Planning a day trip to Capri from Sorrento, Naples, or Positano? One day in Capri is absolutely enough time to hit the highlights: a boat tour around the island, the Blue Grotto, the Monte Solaro chairlift, and a stroll through Capri town, if you plan your time well and get an early start.
We’ve done this exact day trip twice, under very different circumstances.
In July 2014, we brought our kids, then 9 and 11, and did the boat tour, Blue Grotto, and Monte Solaro in a single day. This 6-hour trip became one of the top two highlights of our visit to the Amalfi Coast (the other highlight was kayaking in Positano). More recently, Tim and I returned and spent 7 hours on the island covering everything we’d missed the first time: renting a scooter, hiking, and lingering over drinks with a view of the Faraglioni rocks.
Two very different days on Capri. Both were absolutely worth it.
In this guide we share what we think is the best way to spend one day in Capri, based on two first-hand visits, at different times of year, with different travel styles. You’ll find a full hour-by-hour itinerary, honest advice on what to skip, a complete cost breakdown, and everything you need to know to plan your Capri day trip from Sorrento or anywhere else on the Amalfi Coast.
If you’re planning a trip to Italy and considering the Amalfi Coast, a Capri day trip should be at the top of your list.

Overview of Capri
Capri is a small island in the Gulf of Naples, accessible by ferry from Sorrento, Naples, and Positano. The island has two towns, Capri and Anacapri, plus Marina Grande, where your ferry will dock and where boat tours depart.
Getting around requires a mix of transportation: ferries, buses, taxis, a funicular, and a chairlift. No cars are permitted on the island. For a full breakdown of how to get around, see our guide to things to do in Capri.
Below is a map of Capri. On this map, we highlighted the top sights in Capri, so you get an idea of where everything is located.

Is One Day in Capri Enough?
Yes, and for most visitors, one day is exactly how long they spend here. Capri is one of the most popular day trips on the Amalfi Coast for good reason: the island is compact enough to hit the highlights in a single day, and the ferry connections from Sorrento, Naples, and Positano make it easy to add on without disrupting the rest of your itinerary.
That said, one day in Capri requires planning. The island has more to offer than a single day allows, and if you try to do everything, you’ll end up rushing through experiences that deserve more time. The key is knowing what to prioritize, which is exactly what this guide helps you do.
6 hours on the island gives you enough time for the boat tour plus the Blue Grotto, the Monte Solaro chairlift, and a quick walk through Capri town. That’s a full, satisfying day trip, especially for first-time visitors.
7+ hours lets you spend more time in Capri town, and have a sit-down lunch. This is the sweet spot for most day-trippers and what we’d recommend planning for.
Less than 6 hours and you’ll need to make hard choices. Skip the Blue Grotto, the wait alone can eat an hour, and focus on the boat tour and Monte Solaro.
The bottom line: book an early ferry, plan to stay until 4:30 or 5pm, and you’ll leave Capri feeling like you got the most out of your day. Our Sorrento itinerary includes Capri as a dedicated day trip if you want a ready-made plan for your wider Amalfi Coast trip.
How to Plan Your Capri Day Trip
With only one day on the island, the biggest mistake you can make is trying to do too much. Capri rewards visitors who pick a few experiences and do them well over those who rush from one end of the island to the other trying to check every box.
Here’s how to think about your day before you arrive:
Start with the boat tour, no matter what. The boat tour is the single best use of your time on a Capri day trip. It departs from Marina Grande right where your ferry docks, it covers more of the island’s highlights in two hours than you could reach on foot in a full day, and it sets the perfect tone for everything that follows. Build your day around it, not after it.
Decide on the Blue Grotto before you go. The Blue Grotto adds roughly 45 minutes to an hour of wait time to your morning. If you want to do it, book a boat tour that includes it and mentally budget for that wait. If you’re traveling with kids, we’d say go, because our kids loved it. If you’ve visited sea caves before or are particularly crowd-averse, skip it and take the shorter boat tour instead. Make this decision before you arrive so you’re not debating it at Marina Grande while the clock ticks.
