Highlights
- 24 Triq San Geraldu - Join us for an unforgettable day tour starting at 10am and returning at 5pm. With Captain Kevin and his crew, we’ll showcase the beauty of this charming little island. Our journey begins at 10am with a touch of religious history as we pass by St. Paul’s Island, where he was shipwrecked. A statue in his honor now stands in the middle of this tiny island.
- Mellieha - We’ll cruise past Malta’s largest beach, Mellieha Bay, and venture into Ahrax Cave for some fantastic photo opportunities. Before crossing the Comino South Channel, we’ll glide by the popular tourist spot, Coral Cove.
- Comino - As we navigate past Ahrax Point, you’ll get a clear view of Comino Island, the smallest of the three islands at just 1.4 square miles. We’ll circle Comino, taking in its high cliffs and magical rock formations like the ‘Elephant’s Head.’
- Blue Lagoon - The highlight of the tour, often called Paradise on Earth by travelers, is the stunning BLUE LAGOON on Comino Island. Enjoy our prime mooring spot and spend your time on the boat, away from the crowded beach. You can jump, swim, and slide into the crystal-clear turquoise waters. Relax on the upper sun deck or the spacious shaded main deck. If you get hungry, our onboard cafeteria offers reasonably priced snacks. While our boat may not be the newest, it has all the amenities you need for a day at sea. Use the boat as your base to freely explore Comino Island, and return for the bar, cafeteria, washrooms, or other facilities. With over 4 hours here, you’re sure to have an amazing time.
- Crystal Lagoon - As we cruise the South Channel of Comino, we’ll enter the Crystal Lagoon, a favorite among divers for its deeper waters. This bay is also accessible by foot from the Blue Lagoon, where we’ll be moored for 4.5 hours. A short 8-minute walk will bring you here, where you can snorkel, swim, or even cliff jump if you’re feeling adventurous. Depending on weather conditions, this site may be visited either on the way to Comino or on the return trip to Malta.
- St. Mary’s Tower - Built in 1618 to defend Comino Island, we’ll pass by the Santa Maria Tower, one of the few buildings on the island. This picturesque site is also known for its role as the Chateau D’If prison in the film “The Count of Monte Cristo.”
- Hornblower Cruises Malta - We’ll return at 5pm.

Superb day - We swam in the turquoise waters. A real joy. Stops to admire
the caves. Everything was perfect. I recommend especially in September to swim in the very popular blue lagoon but you just have to get a little away from the edge to be quiet.

Loved the Cruise (Blue Lagoon and Speed boat to the Caves) - This was an excellent tour - the check-in was professional and fast. Add-On options where offered during check-in. The boat ride to Comino was pleasant and good commendatory on the way. The Blue Lagoon was a most amazing experience. As was the ride to the caves with a lively and extremely pleasant guide. The bus tour to Gozo was not so amazing mainly due to the lack of enthusiasm of the driver.

Speed boat - The speed boat was ridiculous the lad driving thought he was a racing driver !! Now I know we chose to go on the speed boat and am quite aware of their speed in the water but to be thrown from side to side at high speed nearly being thrown out of the boat an him thinking it funny !! I am a woman in my fifties an other tourists on the boat were also not impressed also when asked to move to the back of the boat my request was ignored the driver was an absolute idiot the rest of the trip is worth the money an have no other complaints

Experience while on the ferry to Comino and Blue Lagoon - The views are fascinating. We enjoyed the Ferry ride.
However, we have one comment, we paid for the ticket for Comino, Blue Lagoon and Caves Cruise. When we get to Blue Lagoon we were not taken to Caves Cruise. I asked one of the Crews and was told that the sea is wavy so we didn’t benefit fully from the ticket that we paid for. We suppose to get refunded of the ticket for the caves cruise

Dissapointed - Comino island is beautiful but extremely busy in August, I really think the amount of day trippers makes it a, safety issue could be dangerous if you accidentally slipped that's my view but out of season when not so busy potentially alot better
