Visiting the Blue Grotto
- How do I visit the Blue Grotto with a private boat or tour?
- If the Blue Grotto is open, boat tours will stop by the entrance to the cave. Here, you will have to wait your turn and transfer to one of the small authorized rowboats, purchase a ticket, and enter the cave.
- How long do you stay inside the Blue Grotto?
- The wait time to enter can easily be an hour, but you will only spend about 5 minutes inside the cave.
- How can I find out in advance if the Blue Grotto is open or closed?
- On our Blue Grotto page, you can check the red and green dots to see if the grotto is open or closed. Unfortunately, there is no way to predict if the grotto will be open in advance. In case of high winds and rough seas, the grotto will be closed.
- Are tickets to enter the Blue Grotto included in the tour price?
- No, Blue Grotto tickets are never included in any tour, and must be paid for in cash at the entrance to the grotto.
- Can you swim in the Blue Grotto?
- No, it is forbidden to swim in the Blue Grotto, though many enter the cave after 5 pm when the cave closes to the public...or by tipping their rowboat skipper a significant amount.
