- Blue Lagoon - As we cruise along the coastline, you’ll enjoy stunning views of the Maltese shoreline. Our smaller boat allows us to enter caves at no additional cost, giving you the chance to take photos inside. Your first stop will be the renowned Blue Lagoon in Comino, where you can swim, snorkel, and dive into the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Once docked at Comino, you can dive and jump from the boat or explore the island on foot. A snack bar is available onboard for purchasing food and drinks, and there are toilet facilities as well.
- Island of Gozo - After spending an hour on Comino, you’ll board The Mermaid and cruise to your second stop, Mgarr Harbour in Gozo. As the boat enters the harbour, have your cameras ready to capture the breathtaking views of the Island of Gozo. You’ll have free time to explore and immerse yourself in Gozitan culture. At the designated time, The Mermaid will be ready in the harbour to continue your cruise. On the return journey to Malta, the boat will sail through the Comino channel, offering views of more beautiful caves, either Crystal Lagoon Caves or St Mary’s Caves, depending on the weather, before stopping at your next destination.
- St Paul’s Islands - The final stop is at the historic St Paul’s Islands for 30 minutes. You’ll have the chance to swim one last time or hike up to see the statue of St Paul on the secluded island. The captain will sound the horn, signaling it’s time to return to Malta. On the way back, you can enjoy views of the Maltese coastline and the charming town of Bugibba. We will arrive back at 5 pm, concluding your delightful day on The Mermaid.

Wish I could give this more than 5 stars!!! - From start to finish this was a great, relaxing experience.
Very good value for money, it cost us €54 for 2 of us for a 7 hour cruise.
Beautiful scenery, friendly and knowledgeable crew, chilled reggae music for the whole trip which just added to the sun, sea and relaxing.
Just a shame we didn't get longer in Gozo to explore more but guess we can add that to our 'to do list' for future holidays.

Amazing trip - Amazing boat trip in Malta. The views of the coastline and crystal-clear waters were breathtaking. We stopped at the Blue Lagoon for a swim, then went to Gozo and St. Paul Island. The crew was fantastic. A perfect way to see Malta from the sea!

Not a bad trip - I would give this trip 3.5 stars if I could captain excellent however trip was broken up and you had the choice of blue lagoon 1 hr or all day or Gozo with chargeable coach for a bigger experience on blue lagoon fun by the boat . You still very much a spot up tour you get about 15 mins at the caves on the way back and 25 mins on St Paul’s island which gives you enough time to either swim or visit the monument l. It’s not a bad trip. Did it blow me away not really
Staff were good with chargeable drinks on board

Pass your way - The boat allows us to make different stops, starting with the blue lagoon. The blue lagoon offers a beautiful setting with turquoise water. The place is unfortunately overcrowded with tourists and distorted by the many food stalls. The water is very polluted and you will not come across fish. In short, if you want an "instagrammable" photo, the blue lagoon will meet your need. If not, it is not worth the visit. There are many other places as beautiful to see in Malta. The second stop is at Gozo Island for about 1h30 stop. This leaves very little time to visit the capital (Victoria) which is 20min by bus, and to eat. Personally, we have seen almost nothing from the island, which is a bit of a shame. The third and final stop is Saint Paul Island, for about twenty minutes. Perhaps the most interesting stop after all...

Slow boat and Blue Lagoon is overrated - The boat was very slow. It was a very hot day, and I really could have done with a breeze. But no, we chugged along.
The Blue Lagoon was to me just like any other beach. But crowded. The crew did warn us to go further around the path to find more secluded spots to swim, but to be honest, it was so damn hot, we just went it at the first bay.
There is no shade at all.

Do Not Book This Tour - If I could give this tour a zero I would as I don’t know what it would have been like since we didn’t get to go. We were staying in Valletta, which isn’t particularly close to the tour marina. We hired a driver to take us. It happened that on the day of our tour the only road to the marina was closed and traffic was almost at a standstill. As we inched closer our driver called the boat to tell them of our location, which by this time was fairly close. Our driver explained that the road was closed but we would be there and the boat operator told our driver that he was aware of the traffic but he was leaving at 10:00 and too bad if we weren’t there. Our driver was appalled at his attitude and told us how rude he was. We arrived at the dock at 10:05 and, sure enough, the boat was long gone - even though they knew we were close. So, through no fault of our own, we lost out on the tour as well as our money. Our driver was so angry at the operator’s attitude that he suggested an alternate experience and drove us there at no charge.
DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR unless you are staying within walking distance of the boat. Actually, do not book this tour.

Choose another boat - The boat left earlier than the designated time leaving us stranded at Blue Lagoon. Very unprofessional and bad attitude of the captain. Treated as a number. Just choose another boat.
