- Blue Lagoon - After boarding at 9:30 am at Bugibba Jetty, the boat departs at 10:30 am for a full-day cruise. As we cruise towards Comino, you’ll enjoy stunning views of the Maltese coastline. Our smaller boat allows us to enter the caves at no extra cost. The first stop is 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. For lunch, there’s a snack bar onboard where you can buy food and drinks. Toilet facilities are available. On our return to Malta, the boat sails through the Comino channel, showcasing more beautiful caves such as St Mary’s Caves or Crystal Lagoon Caves, depending on the weather.
- St Paul’s Islands - The final stop is at the historic and secluded St Paul’s Islands for a 30-minute visit. It’s the perfect time for a last swim or a walk to see the statue of St Paul. We return to Bugibba, Malta at 5 pm, concluding your delightful day on the Mermaid.

I keep coming back to this tour - Amazing tour with lots of interesting and beautiful sights.
The crew is very pleasant and friendly, the boat ride is really enjoyable and the blue lagoon is to die for.
I visit Malta every year and never miss the opportunity to take this tour with Mermaid.

Fantastic please do it you won’t regret - Both the captain and Robbie was fantastic. There service was excellent and always made sure we was happy. They even stayed very calm with rude people shouting at them for not reading the service they provide properly. The captain not only maintained a very nice and clean boat he made sure to let the other boats know they need to fix the position to not damage the bay. Family or couples or lads holiday I would highly recommend this boat trip.

Excellent - Lovely trip with lovely crew everything was perfect.
I wish there was more time in Blue lagoon and less time in Gozo. Blue lagoon was breathtaking and beautiful place. The water was crystal clear we saw some dolphins on the way back which was amazing 🤩

A great day - A great day out in a sea! Blue lagoon is so clear and beautiful (though very very crowded), bring a beach shoes because the cliff is rocky and slippery, the caves are cool and St. Paul island is a nice end to the day as you can have one last dip on the sea from the boat

Lovely day at sea - Really enjoyed this boat cruise with Mermaid. The captain was very friendly and kind as was his skipper and their confidence and calm demeanour went a long way to helping us relax.
The cruise itself is smooth, if long; but if you get a good seat, it's comfy and you can take in the sea views. Travelling with two young children meant they fell asleep on the way but that was okay.
We spent a good three hours at Comino and it was the best time. Leaving to see the caves and st Paul's islands was smooth and easy, and by 5 we were back in Bugibba. Having forgotten an item onboard, the captain kindly rang me and I was able to dash back before going too far away from the bay. Really a kind gesture.
I'd recommend this tour any day; it really is a lovely day out at sea.

Fun day out for family and friends ☀️ - Great day out! Great price for what you get, got to the blue lagoon for about 11am (set off at 10ish from St Paul’s bay) and got picked back up at 2.30pm, then get taken to St Mary’s cave where you can take pictures at not extra cost and boat is small enough to go inside the caves (you don’t get to swim in them though) then get taken to St Paul’s island where you can swim, jump off the boat, go and have a walk around the island and see the statue ( although this is only about an hours stop). Very for filling, long day (7hrs in total!) so great value for money! Boat is fairly busy with other guests but much quieter than some of the other boat trips. (Make sure you are on time to get the boat back as they will probably leave without you if not). Also seating in the shade is limited on the boat we had to sit upstairs so make sure you wear plenty of suncream or if you want the shaded seats arrive early to board!
Cash only for refreshments on the boat, all refreshments are very cheap E.g. €2 for a soft drink. Captain and crew were very friendly and brought round pineapples for a snack on the way back 😋 and gave good information about the stops. Music was playing throughout the journey which was nice.
The boat is fairly slow so did take about an hour to get from place to place.

Prima - Nice trip with plenty of explanation.
Boat is neat with ample seating space.
Had plenty of time to enjoy the Blue Lagoon, where it was terribly busy and touristy.
Visiting Blue Lagoon is not recommended for people with poor mobility. Only passable by climbing rock faces