Plan to see both Capri town and Anacapri, but don’t linger equally in both. Most day-trippers spend too long in Capri town and run out of time for Anacapri, which is the quieter and in some ways more rewarding of the two. Our recommendation: spend 30 minutes in Capri town. Hit the Piazzetta, grab gelato from Buonocore, and walk Via Camerelle. Give Anacapri the longer visit since that’s where the Monte Solaro chairlift is anyway.
Leave the far-flung sights for another trip. Villa Jovis, Villa Lysis, and the Punta Carena Lighthouse are all worth seeing, but not on a day trip. Each requires significant time and effort to reach, and none of them are worth missing your ferry for. Arco Naturale is the one exception: if you book a late ferry and have energy left at 3:30 pm, it’s a viable add-on. But treat it as a bonus, not a plan.
For the full list of things to do on the island, including experiences beyond what fits in a single day, see our best things to do in Capri guide ↓
Best Things to Do in Capri, Italy
Here are the top 10 essential experiences to have in Capri, plus what to do if you have more time (2+ days in Capri).One Day in Capri Itinerary
This itinerary is written as a day trip from Sorrento, which we recommend as the best base for visiting Capri. It’s the closest departure point, has the most frequent ferries, and the 25-minute crossing gives you maximum time on the island. If you’re departing from Naples or Positano, plan to take an earlier ferry so you arrive at Marina Grande by 9:30 am and can follow the same schedule from there.
I will list times in this itinerary to give you an idea of how long the activities generally take, but your times may differ from this, depending on how quickly you move, crowds, and waiting times for public transportation.
PRO TRAVEL TIP: Arrive at the port of Sorrento at least one hour before your ferry departure, especially on weekends and in peak season. Ferries fill up and the port gets busy, and arriving late risks missing your departure entirely.
9 am: Ferry to Capri
Book the earliest convenient ferry that gets you to Marina Grande by 9:30am. We use Ferryhopper.com to compare all ferry companies and departure times in one place. It’s far easier than checking individual operator websites.
Book your tickets in advance. At the end of October, well outside peak season, we found that later afternoon return ferries were already sold out when we tried to book the day before. In high season, popular departures sell out even faster.
PRO TRAVEL TIP: Most ferry companies now offer e-tickets. You’ll receive a QR code on your phone and can board directly without collecting paper tickets at the port. Some operators still require paper ticket collection before departure, so check at the time of booking. Ferryhopper will provide pickup point details if needed.
Travel Times and Cost
Here is a rough estimate of the travel times and round-trip cost to get to Capri. You can get pricing down to the penny on the official websites or Ferryhopper.com.
- Sorrento: 20 to 25 minutes, €60
- Naples: 50 minutes, €70
- Positano: 30 minutes, €70
So, if you are starting in Sorrento and book an 9 am ferry, you will arrive at Marina Grande on Capri at 9:30 am.
Marina Grande, Capri
9:45 am: Boat Tour of Capri
As soon as you arrive at Marina Grande, head directly to the boat tour departure point — you’ll see signs for both operators as you exit the ferry. Don’t stop for coffee, don’t wander the port. The boat tour is the centerpiece of your day and you want to be on the first available departure.
Most boat tours make a full clockwise loop around the island, passing Arco Naturale, Tiberius’ Leap, the Faraglioni rocks, the White and Green Grottoes, and the Punta Carena Lighthouse. The two main operators are Motoscafisti Capri and Laser. We recommend booking your tickets in advance. The boat tour costs approximately €24 per person.
You have the option to add on the Blue Grotto, which costs an additional €18 per person.
Faraglioni Rocks
Punta Carena Lighthouse
Should You Visit the Blue Grotto?
Maybe.
The Blue Grotto gets mixed reviews and before our first visit, we also questioned if it would be worth it.
The Blue Grotto is probably the most popular attraction on Capri. Wait times can be as long as one hour to enter the Blue Grotto. Bobbing up and down on a boat, in the hot sun, is the perfect recipe for seasickness (both of our kids got queasy on our 45-minute wait).
