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.

Capri Blue Grotto Small-Group Boat Day Tour From Sorrento

Marcela_T, Jun 2026

Bravo Enrico and Teresa!

Enrico and Teresa are the best, they were very helpful, attentive and knowledgeable. The Yatch is very nice and clean, we only wait 20 minutes to get into the Blue Grotto. Swimming was amazing, we got drinks and a nice fresh fruit display.

Roberto and Jack were great, Jack even hopped to another boat that was having some issues. The only disappointing thing was we didn’t go into the Blue Grotto, they said the wait was 2 hours, I wish we got there earlier

Such an incredible experience. Expect to wait in line for the blue grotto for a few hours though. The boat tour was our favorite part definitely worth the 25e!

Pretty easy to find the...

Pretty easy to find the operators office even though the number was a little off from the one posted in the instructions. The line at the dock was also fairly easy to navigate. The tour around the island was great. The narration from the guide was in English and Italian, and very informative. Unfortunately the blue grotto was not available that morning but we were prepared for the eventuality.
