Full-Day Island Excursion from Sorrento
Capri and Anacapri Select Day Tour
A guided journey through two iconic villages, historic gardens, and the legendary Faraglioni coast
This Capri and Anacapri full-day tour takes you by fast hydrofoil from Sorrento across the Bay of Naples to one of Italy's most celebrated islands, where a knowledgeable guide leads you through layered history, Mediterranean landscapes, and vibrant town squares.
From the moment you arrive at Marina Grande, the island's bustling harbor, a minibus carries you up to the elevated village of Anacapri. Here, the pace is slower, the streets narrower, and the views across the Gulf of Naples stretch seemingly without end.
The tour balances structured guided visits with moments of personal exploration, allowing you to absorb both the cultural depth and the relaxed rhythm that define island life on Capri.
