Starting Your Day in Naples
The adventure begins with a pick-up from your hotel in Naples, which is a big plus if you’re staying centrally. The organizer, Tripsitalia, coordinates this smoothly — just contact them the day before to confirm your meeting point. The journey kicks off with a comfortable 35-minute bus ride that takes you from the city into the scenic coastal area.
The Speedboat to Capri
Next comes the highlight — a speedboat ride from Naples to Capri, lasting about an hour. This leg offers stunning views of the coastline and a real sense of excitement. Travelers often comment on the efficiency and the thrill of zooming across the water, with some noting that the boat gives a “fantastic vantage point for photos” and helps bypass busy ferry lines.
Free Time in Capri
Upon arrival, you’re granted around 6 hours of free time. This is ample to explore the island at your pace — whether that’s wandering through the charming streets of Capri town, visiting the famous Piazzetta, or sampling local products like limoncello and fresh pastries. Several reviews highlighted how the flexible schedule allows for spontaneous adventures, which is perfect for independent explorers.
While the tour does not include a guide, it offers the freedom to organize your own routes or hire a guide separately. Some travelers appreciated this setup, mentioning they enjoyed discovering hidden corners and local shops that aren’t on typical tourist routes. It’s worth noting that you’ll receive your ferry and transport tickets via phone and paper in the morning, ensuring you’re well-prepared.
