Comino: Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon, and Seacaves Tour

1. Comino: Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon, and Seacaves Tour

Get out on the water on this cruise to the island of Comino and soak up the scenery of the island's north coast. Go to the Blue Lagoon to snorkel and swim, enter the caves of Crystal Lagoon, plunge in the crystal-clear waters from a slide, or simply soak up the sun on the boat's sun deck. After boarding your vessel, your journey to Comino Island will take approximately one hour. You will experience Malta from a beautiful vantage point from the open sea. You will cruise close to the coast, witnessing Malta’s magnificent naturally-formed coastline, including its enormous cliffs, rocky nooks, and crannies. You will soon pass the tiny Island of St. Paul’s, viewing the statue of the apostle Saint Paul which rises high into the sky. You will also visit magnificent sea caves, which will allow you the opportunity to take amazing photographs. You will soon stop for one hour at the stunning but lesser-known Crystal Lagoon (June-October in fair weather conditions only). It is fringed by steep cliffs and therefore accessed only by boats. With unbelievably clear water, it is perfect for swimming, snorkelling, and diving. You can plunge into its crystal clear waters from one of the three water slides or jump from the top deck if you dare. During the evening trip, you will stop for 2 hours in the Blue Lagoon and 30 mins in the Crystal Lagoon. After arriving at the Blue Lagoon, you will moor in the prime area. You can then use the boat as a base, utilising all the fantastic facilities, including a huge water slide and sundeck with cushioned sun loungers. You can spend the rest of the afternoon swimming from the boat or walking ashore to explore the tiny island. Comino is also worth a visit in winter and is ideal for walkers and photographers. With no urban areas or cars on the island, one can easily smell the scent of wild thyme and other herbs. With the day drawing to a close, you will cruise back to Bugibba Port, entering the Santa Maria pirate caves and viewing the “Elephants Head”.

Wonderful tour, the crew was terrific, very kind and friendly. Didn’t know that you could swim in the sea in February! The stay at Gozo was a little bit too short because we had lunch. So if you want to have time to visit, skip the meal. I really recommend the tour. We went on the catamaran which was great

We were so lucky: they upgraded our boat due to a mechanical fault. Loved the tour! Plenty of time to visit all the locations. We decide to take the bus to Victoria directly on the boat, more interesting than just staying in the Barbour. All explanations given in various language.

Everything was great, the palace and the amazing gardens, but the problem was with the laaaaaarge queues everywhere and i mean everywhere!! Poor organised with just one ticket checkpoint for thousands of visitors eventhough you pay for a skip the line ticket..

Very good option. The boat is great and you have windows to see the goldfishes.

Very beautiful views, nice trip and crew! Recommended
