Excellent excursion showing the beautiful grottos of Palinuro. An easy, fun, and interesting boat trip around Palinuro skippered by a seasoned local.

After a brief delay getting out of port, a terrific trip that was informative and beautifully refreshing with entrance into the Grotto Azzuro and a great dip into the waters of of the Cala Del Buondormire. Great tour guide and captain. Unforgettable.

Daniel_S

Absolutely must see! The guide was knowledgeable and very nice. He took pictures of us, answered our questions etc. We had plenty of time inside Grotte and he slowed down to explain every peak. We highly recommend this tour! Worth every penny.

30 seconds in a cave where one third of the water was a nice deep blue colour…. and out again. Kind of an underwhelming experience!

Very good ! !! Perfect for teens that don’t want to be on a boat all day. The views were beautiful and swim was refreshing!! Very good for the price. Only thing didn’t speak English like it was stated onTripAdvisor.

SandiOB660

Great boat trip into the blue lagoon and around the coast, followed by a swim in the sea. Very helpful staff, lovely few hours.

Mark P

Best trip of our vacation! Great friendly guide, very good boat, not overcrowded.The Blue Grotto ist the most beautiful sight! Capri cannot be nicer! And no waiting time and a very reasonable price, too! The swimming at the Bay of Good Sleep was fantastic, too! My advice: skip the overcrowded sights of Capri and the Amalfi coast and spend a day or two at Cilento National Park - this is paradise, indeed!

annets479

We enjoyed the boat trip very much. It is a beautiful grotte, enlightened by the sum underneath the water. And a beautiful coastside! Unfortunately, our guide barely spoke english, which we regret because we were really curious about the geological details.

Abbiamo visitato questa grotta e tutte le altre arrivando con un kayak gonfiabile. Ho trovato il percorso molto tecnico ma è quello che bisogna fare se vuoi visitarla!
