Malta · BLUE GROTTO TOURS
The caves under Wied iz-Zurrieq only take small open boats and only in calm water, so the sea decides more than the operator does. These 6 tours all get you to the jetty; where they differ is what else the morning holds. Priced, timed and clear on the crossing.
Visit Malta’s Blue Grotto and Marsaxlokk Sunday Market on a practical half-day tour with hotel pickup and an optional boat ride.

Visit Marsaxlokk, the Blue Grotto, and Qrendi on a four-hour Malta tour with hotel pickup, a guide, and an optional boat ride.
“Our guide Chantelle was amazing. Very friendly, funny and gave so much information. Very helpful! The driver (didn't quite catch his name) was also lovely. Had a lovely trip. Stopped at the Blue Grotto which was really windy but great to see. We only stopped for 10 minutes here but I'd rather have spent more time here, despite the wind, than in Qrendi. We spent ages here on a walking tour around the tiny town. We then only had about 1hr 20mins in Marsaxlokk which was just enough to get some food after spending too much time in a very long queue for 3 ladies toilets, only 2 of which…”

“Too much waiting time to change the bus, the blue grotto is not included in the price (8€/person). There wasn't any market this day. We basically just went on a bus ride for 4 hours.”
Review of Malta’s Blue Grotto and Marsaxlokk tour from Valletta, with boat costs, market time, pickup tips, weather risks, and value advice.
“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…”
