The product offers several option types, but they all share round-trip hydrofoil transport from Naples and a private English-speaking guide for the day.

It suits travelers who want the day organized around Capri’s different areas and who prefer a guided format with clear structure instead of a fully flexible private charter.

Small Group Tour from Naples to Capri Boat and Land
Best for: Travelers who want a shared-day Capri tour with boat and island transport included
This tour starts in Naples and is built as a shared day to Capri with both water and land components. The included transport covers fast ferry tickets in both directions, a shared boat ride around the island, and shuttle bus transport on Capri. The itinerary then moves through island stops by land, including Anacapri and Capri’s main square, with the chairlift listed as optional rather than included. It is a strong fit for travelers who want a full Capri overview without booking a private tour, and who are comfortable with a group setting and a more set schedule.
