Mellieha: Gozo, Comino, Sea Caves, and Blue Lagoon Cruise
Description
Hop aboard a spacious & comfortable boat at the meeting point in Mellieha. Go past the Comino Tower which was made famous for in the movie "The count of Monte Cristo." Take in how the golden shoreline contrasts with the azure waters as you make your way to the Crystal Lagoon situated on the western side of Comino. See for yourself why this lagoon is known for its incredibly clear and vibrant turquoise waters with a 1 hiur stop to swim, snorkel, and sunbathe. Next, head to the iconic Blue Lagoon where the sunlight penetrates to the shallow, sandy seabed, creating dazzling shades of blue. Spend an hour plus of free time swimming through the waters, looking at fish with the snorkeling gear, or basking in the sun on the shore. Pass by the island of Gozo & visit an area know as the promising rock (Gebla tal Halfa) for approximately 45 minutes. Finally, end your experience with a photo shop at the Santa Maria Caves and Elephant Rock before returning to the port.

Nestled on the northern side of Comino, Santa Marija Bay is one of the island’s most tranquil and scenic coves. It’s often less crowded than the famous Blue Lagoon, making it a peaceful and picturesque stop for sightseeing cruises.
Visit the impressive Santa Maria Caves, one of the highlights of Comino’s coastline. Thanks to the smaller size of the boat, your skipper can take you up close and, when sea conditions allow, inside the caves for a more exciting and memorable experience than larger boats can offer.
On the way back to Ċirkewwa, pass by the striking Elephant Rock, one of Comino’s most recognisable natural landmarks. This beautiful rock formation makes the perfect final photo opportunity and a scenic send-off to your small-group Comino boat tour.

An incredible experience from start to finish. Seeing the sunset from the boat was simply spectacular, with beautiful views and a very relaxing atmosphere. The crew was very kind, attentive, and professional at all times, making us feel comfortable throughout the excursion. Everything was very well organized, and the ride exceeded our expectations. Without a doubt, a totally recommended activity to enjoy a special moment and take home an unforgettable memory. We would repeat it without hesitation!
thanks for the review!
Perfect afternoon swimming around Comino. Opportunity to swim in 3 places. Boat size not too big and safe:
Thanks for the review!
Missed the timing of the original meet up point as I thought it was the ferry terminal near the cruise (that was on me) when I reached out to them they suggested hoping on the ferry to catch up to them, but the ferry does not take you to the right place from the cruise terminal so we were further out of place, wasted time and money, and they refused a refund.
Hi Sara, as you mentioned you took the wrong ferry and thats on you not us. We provide all necessary information, and we have hundreds of passengers every month, this was the first time a passenger to a big ferry which takes cars/passengers onboard (big vessel) instead of our small boat carrying a maximum of 24 people. In terms of refund its against Viator's policy as its not the operators fault. also we are a small company focusing on small boat cruises, so spots taken but didn't came its a loss to our bottom line. We did offer you to come on another day for free, but you were not available. So sorry for your experience but its none of our fault. You just gave us a bad review because you didn't reat the instructions well.
The boat was on time captain really nice helpful for us a nice small boat he took us to both bays and caves couldn’t ask for more this trip is not for the party crowd ideal for families and couples
Thanks for the review!
Lots of opportunities to swim. Whiskey was a great guide :) the beaches and swim spots were stunning
Thanks for the review!
Booked a few days beforehand, got 2 of the last 3 tickets. Followed the link to get the free blue lagoon landing pass, show the QR code at the desk by the Cafe and get your wrist band before boarding. Whiskey our guide was good, left on time, parked in good places for swimming and got us into small caves for a good look and pointed out interesting rock formations. Boat didn't feel crowded. I hired a snorkel (€5 cash) others bought cold drinks. Plenty of time at the swimming stops, some people stayed on board. There were noodles to borrow and a board to share. Nice group of people on the boat, Glad we did it.
Thanks for the review!
No one at the meeting point. Loss of €50 pre-booking. Unsuccessful phone calls. We ultimately left with another provider.
Sorry you had such an experience. We are at the meeting point 15mins before departure to board every passenger. And we do answer calls of course, maybe the line was busy due to other ongoing calls.
Top Tour. Sehr netter Tourguide
Thanks for the review!
