I was told that you may have a long wait for the Blue Grotto but if you go on the first time slot you don't. You have to pay extra when you get there €19 per person - but it is beautiful! And the James Bond type boat to the Grotto was great. The tour was enjoyable and allowed you to see Capri from a different view. Very enjoyable.

Visiting the Blue Grotto was an absolute dream! The intense, glowing blue light inside the cave is completely surreal and looks even better in person than in photos. Navigating the tiny entrance on the wooden rowboat added such a fun touch of adventure to the whole experience. Truly an unforgettable highlight!

A perfect tour, with the guide’s explanations delivered in a courteous manner, which made up for the disappointment of not being able to visit the Blue Grotto due to the sea conditions.

Very nice boat trip around Capri. Excellent and funny guide! We saw everything except Blue Grotto. It was not worth waiting 2 hours for Blue Grotto in the gaming sun.

Great experience! We headed to the office to grab tickets and didn't have to wait. They were very helpful and efficient. Then we walked down to the dock and immediately boarded a boat to the blue grotto. Came back and immediately boarded another boat for the trip around the island. We came in July and it was very busy but didn't have to wait in any lines. Would highly recommend.

We had visited Capri several years ago, but on that occasion we weren't able to arrange a tour of the Blue Grotto. This time we were able to, and it's an experience I highly recommend. Booking through Headout was quick and easy. The instructions for getting to the meeting point were clear and straightforward. The service from the staff and the boat captain, the trip itself, and finally boarding the small boats that take you into the grotto all went smoothly and on schedule (our average wait time was 1 hour, which goes by quickly). The cave is beautiful, and no photograph can capture what you see in that moment.

The route gives you a fast, well-rounded look at Capri’s shoreline, with skipper commentary that adds local stories and island context.

On board, you get live commentary in English and Italian plus a map of Capri, useful if you want to match each sight to the coast.

Along the way, you pass the Faraglioni, Green and White grottoes, Punta Carena Lighthouse, and the Baths of Tiberius.

Enter the Blue Grotto, the purported private swimming pool of Emperor Tiberius. Listen to the legends associated with this tiny cave from your boatman, who may also regale you with traditional shanties.
