Board at Molo Beverello and cross the Bay of Naples to Capri’s limestone cliffs, a possible visit to the Blue Grotto, then on to Positano’s steep lanes and lemon-scented terraces. This private shore excursion packs coastal highlights into an eight-hour, guide-led day.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out onto the sun-warm stone of Molo Beverello and the harbor smells of diesel, salt, and lemon—Naples pushing you toward the open bay. The ferry slips past the Phlegraean islands, then Capri appears: white houses perched like dice on a vertical ledge, cliffs plunging into cobalt water. A small skiff rocks at the Blue Grotto entrance, and if the sea allows, you duck low and ride into a chamber lit from beneath by a light that seems almost deliberate.
