Capri and Anacapri Boat Tour from Sorrento
This full-day tour combines the best of Capri's land and sea attractions with a convenient hydrofoil journey from Sorrento. You'll start early to beat the crowds, sailing across the Bay of Naples to reach Marina Grande, Capri's main harbour. The tour includes visits to both Capri town and the quieter hillside village of Anacapri, plus the chance to experience the famous Blue Grotto.
Your day begins with a comfortable minibus ride to the Blue Grotto, where weather permitting, you'll enter this renowned sea cave by small paddle boat. The grotto's electric blue illumination comes from sunlight passing through underwater openings, creating an otherworldly atmosphere. From there, you'll explore Anacapri's artisan shops and scenic viewpoints before descending to Capri town via the winding Mamma Mia Road.
In Capri's centre, you'll have time to wander the famous Piazzetta with its outdoor cafés and designer boutiques. The return journey to Marina Grande includes a funicular ride with panoramic views. If you're looking for more coastal adventures, consider an Amalfi Coast boat tour to explore the dramatic clifftop towns nearby.
What is Included
- Roundtrip hydrofoil transfers from Sorrento to Capri

Good to Know
The tour runs for a full day, departing early from Sorrento to maximise your time on the island. Blue Grotto access depends entirely on weather and sea conditions, so entry cannot be guaranteed. The tour is not wheelchair accessible due to the transfers required and Blue Grotto entry restrictions.
Lunch and hotel transfers are not included in the price. Bring comfortable walking shoes for exploring the island's streets and viewpoints, plus sun protection including a hat and sunscreen. Carry photo ID for ticket verification if required. For those staying longer in the area, a Pompeii guided tour makes an excellent addition to your Campania itinerary.
The flexible itinerary allows you to explore at your own pace during free time periods. Optional boat tours around the island to see the Faraglioni rocks and White Grotto are available but not included in the basic tour price.
