If you're aboard a speedboat or a motorboat you can, however, still view the caves from the outside. Visitors can see the Blue Grotto from the inside by boarding a small two-seater rowboat. Your motorboat will stop offshore and then you'll board a rowboat, which is the only type of boat allowed to enter the Blue Grotto.
