Full description

Explore the beautiful Comino Island and the surroundings on a day tour by boat. Discover the Ahrax Cave, Santa Maria Cave, and other famous sights before swimming or snorkeling in the clear waters of the Blue Lagoon.

You will depart from the Bugibba Jetty and begin your cruise along the northern coast of Malta. Pass by all of the sights including St. Pauls Islands and the statue of St. Pauls, and Anthrax Point. Continue cruising through the north channel of Comino as you pass by the elephants' head, Santa Maria Bay, St. Nicholas Bay, and the Comino hotel.

Make quick stops to enter both Ahrax Cave and Santa Maria Cave. Throughout the journey, Captain Kevin will inform you about the sites and give you information regarding Malta. After approximately 1 hour, arrive on Comino island in the famous Blue Lagoon. The boat will moor up and you can enjoy a stop of 4.5 hours.

During the journey, feel free to use all the facilities on board the boat or get off and explore the island. Relax and sunbathe on the top deck or find some shade on the main deck. Take a refreshing plunge into the cool, crystal-clear water. 

Take advantage of male and female toilet facilities, lockers, and the cafeteria which serves hot and cold beverages. At the end of your time in Comino, head off to the island of Gozo without stopping. 

Cruise around the Mgarr Harbour and see more important sites from the boat. Return to Malta via the south channel of Comino, passing by Crystal Lagoon and its caves and St. Mary's tower.

A great afternoon spent on the boat! The team on board is very kind and helpful. As a result, I dropped my wallet in the water (identity card, license etc.) they went to get it for me during our trip to Comino. Arriving on the boat they gave it to me when I thought I had to go in the water to get it. The landscapes are sublime. We stay about 4 hours on Comino which is very good because we have time to swim and visit. There is music on the boat which gives a real atmosphere. I recommend with eyes closed!

We took advantage of the hornblower cruise in November (late season). the captain and his staff were all accessible and available to the participants. The cruise was very suitable for our 5 year old daughter. We were very few tourists and we were all able to have a deckchair on the upper deck. The weather in November has nothing to envy to that of spring, a breathtaking day and crazy landscapes. The slide is very very fun and you can even jump from the top of the boat. It was really a great day

Brilliant! Unforgettable. It is one of the first boats to arrive at the Blue Lagoon, so there will be no one there at that time. The music on the boat is great and the food prices are super cheap compared to the prices of the stalls on the island. The motorboat is well worth it. All the staff is very friendly. Recommendable!
