      Full description

      After boarding the catamaran, the first stop will be the Blue Lagoon. The boat will drop anchor away from the crowds, so you can experience the famous turquoise water in peace. During this stop, you can enjoy an optional barbecue. The stops after the Blue Lagoon will depend on the weather. It might be possible to head to the Crystal Lagoon, surrounded by steep dramatic cliffs. Its crystal clear waters are much deeper than the Blue Lagoon, making the area fantastic for snorkeling and swimming in and around the caves. If there is an easterly wind, it’s likely that you’ll visit Ghajn Tuffieha. This is a beautiful rural area, home to a chain of pristine sandy beaches called Golden Bay, Riviera Beach, and Gnejna Bay.

      On the way back from Ghajn Tuffieha, an additional stop will be made to discover the film set of Popeye’s Village, tucked away in a charming bay. Other stops that might be made are Mellieha Bay, Ramla Bay, Imgiebah Bay, or Half Rock.

      All of these locations are great for snorkeling and swimming. Back on the boat, listen to dance music, and buy cocktails at the bar. If you have selected the afternoon option, relax and watch the sunset on the horizon. After a wonderful day at sea, begin the journey back to Bugibba.

      Loved this, it was a great day and the highlight of our trip. The boat stops only a 5/10 mins walk to where most people swim in the blue lagoon, and they give you 1 hour 40 mins there so enough time to enjoy. You can also just stay near the boat which is lovely also! The pina coladas in a pineapple is a must, just note you can’t bring them back on the boat. Cocktails are super cheap on the boat €7. They stop in the crystal lagoon which is lovely, a lot of people were cliff jumping. The atmosphere is very chill music but also can see getting boozed with the free pour cocktails is possible! Mixture of couples, friends and parents and young adults on board. Felt safe throughout, crew were lovely! Would recommend getting there an hour early atleast as takes a while to board if you arrive any later as back of the queue.

      Amazing boat trip experience - the yacht was modern and comfortable, not overcrowded at all, so the trip was really pleasant and enjoyable. Friendly staff on board. Perhaps, there was too much time spent at Blue Lagoon - I would prefer to spend less time there. But overall, great experience, highly recommendable, especially for couples or groups of friends.

      Highly recommend to do while in Malta. 6 hours of amazing views around the islands, swimming in clear blue ocean and great lunch and drinks provided also. The boat is clean, comfortable and the staff are very friendly. 10/10 experience. Would recommend to arrive as early as possible to secure sun beds
