Things to know before you book Naples to Capri day trip

Capri is about 45–60 minutes from Naples by ferry or hydrofoil. Most tours include round-trip transfers to ensure a hassle-free experience. Independent travelers should expect to pay €40–€50 for ferry tickets.
Meet-up points are typically in central Naples, such as Beverello Port or Piazza Municipio. Confirm the meeting point in advance and plan to arrive at least 15 minutes early.
SNAV is the primary operator, offering high-speed ferries with modern amenities like wheelchair accessibility. Other operators, such as Caremar and Alilauro are options, but SNAV is known for its frequency and comfort.
While ferry transfers provide flexibility, you'll still need to plan your itinerary independently. Organized tours can take that off your plate with round-trip ferry transfers, structured itineraries, island transportation, even local guides, lunch, and visits to the Blue Grotto and Anacapri.
For travelers flying into Naples or needing local transfers, combo packages bundle ferry tickets and airport-to-city transfers (ferry + Alibus) save time and money.
For an elite Capri experience you can always upgrade to private tours. They come with flexibility, personalized itineraries, and exclusive access to Blue Grotto, Mount Solaro Chairlift & Gardens of Augustus for a more intimate experience.
Capri is a popular destination, especially in July and August, when tickets and tours often sell out. Book at least 2-4 weeks early to secure your preferred experience and avoid last-minute stress.
Plan your visit according to the weather since activities like the Blue Grotto can only be accessed under calm sea conditions. Tours may substitute this with other activities if access isn’t possible.
Some tours include a pre-arranged lunch at a local restaurant, while others allow free time to explore Capri’s culinary scene. If you prefer independent exploration, Marina Grande and Anacapri offer a variety of eateries.

Best time to take a Naples to Capri day trip

Peak season (June to August) vs. Off season (October to May)

Peak season brings Capri to life with vibrant energy, sunny weather, and up to 10 daily ferries offering flexibility. However, the heat can be intense, exceeding 30°C (86°F), and crowded attractions like the Blue Grotto require early visits to avoid long queues.

In contrast, the off-season offers a quieter, more relaxed experience with cooler temperatures ranging from 10°C to 20°C (50°F to 68°F). While ferry services are reduced to around 6 departures daily, the lack of crowds allows you to enjoy Capri’s stunning landscapes and iconic sites at your own pace.

Climate considerations

Late spring (May) and early autumn (September) offer the best balance—comfortable weather, fewer crowds, and an intimate vibe. Be prepared for occasional rain and pack light layers just in case.

Can I visit Capri and its attractions, like the Blue Grotto, year-round?

Are the ferries and attractions on Capri wheelchair or stroller accessible?

Most ferries are required to be accessible, but due to steep ramps, assistance may be needed for boarding and disembarking. While some areas of Capri, like the Piazzetta and certain restaurants, are accessible, many attractions have limited accessibility due to steep paths and stairs. It’s best to plan ahead and contact venues for specific accessibility options.

What’s the best way to avoid crowds at popular attractions like the Blue Grotto or Mount Solaro?

To avoid crowds, visit early in the morning or later in the afternoon. For the Blue Grotto, aim to arrive right when it opens, at 9am. Consider visiting during shoulder seasons (April-May, September-October) when fewer tourists are present.

Do I need to buy tickets in advance for Capri attractions, such as the chairlift or Gardens of Augustus?

Yes, it's recommended to purchase tickets online in advance for attractions like the Gardens of Augustus and Villa Lysis to avoid long lines. However, tickets for the Blue Grotto must be purchased on-site upon arrival.

How can I make the most of a single day on Capri if I prefer not to join a guided tour?

Plan your itinerary carefully by prioritizing key attractions such as the Blue Grotto, Anacapri (including the chairlift to Monte Solaro), and the Gardens of Augustus. Use local buses or funiculars for efficient transportation between sites. Arrive early and consider dining at local cafes for a taste of authentic cuisine without wasting time on reservations.