To enter the Blue Grotto, you will climb off of the boat and into a small rowboat. Ducking down low (the entrance into the Blue Grotto is a tiny opening), your captain pulls you into the sea cave using a chain. You leave behind the hot sun and chaos and enter a cool, quiet, vibrantly blue sea cave.
The visit inside lasts 5 minutes, you exit the Blue Grotto, and then can either get back on the boat or get off on land (there is an advantage to this which we will explain soon).
Boat tours that include the Blue Grotto last 2 hours and tours that skip the Blue Grotto take 1 hour.
Despite the queasiness and the long wait, we all loved the experience and thought it was worth it. You can read our write up in our Guide to the Blue Grotto ↓
How to Visit the Blue Grotto & Is It Worth It?
Everything you need to know to visit the Blue Grotto.

Rowboats waiting to enter the Blue Grotto
Boat Tour Itinerary with the Blue Grotto
If you include the Blue Grotto, the timing of the boat tour looks like this:
9:45 am: Start the boat tour
10:30 am: Arrive at the Blue Grotto. Assuming a wait time of 45 minutes and time in the Blue Grotto, you will exit the Blue Grotto around 11:20 am.
PRO TRAVEL TIP: We recommend disembarking the rowboat onto land and do not get back on the boat. This saves you lots of transportation time from Marina Grande to Anacapri. We did this at the advice of our boat captain and it worked beautifully. There are no notable sights between the Blue Grotto and Marina Grande so you don’t miss anything by getting off of the boat early.
We had lunch at the top of the steps, next to the Blue Grotto. The food was average but it was fun watching the chaos of rowboats entering and exiting the Blue Grotto. You can also wait and have lunch in Anacapri.
11:20 am: Go to Anacapri. At the top of the steps is a bus stop. Ride the bus to Anacapri. Buses arrive roughly every 15 minutes and it is a short ride to Anacapri.
11:45 am: Arrive in Anacapri.
Boat Tour Itinerary without the Blue Grotto
9:45 am: Start the boat tour
10:45 am: Finish the boat tour in Marina Grande and travel to Anacapri by bus.
11:15 am: Arrive in Anacapri
So, if you skip the Blue Grotto, you do save a little bit of time. For the timing of this itinerary, I am going to stick with the 11:45 am arrival to Anacapri, since many people prefer to add on the Blue Grotto.
The bus station in Anacapri is next to Piazza Vittorio and from here it is a very short walk to the chairlift (Seggiovia Monte Solaro).
11:45 am: Ride the Chairlift to Monte Solaro
The bus station in Anacapri sits next to Piazza Vittorio and from here it’s a very short walk to the chairlift station (Seggiovia Monte Solaro). Go here first before doing anything else in Anacapri, since the chairlift has limited capacity and lines build as the day progresses.
Monte Solaro is the highest point on the island. From the summit you can see the Faraglioni rocks, Mount Vesuvius, the Isle of Ischia, Sorrento, and the entire Bay of Naples spread out below you. The cover photo of this guide was taken from here.
The chairlift ride takes 7 minutes each way. Once at the top, spend 15 to 20 minutes taking in the views from the terraces before riding back down. The full visit including the round-trip chairlift takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Tickets cost approximately €14 round trip.
Monte Solaro Chairlift
View of the boats near Marina Piccola from Monte Solaro
12:45 pm: Anacapri
Now is a good time for lunch before heading to Capri town. Two restaurants near the chairlift station get consistently strong reviews: Casa Orlandi Ristorante and Pizzeria has a convenient location and a lovely outdoor terrace, and Sciue’ Sciue’ is a short walk away and serves excellent pasta and pizza at slightly more reasonable prices for Capri.
You also have the option to spend some time here strolling the streets, doing a little shopping, but with limited time, I recommend making your way to Capri instead.
1:45 pm: Bus or Taxi to Capri
From Anacapri, take the public bus or a taxi down to Capri town. The bus is cheaper; the taxi is faster and gives you more flexibility on timing.
2:15 pm: Capri Town
Spend the next 30 to 60 minutes exploring the town of Capri. This town is a busy spot and most likely will be more crowded than Anacapri.
