Continue through Comino’s north channel, passing the Elephant’s Head rock formation, Santa Maria Cave, Santa Maria Bay, and St. Nicholas Bay. After about one hour, arrive at the famous Blue Lagoon, where the boat moors for 1 hour 30 minutes. Swim in crystal-clear waters, relax on deck, or explore the island. Onboard facilities include sun decks with complimentary deck chairs (first come, first served), shaded seating, an air-conditioned lower deck, toilets, and a cafeteria serving hot and cold beverages.

Continuing along Malta’s northern coastline, we pass Mellieħa Bay (Għadira Bay), the islands’ largest sandy beach. Shortly after, the captain carefully approaches the impressive Ahrax Cave, steering close to its entrance for fantastic photo opportunities and a closer look at its natural rock formations.

Pass by

We stop at the world-famous Blue Lagoon for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. Here, you can swim and snorkel in crystal-clear turquoise waters, relax on deck, or soak up the sun beside one of Malta’s most iconic swimming spots. For those feeling adventurous, make a splash using the 10-metre waterslide directly into the lagoon’s clear waters.

90 min

After approximately one hour of cruising, we arrive at the stunning Blue Lagoon. We aim to arrive early to maximise your time in its crystal-clear turquoise waters. Thanks to our excellent mooring position, you can enjoy swimming, jumping, and sliding directly into the lagoon away from the busiest shoreline areas. Relax on the upper sun deck, unwind in shaded seating, or use the boat as your comfortable base while exploring Comino Island. Onboard facilities, including washrooms and a cafeteria serving food and drinks, remain available throughout the stop. We stay here for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. Please remember to download your free landing pass from www.blcomino.com before arrival.

Pass by

After your stop at the Blue Lagoon, we continue to Gozo’s main port, Mġarr Harbour. Here, you’ll enjoy approximately 3 hours to explore the island at your own pace. You may choose to discover Gozo independently using local transport or spend time relaxing around the harbour area. For those who prefer a structured visit, an optional shuttle transfer (€5 per person) is available. This includes approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes in Victoria, Gozo’s capital city — ideal for exploring the Citadel, browsing local shops, or enjoying a meal — followed by a short scenic stop at a panoramic viewpoint for memorable photos of the island. Please note that travel time between stops is included within the 3-hour visit.

90 min

Located within Victoria, the historic Citadel is one of Gozo’s most iconic landmarks. This fortified hilltop offers breathtaking panoramic views across the island and surrounding sea. Wander through its ancient stone walls, small museums, and quiet alleyways for a glimpse into Gozo’s rich history.

Guests choosing the optional shuttle transfer (€5 per person) will enjoy approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes in Victoria, Gozo’s lively capital. Here, you can explore charming streets, browse local shops, visit cafés, or simply soak up the island’s relaxed atmosphere.

Pass by

As we cruise through Comino’s south channel toward the Blue Lagoon, we pass the striking Crystal Lagoon, known for its dramatic cliffs and deep, clear waters that attract divers and snorkelers. From the boat, you’ll enjoy close-up views of its beautiful sea caves and rock formations — perfect for photos — before continuing toward our main swim stop at the Blue Lagoon. Crystal Lagoon is also accessible on foot from the Blue Lagoon, just a short walk across the island for those who wish to explore further.

Busy

Too busy don’t bother you can’t sit down anywhere

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback. 💙 We understand that Comino can become very busy during the peak summer months. This is why we let our guests know that they are very welcome to remain onboard, where there is plenty of seating and space to relax, sunbathe and swim directly from the boat. We hope you were still able to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and take home some lovely memories of your day.

Nice day out , clean water and facilities

It was good day but had higher expectations for the cove we swam in.

Must do trip

The boat was a little worn, but all went to schedule. The boat had plenty of snacks and drinks for sale and even swim equipment to rent or buy. Theres an optional speedboat trip to local caves which was very enjoyable.

A boat day to remember

Kevin and his family did an amazing job hosting this experience. First of all he’s an incredibly talented captain who was not afraid to get VERY up close to the caves. The lagoon was perfect in every way. The drink and food selection on the boat was great and decently affordable considering. Overall we had an amazing day cruising between the islands, drinking out of pineapples, speed boating through caves and taking in the beauty Malta offers. If you’re interested in securing a chair on the top deck I recommend you get there as early as possible.

Operator response

Thank you so much for this fantastic review! 💙 We're thrilled you had such an amazing day with Captain Kevin and the family. From getting up close to the caves and racing through them by speedboat to enjoying the Blue Lagoon with a pineapple cocktail in hand 🍍it sounds like you truly made the most of it! Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you onboard again! Captain Kevin and the Crew ⚓
