Review of the Naples to Capri boat trip, with coastal caves, swimming, free time, drinks, transport details, costs, and practical tips.
“Our boat day to Capri was nothing short of spectacular, and it's all thanks to our amazing local guide, Antonio. He didn’t just take us to the well-known sites—he shared insider knowledge that made our experience truly unique. Antonio gave us the real scoop on which caves were worth exploring and which to skip, helping us avoid the tourist traps and discover the authentic heart of Capri. The boat itself was top-notch, with a group of just 12 of us, which made the tour feel personal. We listened to music and had plenty of time to swim in the warm, teal waters that were as salty as they were refreshing.…”
