Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

The Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra) is Capri’s most famous sea cave, known for its glowing electric-blue water created by sunlight passing through an underwater opening. Entry to the grotto is by small rowboat and depends on sea conditions and waiting times, so access is not always guaranteed. When conditions allow, it’s a truly magical experience.

Stop 2 Pass by

The White Grotto (Grotta Bianca) is one of Capri’s natural sea caves, known for its dazzling white rock formations and dramatic stalactites. Sunlight reflects off the limestone walls, creating a bright, magical glow. Unlike other grottos, it is typically admired from the boat as part of the island tour.

Stop 3 Pass by

The Faraglioni are Capri’s most iconic rock formations—three towering sea stacks rising majestically from the turquoise waters. Each one has a name and a story, and passing through the arch of the central stack, Faraglione di Mezzo, is said to bring good luck. A must-see highlight of any boat tour around the island.

Punta Carena Lighthouse, located on the southwestern tip of Capri, is one of the most picturesque lighthouses in Italy. Set atop dramatic cliffs, it has guided sailors since 1867 and offers incredible views of the open sea. Seen from the water, it’s a striking landmark and a perfect spot to catch the golden glow of sunset.

Stop 5 Pass by

Marina Piccola is a charming bay on the southern coast of Capri, known for its crystal-clear waters and stunning views of the Faraglioni rocks. It's a perfect spot to swim, relax, and enjoy the beauty of the island from the sea.
L’isola di Capri ospita anche il secondo faro d’Italia per importanza, grazie alla sua luminosità con una portata massima di 25 miglia, fu costruito nella seconda metà dell 800.

Stop 6

Li Galli is a small group of private islands off the Amalfi Coast, famous for their crystal-clear waters and mythological charm. Legend says they were once home to the sirens who tried to lure Ulysses. Today, they’re an exclusive and scenic spot, best admired by boat as you cruise the coastline.
