Comino Blue Lagoon

Comino is a beautiful island sitting between Malta and Gozo. It is renowned for its crystal clear waters, hence the name of its most famous bay – the Blue Lagoon.

The Blue Lagoon is also referred to as the Crystal Lagoon due to its crystal clear light blue waters.

Apart from Comino Hotel, there is only one single family living permanently on the island. Comino has become a favourite destination for tourists from all over the world, particularly cherished for its peace and tranquillity.

St Mary’s Tower is the most visible structure on the island. It dates back to 1416, when the Maltese petitioned their King to build a tower on Comino to serve as an early warning system in case of invasion. At the time they wanted to deter marauding Turks, pirates, smugglers and corsairs from using Comino as a hiding place and staging ground for devastating sorties onto the sister islands of Malta and Gozo.

Chaudron Power Boats

Our Power Boats are custom built by the famous Chaudron boat company, a company established in Malta in 1988 which today is the undisputed top boat-building company in Malta. Among the many prestigious awards won by Chaudron is the SuperSport Championship, which it won for three years in a row: in 2007, 2008 and 2009.

Our power-boats are 33 feet long with twin Yamaha 300hp engines and can take over 20 people. Safety is our top priority, and our boats are built with all necessary safety measures to ensure a smooth and safe boating experience.

Chaudron started competing in the Powerboat P1 championship in 2004 with the debut race in home seas.

Chaudron were allowed to compete after being given a wildcard and after the experience the team planned on entering the SuperSport championship with the main aim of securing the world title – an ambition achieved in 2007 and 2008.

How To Get To Comino & The Blue Lagoon in Malta

This image shows a panoramic view of the Blue Lagoon with the Gozo Channel in the background.

Last updated on November 20th, 2023 at 07:16 pm

Comino is an unmissable part of any trip to Malta and this guide on how to get to Comino and the Blue Lagoon is all you need to plan the perfect day trip to this small yet spectacular island.

A little speck in the Mediterranean Sea, this three-and-a-half square kilometre rock is the smallest of the country’s three main islands – Malta, Gozo, and Comino. The latter is largely uninhabited, save for just two official residents. At least, that’s what we were told.

Despite – or perhaps because of – its splendid isolation, Comino is a must-see on any Malta itinerary, boasting some gorgeous natural landscapes that are unlike anything else in the Maltese Archipelago. Undoubtedly, the ultimate highlight of Comino is the Blue Lagoon. That said, there are several other amazing things to see in Comino, apart from the Blue Lagoon.

In this article, you’ll find out how to get to Comino from Malta or Gozo, alongside the best things to do in Comino, apart from swimming in the turquoise waters of the famous Blue Lagoon.

Some of the links in this article are affiliate ones. This means that if you click through them to make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. For more information, visit our  Disclosure page .

This image shows the view of Blue Lagoon and the shore of Comino from the water.

Is Comino Worth Visiting?

If you’re wondering why you should visit Comino, the answer could be limited to just three words: the Blue Lagoon. This natural wonder is often the top reason to visit Comino. When the sun is glittering off the perfect turquoise waters, it truly is an amazingly beautiful spot. On a hot day, paddling here feels like a small slice of heaven.

That said, while the Blue Lagoon is one of the highlights in Malta, there are enough other things to explore to turn a trip to Comino into a full-day visit. First off, you will find, of course, many other beaches and swimming spots to explore, which are perfect for sun worshippers and snorkelling fans. 

On top of that, you can also explore a handful of historic buildings that give the whole place a romantic impression of a lost civilisation. Even if most of these structures were in use by the Maltese government just a few decades ago. And let’s not forget about the jaw-dropping sea views at every turn.

This image shows a panoramic view of the cliffs and sea of Comino, with a boat approaching the Crystal Lagoon.

How To Get To Comino From Malta Island

Since there are no hotels in Comino – the island’s only hotel shut its doors a couple of years ago – you can only experience Comino and the Blue Lagoon as part of a day trip. Fortunately, it’s pretty easy to reach these shores, either from the main island of Malta or the smaller island of Gozo.

If you’re wondering how to get to Comino and the Blue Lagoon in Malta, one of the most popular ways is to take the local ferry. To be precise, it’s more of a large motorboat than a proper ferry, but it does the job just fine.  

