Reisroute
Vanuit St. Paul's Bay vaar je langs de noordelijke kustlijn van Malta langs St. Paul's Islands en de Ahrax Cave in voor een goed uitzicht. Ga verder door het noordelijke kanaal van Comino, langs de rotsformatie Elephant's Head, Santa Maria Cave, Santa Maria Bay en St. Nicholas Bay. Na ongeveer een uur komt u aan bij de beroemde Blue Lagoon, waar de boot 1 uur en 30 minuten aanmeert. Zwem in kristalhelder water, ontspan aan dek of verken het eiland. Tot de faciliteiten aan boord behoren zonnedekken met gratis ligstoelen (wie het eerst komt, het eerst maalt), schaduwrijke zitplaatsen, een lager dek met airconditioning, toiletten en een cafetaria met warme en koude dranken.
Bij vertrek varen we langs onze eerste site die van St. Paul's eiland. Hier, zoals de bijbel zegt, is waar hij schipbreuk leed in 60A.D. vinden we nu een 8,3 meter hoog standbeeld.
Verder langs de noordelijke kustlijn van Malta passeren we Mellieħa Bay (Għadira Bay), het grootste zandstrand van de eilanden. Kort daarna nadert de kapitein voorzichtig de indrukwekkende Ahrax-grot, stuurt dicht bij de ingang voor fantastische fotomogelijkheden en een nadere blik op de natuurlijke rotsformaties.
We stoppen ongeveer 1 uur en 30 minuten bij de wereldberoemde Blue Lagoon. Hier kunt u zwemmen en snorkelen in kristalhelder turquoise water, ontspannen op het dek of genieten van de zon naast een van Malta's meest iconische zwemplekken. Voor de avontuurlijkelingen, maak een plons met behulp van de 10 - meter waterglijbaan direct in het heldere water van de lagune.
Na ongeveer een uur varen komen we aan bij de prachtige Blue Lagoon. We streven ernaar om vroeg aan te komen om uw tijd in het kristalheldere turquoise water te maximaliseren. Dankzij onze uitstekende ligplaats kunt u genieten van zwemmen, springen en glijden direct in de lagune weg van de drukste kustgebieden. Ontspan op het bovenste zonnedek, ontspan in schaduwrijke zitplaatsen of gebruik de boot als uw comfortabele uitvalsbasis tijdens het verkennen van Comino Island. Faciliteiten aan boord, waaronder toiletten en een cafetaria waar eten en drinken wordt geserveerd, blijven beschikbaar gedurende de hele halte. We blijven hier ongeveer 1 uur en 30 minuten. Vergeet niet uw gratis landingspas te downloaden van www.blcomino.com voor aankomst.
Na uw stop bij de Blue Lagoon rijden we verder naar de belangrijkste haven van Gozo, Mġarr Harbour. Hier geniet u van ongeveer 3 uur om het eiland in uw eigen tempo te verkennen. U kunt ervoor kiezen om Gozo zelfstandig te ontdekken met het lokale vervoer of tijd doorbrengen ontspannen rond het havengebied. Voor degenen die de voorkeur geven aan een gestructureerd bezoek, is een optionele shuttle transfer (€ 5 per persoon) beschikbaar. Dit is inclusief ongeveer 1 uur en 30 minuten in Victoria, de hoofdstad van Gozo — ideaal voor het verkennen van de Citadel, het bekijken van lokale winkels of genieten van een maaltijd — gevolgd door een korte schilderachtige stop bij een panoramisch uitzichtpunt voor memorabele foto's van het eiland. Houd er rekening mee dat de reistijd tussen de haltes is inbegrepen bij het bezoek van 3 uur.
De historische Citadel ligt in Victoria en is een van de meest iconische bezienswaardigheden van Gozo. Deze versterkte heuveltop biedt een adembenemend panoramisch uitzicht over het eiland en de omliggende zee. Wandel door de oude stenen muren, kleine musea en rustige steegjes voor een kijkje in de rijke geschiedenis van Gozo.
Gasten die kiezen voor de optionele pendeldienst (€ 5 per persoon) genieten van ongeveer 1 uur en 30 minuten in Victoria, de levendige hoofdstad van Gozo. Hier kunt u charmante straatjes verkennen, lokale winkels bekijken, cafés bezoeken of gewoon genieten van de ontspannen sfeer van het eiland.
