Fantastic Day!!
I found a blog post about this company and decided it would be the one we, family of 6 kids ages 14, 12, 10 &9, would use for our shore excursion while in Naples on a cruise. Prior to booking and after booking, their customer services was great-all my questions and emails were responded to very quickly. They were very helpful in determining the best service regarding time of day and length; they even offered to help purchase hydrofoil tickets when I inquired about the potential of them being sold out if I try to buy day off (there was no issue of that). As stated, you can't miss their shop exiting off from the hydrofoil-literally right there! We popped into the shop and had just a short wait until our guide. This allowed us the chance to get the best. sandwiches.ever! at a market a few doors down. (Getting the sandwiches took just a little bit as Dolce Gabana's boat crew were getting their groceries at the same time...Capri Whales were not bothered by the delay!) After, we were escorted to the boat where we meet our guide for the day, a Capri native who absolutely LOVES and respects the authenticity and beauty of Capri! As we were leaving the harbor we discussed our plans for the day. I started by telling him that the Blue Grotto is not that important if there is a line. He was thrilled to hear this as that is what most tourist want, but is really nothing more than a time sucking, tourist trap. Turns out it was closed due to chop&tide-no loss for us since we had Mr. Capri as our guide! He was able to take us to all the other amazing grottos that the big tourist boats can't: white, emerald, mineral, and coral to name a few. Along the way provided cool historical factoids and took us to a quiet cove for swimming-all before the tourist showed up. Upon our return our guide recommended where we should head next on our short day- Anacapri to the chair lift using a taxi and not wait for the bus-so glad we took his advice, but so wished we had more time on beautiful Capri!
This Capri Whales di Wendy boat tour was one of the highlights on our 18 day, 3 country tour of Europe. read more
