Capri Island Tour by High-Speed Train from Rome with Boat Tour Included
Journey from the Eternal City to the jewel of the Tyrrhenian Sea in a single unforgettable day
This Capri day trip from Rome by high-speed train combines the thrill of rail travel across the Italian countryside with a small-group boat exploration of one of the Mediterranean's most celebrated islands. In a single day, you will travel from Rome to Naples by high-speed rail, cross the sea by hydrofoil, and discover Capri's coastline aboard a traditional Sorrento skiff with just eleven fellow travelers.
From the moment the train departs Rome, the pace is set for an action-packed yet unhurried adventure. A professional captain meets you at Naples and guides the group to the port, where a hydrofoil carries everyone across the bay to Capri. The island reveals itself gradually, its limestone cliffs rising from clear turquoise water as the boat approaches.
On the water, the itinerary follows the full perimeter of the island, passing natural arches, sea grottos in multiple colors, the iconic Faraglioni rock stacks, the Lighthouse of Punta Carena, and the distinctive silhouette of Villa Curzio Malaparte. Swimming and snorkeling stops are built into the route, and a tasting of local limoncello rounds off the sea portion of the day.
After the boat tour, four hours of free time ashore allow independent exploration of Capri town and Anacapri. Audio guides and a curated map are provided so each traveler can follow a route suited to their own pace and interests.

During the boat tour, snacks and drinks are served on board. The experience concludes with a tasting of Capri's celebrated limoncello before the group returns to the port.
Four hours of independent exploration allow you to discover Capri town, the Gardens of Augustus, or Anacapri using the provided audio guide and map. This segment runs at each traveler's own pace.
After the land exploration, the group reboards the hydrofoil to Naples and then the high-speed train back to Rome, concluding a full day on the island.