Terwijl we door het zuidelijke kanaal van Comino varen richting de Blue Lagoon, passeren we de opvallende Crystal Lagoon, bekend om zijn dramatische kliffen en diepe, heldere wateren die duikers en snorkelaars aantrekken. Vanaf de boot geniet u van close-up uitzicht op de prachtige zeegrotten en rotsformaties — perfect voor foto's — voordat u verder gaat naar onze belangrijkste zwemstop bij de Blue Lagoon. Crystal Lagoon is ook te voet bereikbaar vanaf de Blue Lagoon, op slechts een korte wandeling over het eiland voor degenen die verder willen verkennen.
Terugkomst om 17 uur : 00 uur

Highly recommend this was such an awesome day . The crystal clear blue lagoon is just breathtaking and then all the non stopping views on the boat was beautiful. Going to GOZO for the rest of the day is beautiful and I recommend spending the 5€ and getting the bus transport lots of big hills
Really smooth operation. Plenty of food and drink on board at reasonable Prices. We went with 3 kids, who loved the blue lagoon. Which was an option to stay at instead of going to Gozo for the day. It is a long day, so pack accordingly.
Thank you for your fantastic review! 😊 We're delighted to hear that you and your family had such a wonderful day with us. It's great to know your children loved the Blue Lagoon and that you enjoyed our onboard food and drinks. Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you all back onboard again soon for another unforgettable day at sea! 🚤🌊☀️ Best Wishes, Captain Kevin and the Crew ⚓️
Everything was excellent apart from the drinks, 20 eur for ananas and 4 cocktails that contained very little alcohol. Every time I asked to make it stronger but the staff just laughed. They have the best spot in blue lagoon where you have plenty of space to swim, jump from the boat or use the crazy slide. The other thing, first come first serve rule are valid only till the gozo island, then they remove all the belongings. So if you are planning to come 1.5 h earlier to get best spot on the top deck, have that in mind. The transfer in cozo was perfect.
Thank you for your review and for sharing your feedback. 😊 We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed our swimming area at the Blue Lagoon, the waterslide, and the Gozo transfer service. Regarding our cocktails, all alcoholic drinks are prepared using measured servings to ensure consistency and responsible service. As for upper deck seating, these areas are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and guests are kindly asked not to reserve sunbeds while away from the boat for extended periods. We appreciate your comments and hope to welcome you back on board in the future. 🚤🌊☀️ Captain Kevin and the Crew ⚓️
Overcrowded. Noisy. Worse nightmare.
Thank you for your review. The Blue Lagoon is one of Malta's most famous attractions and attracts thousands of visitors daily during the summer season. While we understand it may not suit guests looking for peace and quiet, the popularity of the location is one of the reasons many visitors choose to experience it. We appreciate your feedback and are sorry it did not meet your expectations. Captain Kevin and the Crew ⚓️
I'm trying to get a refund of €240, after being left high and dry by Hornblower Cruise Malta. I bought 6 tickets weeks in advance of our trip via "Headout Tours online" to do a full day Gozo & Comino Cruise with Blue Lagoon on Hornblower, departing Tuesday 9th June at 1000hrs, at a total cost of €240. We arrived at Bugibba Pier in plenty of time to collect our pre-registered blcomino.com wristbands, and then we proceeded to queue with others at 0920hrs (as per voucher instructions) to board the Hornblower ship. At our turn to board, the person who was scanning tickets at the boarding ramp for the Hornblower, he looked at my phone/tickets and pointed out at the "tour name title" and he said "this ship wasn't going to Gozo, that it was the next ship coming at 1030hrs from Silema to Bugibba". I queried that because the ticket says 1000hrs, and he called over to another crew member at the pier, who also verified that another boat comes in at 1030". So I had two crew members advise me the same thing !! Who was I to question this, I mean I'm at their ship and this is their crew? So, we waited for this 1030 ship, which never came. I tried to contact the emergency number for Headout, but i couldn't get through. I contacted chat lines, but you only get a chatbot these days, so useless. We ended up booking new tickets at the pier to go with "Sea Trips Catamaran" on a 5pm sunset cruise later that day, which cost us an additional €180. I followed up with an email to Headout Customer service that afternoon, and they emailed back with Hornblowers response, which is that "I must have gone to the wrong pier (which I didn't), because I was at their ship and I have video evidence to support this. Also, Hornblower say that "only one ships departs at 1000hrs from Bugibba ", which is funny, because that is the ship that I was trying to board, but I couldn't get access to board it !!!! The customer care team from Headout have tried to deal with Hornblower, but they just receive a standard response that " I must have made a mistake, there is only one 1000hrs departure, the ship