Capri, Anacapri and Blue Grotto Day Tour from Naples

About this tour

A 7–8 hour guided day trip from Naples to Capri and Anacapri, combining boat crossings, the famous Blue Grotto, and walking exploration of both settlements. You'll travel by hydrofoil from the mainland, descend into the grotto's luminescent cave system, then explore Capri's compact town centre and climb to the quieter hill village of Anacapri. A local guide leads the way, handling logistics and sharing island history throughout.

Highlights

• Hydrofoil crossing from Naples coast to Capri
• Blue Grotto boat entry and ethereal blue-lit chamber
• Funicular descent from Capri town to port
• Winding streets and local spots in Anacapri
• Guided walking tour of Capri's main settlement

What to expect

Start early with a hydrofoil crossing from Naples—roughly 40 minutes of open water. Once on Capri, use the funicular to drop down to the port, then board a smaller boat for the Blue Grotto. Entry involves navigating wet stone steps and ducking through a low cave entrance; the payoff is an otherworldly chamber flooded with refracted blue light. Afterwards, explore Capri town on foot with your guide, then minibus up to Anacapri for quieter streets and local atmosphere. Expect a mix of boat time, walking, and standing—pace is moderate but there's free time built in. If sea conditions close the grotto, you'll get a scenic boat loop instead.
