“This is the perfect activity to see the best of Capri and get a sense of the island. Everything was very smooth with the booking and arrival. The boat tour company was excellent - friendly and informative but didn’t talk the whole time. We sat on the top and got tons of amazing photos. (Sit on the right side for the best views!) We did the tour our first afternoon, which helped us identify other must-do activities. (Don’t miss walking to the Arco Naturale — it’s incredible by land and we had the place to ourselves on an October Sunday morning.) The blue grotto was closed for our entire trip,…”

“We were 2 couples spending 10 days in Sorrento. This was a great day with a fabulous boat trip to Capri with our great captain, Antonio at the helm. We got there quite early before the crowds. We took the individual cable cars up to Anacapri and was quite relaxed. There were some little artisan shops to look around and some bars to have a snack and a drink. The only downside to this visit to Capri was that we didn’t have time to visit Capri town as well. We then took the boat to the Blue Grotto sea cave. It was busy and we waited for around 90 minutes…”

From Sorrento: Positano and Amalfi Day Cruise

14.Positano and Amalfi Day Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,500 reviews · 8 hours · from $62

Spend eight hours on a shared boat from Sorrento to Positano and Amalfi, with about two hours in Positano and two and a half in Amalfi. You explore without a guide, so plan your own walks, cathedral visit, meal, and shopping. Paper tickets and early port arrival matter.

“A great way to take in both Amalfi and Positano in one day! Easy pick up of tickets, then comfortable ferry between all three locations. Just enough time in each place to get a taste for it but perhaps not enough time for a sit down meal (this didn't bother us personally). Make sure to arrive at dock / port 10-15 mins before departure time as boarding was very busy at Amalfi. Definitely recommend though!”
