Amalfi Coast Day Tour
Capri and Anacapri Island Tour by Ferry Boat from Amalfi and Maiori
A full-day guided journey from the Amalfi Coast to the legendary island of Capri by sea.
This Capri island tour from Amalfi offers a rare combination of sea exploration, expert guided walking, and free time to discover two of Italy's most celebrated destinations in a single day.
The experience begins at either Maiori pier or the ticket office in Amalfi, where guests board a direct ferry to Capri. The crossing provides unobstructed views of the Amalfi Coast cliffs, Punta Campanella, and the surrounding peninsula as seen from open water.
On arrival at Marina Grande, a local expert guide leads a boat tour around the entire island before the group transitions to a guided walking tour of both Anacapri and Capri town. The day is structured to balance curated sightseeing with personal exploration time.
Capri rewards visitors with contrasts: the rugged coastal scenery of the Faraglioni rocks and sea grottos viewed from the water, followed by the polished elegance of the Piazzetta and the quiet charm of Anacapri's hilltop streets. The tour is rated moderate in difficulty, making it accessible for most travellers with average fitness.

This tour operates along the Sorrentine Peninsula and the Gulf of Naples, two of the most visited coastal corridors in southern Italy.

Capri is administratively divided into two communes: Capri town and Anacapri, both explored during this tour. Key geographic landmarks covered include Punta Campanella (the westernmost tip of the Sorrentine Peninsula), the Faraglioni sea stacks, the Natural Arch, the Green Grotto, and Monte Solaro — the highest point on the island at 589 metres.