The ferry ride takes around 25 minutes, with a service running every half an hour – always weather permitting, of course. There are two different departure points, situated close to one another. The harbour at Cirkewwa and the small port of Marfa . Incidentally, Cirkewwa is also where you can find the (actual) ferry that travels between Malta and Gozo. 

This image shows a boat, which is actually the Comino Ferry, before its departure from Marfa to Comino. If you're wondering how to get to Comino, this ferry is one of the best options.

While there are ferries from both Cirkewwa and Marfa, we tried the Marfa option, as we were on a road trip. Why? Because it’s much easier to find a parking spot in Marfa. As a rough guide, Cirkewwa is ideal if you are taking the bus as the boarding point is opposite the Cirkewwa Bus Terminal.

On the other hand, if you’re moving around by car, the Marfa boarding point is the best option. You can park your car here . You can buy your ferry tickets either online or prior to your boarding at the kiosks near the boarding points. Check the schedule and prices on the official website of Comino Ferries. As far as timings go, it takes just under an hour to drive to Marfa from the Maltese capital, Valletta.

On a Boat Tour

If convenience is your priority or you haven’t rented a car that allows you to drive to the ferry terminal, there are also several companies offering Blue Lagoon boat trips. These depart from all the main Malta hotspots, such as the resort towns of Saint Paul and Sliema. If you’re staying in Valetta, you have to take the Sliema Ferry first to get straight to the port in Sliema from where the boat trips from Malta to Comino Island start.

Depending on where you’re staying, you can pick one of those boat tours to the Blue Lagoon and Comino Island:

  • From Bugibba in Saint Paul’s Bay, this Catamaran Trip will take you not only to the Blue Lagoon but also to Popeye Village and other bays on Malta Island.
  • From Sliema, this Comino Island Cruise allows you to spend a full day on Comino Island and enjoy the crystal clear waters of the Blue Lagoon.

This image shows a tourist boat mooring at the turquoise waters of Comino.

When it comes to deciding how to get to the Blue Lagoon in Malta, bear in mind that these boat tours are more prone to weather-related disruptions. Plus, you will find yourself tied to the boat’s schedule, rather than being able to set your own agenda.

You should expect to spend a little more for a boat trip. However, the huge benefit of this option is you can swim off the vessel – or, in some cases, slide off – rather than scrapping with the other tourists over the extremely limited sandy beach space at the Blue Lagoon, especially during busy times of the year and day.

If you pick the right boat company, you can explore several different Comino beaches, coves and caves over the course of several hours instead.

This image shows the little harbour at the Blue Lagoon. If you're wondering how to get to Comino, this is where the Comino ferry stops.

If you get seasick, opt for the ferry to Comino instead of a boat tour. First of all, the ferry ride from Marfa or Cirkewwa takes a lot less than the boat tour from Saint Paul’s Bay or Sliema to Comino. Secondly, the area between Marfa/Cirkewwa and Comino is largely protected from the winds.

How To Get To Comino From Gozo Island

The options on how to get to Comino from Gozo are similar to those from Malta. You can either catch a ferry or join a boat tour. As you would expect, given that Gozo is about a third of the size of the main Malta Island, there are fewer choices and times for everything.

The Blue Lagoon ferry leaves from Mgarr , Gozo’s port, every hour and takes just 15 minutes. Again, if you have a car, it’s easy to reach the harbour from anywhere on the island. However, if you are going vehicle-free, the 301 bus provides a fairly fast 25-minute journey between Gozo’s main town, Victoria , and the ferry terminal at Mgarr.

This image shows a panoramic view of Gozo's port, taken from the ferry.

While there are boat tour options from Gozo, including some that can arrange transfers from other major towns around the island to the harbour, there isn’t the same proliferation of operators as there is from Malta. Therefore, you might want to consider a private boat rental. This also, of course, means greater flexibility, albeit at a higher price tag.

For the adventurous, the proximity of Comino to Gozo opens up another pretty cool option: kayaking. It’s possible to sign onto a kayak tour for a full day or a half day that will take you around the beaches and bays of Comino. These are usually led by a professional guide, so you don’t need to worry about getting lost.

