Super nice cruise! - Really enjoyed the trip! Nice staff that will help, you can be on the boat enjoying the water without the need to go on the island that is loaded with people everywhere, it's more quiet to stay on the boat. You also have the opportunitty to go on a speedboat which I also recommend. Thank you from having us, love from Portugal and Spain

Wonderful experience! Thank you! - This trip was so much fun and good value. I loved the guide’s explanation of the sights along the way. The pineapple drink is cute and fun and value to refill. We took the speedboat trip which was great and we got to explore the caves. We walked to Santa Maria bay 20 mins away which was a lot quieter and calmer. The blue lagoon is a wonder! I would definitely recommend this trip while visiting Malta. You are also one of the first boats to the lagoon.

Solo American - Great boat, staff & route! I was traveling solo and never felt unsafe. The staff was nice and informative about locations history & boat times. And the music was great! This was the highlight of my Malta trip.

Fab day out, would recommend and would go again if we revisited Malta! - We had an excellent day out and would recommend to everyone to try it! We got there an hour early and already the top deck was full so be sure to get there more than an hour early if you want a deck chair or to lay down on artificial grass! Downstairs is seating which is fine but obviously shaded (nice for on the way back). We chose option B to go to the blue lagoon and Gozo which I highly recommend if you like sight seeing and to visit the citadela which was stunning and had amazing little shops. Plenty of time for an afternoons visit. Just a tip the bus to get here is €5 per person which we didn’t know until we got on the bus and it is essential if you want to get to the city of Victoria. The boat had amazing cocktails in pineapples for €10 with alcohol and then €5 refills! Bargain when sharing. The slide was great fun and you can jump off the top deck in the blue lagoon. It’s a grand day out and competitively priced with other boats. It also had a great playlist which wasn’t blasted in your face and turn it into a booze cruise at all so perfect for families. Only downside was the top deck got absolutely rammed and people were trying to squeeze in every gap which made the journey out somewhat uncomfortable… either fill the boat up with deckchairs or refuse entry when the grass is full.

Colours of Comino - The colours of Comino Island are beautiful at the blue Lagoon, we opted for a local short and pleasant boat ride from Gozo Maggr harbour , (not an excursion )there are regular departures daily or private boat hire available, Not much of a beach ! It’s covered with parasols & lounge chairs for hire , we opted to walk around and explore and swim in the crystal blue warm waters, it’s a lovely little boat trip to while away a few hours , We Loved our holiday on the Gorgeous Island of Gozo ❤️🫶🏽

No concern for safety! Just money hungry - Ship review I cannot stress how bad this was. The conditions on the sea were very windy and wavy. I had messaged the day before asking if the conditions would be safe/good (they never replied). We get there and they tell us we will only spend 1hr and 30mins at the blue lagoon and comino and then they would bring us to Gozo and for an ADDITIONAL €5 per person they would bring us on a bus to Victoria and another place in Gozo. We decided not to opt for the extra charge, we then disembarked for the most ridiculous, stormy and wavy conditions I have ever been on a boat in. It was so wavy the boat was going side to side, it was insane. There was huge spray and splashing on the boat. It felt so unsafe, and there was not ONE other boat on the water. Everything else was cancelled in the area except the giant ferry’s that bring people to and from Gozo and Malta. We get to the Blue Lagoon and we were told how lucky we were because we were the only people there that day, however, the conditions were so wavy and it was full of jellyfish. This isn’t the fault of the tour operator, BUT every other tour operator in the area had cancelled and issued refunds (they were too cheap to cancel). We just sat on the boat in the freezing cold wind for an hour and a half. The captain was also encouraging people to jump off the top deck, keep in mind that people had been drinking from the bar below deck and the winds were 50km. He kept saying it was “at your own risk” but there was no concern for anyones safety. After this we disembarked to Gozo, at this point the sea conditions were absolutely horrific and the deck began to flood. There were times the boat was almost completely on its side. If we had been given ANY warning I wouldn’t be writing this review but we were completely blindsided. I have never felt so unsafe on a boat before. The weather conditions are not the fault of a tour operator but it is their fault that they 1. Never responded to my message asking if it was good conditions 2. Never warning us 3. Not giving the option of a refund 4. Bringing us for something completely different and charging us EXTRA for basic transport In the end we paid for the proper ferry back to the mainland as there was no way we were getting on that boat again. I will absolutely be looking for a refund for this, I can’t believe we paid €60 for one of the worst travelling experiences I have ever had
