Capri Island from Naples by Hydrofoil
A full-day journey to Italy's most celebrated island, from Anacapri's hilltop village to Capri's iconic piazzetta and gardens.
This Capri day trip from Naples takes you across the Bay of Naples by high-speed hydrofoil to experience the island's two distinct worlds: the quiet hilltop charm of Anacapri and the glamorous allure of Capri town. A guided itinerary keeps the day focused while generous free time lets you explore at your own pace.
The morning begins in Anacapri, reached by minibus from the port. A local guide leads you through the village before you have time to wander independently, visit Villa San Michele, or ride the chairlift to the summit of Monte Solaro for panoramic views across the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The afternoon shifts to Capri town, where the guide walks you through the narrow lanes to the famous Piazzetta and on to the Augustus' Gardens. From the garden terraces, you look out over the Faraglioni rock formations and the winding descent of Via Krupp, two of the most photographed views in the Mediterranean.
After structured touring ends, free time allows for shopping along Capri's boutique streets, a leisurely coffee at the Piazzetta, or an optional boat tour around the island. The hydrofoil then returns you to Naples in the late afternoon.

Itinerary
Meet your guide at the Port of Naples and board the hydrofoil for the crossing to Capri. The journey across the bay takes under an hour and offers open views of Vesuvius and the coastline.
On arrival at Capri port, the group boards a minibus for the ascent to Anacapri. The winding road up the island's hillside is itself a scenic introduction to Capri's terrain.
A one-hour guided walk covers Anacapri's main sights, followed by an hour of free time. Options include visiting Villa San Michele, riding the Monte Solaro chairlift, or simply strolling the quieter streets of the upper village.
After an optional lunch break, the minibus descends to Capri town. The guide leads the group through the Piazzetta and on to the Augustus' Gardens, with views of the Faraglioni and Via Krupp along the way.
An hour of unstructured time gives you space to browse the boutiques, sit at a cafe, or arrange an optional boat tour around the island's perimeter and sea caves.
The minibus returns the group to Capri port for the hydrofoil back to Naples, arriving in the early evening. The guide accompanies the group throughout the return journey.