This image shows a small boat on a private tour at the Blue Lagoon.

Facilities on Comino Island

The most important consideration first: there are public toilets on Comino Island. If you want to rinse off, you can also find showers on a ridge above the Blue Lagoon.

During high season, several food trucks rock up to service the tourist crowd. They range from simple sandwiches to cocktails served up in pineapples. An Instagram gimmick that is pretty random, considering these tropical fruits aren’t grown anywhere in the Mediterranean Sea. 

There are also other beach essentials that you can rent on-site rather than lugging them all the way over yourself. These include deck chairs and umbrellas if you intend to set up shop for the morning, afternoon or even the whole day.

Last but not least, there are also luggage storage facilities in case you want to leave your valuables somewhere safe while exploring Comino.

This image shows the food trucks and the crowds on Comino Island.

Things To Do in Comino

1. enjoy the crystal clear waters of the blue lagoon.

Yes, we’ve already mentioned this, but the Blue Lagoon is Comino’s number-one attraction. A narrow channel of water between the main Comino Island and the smaller Cominotto Island, the Blue Lagoon gets filled with boats and people during the summer season.

Fair warning: you will not find much peace and quiet here. However, it is worth braving the crowds to bathe for a little while in such fantastically clear waters. We’d recommend heading out in the early morning – we’re talking 8 am or 9 am early – or late afternoon to avoid the floods of people that pile off boats and onto the very narrow strip of land that constitutes a beach.

This image shows the Blue Lagoon early in the morning.

2. Swim To Cominotto Island

While you are at the Blue Lagoon, take a few minutes to check out Cominotto . This tiny little land mass is just 0.25 square kilometres large and helps shield the Blue Lagoon from the open sea. 

While there isn’t any way to reach the island on foot, it is only a short, fairly gentle swim across from the Comino port. The surrounding reefs provide excellent snorkelling opportunities, so bring along some goggles, too.

3. Sail To The Crystal Lagoon

Named after its crystal clear waters, the Crystal Lagoon is the less popular sibling of the Blue Lagoon. However, it’s almost just as beautiful. The waters are ringed on the land side by cliffs, which means you can only get here as part of a boat trip.

Because of its relative inaccessibility and the fact that it’s less famous than the Blue Lagoon, the Crystal Lagoon is a quieter space to enjoy either swimming or snorkelling in the refreshing waters.

This image shows a boat at the Crystal Lagoon, taken from our ferry.

4. Hike The Perimeter of The Island

Another way to escape the crowds is to hike the perimeter of Comino. This takes between two and a half and three and a half hours, depending on your pace and how many stops you make. While you won’t be able to explore the Comino caves and reefs as you would by kayaking around the island, you’ll get some of the best views of the picturesque waters and cliffs on this walk instead.

Make sure you bring water, sunscreen and a hat because there is almost nowhere to hide from the rays during this hike.

This image shows a couple hiking on a trail with the Blue Lagoon in the background.

5. Climb Saint Mary’s Tower

There isn’t much in the way of man-made constructions on Comino Island. That’s one of its major charms if you ask us. That said, of the structures that have weathered the ages, the most striking is Saint Mary’s Tower (Torri ta’ Santa Marija to the locals).

This early 17th-century watchtower is a stocky chunk of a building that was originally erected by the Knights of the Order of Saint John to defend against pirates. It’s not one of a kind as there are several of these fortifications around Malta. Inside Saint Mary’s Tower, you can find a map of all the watchtowers you can – or can’t – visit in Malta and Gozo.

This image shows Saint Mary's Tower.

Saint Mary’s Tower has only been restored and opened to the public quite recently, having been used for all sorts of things (prison and bird protection among others) over the centuries, as the plaques on site will inform you. We highly recommend clambering up to the top of the 12-metre-high tower for the views over Comino.

This image shows a selfie photo of Maria and Katerina taken at Saint Mary's tower terrace. A panoramic view of the Blue Lagoon is in the background.

