Guide
Which departure gets you inside
Sorrento, Naples or Positano — crossing time, how much of the day is transit, and which departures reach the cave before the swell builds.
Blue Grotto Guides
Five long-form guides, each working one topic end to end: which departure port gets you inside, where the hours of a Blue Grotto day actually go, why you pay again at the cave mouth, what separates a $99 day from an $806 one, and the sea state that decides all of it. Shorter, single-question pieces live on the blog.
Guide
Four hours of waiting for four minutes
The crossing, the queue of tenders, the transfer to the rowboat and the five minutes inside — the day, with a clock against it.
Guide
The fee, the rowers and your tour price
Why you pay again at the cave mouth, who the money goes to, and what a tour price does and does not cover.
Guide
What a Capri day costs
$99 to $806 on the same island. Group size, boat type, swim stops and whether the grotto is included or optional.
Guide
Closed by swell
The cave shuts on sea state, not on a schedule. The cancellation season month by month, and how to build a second Capri day into the trip.
