The cave has a one-metre entrance, a separate rowboat fee and a habit of closing when the sea is up. The 15 below make the difference between a morning that works and a wasted crossing clear, with prices and what happens if it shuts.

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,511 reviews · 7 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $131

“We were 2 couples spending 10 days in Sorrento. This was a great day with a fabulous boat trip to Capri with our great captain, Antonio at the helm. We got there quite early before the crowds. We took the individual cable cars up to Anacapri and was quite relaxed. There were some little artisan shops to look around and some bars to have a snack and a drink. The only downside to this visit to Capri was that we didn’t have time to visit Capri town as well. We then took the boat to the Blue Grotto sea cave. It was busy and we waited for around 90 minutes…”

The boat ride around the island was beautiful too.”

“Overall we had a good time. The driver and helper were great, offering us refreshments and information along the way. We stopped a few times to swim which was heavenly. We had champagne and lemoncello on our way back. Nice touch. Our one complaint is that it took too long for the water taxi to transport us to/ from the boat to Capri. 30 mins one way and almost an hour on the way home. Everyone was hot and tired and seemed like there wasn’t a first come/ first serve line. No shade to wait in. Not sure if it is your company that doesn’t have priority or just an…”