6. Take a Glimpse Outside The Abandoned Isolation Hospital

One of the things you’ll see from the top of Saint Mary’s Tower is a former medical facility that was built by the British in the late 1800s to quarantine soldiers suffering from the plague. Despite its name, we’re pretty sure there is actually someone living there. But the sandy-coloured facade still makes for a pretty snap. Plus, you can hide in the shade of one of the walls if you want a respite from the sun for a minute.

This image shows a panoramic view of the abandoned isolation hospital.

7. Enjoy The Views From Saint Mary’s Gun Battery

Towards the southeastern part of Comino, the remnants of a rather unimpressive gun battery await. First utilised by the Knights of Saint John for defensive purposes back in 1715, there’s not much to see now. Therefore, you shouldn’t go out of your way just to visit the battery. However, as part of a hike around the island, it makes for a good stop-off point. 

Saint Mary’s Gun Battery is about halfway around the island from the Blue Lagoon and Comino’s ferry terminal. Therefore, if you’ve brought along a snack or a sandwich, you can enjoy a munch while staring out from the cannon-laden blockhouse roof.

This image shows a family of four at Saint Mary's gun battery. Three of them are sitting on a high wall enjoying the sea view and the fourth one is standing next to one of the three cannons behind the wall.

8. Visit The Chapel of Our Lady’s Return From Egypt

The only religious structure on Comino Island, the Chapel of Our Lady’s Return From Egypt is about 400 years old. It has a distinctive arrangement of three bells contained inside a trio of archways atop the roof.

Apparently, there are times when you can peek inside the building to see the restored paintings lining the altar. Yet, it was closed when we got there. Therefore, we can’t tell for sure when – and if – it’s open to the public but it’s worth checking out even from the outside.

This image shows the Chapel of Our Lady's Return from Egypt. A cyclist is standing in front of the Chapel.

9. Escape The Crowds at Santa Maria Bay

The very final thing we’ve included on this list of things to do in Comino is a visit to Santa Maria Bay . This coastal area is less than 30 minutes walk from the Blue Lagoon and boasts an actual sandy beach.

Admittedly, Santa Maria Bay doesn’t have the wow factor of the Blue Lagoon. But that also means it tends to be less crowded. Once you have taken in the glittering, gem-like quality of the Blue Lagoon, you can decamp to Santa Maria Bay for a slightly calmer spot to swim and soak up the sun.

This image shows the sandy Santa Maria Bay in Comino.

If you’re planning a trip to Malta soon, make sure you leave enough time for a full-day trip to Comino Island. Apart from admiring the utter beauty of the Blue Lagoon, Comino is the perfect place to relax and decompress while hiking, swimming or simply lazing under the Mediterranean sun.

We do hope that you’ll find this guide on how to get to Comino and our list of the best things to do in Comino helpful when planning your trip to this tiny gem of an island in the Mediterranean Sea.

Malta Boat Trips & Tours: The 12 Best Options

Looking for the best Malta boat trips and tours for your holiday?

In this guide, you’ll find an up-to-date, tried-and-tested list of different boat tours and trips to explore Malta, Gozo, and Comino Island (and its famous Blue Lagoon).

I’m a tourist-turned-local and have taken dozens of excursions and boat tours, including the ones on this list. My goal is to help you have a memorable stay in Malta, and I only make recommendations with that goal in mind.

Taking a boat trip in Malta makes for a great day out.

Blue Lagoon Boat Tours

The stunning Blue Lagoon is located on the small Comino Island and is Malta’s most popular tourist attraction by a mile and a top destination for tours and excursions . It’s a real gem in the Mediterranean Sea.

Famous for its azure-coloured, crystal-clear waters, it’s an absolutely stunning bay that’s visited by thousands of locals and tourists on various boat tours every year.

It’s a must-visit on most people’s travel plans to explore Malta, and while you *can* get there by ferry, it’s a LOT more comfortable taking a boat trip there. The bay itself only has a very small sandy beach that’s usually packed with people who are there on day trips. In fact, although more expensive, a private boat is the way to go (and I’ve included a great recommendation further below from personal experience).

Blue Lagoon boat tour

The standard Blue Lagoon catamaran boat trip.

