About this experience
How could you possibly visit Sorrento or the South of Italy, without touring the two most exclusive charming gems located in the Naples’ Bay, Capri and Positano. Our tour perfectly links two of the most attractive sites around Naples.
The meeting point with our guide is at Marina Piccola, the main port of Sorrento, where you will take a ferry to reach the Capri Island. Ride by minibus on the famous Mamma Mia road or by shared boat to stop by the wonderful The Blue Grotto, a real stunning natural cavern. In the event of rough sea waters, enjoy the perfect alternative of exploring the remaining natural sites along the island.
The second part of the tour follows as you take a jetfoil to the town of Positano. Here, you can wander the narrow streets lined with unique stores and, authentically Italian alleyways with stunning natural characteristics that must be seen to understand such beauty.
This tour concludes with a drive back to the Sorrento port.

Detailed itinerary
1
The small but charming Capri is visited by hundreds of thousands of tourists from celebrities, avid explorers to luxury travellers and neighbour Italians every year.

Stop 2
Translated to the Blue Grotto, this is a natural cavern structure with an awe-inspiring beauty. With a small opening, this site is accessed by boat only if weather permits - when sea waters are calm. Once inside, prepare to be amazed by the magical iridescent blue light reflecting on the walls from the sun rays entering the cave’s opening.
3
Positano is another stunning town of the Amalfi Coast. Full of steep streets, built upon a cliffside there are gorgeous views of the Bay of Naples at nearly every angle. Key characteristics are the sea of yellow and the scent of citrus from the local lemon trees as well as the endless staircase leading to Spiaggia Grande, the main beach of Positano, perfect for sunbathing, swimming in the crystal clear waters or strolling along the boutiques with your gelato (a must do!).
