About this tour
Sprint across the Tyrrhenian Sea to Capri for an eight-hour island circuit that hits the essentials without the filler. Your guide meets you at Naples port, whisks you across by fast ferry, then drives the dramatic clifftop road in an open-top car or minibus. Weather dependent, you'll boat into the Blue Grotto's luminous chamber, ride a chairlift to Monte Solaro's summit, explore Piazzetta's boutique-lined square, and finish at Augustus Gardens where Faraglioni's sea stacks frame the horizon.

What to expect
You'll board a fast ferry at Naples' main port and arrive at Capri within the hour. Once ashore, settle into your transport—either a convertible for smaller groups or a minibus—and your guide navigates the serpentine clifftop road where most travellers pause for photos. The Blue Grotto visit hinges on sea conditions and daylight; if passable, a small boat manoeuvres through a low arch into a cave flooded with electric blue light. You'll ascend Monte Solaro by chairlift for unobstructed views of the island's spine. Mid-tour, Piazzetta offers lunch options (at your own expense) amid café tables and designer shopfronts. The final stop is Augustus Gardens, a botanical terrace where you survey Faraglioni's iconic rock pinnacles before heading back to the ferry.
Good to know
Blue Grotto access depends on weather and sea state; the operator will arrange an alternative boat tour if conditions close it. Lunch isn't included; budget accordingly at Piazzetta's venues. The route suits all fitness levels, though the chairlift and gardens involve walking. Prams are manageable; infants must sit on an adult during ferry and car segments.
