St. Paul's Island, also known as Selmunett, is a small island off Selmun, near the north-east of the main island of Malta. St. Paul's Island is sometimes split into two islands by a shallow isthmus, and it is therefore sometimes referred to in the plural as St. Paul's Islands. St. Paul's Island has been uninhabited since World War II, and it is the second largest uninhabited island in Malta, having an area of 0.1 square kilometres. The Acts of the Apostles tell the story of how Paul the Apostle was shipwrecked on an island, which Chapter 28 identifies as Malta, while on his way to Rome to face charges in 60 AD. Traditionally, St. Paul's Bay and St. Paul's Island are identified as the locations of this shipwreck. In 1844, a prominent statue of Saint Paul was erected on the island.

Great Boat & Staff

Well kept boat with friendly staff and not too crowded. Good quality lunch and free drinks (during lunchtime only). Drinks prices outside of lunchtime were reasonable. Good audio commentary whilst cruising past places of interest. All in all an excellent day out and value for money.

Round Malta Cruise with lunch and blue lagoon

The boat and crew were great. It was a nice sunny day and everyone was relaxing. Cold drinks allowed all through the day and lunch was served, containing of salad/pasta. Swimming in the blue lagoon was lovely and you could walk round the island. On the way out the sea was very choppy and I suffered from sea sickness, but the crew were very helpful and lovely and looked after me well. Thank you to the crew on hera 2.

Fantastic experience!!!

We took this boat trip to Comino Island and the Blue Lagoon, and the entire experience was absolutely fantastic. The itinerary was very well planned, with plenty of interesting sights along the way, and the scenery was simply breathtaking. We would especially like to thank the boat staff, who were incredibly welcoming, professional, and attentive throughout the journey. Their friendly attitude and genuine care for the comfort of their guests made the trip even more enjoyable. The lunch was also excellent - delicious food served in a stunning setting in the middle of the sea. It was the perfect complement to an already amazing day. We highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Malta and looking for a memorable experience.
