Some useful information before the tour:
*** The entrance at the Blue Grotto is subject to weather conditions and the payment for the tickets of 18,00 each is accepted ONLY in cash outside the Blue Grotto. During the peak season, due to the high number of visitors, the waiting time to enter the Blue Grotto may be up to 1 hour and 30 minutes. Blue Grotto staff usually ask visitors for a tip, which, however, is not mandatory.
*** The snorkeling equipment will not be provided on board (it is advisable for customers to bring their own, or to buy it new in the office: 15 mask, 9 snorkel, or 20,00 for both).
