Includes

Private bus transportation to and from the Blue Grotto Sea cave boat ride (20 minutes) Full team support, coordination, and guided experience

Important Information

  • 1) The sea cave boat tour itself lasts around 20 minutes; the rest of the trip includes transport, walk or hike and free time — the tour is not all spent at sea. 2) Delays in transport can occasionally happen (though rarely). We plan everything to the minute, but traffic and road conditions in Malta are unfortunately beyond our control. 3) This tour doesn’t include a formal historical explanation or guided presentation, as it’s not a heritage site like Valletta but 'just' a natural site. Our team will gladly share general information and assist throughout the experience, but the focus is on the natural beauty of the trip.
