Malta · BLUE GROTTO TOURS

The 15 Best Blue Grotto Tours in Malta

23 tours  ·  from $34 a head

The caves on the south coast light up in the morning and go flat by lunch, so the departure time matters more than the boat. These 15 pair the grotto with Marsaxlokk or the temples, each priced and honest about swell cancellations.

“I loved the boat trip to the Blue Grotto. I had taken a boat trip to Comino and Gozo the day before and was wondering if it would be worth to do this one but glad I did. Since Marsaxlokk seems to be in that area of the island it would be great to have a combined trip there. Thoug the length of the tour would have to be extended. The guide Mary made the tour much more enjoyable with her clear passionate explanations about archeology. In archeological sites I feel one loses a lot going alone. With Mary I learned a lot of details that I would otherwise miss…”

See Malta’s Blue Grotto, Dingli Cliffs, Mdina, Ta’ Qali, and Mosta in four hours with a private driver and hotel pickup.

“It’s was disappointing that not all places that were on the schedule, we didn’t visit We didn’t get to Rabat or ta Qali, I realise traffic can be an issue, but we booked this 4 hour tour as it covered all the places we wanted to see. It perhaps needs to be changed to 5 hour tour. The places we visited were great and guide was good and knowledgeable , but just very disappointing that we didn’t cover all in the schedule. When booking, I meticulously look at every tour and choose from the list given, this tour DID NOT give us what we actually paid for as detailed schedule…”

See Malta’s Blue Grotto and Marsaxlokk Sunday Market on a four-hour tour with hotel pickup, free time, and an optional boat ride.

“Nice half day visit, excellent guide. The boat trip was not avalaible because of the wind, considering the rather nice weather that day and how windy the island is, it must not often be possible to do it. The market is quite nice with few fish stands though and many tourist booths. A pleasant morning but not outstanding”

Review of Malta’s Blue Grotto and Marsaxlokk half-day tour, with practical advice on timing, boat costs, guides, weather, and value.

“Four of us took this tour. We were picked up on time and proceeded to fill the bus around the island. Linda, our English guide, was very welcoming and accommodating. She lost no time in getting us to the important sites. We had plenty of time to look around, shop for souvenirs, take pictures or grab a snack. At the end of the tour, we asked to be dropped off near the Hypogeum instead of our hotel. This was no problem and we made it to our next tour with time to spare. A great experience! The only thing that needs attention is the volume of the microphone on the…”

A private Malta day tour with local driver Chris, linking Valletta, Marsaxlokk, Blue Grotto, ancient temples, Mdina, and more.

“Chris was a very good driver/guide. He came on time; the car was very clean. He shared tidbits about Malta's history and culture to give us more context of the sites we were visiting. He was also very flexible about rearranging the schedule to allow us to bypass busier attractions and come back to them when there were less visitors. Our group highly recommends Chris.”

“"The sea was angry that day, my friends", so no boat rides at the Blue Grotto, but it was a very pleasant tour. Our guide, whose name I've alas forgotten (a lady from the Netherlands that speaks Dutch, German, English and French) was excellent: just the right quantity of information delivered in a very professional and delightful way!”