  • From €25 p.p.
  • Couples, families with kids, small groups

This Blue Lagoon full-day tour departs from Buġibba (although you can book transport from other locations in Malta). They take you straight to Comino’s Blue Lagoon, passing by St. Paul’s islands on the way. You’ll also stop at the lesser-known Crystal Lagoon Malta and some of Comino’s sea caves on the way back.

COUPON: Get a discount with the coupon code MALTA5 .

There are a few options to choose from:

  • Hopping on the larger catamaran for the day trip. This catamaran has slides and underwater windows, making it a great option for families with kids. This tour takes around 6-7 hours.
  • Hopping on the same catamaran but in the late afternoon for a sunset cruise . This tour takes around 4 hours and would be my personal recommendation . The Blue Lagoon gets VERY busy during the day in the high season, so it’s a great way to enjoy this magical spot at a much quieter time when most of the other tour operators would’ve sailed back to Malta for the day.
  • Taking the smaller catamaran, the Sea Odyssey , which also gives you a full-day trip with a morning departure time.

Both boats provide seating and sunbeds and an indoor, air-conditioned area with a small kiosk to buy food and drinks from. There are separate male and female toilets on board as well.

During your stay, you don’t have to stay on the boat. You can also wander around some of the coastal and country trails that the small island of Comino has to offer. It’s something I would only recommend in spring and autumn, however, since there’s very little opportunity to find shade on the island.

Catamaran boat tour

Beaches and Bays catamaran tour to the Blue Lagoon.

  • Sliema / Buġibba
  • From €65 p.p.
  • Couples, small groups

Catamaran 1 (Sliema): This Catamaran Cruise (full-day tour) offers a laidback cruise to Comino and, unlike the next option, is all-inclusive with an open bar (beer, wine, soft drinks, water) and a cold buffet lunch (cold cuts, cheeses, salads, and seasonal fruit).

You’ll be hopping on a large and spacious catamaran (with fewer people than the standard trips) that sails to Comino. While the Blue Lagoon is the main destination, you’ll cruise past other parts of the island on the way, including some of its hidden coves.

Catamaran 2 (Buġibba): If you’d like to combine a visit to the Blue Lagoon at Comino Island with swimming at some of Malta’s most beautiful bays, the Beaches and Bays tour is a great option.

Although a little more expensive, this Beaches and Bays boat tour by catamaran has two big benefits over the first option.

  • It’s a lot more spacious and comfortable, with spaced-out, comfortable sunbeds on the boat’s sun deck, chill music, and an (optional) BBQ lunch on board.
  • You get enough time at the Blue Lagoon but also get to swim at other beautiful bays on the main island’s northern coast, for example, (my personal favourite) Għajn Tuffieħa Bay and Golden Bay. ( Note: Actual bays visited can differ depending on the wind direction.). A stop at the Crystal Lagoon is also included.

Available from May through to September, I highly recommend going for this option if you’re travelling as a couple or with a group of couples. This is currently one of the best Malta boat tours you can book.

TIP: The lunch is worth the upgrade, and drinks on board are reasonably priced.

Two-Master Boat from Sliema

Two-master boat trip from Sliema to the Blue Lagoon.

  • From €75 p.p.

If you’re staying in Sliema and want a full-day boat tour of Comino’s famous Blue Lagoon, this two-master boat tour is a great option.

Enjoying a laid-back vibe on an impressive 38-metre-long wooden Turkish Gullet boat, it’s a popular choice for a day out at sea. The tour departs from the Sliema Ferries front, which is very convenient if you’re staying in Sliema, Gżira, or nearby St. Julian’s. That spot is easy to reach on foot or by bus. You can also get transfers to other localities when booking this option (which comes at an additional fee).

What’s included in this boat tour:

  • Free drinks during the entire cruise (water, soft drinks, wine and beer)
  • Hot and cold buffet lunch including steak, a selection of vegetables, cold meat cuts, different salad varieties and fresh fruit to suit different dietary requirements.

Aside from the obvious destination (the Blue Lagoon), you’ll also anchor at a few secluded bays near Gozo. And on the way, you get great views of the capital city Valletta, St. Julian’s, St Paul’s Bay (and St. Paul’s island), and Mellieħa Bay while sipping a drink.

The tour starts at 9:15 am and returns at Sliema by 5 pm, making it a 7-hour and 45-minute trip.

