From Sorrento: Capri and Anacapri Tour with Faraglioni Cruise
Discover the island's iconic coastline, hilltop villages, and legendary rock formations in a single unforgettable day.
A Capri island tour from Sorrento offers one of the most complete ways to experience the Gulf of Naples, combining a scenic boat cruise along dramatic cliffs with guided walks through both Capri and Anacapri.
Departing from the port of Sorrento, you travel along the Sorrentine Peninsula before reaching the main marina of Capri, where your day on the island begins in earnest. The boat circuit around Capri brings you face to face with natural arches, sea caves, and the famous Faraglioni rocks rising from the blue water.
On land, the tour moves between two very different atmospheres: the polished piazzas and designer boutiques of Capri town and the quieter, flower-lined streets of Anacapri higher up the hillside. Each stop is chosen to give a layered understanding of the island's character, from ancient Roman heritage to its enduring role as a destination for travelers from around the world.
Tour Highlights
Cruise past the Faraglioni rocks and through the Arch of Love by boat, experiencing Capri's coastline from the sea.
Explore the Green Grotto and a famous stalactite cave, where light plays across the water in remarkable colors.
Stroll through the Piazzetta, Capri's iconic main square, known as the living room of the world.
Visit Anacapri's historic center, where silent squares and narrow streets are framed by geraniums and bougainvillea.
See the Natural Arch, a prehistoric rock formation visible from both the sea and a scenic hiking path.
Discover Villa San Michele, built by Axel Munthe on the foundations of an ancient Roman villa, preserving important archaeological finds.
Observe the Punta Carena lighthouse, the second most powerful in Italy and one of the oldest on the southern coast.
Itinerary
Join your guide at the port of Sorrento for a briefing before boarding. The crossing to Capri follows the coastline of the Sorrentine Peninsula, offering views of the cliffs and coves that define this stretch of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The boat docks at the main port of Capri, the gateway to the island. From here, the group orients before beginning the coastal cruise and the land-based portion of the tour.
A dedicated circuit around the island takes in the Natural Arch, the stalactite and stalagmite grotto, the Green Grotto on the southern side, Marina Piccola with its three signature rocks (Saetta, Scopolo, and Stella), and the Faraglioni. The boat passes through the Arch of Love, a highlight of the sea route.
A guided walk through Capri town covers the Piazzetta, the social heart of the island, and Via Camerelle, lined with high-fashion boutiques. A panoramic terrace above Marina Piccola provides an unobstructed view of the Faraglioni and a vantage point over Via Krupp.
The tour continues to Anacapri, the higher and more residential part of the island, where the atmosphere is notably quieter. Villa San Michele, built by the Swedish physician Axel Munthe, preserves Roman archaeological finds within its gardens and rooms.
The chairlift from Piazza Vittoria in Anacapri reaches the summit of Monte Solaro, the highest point on the island. The panorama from the top takes in the entire Gulf of Naples and, on clear days, stretches to the mainland mountains.
