Where to Go: the 15 Best Blue Cave and Grotto Tours Worldwide

Blue caves work on physics and a timetable. Light enters underwater, bounces off pale rock and comes back up through the water as neon, which only happens for an hour or two around midday in flat sea. The 15 here are ranked with departure times and cancellation odds in plain sight.

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 3,170 reviews · from $143

Review of Sorrento’s small-group Capri boat tour, with snorkeling, free time, optional Blue Grotto visit, drinks, and limoncello.

“This was the highlight of our trip! The boat tour felt so luxurious and exclusive, well worth the money. The views from the boat are incredible as you approach Capri. If you’re the first 6 on the boat you have the option to sit at the front of the boat, which I’d recommend for the journey into capri! The blue grotto is stunning inside and although €18 is alot for 6 minutes inside the grotto, it’s a once in a lifetime experience. You do have to go through quite a narrow opening to get into the grotto though, so if you’re not good with small spaces it may not be…”

Review of Trogir’s Blue Cave and five-island speedboat tour, with Hvar, Komiža, snorkeling, costs, timing, and practical advice.

“Wow! What an amazing day. I was a solo person on a full speedboat trip with Lucy as our guide and 'Z' as our skipper. The places we visited were stunning, especially Vis and Hvar. Personally a bit disappointed with the Blue Lagoon but that's due to me not wanting to snorkel and the beach bar not being open - I think because it's not high season yet. And that was a minor issue which definitely did not detract from the whole trip. The most exciting part for me was the speedboat ride itself. 'Z' was an accomplished skipper who knew how to give his passengers a fun time. A…”

“Simply fantastic experience that exceeded my expectations. It is unfortunate that we were not able to visit the Blue Caves because of high waves, however the skipper Luca did his absolute best to bring us other things to see and visit. He is definitely one of the best and passionate guides/ skippers out there and also honest in his suggestions. I am looking forward to coming again for the Blue Caves and would absolutely take Luca as our guide again if possible!”
