Capri Boat Tour from Sorrento: Snorkeling, Grottoes & Drinks

Super fun day trip to Capri!! I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking to do a day trip from Sorrento to Capri. The boat was a great size with a shaded area at the back and a cushioned area at the front for tanning, catering to everyone. Lots of refreshments were provided. Optimal time was given in Capri to explore and our guide Constanza was very helpful and informative! The swimming stop was nice although there wasn’t much to see while snorkelling, personally we would’ve liked another swim stop later in the day as well. Absolutely lovely day!!!

Family if 4 (16 and 11 year olds) and we all absolutely LOVED our trip to Capri. Our host and skipper were both lovely and spoke perfect English. I just can’t remember their names otherwise I’d mention them specifically. The boar was spacious and we felt really comfortable. On our way back from Capri we had a pod of dolphins following the boat - so special!! Would 100% recommend!

Unfortunately I was very disappointed with this experience. Swimming and snorkeling lasted 5 minutes & the other stops and drive-by’s on the way to Capri were very underwhelming. Really this is just a speedboat ride to Capri and back. The ferry would have been cheaper and I would have had money left to book an actual snorkeling experience or actually go into one of the grottos. Super bummed because it was the excursion I was most excited about on my trip.

Costanza e Giuseppe sono stati eccellenti! Eravamo gli unici due italiani e, nonostante la guida fosse in inglese, Costanza ci ha sempre tradotto tutto. Sono stati entrambi molto disponibili, simpatici e ci hanno dato tantissimi consigli utili. Passavano spesso anche a chiederci se volessimo qualcosa da bere. L’unica cosa che cambierei è lo snorkeling: è stato fatto una sola volta e avrei preferito farlo altre 2-3 volte. Inoltre, considerando l’esperienza complessiva, il prezzo ci è sembrato forse un po’ troppo alto. Per il resto, esperienza davvero consigliata!

Leuke tocht gehad naar Capri. Onderweg vaar je langs verschillende plekken en krijg je uitleg. Er was kort 15min tijd om te snorkelen onder her genot van een glaasje prosecco. Je vaart heerlijk over het water met een muziekje op. Erna heb je 3u op Capri, waarna je in 1x terug vaart naar Sorrento. Voor de prijs hadden we wel iets meer verwacht. De prosecco was na 1 fles voorbij, en het verse fruit was enkel stukjes meloen. Ander drinken was bier, cola of lemon soda of water. Wel sloten we af met 1 shotje limoncello, die was heel lekker! Al met al een fijne dag gehad, maar we hadden er wellicht iets meer van verwacht.

We were hoping for much more snorkeling time but found out the snorkeling is basically looking at fish in the water. The water was beautiful but there was really no "beach time". We had to find our own beach which was a public beach and quite rocky and crowded. We thought they were going to take us to a nice sandy beach but basically you go over to the island on a very nice boat, spend about 20-30 minutes in the water looking at same type of fish and take a little tour until you reach Capri. At that time you get off to either go to the beach or see Capri. The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. We thought there was going to be food but we had a small pastry type of food, one type of beer, prosecco or a soft drink/water. A little disappointed for the price we paid.

The day was good we would have enjoyed more time snorkelling and swimming and less time in Capri. We basically got in the water quick swim then had to get out. Also we all (5 of us) would have like more local information and history on Sorrento and Capri. Overall was okay we knew we had 3 hrs on the island just didn’t know we had such little time swimming.
