Tours of Capri Island, Italy

The scenic island of Capri, Italy is a jewel on the country's Amalfi Coast. Located approximately 23 miles south of the city of Naples, and only accessible via boat, the island is rich in Roman history with its famous piazzetta, the Roman square and social center of the island, and the world-renowned Blue Grotto, a navigable cavern known for its intense blue water and silvery light. Several tours of Capri are available ranging from half-day or full-day guided excursions to lengthier all-inclusive package tours.
  1. Boat Tour

    • Experience the magical island of Capri in a traditional, locally built Gozzo Sorrentino boat. Gianni's Boat Tours offers half-day and full-day trips to the island with stops along the way for a dip in the crystal blue waters in a secluded inlet, or in the Bay of Marina Piccola. Experience the splendor of the White Grotto, Grotta Bianca, and the awe-inspiring famed Blue Grotto, or Grotto Azzurra. The boat is well equipped with a sundeck, cabin, changing room and Internet access, and supplies drinks and fresh fruit. Private onboard Shiatsu massages are also available upon request from a locally licensed massage therapist.

    Full Day Boat and Walking Tour

    • This full-day boat and walking tour begins with a leisurely in-depth guided tour of the island via a native Gozzo boat, and an extensive visit to both the White and Blue Grottos. Be sure to wear your bathing suit, as the tour pauses for several refreshing swim breaks along the way. Once on the island, the tour takes you to the Gardens of Augustus, where you can experience magnificent gardens and hilltop terraces covered in Mediterranean flora. Next stop is Anacapri and the late 19th century Villa San Michele and Museum, offering panoramic cliff views of the Bay of Naples. You'll then visit a museum showcasing artifacts including the head of the Medusa, the bust of Emperor Tiberius and an Egyptian sphinx. For the energetic, the tour also offers more strenuous hikes up to Villa Jovis, an impressive imperial palace built during the time of Caesar Augustus and Tiberius. Another option, for those not suffering with vertigo, is the fortress walk, a steep rocky path linking the many fortresses on the western side of the island.
