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.

Non ti so rispondere perché noi siamo arrivati via mare in barca da Conca dei Marini.
Il luogo va bene anche per bambini, non ci sono pericoli

Bisogna prenotare prima oppure si fa sul posto? Come funziona? E come ci si arriva da Amalfi? Non abbiamo la macchina. Grazie

Non è necessario prenotare, i biglietti si fanno sul molo e direttamente all'ingresso della grotta. Per arrivare ad Amalfi consiglio molto caldamente di usare i bus di linea della SITA. La Costiera è molto tortuosa e molto trafficata, chi non è pratico rallenta o blocca il traffico con enormi disagi! In più, i parcheggi sono pochissimi e carissimi. Da 5 anni che vado in Costiera, non mi sogno minimamente di usare l'auto! Solo bus!

Si può portare il cane a visitare la grotta?

La grotta si raggiunge e si visita in barca, quindi dipende se il cane si sta fermo. Tieni presente che la barchetta di cui si va in grotta è molto piccola

È possibile visitare la grotta anche se accompagnati da un cane?

Non saprei. Ma non penso in quanto sarebbe un problema in barca per gli altri visitatori

Is it easy to get a tour when we get there or is it better to book in advance? Do they have private tours?

It's a small grotto, but you will definitely want a guide to take you there. The hotels will be happy to help you find a guide. We found ours on the internet. You don't want to drive the Amalfi coast and its towns on your own.
Ich würde gern wissen, wie lang der Unterwassertunnel ist, durch den das Licht in die Grotte gelangt

Hallo, das kann ich leider nicht nicht beantworten. Ich meine aber, gehört zu haben,dass wohl um die Weihnachtszeit auch ein Zugang für Taucher erlaubt sein soll. Ansonsten ist der gesamte Lichteinfall für mein Empfinden sehr gering. Interessant ist die künstlich geschaffene Unterwassergrippe, wenn das Wasser klar ist.
in che modo si puo parcheggiare

Milan, Italy1,339 contributions
Non parcheggiare,passa oltre!
Attrazione di poco conto e gente accattona che cerca la mancia.
Comunque se proprio vuoi,puoi lasciare l'auto in superficie,accanto all'entrata delle grotte.
Il personale addetto ti si attaccherà addosso...
Prezzo 3€ parcheggio.