Private boat tours to the Blue Lagoon

Interested in a more quiet and private experience at your own pace?

Private boat tours can be a great option, where you can rent your private boat for a few hours, half a day or a full day. It’ll be just you and your company, plus the captain on board, and you can moor away from the most crowded parts of the bay to enjoy the crystal-clear waters at Comino.

The departure location can be chosen from various locations along the North coast of Malta as well as Gozo, so you have a lot of flexibility. For example, you can customise the itinerary to spend a little less time at the busy Blue Lagoon and head over to the stunning – and much quieter – Crystal Lagoon nearby.

Snorkelling equipment to explore the nearby marine life is provided, and there’s an ice cooler on board for your drinks. You can ask the captain to stop at different spots for food or bring your own food if you prefer.

This provider specialises in this type of boat tour to the Blue Lagoon, and they’re an easy recommendation to make from personal experience . With a highly customisable trip plan, friendly skippers and an overall hassle-free experience, this is just what you want on a well-deserved holiday.

This type of boat tour is in high demand and has limited availability. Book well in advance to avoid missing out!

Sunset private boat

Private sunset boat trip to the Blue Lagoon.

  • Ċirkewwa or Mġarr Harbour (Gozo)

This is a 3-hour private boat trip at the perfect time of day and long enough to enjoy a quieter visit on your own boat

Half-day private boat

Private boat trip to the Blue Lagoon.

Also a 3-hour private boat, but during the morning or afternoon (which you can choose).

Full-day private boat

Full-day private boat tour to the Blue Lagoon.

Rent a private boat for a full 6 hours, with a custom itinerary and everything you’d expect on your day out.

Gozo and Comino combo boat tours

If you’re planning on visiting Gozo (you absolutely should, even if it’s just for half a day!), these are a few full-day boat tours to consider

You can combine a visit to Comino and its Blue Lagoon with a land tour of Gozo in a single (easy-paced) day. It’s a great way to get a taste of both, with enough time to enjoy the experience and not feel like a rushed day out.

Blue Lagoon & Gozo Tuk Tuk Sunset Tour

Tuk Tuk boat tour to the Blue Lagoon and Gozo by sunset.

  • Anywhere in Malta
  • From €79 p.p.

This (all-inclusive!) Blue Lagoon and Gozo Tuk Tuk tour runs from mid-May to mid-October and is great for both couples and groups.

It’s a full day out (6-7 hours excluding transport) and is provided by a renowned Malta tour operator that consistently gets 5/5 reviews—a fun day out in safe hands.

This is also a great option if you don’t like early morning wake-ups on your holiday. The tour starts in the early afternoon!

You’ll start off with a visit and swim at the Blue Lagoon on a boat tour there that departs from Ċirkewwa, in the northernmost part of Malta. Don’t worry; transfers from your place of stay are included in the tour, so all you need is to prepare for your day and be at the pick-up point on time!

The brightly-coloured Tuk Tuks that will take you around in Gozo can seat up to six passengers and are driven by a local expert who will tell you all about the island on the way.

Included in the price:

  • Transport from your place of stay (anywhere in Malta or Gozo)
  • 2+ Hours at Comino’s Crystal and Blue Lagoons by boat
  • A light traditional Gozitan dinner
  • A sightseeing tour of Gozo on 6-seater Tuk-Tuks, chauffeured by a knowledgeable driver who will take you to some of the most beautiful sights on the island. This tour takes you to Sanap Cliffs (Munxar), Xlendi Bay, Cliffs and Caves, Dwejra Bay (including Fungus Rock, Inland Sea & Watch Tower), Ta’ Pinu Basilica and Shrine (Għarb), Wied il-Għasri, Xwejni Salt Pans, Qbajjar and Marsalforn Bay.

TIP: During the rest of the year, you can still get a regular Tuk Tuk tour of Gozo , combined with a boat tour past Comino and its main sights, but you won’t be able to enjoy a swim stop at the Blue Lagoon. (It’s a little too cold for that anyway outside the high season.)

Blue Lagoon & Gozo Quad Bike Sunset Tour

Quad bike boat tour to the Blue Lagoon and Gozo by sunset.

  • From €110 p.p.

