About this tour
This eight-hour excursion departs Sorrento by fast ferry to Capri, where a guide shepherds your group through the island's highlights. You'll tackle the famous coastal road, attempt the Blue Grotto (weather dependent), explore Anacapri's shopping and dining scene at altitude, and finish at the Piazzetta with time to browse Augustus Garden. The ferry and island shuttle are included; you're back in Sorrento by evening.
Highlights
- Blue Grotto's luminous waters (conditions permitting)
- Winding coastal drive with dramatic sea views
- Anacapri village for independent exploration and lunch
- Optional chairlift ascent to Monte Solaro peak
- Piazzetta square and Augustus Garden botanicals
- Fast ferry crossing both directions from Sorrento
- English-speaking guide for the full day
What to expect
You'll meet your guide at Sorrento port and board the ferry—expect 40 minutes across the water. Once on Capri, the group travels by bus along the island's switchback roads with substantial views. If the Blue Grotto is accessible, you'll transfer to a smaller boat for the cave visit; if not, a shared boat circles the island instead. Anacapri offers genuine downtime: grab lunch at a local trattoria, browse independent boutiques, or rest. Those keen on higher vantage points can pay separately for the chairlift to Monte Solaro. The afternoon wraps at Piazzetta, where cafes and the garden provide final minutes before the return ferry.
Good to know
Bring sun protection and secure footwear for uneven terrain. The chairlift and garden entry cost extra. Ferry time counts toward your eight hours, so actual island time is roughly five hours. Not suitable if you have cardiovascular concerns or mobility restrictions. Prams are acceptable, though Anacapri's cobbles are steep.
