1 / 8Capri Island from Naples by hydrofoil
About this activity
Travel by fast hydrofoil from Naples to the glamorous island of Capri for a full day immersed in turquoise waters, designer boutiques, and cinematic Mediterranean scenery. This curated excursion balances guided discovery with ample free time to explore hilltop villages, natural landmarks, and the legendary Piazzetta at your own pace.
Visit the picturesque island of Capri in one day. Relish the blue skies, turquoise water, and breathtaking views, and discover the couture shops which enliven this little bit of paradise. Your tour will take you through this oasis for artists, writers, and celebrities.
During your free time, stroll through the roads of Anacapri and take the chance to visit Villa San Michele or enjoy a breathtaking experience on the chairlift which leads thousands of tourists to the top of Mt. Solaro. Free time for optional lunch, following which you will reach Capri's main town and visit the unforgettable piazzetta, which is also called the "little theater of the world".
From this tiny square you will walk along the narrow streets of Capri, famous for Italian fashion brands and local hand-crafted shops. The Augustus’ Gardens are not far away and the view of the Faraglioni, and the winding road of Via Krupp is simply stunning. Capri is a wonderful naturalistic experience whilst being one of the most fashionable places in Italy at the same time.
Your guide will provide some free time for you in order to allow the group to relax, go shopping, or take a boat tour around the island. Following this free time, you will take the hydrofoil back to Naples.