departed without me and therefore I'm not entitled to a refund". So here's some evidence. Hornblower said in their reply that "only one ship leaves at 1000hrs from Bugibba Pier", and yet they had an advertising board at Bugibba pier on the 9th June'26, which says they have 2 tours !!! They advertised a " Tour A, Comino, Blue Lagoon and Caves" and also a "Tour B", which is what I booked for "Comino, Blue Lagoon, Gozo and Caves", and get this, it says the ships leave at 1030hrs (I'm glad I took a photo of this, which is attached). Incredibly, after my written complaint that day, a couple of days later, somebody in Hornblower then covered up that very same advertising board with a new board using some cable ties (and you can see it was covering up the two tours and 1030hrs) ... sneaky eh !!!! So the bottom line is, some crew members made a mistake with my tickets, perhaps they read it wrong but they are the ones that made the mistake and all Hornblower can do to save face is to call me liar, or suggest that I made a mistake and all the while they'll just keep €240. Headout offered me an option to rebook the same tour for another date, which in a sense is admitting liability for an error, but I wasn't able to go another date, as I was travelling elsewhere, i'd also booked a separate tour a few hours later at additional expense. So willing to rebook me, but not willing to refund me! I work in the Travel Industry for a large Tour Operator, and I've never come across such disregard towards a customer issue. At no point have they engaged meaningfully via Headout customer care, even though I've provided supporting evidence to the contrary. Ironically, on their own poster at the pier their company slogan is "Because you deserve the best", when really all I deserve is a refund which would be the best, and what I deserve. I'll be sure to call them out to other agents and customers for their behaviour.
Dear Mr Hammond, Thank you for your message. We would first like to clarify that all correspondence regarding this booking has been handled through your booking agent, Headout, as this is where the reservation was made. According to our records, the Hornblower vessel departed Bugibba Jetty at 10:00am as scheduled. This departure time has remained unchanged for many years. We would also like to clarify that the personnel scanning Blue Lagoon access passes at the jetty are government officials and are not employed by Hornblower Cruises. Our crew does not operate any ticket scanners at the jetty. The two tours you refer to are indeed operated by us: * Comino, Blue Lagoon & Caves * Gozo, Comino, Blue Lagoon & Caves While these were previously referred to as Tour A and Tour B, both tours depart from Bugibba Jetty at 10:00am. Regarding the information board at the jetty, the signage was recently replaced as it had become weathered and faded over time. This replacement was part of a planned update and was unrelated to your complaint. We appreciate that this was a frustrating experience for you. However, the departure time, boat name, boarding location, and directions were clearly stated on the booking voucher provided by your agent. As the vessel departed as scheduled and the booking was recorded as a no-show, in circumstances that were not caused by any action or omission on the part of Hornblower Cruises, we are unfortunately unable to approve a refund. Kind regards, Hornblower Cruises Malta

This is the tour you need to be going on if you want to go to the blue lagoon. Our boat definitely had one of the best spaces to dock and plenty of space on board. The pineapple drinks were also a highlight!

It's great to know you appreciated the space onboard and, of course, our famous pineapple cocktails 🍍🍹! Thank you for choosing Hornblower Cruises, and we hope to welcome you back on board again soon. 🚤🌊☀️ Best Wishes, Captain Kevin and the Crew ⚓️
The itinerary states 3 times a 90 minute stay (blue lagoon, Victoria and Citadelle). Actually we stopped for 80 minutes at the blue lagoon and another time for 90 minutes at Victoria where the Citadelle is located. But we didn't make a third stop. So instead of 4,5hrs we got a little under 3 hrs and the rest of the time on the boat.... there was enough space in the boat, drinks and food wasn't too expensive, made different Foto stops, provided life vests for insecure swimmers so they could also swim in the blue lagoon, possibility to rent googles and snorkle for 5€
Thank you for your review and for sharing your feedback. 😊 We're pleased to hear that you appreciated the spacious boat, reasonable food and drink prices, photo stops, and the safety equipment provided for guests wishing to swim. We would like to clarify that the tour includes a stop at the Blue Lagoon (on Comino island) and a stop in Gozo, where guests can choose the shuttle to visit Victoria the capital city where (at the same stop) you can visit the Citadel UNESCO site independently. These are not separate stops but part of the same Gozo visit. We're very sorry if this was not communicated clearly and led to different expectations. Thank you for joining us, and we appreciate your comments as they help us continue improving our guest experience. 🚤🌊 Best Wishes, Captain Kevin and the Crew⚓️