From the bus and taxi station, head straight to Piazza Umberto I, which is the famous Piazzetta, the social epicenter of Capri. Grab a table at one of the cafés and spend a few minutes people-watching.
From the Piazzetta, stroll along Via Camerelle for its high-end boutiques and then continue onto Via Tragara, a quieter, elegant lane lined with villas that ends at a stunning viewpoint over the Faraglioni rocks.
Piazza Umberto I

Via Camerelle
Before you leave, get a scoop from Buonocore Gelateria, which is widely considered the best gelato on the island and one of the few genuinely budget-friendly stops you’ll make all day.
3:00 pm: Giardini di Augusto & Via Krupp
From Capri town it’s a 5-minute walk downhill to the Gardens of Augustus (Giardini di Augusto), one of the best viewpoints on the island for a very small entry fee. Climb to the upper platform for sweeping views of the Faraglioni rocks and the coastline, and look down at the famous zigzagging switchbacks of Via Krupp below.
Via Krupp recently reopened after years of closure. If you want to walk it, the path descends from here down to Marina Piccola. It’s a beautiful walk but adds time. Factor in at least 30 to 40 minutes for the descent and return, and make sure you have enough time before your ferry.
Via Krupp
3:30 pm: Take Your Pick
At this time of day, you have several options. You can spend more time on Capri, taking a late ferry, or you can start your travels back to Sorrento/Positano/Naples now.
Option #1: Return to Sorrento/Naples/Positano
From Capri town, ride the funicular to Marina Grande and board the ferry for the return trip to your starting point. In the afternoon, there could be a wait for the funicular. If so, you can also hire a taxi, take the bus (which might also have a line), or walk (a 20-minute downhill walk, use Google Maps for directions).
Book a 4:30 or 5:00 pm ferry for this option.
Option #2: Via del Pizzolungo
For those who want to add on a scenic walk and get a little bit off of the beaten path, you can go on a very nice walk through the more residential areas of Capri to viewpoints of the coastline.
Pizzolungo Coastal Trail
The view of the Faraglioni Rocks from Via del Pizzolungo
Via del Pizzolungo is a walking trail that leads to several viewpoints on the southeast end of the island. This walk is 4 km (2.5 miles) and it will take about an hour and a half to two hours. It is paved the entire way, but you will walk up and down long sets of steps. In the summer months, it will be a hot walk, so keep this in mind and bring some water.
You can find walking directions and more photos in our guide to the Best Things to Do in Capri.
Book one of the last ferries of the day for this option.
Option #3: More Time in Capri or Anacapri
Anacapri
If you like the idea of spending more time in Anacapri, spend an hour or two after lunch (before taking the bus or taxi to Capri town). See the amazing tile floor of the Church of San Michele or visit Villa San Michele. The highlights of visiting the villa are seeing the gardens and the 2,000+ year old Sphinx that overlooks the coast.

Capri Town
You can also spend more time shopping in the town of Capri or getting drinks with a view. We really liked Capri Rooftop, which is a restaurant and bar that is located next to Giardini di Augusto and has nice views of the Faraglioni Rocks. Another recommendation is La Palette Ristorante, which is located on Via Matermania, about a 5 to 10-minute walk from the Capri city center.
Book one of the last ferries of the day for this option.
PRO TRAVEL TIP: The last ferry from Capri to Sorrento departs around 7 pm, but this timing can change depending on the season. Book your ferry tickets in advance, so you have a set return time, and know exactly when you will have to be in Marina Grande for your return trip to Sorrento, Naples, or Positano.
How Much Does a Day Trip to Capri Cost?
Capri is one of the more expensive day trips you can take on the Amalfi Coast, but knowing what to expect makes it easier to budget. Below is a realistic per-person cost breakdown for a day trip from Sorrento, following the itinerary above.
