Highlights
  • Hondoq Bay - This is our usual starting point for the Comino tour. Please note that it may change due to weather or other factors. Please read your messages before the tour and contact us if in doubt.

Here, we will set you up with the equipment and make sure you are comfortable in your kayak. You’ll meet your guide and do a safety briefing. Then we set you on your way!

  • Gozo Channel - We generally start with a short paddle along the Gozo coastline to get comfortable in our kayaks before our journey takes us across the Gozo Channel to Comino! The crossing usually takes about 20min and is approx. 800m at the narrowest point. This is where the adventure really gets started!
  • Blue Lagoon - We have two basic Comino routes and on the half-day tours we choose one of them based on the weather conditions and busyness on the water! The first option is on the beautiful Blue Lagoon side of Comino. We spend about 2.5 hours out on the water in total, and in that time, we pass by/enter a number of gorgeous caves and bays. It’s awesome! For the break of about 30 minutes, we stop in or nearby the Blue Lagoon. In this time you can swim, explore or just relax if you would like. If we cannot land nearby we will be sure to kayak into the first part of the Blue Lagoon so you can enjoy it from the water!
  • Santa Marija Bay - The second option is on the fantastic Santa Marija Caves side of Comino. We pass by and explore a number of gorgeous and some enormous caves, check out an Instagram-worthy archway and a tunnel as well as millennia-old rock formations. It is breathtaking! For the break of about 30 minutes, we generally stop off at the Santa Marija Bay, Urchins Bay or Daćlet il-Ħmara. In this time you can swim, explore or just relax. Please note that this is an unguided part of the tour.
  • San Niklaw Bay - Hidden around the corner from San Niklaw Bay is our favourite swimming spot. It is a hidden gorge only easily accessible by water. We lovingly refer to it as Urchin’s Bay and it contains a wealth of marine life!
  • Santa Maria Caves - The Santa Maria Caves are found in the tall cliffs nestling on the east coast of Comino. Your tour will include the infamous Smuggler’s Cave and others!

Please understand that all our tours are weather-dependent and not all areas may be accessible. Also, the Comino tours are not always possible due to winds or other factors. The tours are subject to a location change. If so, we will notify you before the tour, so always check your messages and feel free to contact us if you are in doubt.

Really fun tour - We had a lovely sea kayaking tour with Frank as our guide. He was friendly from the get go and we were very impressed at how he instantly remembered all of the names of the people on our tour. We felt safe throughout and Frank regularly checked how everyone was feeling. I liked that the tour didn't stop at the blue lagoon as, although pretty, was very overcrowded. We instead stopped at some lovely spots along Comino island and got some time to swim at one of them. Overall, we had a fab afternoon.

A Once In A Lifetime Experience!! - Viv was an awesome guide who interacted with us. She was right in the water with us explaining how to maneuver the caves. Also giving us brief history about structures along the coast. I would highly recommend Viv to anyone who would like to go kayaking with your company

A Must-Do Family Kayaking Adventure in Malta! - My two teenagers and I had a wonderful adventure with kayaking! Our tour guide, Laura, was a fantastic instructor. We were in a small group with another family of four, and everyone felt comfortable and enjoyed visiting beautiful swim spots, including blue lagoons and small caves. Laura even took lots of photos and videos to share with us right after the tour. All the other staff were very friendly, kind, and helpful. We stayed in Malta for one week, but this was definitely the best experience of our vacation. Thanks again, and we look forward to another day out there!

Fun and relaxing afternoon excursion - It was a really cool trip. Laura, our guide, entertained us very well, shared a lot of information and just created a cool atmosphere. We had a lot of time at various bathing spots and could enjoy it accordingly. You felt well looked after the whole tour. Me and my sisters would absolutely recommend it!