Looking for a bit more adventure? Taking a Quad Bike tour of Gozo allows you to see some of the island’s stunning natural beauty, landmarks and secluded beaches, and makes for a fun day out.

You can get an all-inclusive Sunset Tour by Quad Bike of Gozo , which starts with a boat tour that includes a refreshing swim stop at the Blue Lagoon and Crystal Lagoon. This tour runs between 15th May and 15th October.

It also takes you past a few of the sea caves around the beautiful Comino Island on the way to Mġarr Harbour.

There, you’ll be welcomed by your lead driver, who knows Gozo inside out and will tell you all about the stops on the way. They’ll take you through a safety briefing and provide everything you need to hop on your quad bike first.

These quad bikes are high-powered 570cc ATV vehicles that can seat a driver (min. 21 years of age) and a passenger. It’s a unique combo tour, perfect for couples and small groups.

Just like the Tuk-Tuk version of this tour, this is included in the price:

  • 2+ Hours at Comino’s Crystal Lagoon and Blue Lagoons by boat
  • A light traditional Gozitan lunch
  • A sightseeing tour of Gozo, on quad bikes, following a lead driver to some of the most stunning landmarks and into nature, off the beaten path. This tour takes you to: The Church of St. John The Baptist (Xewkija), Sanap Cliffs (Munxar), Xlendi Bay, Cliffs and Belvedere, Knights’ Wash houses (Fontana), Dwejra Bay and its watchtower, Fungus Rock and Inland Sea (San Lawrenz), Wied il-Mielah Window (Gharb), Wied il-Ghasri, Xwejni Salt Pans, Qbajjar (and the stunning salt pans), Marsalforn Bay, and Tal-Mixta cave (Nadur).

TIP: Just like the Tuk Tuk variety, you can get a regular Quad bike tour of Gozo outside of the summer season, which is also a lot of fun. You’ll also get a short boat trip that takes you past the Blue Lagoon and Crystal Lagoon but won’t include a (swim) stop.

Blue Lagoon & Gozo combo

Getting to the Crystal Lagoon on a boat tour is the easiest way.

  • From €30 p.p.

If you prefer having a wander around Gozo yourself, you can take this low-cost boat tour that also combines a stop at the Blue Lagoon with 3 hours of free exploration in Gozo.

What you’re paying for is half a day in Comino and transport to spend the afternoon on Malta’s sister island. There are plenty of options for transport once you arrive at Mġarr Harbour in Gozo, from hop-on/hop-off buses to regular public transport, Ubers/taxis as well as bike rental.

You can also opt to book transport in advance, which will take you to either Victoria (the largest town and home to the Citadel of Gozo) or Xlendi (a picturesque bay in the South of the island).

This is an option to consider, but I would personally recommend either of the previous two options .

Round Malta & Gozo boat tours (full day)

Round malta cruise (full day).

Taking a round Malta day cruise on a Turkish gullet.

Being a small island nation, part of Malta’s charm and natural beauty is its surrounding sea.

Hopping on a boat tour is a great way to tour Malta along its impressive coastline while relaxing in the sun.

This Round Malta Cruise is a well-reviewed full-day tour (10 am – 4:45 pm on Tuesdays and Fridays ) that takes you all around the island. Heading clockwise around Malta, you’ll depart from Sliema to take in the sights of Valletta and its Grand Harbour entrance, Marsascala and St. Thomas Bay, St. Peter’s Pool (bay), Marsaxlokk and Delimara Point, the Blue Grotto (more on that spot below), Dingli Cliffs, Anchor Bay and Popeye Village (named after the 1980 movie with Robin Williams that was shot there).

You’ll then head to Comino and its Blue Lagoon, followed by Mellieħa Bay, St. Paul’s Bay and its island, St. Julian’s and returning to Sliema. Throughout the trip, you’ll be provided with commentary on the various spots you’ll be passing from.

Included in this tour:

  • A well-catered buffet lunch, including free drinks (water/soft drinks)
  • Free bottled water during the tour
  • Optional: Transport to/from your place of stay.

Round Gozo Cruise (full day)

Round Gozo full day cruise.

  • From €70 p.p.

