Outing Highlights
The Blue Grotto’s electric light
The tour gives you the chance to see the Blue Grotto—the famous sea cave whose interior appears illuminated by an intense blue—accessed from small wooden boats while the private boat waits nearby.
Capri’s landmarks: Faraglioni and the Piazzetta
You’ll circle Capri to view the towering Faraglioni sea stacks and then land at Capri city centre to wander the alleys and the fashionable Piazzetta for shopping and cafés.
Li Galli, Amalfi‑Coast villages and a sunset return
The route cruises along the Amalfi Coast, taking in Li Galli—storied islets reputedly linked to Ulysses’ mermaids—and coastal towns from Praiano and Furore to Amalfi, with a sunset approach back to Positano.
