Sorrento · BLUE GROTTO TOURS

The 15 Best Blue Grotto Tours in Capri

75 tours  ·  from $28 a head

The cave opens only in a calm sea and the decision is made on the morning, so the departure and the refund policy matter as much as the boat. These 15 cover the direct runs and the island circuits that include it, priced and clear on what happens when it shuts.

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,511 reviews · 7 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $131

Cruise from Sorrento to Capri in a 12-person boat, visit the Blue Grotto early, swim by the island, and enjoy free time in Capri.

“Overpriced. The crew was very nice and helpful. The circumstances were not their fault. Did not get into the Blue Grotto due to rough seas. The whole reason for booking this excursion was to go into the Blue Grotto. I truly believe the best customer service would be to give a partial refund if the grotto is closed for the day. It was the most disappointing day. It was our 25th wedding anniversary and we paid a lot of money just to go to Capri and spend more money for lunch and a bit of souvenir shopping. Complete waste of a lot of money. I would not recommend this tour.”

Review of the Capri and Blue Grotto tour from Naples or Sorrento, with jetfoil views, Anacapri, Mount Solaro, Capri, and practical tips.

“One of the very best days we spent in Italy. Capri and Anacapri are both on the same island but different in elevation and the vibe. Either one would be worth the boat ride to the island but to do both on the same day was incredible. Our guide was amazing and was very honest with us that we might not be able to get into the Blue Grotto due to rough water conditions. But, he also told us he had a plan B - a boat tour around the whole island. At first we were disapointed to miss the Grotto but 5 minutes into the boat tour around the…”

Review of the Capri boat tour from Sorrento, with a small group, Blue Grotto option, swimming, island sightseeing, and four hours on land.

“There is a fee to go into the Blue Grotto. Its worth it, they take Visa & MC. There is a lot of time on Capri. Marina Grande is a mass of humanity. Maybe plan to immediately ahead to go to the chair lift. The shuttle driver will want a tip, the oarsman at the Blue Grotto, the Captain and Mate as well. Have cash. The views around the Island are amazing. If you are at the Blue Grotto before the oarsmen have your camera ready. Their arrival is a show in itself. You may need to lobby your Captain and Mate to get in line to go into the…”

“Boat trip lasted 1:15h, blue grotto wasn’t able to visit that day due to the waves but other than that: the skipper was super fun, made jokes all the time and showed us all the major places around the island. Totally recommend and for approx. 20 bucks absolutely worth it (keeping in mind that the island is veeeery expensive ;-) ). Do this while on Capri, it’s impressive!”

Review of Sorrento Sea Tours’ Capri boat trip, with swimming, grottos, free time, costs, delays, and Blue Grotto advice.

“A bit of a chaotic start, and long wait to get started, but once on the boat the skipper and his mate were such fun, very relaxed and generous with the drinks. Very much wanted us to enjoy ourselves. Stopped twice for a swim which was unexpected, with Marcello showing great skill gliding the boat into several caves for our enjoyment. Highly recommended trip, easily the highlight of our Sorrento trip. Loved it!!”
