Board a hydrofoil from Naples for a full-day trip to Capri: pass the Faraglioni, visit the luminous Blue Grotto by rowboat, and explore Capri’s town and Augustus Gardens. This full-day excursion blends shoreline views, Roman history, and narrow island streets — with weather-dependent cave access.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the air-conditioned van in Naples just as the first hydrofoils start cutting the Tyrrhenian like silver knives. Salt wind tugs at your hair and Capri’s limestone cliffs loom: white faces pitted by sea and time, crowned with scrub and villas. The boat skirts the island, threading past the Faraglioni stacks — rock pillars that dare you to look over the rail — before easing toward the tiny mouth of the Blue Grotto.