Getting there and back
- Sorrento to Capri ferry, round trip: €60
Activities
- Boat tour of the island: €24
- Blue Grotto entrance fee: €18
- Monte Solaro chairlift, round trip: €14
- Gardens of Augustus entrance: €2.50
Getting around the island
- Bus from Anacapri to Capri town: €2.40
- Funicular from Capri town to Marina Grande: €2.40
Food
- Lunch in Anacapri: €15 – €25 per person (more with alcohol)
- Gelato at Buonocore: €3 – €5
Estimated total per person: €140 – €150 (this includes the Blue Grotto)
A few things worth knowing before you go:
- Capri has a landing fee built into every ferry ticket: €5 per person from April through October, €2.50 from November through March. This is already included in the ferry prices above.
- Food and drinks are significantly more expensive in Capri town than in Anacapri. If you’re watching your budget, have lunch in Anacapri and limit yourself to one drink at a view restaurant rather than a full meal.
- Taxis are not included above. If you use taxis instead of buses to get between Anacapri and Capri town, add €15–€20 to your total.
- If you’re departing from Naples or Positano, your ferry costs will be slightly different. Check Ferryhopper.com for current pricing on your specific route.
Day Trip to Capri by Tour
If you don’t want to arrange all of this on your own, you can join a tour of Capri. There are tons of options to choose from, from highly rated small group tours that leave from Sorrento like this one, or a private tour of Capri.
When booking your tour, pay attention to the starting and ending point, group size, what you will visit, and how long the tour will last.
Here are a few highly rated tours that include the main highlights of Capri.

Frequently Asked Questions About a Capri Day Trip
Is a day trip to Capri worth it?
Absolutely, and we say that having done it twice. The boat tour alone, with its views of the Faraglioni rocks and sea caves, is worth the ferry ticket. Yes, it’s expensive and yes, it gets crowded, but a well-planned day trip to Capri is one of the best things you can do on the Amalfi Coast, full stop.
Can you do a Capri day trip without a tour?
Yes, and it’s exactly what we’d recommend. The independent day trip is straightforward to plan: book your ferry on Ferryhopper.com, purchase boat tour tickets in advance, and use public buses to get between Anacapri and Capri town. That said, if you’d prefer everything handled for you, a small group tour from Sorrento is a reasonable option and removes the logistics entirely.
How many hours do you need for a Capri day trip?
Plan for a minimum of 6 hours on the island. Six hours is enough time for the boat tour plus the Blue Grotto, Monte Solaro chairlift, and a quick walk through Capri town. More time lets you spend proper time in both Capri town and Anacapri, and have a sit-down lunch.
Do you need to book ferry tickets in advance for a Capri day trip?
Yes, especially for your return ferry. We cannot stress this enough. At the end of October, well outside peak season, we found that later afternoon return ferries from Capri to Sorrento were already sold out when we tried to book the day before. In July and August, popular departures sell out days in advance. Book both your outbound and return ferry tickets before you leave for Capri, not when you arrive on the island.
Is a Capri day trip worth it with kids?
Yes. We took our kids to Capri when they were 9 and 11 and it became the highlight of their entire Amalfi Coast trip. The boat tour kept them completely engaged, the Blue Grotto felt genuinely magical at that age, and the Monte Solaro chairlift was their single favorite experience of the day. The main challenges with kids are the cost, because a family day trip adds up quickly, and the heat in July and August, which makes the Blue Grotto wait particularly tough. If you’re visiting in peak summer with kids, pack snacks, bring water, and get on the earliest ferry possible to beat the worst of the heat and crowds.
What is the best base for a Capri day trip — Sorrento, Naples, or Positano?
Sorrento is our recommendation for most visitors, and it’s where we based ourselves on both of our Capri trips. The ferry takes just 25 minutes, departures are frequent throughout the day, and Sorrento itself is a wonderful base for exploring the wider Amalfi Coast. Naples works well if you’re already staying there. The ferry takes about 50 minutes and runs frequently, though you’ll lose an hour of island time compared to departing from Sorrento. Positano is a beautiful departure point and the 30-minute crossing is scenic, but ferry schedules from Positano are less frequent and more weather-dependent than from Sorrento, which can add stress to your day trip planning. If you have flexibility in where you stay, base yourself in Sorrento. It’s the easiest and most reliable jumping-off point for Capri.
