Very short “tour”. About 10 minutes rowing in a circle going over some in amazing facts. Will ask for a tip before the bot ride even starts. 10 Euro each to see not a whole lot.

So it was a nice experience to see it. It was very quick maybe 5-10 mins in total. Please remember to take cash if visiting. the card machine stopped working and there was a lady behind us that didn't have any cash and couldn't come in.

The experience was very nice, 8e was not much to pay for the view and our funny captain who stirred the boat and told us about the Grotto. We were also lucky, there was only two other ppl on the boat with us and only closer to the end more people came in to the cave :) it was small but very pretty!

OMG What a waste. The light in the water is "emerald (smeraldo)" in 1 corner. So it would take like 3 minutes to paddle over there, take a picture, and leave. But to make it worth the trip, they paddle you around the cave (gotta) and show you rock formations. You know, this rock looks like this, and that rock looks like that, and OMG. Then they show you the nativity underwater. Probably put there so there would be something interesting to show you, besides the blue water.

But I must say, the shuttle boat ride to the hole in the wall, and back, is the best part! You are out on the sea, looking at the coast, with the wind in your hair, and the sun on your face.

The place is beautiful, amazing a bit too pricey for the tour but please for heaven sake do something to keep beautiful Mediterranean Sea clean!!! In front of the cave, floating by the entry there’s all kind of plastic bags, plastic bottles, face covid masks, pads and so on. En stead of smoking while waiting for the tourists the sailors should arm them self of a small net and pick up the trash, people are paying to see the place and nature deserves better!!!

We’ve had a nice visit and tour. After we left, I lost my wallet at the grotta. They all tried to call me and left a message to say that they had found my wallet. Very honest! Many thanks to Roberto Brangi and colleagues.

Nice, but too small...
if you have nothing to do, it is a place where you can cool off in summer ... otherwise it is interesting but very small area visited with the help of a boat.

Imagine stepping into a cave on a hillside in the Amalfi region on a road and encountering an amazing cave with natural light! The guide does everything to delight you, while paddling the boat, puts music and you feel like in Venice ... and with a simple lantern makes you surprises that I will not tell now not to spoil the moment! worth too much !!!! amazing moment!

Well worth stopping on your drive along the Amalfi coast. A unique experience, a cave excavated by nature and enjoyed by everyone who visited. Excellent narration by Capitan Roberto. Thank you.
