The best day - Excellent trip- lovely staff, nice quiet, clean boat, not too many people, plenty of room to sit where you wanted or have a wander around. Went a bit earlier than most trips so saw the blue lagoon without the mass of tourists ( very expensive sunbeds there and nowhere else to sit) went to the caves and at Paul’s island. Minibus to Gozo’s capital clean and on time. A fab day !

Excellent trip and fantastic value. Totally recommend this experience. 5 stars ***** - We booked this trip for the 28th Sept on our Holiday in Malta. We picked it because it was a smaller size boat but still big enough to move around. It held around 35-40 people and had a toilet and bar on board. We had plenty of room and able to move to take photos. We headed out at spot on 10:00am and headed to Comino and the blue Lagoon. Stoped at the Blue Lagoon for about 90 mins and I hire snorkel from the captain of the boat (€5 +5 deposit) and was able to see some great fish just off shore. We had take to option of going on to Gozo and we set off for there after a while. The captain arranged a bus for those who wanted it to go to the centre of the island and the capital of Gozo, Victoria. €6 return each. We took this option as well and had over two hours around Victoria. On the way back we stopped again for about an hour in a bay on St Pauls Island for some more swimming and snorkelling. The bar on board served tea, coffee, beer, wine and spirits all at a very reasonable cost. Speaking of cost .... this trip cost €30 each and was the best value on the island. It was well organised and the crew were great looking after us. Our son has Downs and some mobility issues and Robbie, the deck hand was brilliant with him. The total trip was 7 hours with the return at 17:00 and we had one of the best days of our holiday on this cruise. Fantastic from start to finish. GO! :)

Good day out - The trip on this medium sized boat was very good value. Drinks available on board (& a loo) - some shaded space provided. The captain was very charming & his small crew helpful & efficient. The Blue Lagoon is very crowded so better to swim near the boat than try to find a spot on the tiny beach. There are a couple of places to eat near the harbour in Gozo but not too much else to see or do. We walked up the hill to the church and found a small rocky cove at the back of a car park to swim in. There is an optional extra of a short bus ride to Victoria to see the shops. The limestone caves are quite impressive but not deep.

Great tour! - Great our, really enjoyed it. It's a small boat so you will go a bit slower but I wanted it chill so it was nice. We were about 40 people and the boat has a bathroom and they sell some drinks. We visited the Blue Lagoon, Gozo with bus, some caves, and St Paul's Island on the way. We always left right on time and the bus in Gozo to Victoria was definitely worth it. The time there was enough for me, maybe a bit short, but I also didn't go into any museum or anything. Overall, great experience. I'm glad I only had a short stop at the Blue Lagoon because it's definitely overrun by tourists.

Great experience! The bus... - Great experience! The bus was definitely worth it to make it to Victoria on Gozo and explore the Citadel and the main plaza. Time felt about right for not going into any museums and just walking around, otherwise, you might want a bit more time on Gozo. The boat leaves right on time which I really liked, regardless if people make it or not (their problem). The boat is small and we were about 40 people so it takes a bit to go from island to island. If you want a faster right, that might be not the tour for you but I looked for a chill experience so I really enjoyed it. The Blue Lagoon is very overun and I'm glad I went on to Gozo and didn't spend all day there. Overall, I can recommend this tour, had a really great time!

Blue lagoon - Despite the large swell it was a good trip and run professionally. We need more time in Victoria. The lagoon was beautiful.
