Amalfi Coast · BLUE GROTTO BOAT TOURS

The 15 Best Blue Grotto Boat Tours from the Amalfi Coast

15 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.6 average  ·  from $126

Entry depends on the sea being flat and on a small fleet of rowing boats, so the grotto is the one thing on this coast that can be cancelled on you. These 15 tours are compared on timing, on whether grotto entry is included or paid at the mouth, and on what happens if it is shut.

Small-group Capri boat day from Positano with grotto stops, swimming time, and onboard Prosecco, plus optional Blue Grotto entry.

“Awesome experience! Company was very friendly and made directions very clear. The boat was amazing- not crowded and very comfortable (we saw other boats crammed of passengers, this was so enjoyable where we could relax!). We saw many incredible parts of the Capri island by boat and had plenty of time in Capri to explore. We had plenty of time to swim, got Prosecco for the boat ride home, and had an awesome day! We would highly recommend to anyone who wants to see the island of Capri by boat and by land!”

“Gianluigi helped us to create a very special day and one we wont ever forget! I had booked this boat trip as a surprise for my partners 30th birthday, I also asked if it was possible for a proposal whilst on the boat. Gianluigi couldn't have been more helpful, he helped me to choose the perfect spot (faraglioni of Capri), play my partners favourite song, book a table at the restaurant at marina piccola and even manage to snap some pictures of the special moment. In between all the excitement he also provided a very informative and interesting tour, thanks again!”

Private Capri boat day from Positano or Praiano with Faraglioni, grotto stops, swims, prosecco, and optional Blue Grotto row-boat entry.

“We had a rough start, but it turned into a fun day. Shortly after we left, we ran into a terrible rain and lightning storm that lasted about an hour. The crew seemed very nervous and we finally turned back. However, we then realized that the storm was moving away from us, so we returned to our normal course. We just felt like they might be a little more aware of the weather and more safety conscious. I would highly recommend getting a weather tracking app on your phone and insisting on not going out if it looks like you will be going through a storm. They will refund your…”

Capri by luxury yacht with priority Blue Grotto entry, multiple grotto stops, swims, and about 4 hours in town with Faraglioni views.

“Horribly disappointed after waiting 30 years for this experience and expecting the itinerary that is shown on the map on the tour page. First of all, there is nobody to greet you at the dock (as claimed)- after asking us to be an hour early, we had to walk up and down with our bags to finally find the boat. The map sent to us was incorrect. We were asked to arrive an hour early (8am) to accommodate a family on a cruise ship who showed up over an hour late so we left 10:20. So our "9 hour tour" that claims several stops on an itinerary only went for…”

“My husband and I had a wonderful day! It was relaxing and beautiful. We got to see a lot of wonderful sights including caves! We chose not to stop at the blue grotto or Capri because it was so crowded and we would have wasted our boat time. We got to go swimming in different spots every hour or so. Francesco was a great tour guide! He shared lots of information about what were seeing. My husband, who was originally hesitant about the cost, said that it was a great choice after about 30 minutes in.”

Private boat day from Salerno to Capri, the Amalfi Coast caves, and the Blue Grotto, with early timing and 3 hours on the island.

“Awful. They actually sent 5 of us on a skiff for the day with a skipper who smoked all day. We reserved a small motorboat captained for a day. The skiff was barely able to handle the water and if my family wasn’t from Florida and used to being on the water, we would never had made the day without getting sick. We tried to find another excursion same day but everything was sold out at that last minute. The tour operator had terrible customer service before and during. I would never book again through Trip Advisor or with Amalfi Coast Lovers directly. This was a scam.”

“We requested a full refund. We went down to where they told us to get the ferry over to capri and the ticket booths had no idea about our ferry tickets. I also felt the tour headline was misleading and included tickets to the blue grotto. I found out after I made the purchase in full that the tickets to that were not included in the expensive price. I was informed and willing to overlook, but now that we couldn’t even get the ferry over? Seemed very unorganized. When I contacted the tour guide about not being able to find our ferry tickets, she responded very rudely, that it was…”

She showed us everything in Capri and Ana Capri and was a very gracious host. We had a great experience with her and I would highly recommend her again to all my family and friends, and would use her again the next time we come back to Italy 🇮🇹 she also took many pictures of my family the whole entire time we were there and I provided her my email address. I am anxiously awaiting for the pictures and looking forward to seeing them. Thank…”
