

## Overview

Capri Island is one of the world's most iconic destinations, famous for its crystal-clear waters, sea caves, and breathtaking coastline. The best way to experience it is by boat. Depart from Marina Piccola, Sorrento, and cruise around Capri, discovering its highlights and hidden caves, with stops for swimming and snorkeling. Enjoy around 3 hours of free time to explore Capri or Anacapri at your own pace. With a maximum of 12 guests, this shared tour offers a relaxed, semi-private atmosphere.
