“This was certainly a highlight for us! It exceeded my expectations. The boat ride is sooo much fun and swimming the ocean was just incredible. Our guide, Luisa, was very knowledgeable and ensured we didn’t miss out on any significant experience. We received so many surprise snacks and drinks and had a good time chatting and laughing with the other people on our boat trip! As for Capri, there’s really not much to it. I would recommend spending most of your time in Anacapri and hopping on the chairlift for an incredible view. The time we were given on the island was a good amount of time.Read more”
