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.

What are people saying about Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra)

Capri & Blue Grotto Semi Private Boat Day Trip from Sorrento

Laura_G, Jun 2026

We got picked up a short...

We got picked up a short walking distance (2 minutes) from our hotel and was right on time. SUV was very nice and had air conditioning. Drove us to the marina and check in was a breeze. Boat was clean and Captain Fulvio was very accommodating. Lunch and lots of drinks were provided as well as a fruit cup on the way back. We were able to get in to the Blue Grotto which was very cool. Got to swim a few different places to cool off and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Overall, great tour!

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.

MBS tours is the way to go

Four hours was the perfect amount of time for us. We knew Capri would be very busy and just wanted to enjoy the boat and the views. Our boat driver was wonderful. We WERE able to see the blue grotto, but was disappointed with the guy that brought us through the grotto. He was very pushy and insisting that we give him a good tip for the 2 minutes we were in there. YES, it’s blue… but not sure I’d say it’s worth the hour wait to get in.

Thomas_H, Jun 2026

My only complaint was...

My only complaint was that meeting spot with the operator was very confusing since we do not speak Italian. He should have been carrying a flag or something to identify himself because there are so many different tour operators at the same starting point. Once we got under way the tour went very smooth. The tour guide took his time explaining everything in detail & we had a very good time.

Excellent tour guide

Michele was an excellent tour guide, he was very organized and explained everything very clearly. He timed our visits perfectly, got us up to Anacapri with no lines to take the funicular and then got us to the Blue Grotto with a very short wait time. We got to see it all in one day, perfecto, thank you very much!

Our thanks to Luigi who introduced us to Capri's wonders. The day was full of activities but at no time did we feel rushed. Luigi managed the group and coordinated all activities and transport so seamlessly and efficiently and we even managed to squeeze in an extra boat tour around the island.
