Itinerary
Join us on this unforgettable day tour departing at 10am returns at 17:00. With captain Kevin and his crew we want to show you the beauty of this gorgeous little island. Setting off at 10am we start with some religious history, we pass by the island of St.Pauls who was shipwrecked here, in his memory a statue of him is now situated in the middle of this tiny island.
We will pass by the largest beach in Malta Mellieha bay and continue to enter into the Ahrax cave stopping here for some great photographic shots. Just before crossing the Comino South Channel we cruise by the famous touristic site of Coral Cove.
As we pass Ahrax point we get a clear visual of the island of Comino. The smallest of the three islands only 1.4 square miles. We shall cruise 360 degrees around Comino witnessing high cliff edges, with magical rock formations such as the 'Elephants Head'.
The moment you have all been waiting for, what a lot of travellers' have called, Paradise on Earth, we arrive at the gorgeous BLUE LAGOON on the island of Comino. Take advantage from our great mooring position and spend your time on the boat. Away from the crowded beach you can jump, swim and slide into the crystalline turquoise water. Make use of the upper sun deck or chill out on our spacious shaded main deck. If you're hungry grab something from our onboard cafeteria prices are very reasonable. We might not have the most modern boat but we have all the amenities you need for a day at sea. Use the boat as your base as you walk freely on/ off to the island of Comino. Come back if you need to make use of the bar/ cafeteria, washrooms or other onboard facilities. With over 4 hours here you will have the time of your life.
Built in 1618 to help defend the island of Comino we pass by one of the few buildings on the island of Comino, the Santa Maria Tower. Also popular for its role as jail Chateau D'If in the film the Count of Monte Kristo this is another picturesque site.
Returning back at 17:00 hours
Cruising the South channel of Comino we enter into the Crystal Lagoon more popular with divers given its deeper waters. This bay is also accessible by foot from the Blue Lagoon where we will be moored for 4.5 hours. A short 8 minute walk will get you here where you can spend as much time as you like snorkeling, swimming or for the more adventurous cliff jumping. This site may be seen on the way going to Comino or later on the way back to Malta, depending on weather conditions

Very nice experience to the Blue Lagoon. It would be better to give more details in what included instead of annonces by sounds.
it was a very nice boat! very busy to begin but once you arrive it doesn’t seem as busy on the boat. blue lagoon water is incredible and would recommend anyone to swim in! Had a very nice time
Everything was perfect, we enjoyed every minute of it
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 💙 We're delighted to hear that everything was perfect and that you enjoyed every minute of your cruise. It was a pleasure having you onboard, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable day on the water! Captain Kevin and the Crew ⚓
Very nice day out: the crew are very polite and focused on customer service. Good coffee and drinks; the bar opens early in the morning. Go there early to get your space on the top bridge. The spot you stop at on the Blue Lagoon, in my opinion, is the best, as you have a lot of space for swimming. Spending hours there was the best option for us to relax and really enjoy the Blue Lagoon with a little walk to discover a bit of the island. It was very crowded, so the best time to relax was on the boat. Definitely recommend it.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 💙 We're delighted to hear you had such a relaxing day with us and that our crew helped make your experience enjoyable.

This was the best day trip ever! We did the blue lagoon for the entire day (did not go to Gozo) and it was so worth it. The deals for the pineapple cocktail drink was 100% worth it and spent the day swimming and sun bathing. Make sure you get to the marina early to get one of the top deck chairs! Food for lunch was so good!

We can't wait to welcome you back onboard for another unforgettable day at sea! 🚤🌊☀️ Best Wishes, Captain Kevin and the Crew ⚓
Second time on the Hornblower cruise and just as excellent as the first time - can’t fault it at all. The boat and facilities are great, the staff are friendly and engaging, the playlist is spot on and the price of the ticket as well as refreshments is very reasonable. It was the best day of our holiday easily.
Thank you so much for choosing to sail with us again! 💙 There is no greater compliment than welcoming returning guests, and we're absolutely delighted that your second trip was just as memorable as your first. Knowing it was the best day of your holiday means the world to our family-run team. Thank you for your continued support—we can't wait to welcome you back onboard for a third adventure! 🚤🌊☀️ Best Wishes, Captain Kevin and the Crew ⚓
Lovely boat and very friendly crew. Only criticism is that we probably spent too long in the same place and it would have been improved by moving to some different places such as the caves I have been on previous trips here where the boat stopped and had an hour or so there before moving on to blue lagoon. Overall though it was a great day out and highly recommended.
Fantastic day out, very reasonably priced drinks and food onboard. Very helpful and friendly staff, great value for money. Best location in the blue lagoon. Limited sunbeds, need to get onboard early. No comfortable lounge chairs in the shade.
Thank you for your fantastic review 😊 We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed your day with us and found the food, drinks, and overall experience to be excellent value for money. It's wonderful to know that our crew made you feel welcome and that you enjoyed what we believe is one of the best locations at the Blue Lagoon. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the sunbeds and shaded seating. As the sunbeds are available on a first-come, first-served basis, we always recommend arriving early for guests wishing to secure one. We hope to welcome you on board again soon for another memorable day at sea! 🚤🌊☀️🍍 Best Wishes, Captain Kevin and the Crew⚓️
