Witness for yourself the beauty of the unspoiled island of Capri in just one day. Let us take you on an unforgettable day trip to the island aboard a jetfoil boat accompanied by your expert guide. The picturesque Island of Capri is located in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the Sorrentine Peninsula. It’s on the south side of the Gulf of Naples, in southern Italy’s spectacular Campania region.
Blue skies and turquoise water, breathtaking views, couture shops and cafés characterize this bit of paradise. Tours of Capri will take you to this oasis for artists, writers and celebrities. In their day, Roman Emperors walked along Capri’s pristine shores.
Meet your English-speaking guide at the Sorrento Marina and by jetfoil you will reach Capri main port, Marina Grande. Bustling with arriving ships, this is the main point of entry to the island. The view is lovely, as are the many sailing vessels moored at the pier.
Weather permitting, we will catch a convertible car for an open-air ride to our first destination, Anacapri. You will take a scenic travel route, including the thrilling Mamma Mia Road.
Then it’s just a short chairlift to Monte Solaro. The highest and most panoramic view point on the island, Mount Solaro rises 589 meters above sea level.
You will marvel at views of the famed Penninsula of Sorrento, Mt. Vesuvius, the Gulf of Naples and the islands of Ischia and Procida. The coastal headlands, vineyards, villas and the Capri town center complete the stunning vista.
Also interesting in Anacapri is the Villa San Michele, built by Swedish writer and doctor Axel Munthe, full of gardens, relics and art. Next is some shopping time and lunch.
After lunch, you will visit the main town of Capri, and La Piazzetta. Known locally as the Chiazza, this is where the beautiful people are followed by the paparazzi. Shop windows glitter with the latest fashions and cafés spill out onto the pavement in a festive crowd of wining and dining. The Augustus Gardens are next on the tour. In the 1900s this botanical estate was the vacation home of steel magnate Friedrich Alfred Krupp. Explore the unique flora of Capri in this island garden. It is from here that we will look down upon the renowned Faraglioni limestone sea stacks.
These imposing rock formations rise from the blue Mediterranean and are one of Capri’s best-known landmarks.
Afterwards, you will have free time to explore, shop,and grab a beverage at a local cafe.
Then meet your guide at a designated location in the main square where you will catch the famous Funicolare (Cable Car) to reach the main pier of Capri Marina Grande. Then back onto the boat to Sorrento. Estimated arrival back to Sorrento is between 4:30pm and 5:00pm.
