Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra) Tours and Tickets

Q: How much does it cost to visit the Blue Grotto in Capri in 2024?

The price for entry to the Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra) in Capri is typically around €15-18 per person. This includes a boat ride to the grotto entrance, but there are some additional costs for transfers and tours. If you’re starting from Naples or Sorrento and need full transport, expect to pay closer to US$130.

Q: Do I need to book tickets in advance for the Blue Grotto in Capri?

Booking tickets in advance for the Blue Grotto in Capri is not mandatory, but it’s recommended to check availability ahead of time and consider booking a tour to avoid wait times. During peak travel season—and especially in July and August—boats can line up in long queues to enter the grotto.

Q: How do I get to the Blue Grotto from Capri town?

To get to the Blue Grotto from the town of Capri, you can take a bus or taxi to Marina Grande and either board a boat or join a guided tour. During summer, you can easily take buses to Anacapri and the Blue Grotto parking area—from there, a flight of steps leads to the cave entrance.

Q: What should I bring with me when visiting the Blue Grotto in Capri?

When visiting the Blue Grotto in Capri, it’s a good idea to bring a small waterproof bag to keep your belongings dry from water spray and a camera with a waterproof case or cover. At the cave entrance, admission tickets are cash-only, so be sure to bring enough euros.

Q: Can I swim inside the Blue Grotto in Capri?

No, you can’t swim inside the Blue Grotto in Capri, due to safety regulations and ongoing efforts to preserve the natural environment of the immensely popular sea cave. Visitors who swim into the cave or dive from boats into the water even outside of the official opening hours risk paying fines of thousands of euros.

We had a great time on our boat. Alessandro was very welcoming & ensured we were all having a good time. The Blue Grotto was closed but we were able to see some other nice areas of Capri. You don’t get off the boat except for a change to jump in the water. We were there in April so just a little cooler but it was a fun day.

Amazing small group tour to Capri

Great tour to see Capri from Sorrento! Only 8 people on board. We didn’t get to enter the blue grotto because it wasn’t safe that day but we still had amazing views and saw the other grottos. We had about 4 hours on Capri to explore. Got to swim off the beach and the boat as well! Perfect day and Luca and Alessandro were great guides!

Amazing trip from start to end

Absolutely amazing trip, thank you to Giuseppe our captain and Louisa our funny and enthusiastic guide. Beautiful day, too choppy for the blue grotto but it didn’t matter at all and we still got to see other caves and amazing scenery. Highly recommend the chairlift at Anacapri, and jumping off the boat for a swim if you get the chance. Thanks for celebrating my husband’s birthday, and thanks too to Giuseppe’s wife for the delicious homemade limoncello! Fantastic trip, book it!

Sherri_H, Apr 2026

Best time on the boat with awesome crew

The island of Capri is gorgeous but the best part of this tour was the boat ride out to the island, cruising around the island looking at caves and the incredible rock formations, the stop for swimming off the boat and the small group singing through the sudden rain storm on the way back to sorrento. Rafaela and her co-captain (he was awesome but I didn’t catch his name) were the best guides- helpful, fun and always making sure our group was having fun. Highly recommend!!

While Blue Grotto was...

While Blue Grotto was closed on the day of my visit, Marcella was a wonderful tour guide. She was full of energy and help us get an idea of the island of Capri. During the tour she would point out important structures and their importance in history of pop culture. And when we would have free time to wander, she gave us options that were her favorite to visits which helped in some places! I would very much recommend this tour!
