Capri & Blue Grotto from Sorrento: Fast Ferry & ChairliftYou take a fast ferry from Sorrento to Capri, enter the Blue Grotto by rowboat while lying on your back, ride a chairlift to Monte Solaro for island-wide views, and spend time in Piazzetta and Marina Grande. Your guide handles the route and timing, the ferry tickets and grotto entry are included, and the shuttle bus moves you between stops—you just show up at the port and follow along.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see Capri's main sights in one day without renting a car or figuring out ferries and tickets yourself—the guide, the ferry, and the shuttle bus mean you just arrive at the port and the day unfolds.
Full-Day Capri Tour from Sorrento: Blue Grotto & AnacapriA full-day guided tour from Sorrento to Capri aboard a fast ferry, with a local English-speaking guide and small group. The itinerary includes the Blue Grotto (or a boat ride around the island if the cave is closed), a chairlift ascent of Monte Solaro in Anacapri, free time for lunch, and walks through Piazzetta di Capri and the Gardens of Augustus before returning to Sorrento. Ferry, shuttle buses, guide and Blue Grotto entry are included; the Mount Solaro chairlift and garden entrance are optional add-ons.Is it for me?The eight-hour day and moderate walking suit someone with a full afternoon free and the energy for ferries, buses and strolling through two towns. Skip this if you prefer a shorter outing or need to stay close to Sorrento—a half-day boat trip or a land-based tour of the Amalfi Coast would fit better.
Amalfi Coast: Fiat 500 Private Photo Tour with Positano & PraianoYou’ll squeeze into a vintage Fiat 500 with a local photographer and weave through Amalfi Coast villages like Positano and Praiano. Expect candid photos (and maybe some awkward poses), salty air, stories from your guide, plus digital memories sent straight to your phone after. If you’re lucky with timing or route, you’ll catch Furore Fjord too — but mostly you’ll just feel like you’ve stepped into someone else’s sunlit daydream.
Sorrento Food Tour: 10+ Tastings from Gnocchi to LimoncelloA 3-hour food tour through Sorrento with 10+ tastings, a local guide, and small groups of 10 that move at a relaxed pace. You sit down at a family dairy to taste fresh cheeses and cured meats with wine; eat homemade gnocchi in a cozy osteria; visit a historic limoncello producer; sample lemon biscuits and candies; and discover a hidden artisan workshop tucked away in the old town. Most stops are seated, and the tour ends with a Sorrentine pastry and Neapolitan espresso in Piazza Lauro. Vegetarian and gluten-free alternatives are available at select stops.Is it for me?Book the small group option if you want to move at a relaxed pace and hear stories from other travelers; choose the private tour if your group has specific dietary needs or you'd rather not share the stops with strangers. Either way, the 3-hour route and seated stops mean you're tasting, not rushing—the pace is built around savoring, not sightseeing.
Paddle Boarding Tour: Bagni Regina Giovanna Roman RuinsA small-group paddle boarding tour from Marina Grande in Sorrento to Bagni della Regina Giovanna, where you paddle to a Roman villa dating back to 41–54 AD, swim in a natural heart-shaped pool with emerald water, and explore the ruins on foot.

Capri Private Boat Tour: Faraglioni, Blue Grotto & SwimA full-day private boat tour of Capri departing from Sorrento with an English-speaking captain, snorkeling equipment and lunch by the water included. The boat is yours alone for the day, so the pace and stops bend to what you want—swim at the White Grotto and Green Grotto, cruise past the Faraglioni Rocks and the Lighthouse, and spend four hours on land at Marina Piccola to eat, shop or walk. The Blue Grotto requires a separate rowboat fee; the captain will explain each stop as you go.Is it for me?Choose your departure point at checkout—Sorrento, Positano or Capri itself—so the boat meets you where you are. If you're staying on the Amalfi Coast and want a full day on the water without renting a boat or joining a group, the private captain and fixed four-hour stop at Marina Piccola mean you can swim, eat and explore on your own schedule while someone else navigates the cliffs and grottos.

Private Boat Tour to Capri from Sorrento: Blue Grotto & cavesA private boat tour from Sorrento to Capri with a skipper who takes direction from you: sail the coastline to see the Blue Grotto, green grotto, white grotto and Faraglioni rocks with the tunnel of love, swim and snorkel in spots only a private boat can reach, and spend three hours on the island exploring Anacapri, the piazza or waterfront restaurants. The boat holds up to a small group, and you decide the itinerary—caves, swimming, dining or all three.Is it for me?Choose the Capri route if you want to see the sea caves and have time to explore the island on foot; pick the Amalfi Coast option if you prefer staying on the boat to admire the dramatic coastline and villages from the water. Because the boat is private, you set the pace—linger in a cove, skip a stop, or spend the afternoon anchored in one spot while you swim and snorkel.
Amalfi Coast: Path of the Gods Hike & Sorrento PickupYou’ll start early in Sorrento, meet your guide and group, then ride out together for a guided Path of the Gods hike along Amalfi’s cliffs.

A professional English-speaking skipper provides local tips, and the boat carries life jackets, snorkeling masks, towels, drinks and snacks on board.Is it for me?Book the 22-foot option if your group is smaller and you want a more intimate pace; the 28-foot boat suits five or six people and gives everyone room to move.
