I had such an amazing day! thankyou to all the staff who made it well organised and enjoyable. I sat at the front in the sun and the only downfall was everyone came to the front to take photos and got in my way, but that's just other people, not the boat trip. I just don't like people 😅 the speedboat was a highlight and for €15 it was well worth it!! I loved the cocktails in a pineapple too! The stop off at Gozo was well organised. I found it was too hot to explore the place so I can't form an opinion on it. I just sat in a cafe. I wish I stayed at the blue lagoon now. All in all it was a fantastic day! Thankyou!

Had an amazing experience, the staff were friendly and helpful, even offered to take some pictures of us on the boat when we stopped at some of the caves. Loved the stop in the Blue Lagoon and we went on a speed boat around the caves (optional) but definitely recommend, the views are amazing. Had the option to go to Gozo for 3HR and we had a great time exploring and eating the local food.

Full description

Join captain Kevin and his crew on an unforgettable boat cruise visiting the islands of Comino and Gozo. Starting from St Pauls Bay, cruise past the northern coast of Malta close enough to snap amazing pictures of its high rocky cliffs, coves, naturally formed rock formations, and caves.
Pass by historical landmarks such as the islands of St. Pauls and the huge statue of St. Pauls that was shipwrecked in Malta in 60A.D. Enter into the Ahrax and Santa Maria caves stopping as close as possible to get some incredible shots. Throughout the journey, captain Kevin will be making a live commentary about all the sites, including some historic and cultural information.
Then, enjoy a 1.5-hour stop in the famous Blue Lagoon, the place that some have described as paradise. With its silky white sand and crystal clear waters it is impossible to resist a dip here. Swim, slide or jump into the unbelievably clear water or walk off the boat for a dip at the beach.

During your time on Comino Island, remain on the boat and use its many facilities. Sunbathe on the upper sun deck, chill out in the shady seats on the main deck, make use of the 10-meter slide, or walk off the boat to the small sandy beach.
After the time in Comino, sail towards the island of Gozo. Enjoy 3 hours of free time to explore the island. Take the local bus or pay an additional 5euro on the day for a convenient transfer to Victoria, the capital city of Gozo and a photo stop before the return to the harbour.

After 3 hours on Gozo make your way back to the harbor and continue the cruise back to Malta through the south channel of Comino. Pass by the Crystal Lagoon, sea caves, and St. Mary's tower before returning to Malta.
