Once in Capri, I did a boat tour with Whale Tours which cost 100 euros for two hours, but it is a completely private tour, they will try to get you to some hidden spots or go out when the big tour boats aren't there.

please note
*Note: the amount of tourists that come in can be overwhelming. The best way to see the island is to take a taxi to the Marina Piccola and getting a boat with "Capri Whales" Stefano was in charge and Alessio was our tour guide. It's a lot more private and fun. It's definitely the way to go if the weather is bad too, we got to swim in the Green Grotta.​
