Day Trip from Naples to Capri

Capri is under an hour from Naples by hydrofoil, about 45 to 50 minutes from the Molo Beverello pier, and that crossing frames most of the day trips we cover. Among them the common length is around 8 hours, within a span of 6 to 10. We list 47 day trips to Capri that leave from Naples. Together, these Naples departures add up to more than 191 reviews and an average score of 4.5 out of 5.

Hydrofoil, island bus and a sit-down lunch

Some trips from Naples bundle the passage over with transport on Capri and a proper meal, so the island is seen on foot and by road. One such package includes a 3-course lunch with a quarter of wine or a soft drink, a return bus between Capri port and the town centre, and a "Digital itinerary with day-trip suggestions", its listing noted; WhatsApp support is on hand all day.

Island boat tours and the Capri-Sorrento day

Boat-based formats show Capri from the sea, with its coast circled by a shared or a smaller boat and some hours on the island to yourself.

Ferry-led days from Naples treat the island boat tour as one part of a longer outing. A voucher option combines the round-trip hydrofoil, with Wi-Fi aboard, and a 1.30-hour boat tour of the island; "Independent experience", as its listing put it, and the rating stands at 4.3 out of 5. Another joins Sorrento to Capri in about 10 hours, sending the digital ferry tickets before departure and bringing you from Capri to Naples by high-speed ferry, rated 4.1 out of 5.

Hop-on hop-off on Capri

Self-guided days combine the return ferry from Naples and transport around the island and leave the sightseeing to you. The version we include has a hop-on hop-off bus service on Capri, and you can upgrade the ticket to add a boat tour past the coast and the Faraglioni Rocks.

Choosing between Capri day trips from Naples comes down to how many hours you want aboard a boat and how many on foot in Capri Town and Anacapri. The trip with the most reviews of the tours shown here is "From Naples: Complete Capri Guided Boat and Bus Tour", scored 4.6 out of 5 by more than 140 reviewers.

Table data is indicative and comes from the GuruWalk catalogue. Each activity's current details, including availability, are the ones shown on its listing when you book.

Hydrofoil or slower ferry

Slower ferries need 60 to 85 minutes to reach Capri. In rough seas, though, they are cancelled less often than the hydrofoils.

The return queue at Marina Grande

In summer and on holiday weekends, the afternoon queues for boats back from Marina Grande on Capri can be long.

Anacapri, Monte Solaro and the Piazzetta

Anacapri is the higher, quieter side of the island; a single-seat chairlift climbs from it to Monte Solaro, the highest point, looking out over the Gulf of Naples. Down in Capri Town, life centres on the Piazzetta, and the Gardens of Augustus are close by.
