Blue Grotto Boat Service — Attraction in Qrendi

I recommend that you call before you go as they will not be open if conditions are bad for boats.

Tickets for the boat tour (15-20 mins, €8 adults €4 kids CASH ONLY) can be purchased at the kiosk by the water. There is only one company running this tour and there's no need to pre-book - even at peak times they've got this people-in, people-out down thing pat.

The boat tour itself is nothing special, but it's really the only way to see the Blue Grotto (there are other routes that leave from different parts of the island). It's pretty much exactly what you'd expect for €8 and 20 minutes - drive out, take some photos, come back. I'd recommend sitting at the front of the boat for the best views.

It's pretty safe to take your phones for photos and videos. There's not much splashing and safety-wise, lifejackets are provided for everyone on the boat.

On clear, sunny days, the water is an electric blue. Locals say that it is best to go before 12 noon to see the ocean at its bluest. Car parking is available a few hundred metres away and a small gratuity is payable to the man from...

I recently had an unforgettable experience on the Blue Grotto boat tour in Malta, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the island! For just €10 (cash only), you get a 15-20-minute journey through stunning caves and crystal-clear waters, making it a fair price but quite expensive.

The tour itself is absolutely mesmerizing. The vibrant colors of the water—shimmering shades of blue and turquoise—combined with the dramatic cliffs and caves, create a magical atmosphere. The boat captains are friendly and knowledgeable, pointing out various rock formations and explaining the history and significance of the area. However, most of the narration was in Italian.

The highlight was entering the Blue Grotto itself, where the sunlight hitting the water turned the whole cave into a glowing blue spectacle. It’s truly a sight that photos don’t do justice to—you need to experience it in person!

Overall, this boat tour is a must-do while in Malta. It’s well-organized, some what affordable, and delivers a fantastic...

It's a bit of a tourist trap, but hey .. what did you expect. The thing that annoyed me though were the people in this place and how they try to squeeze the last penny from the tourists. The tickets are 10 euro for a 20 minute ride through a few caves while the boatman shouts out things in various languages. He's got 10 people in his boat and can easily do 2 rides per hour. You can do the math of the revenue per hour ... but still, the tickets say that 'the boatmen appreciate a tip'. You gotta be kidding. At the PUBLIC toilet the guy is pulling the common trick of putting a bunch of 1 euro coins in in a box to make it look like that's what everybody is paying. And I haven't even mentioned the aggresive wannabe parking attentdant at the free public parking that is harrassing people. Read the reviews of the nearby parking for some horror stories. I can't believe that the local people allow this guy to give visitors such a bad experience. But then again, maybe they are made from the...
