Getting there

The island of Capri is located just off the west coast of Italy in the Bay of Naples. It is easy to reach by ferry or hydrofoil, and services run regularly throughout the day.

• By car: From November to early April, you can bring your car to Capri via ferry from Naples and Sorrento. However, the island is small with few roads, so using public transport is recommended.
• By public transport: In summer, take the fast ferry from the Port of Amalfi to Capri. Running up to eight times daily, the trip costs €23-€25 per person and takes 50 minutes to just over an hour.
• Guided tours: For a hassle-free experience, take a guided Capri day trip from the Amalfi Coast. Enjoy a local guide, convenient pickup and drop-off, and all transportation included.

Itinerary

A typical Capri day tour begins with meeting your guide and boarding the boat from Praiano, Positano, or Amalfi. You'll journey along the coastline, passing landmarks like the Li Galli islands, before heading to Capri.

Upon arrival, enjoy a coastal tour of iconic spots such as the Faraglioni rocks, Arco Naturale, and sea grottoes, and see Casa Malaparte and Punta Carena lighthouse. Explore picturesque coves, swim in the Tyrrhenian Sea, and visit Capri’s charming towns and villages before returning to the Amalfi Coast.
