**What happens if the Blue Grotto is closed by the sea?**

For a stated cave closure fallback, choose the Capri and Blue Grotto guided island day: it substitutes a shared island cruise. This is a replacement activity, not a promise of a refund. The Capri and Blue Grotto guided island day includes the cave ticket at €115 per person, rated 4.8 from 103 reviews. Its terms replace cave entry with a shared island cruise when the grotto is closed. Cancellation of the whole boat tour and omission of a cave stop are different events; a free cancellation label does not specify the remedy for a missed stop. See island days with cave alternatives: https://guidekin.com/italy/capri/island-tours-capri/

Give it most of a day if you want the island with it: the median is 6 hours and 5 of the 9 listings run longer than five hours, at a median €130 per person. A private boat does the coast in a morning. Per person medians: €120 shared and €400 private, a spread between different products, not a premium. Duration medians: 7 hours shared and 3 hours private. Boat priced private listings: 2 of 4, median €964; divide by the party covered by the option.

**Which Blue Grotto tours also visit Anacapri or go round the island?**

For Anacapri with your own guide, choose the private Capri, Anacapri and Blue Grotto day. It includes island transport and cave entry; a boat tour label does not establish a town visit. The island tour rubric overlaps 5 of these 9 listings; the boat rubric overlaps 5. These groups overlap each other.

**Can I take small children to the Blue Grotto, and are any tours accessible?**

For a Blue Grotto day with infants or a stroller, start with island tours: 5 of 5 are marked for both. Cave entry requires a rowboat transfer. Operator marked wheelchair access: 2 of 9 listings, including 2 of 4 private tours. A tour label does not establish access to the cave rowboat: filter first, then confirm that transfer with the operator.