Malta’s sister island is known for its natural beauty, and this trip is a great way to view some of Gozo’s magnificent bays on the sea.

This Round Gozo Cruise tour boat sails from Sliema, past Comino and onto several of Gozo’s bays, with a route depending on weather conditions. Stops often included are the stunning Dwejra Bay (southwestern coast) as well as Ramla Bay and other, more secluded beaches in the North of Gozo.

Valletta Harbour Cruise

The Valletta Harbour Cruise is a popular boat trip for visitors to Valletta.

If you’d like to explore Valletta’s harbours specifically, you can hop on one of the most popular Malta boat tours: The Harbour Cruise .

This Valletta harbour cruise tour takes you around the two natural harbours on either side of Valletta: Grand Harbour (on the side of The Three Cities and the Valletta Waterfront) and Marsamxett Harbour (on the side of Sliema). With a trip time of around 90 minutes, you can get guided commentary in English and German while taking in the views.

These cruises depart from Sliema Ferries (Valletta-facing seafront) three times a day: At 10.30 am, 11.40 am and 12 pm. There’s a stop along the way at Kalkara (near the Three Cities) where you can get off to explore the Esplora Interactive Science Center (great for kids) and hop back on at the next departure time. (Applicable only to the first two trips of the day).

(More info here: Valletta harbour cruise tours .)

Blue Grotto Boat Tour

Combine a Blue Grotto Malta boat trip with a visit to Marsaxlokk.

The Blue Grotto sea cave , with beautiful rock formations, is one of Malta’s most popular destinations because of its natural beauty. Because the sea floor inside is covered in light-coloured sand, the sunlight that shines into the cave reflects on its ceiling, creating a stunning effect.

Since it’s a little remote (in the South of Malta), it’s a destination best combined with another, and a great combiner is to stop at Marsaxlokk.

This half day Blue Grotto and Marsaxlokk tour makes this combination very easy to do and is held on Sundays. Apart from getting a boat tour into the Blue Grotto cave, you’ll head to the fishing village of Marsaxlokk to take in the views and visit the Sunday market.

Malta boat party

  • Solo travellers, couples

Interested in getting a unique experience in Malta’s nightlife scene in summer? Take a Boat Party for a really awesome night out.

You’ll depart from Sliema (Valletta-facing side) at around 18:30h, boarding a large wooden gullet (type of boat). As the sun sets, you’ll be enjoying some great music and dance, drink in hand and cooling down with the sea breeze. You’ll be back in Sliema at around midnight, but you can join the afterparty in the nearby Paceville area of St. Julian’s.

More info here: Malta boat parties .

  • Open bar with spirits, beers and soft drinks
  • DJ and great music
  • Jump and swim in the sea at one of the stops on the way
  • Games on board.

Boat Tours to Sicily

Mt. etna and taormina.

The beautiful town of Taormina: A great option to visit for day trips from Malta to Sicily.

With this Malta to Sicily day trip , you can take a large catamaran that sails from Valletta to the port of Pozzallo in Sicily. Once you arrive, you’ll board an air-conditioned coach that will be taking you around some of the best places on the island.

This trip is organised on Thursdays and Sundays from May to September, and on your trip you’ll visit sites including:

  • The beautiful seaside town of Taormina
  • Mount Etna – Europe’s largest and most active volcano.

Syracuse, Marzamemi and Noto

Noto is a beautiful village and great destination on tours from Malta to Sicily.

Alternatively, you can take this Malta to Sicily trip that takes you to the beautiful villages of Syracuse, Marzamemi and Noto. This is a quieter tour package option, with a lot less time on the road and with more rural views and small village visits to Sicily.

Organised on Wednesdays and Fridays (also from May to September), this option also takes you across to Sicily on a large catamaran.

Where do you get the boat to the Blue Lagoon in Malta?

You can get the boat to the Blue Lagoon in Malta from Marfa or Ċirkewwa (basic ferry, long drive), or you can get a boat trip from Sliema (easy to reach from St. Julian’s and Valletta) or Buġibba (within walking distance from St. Paul’s Bay and Qawra).

What are the best boat trips in Malta?

The best boat trips in Malta are cruises around the islands of Malta and Gozo, the Blue Grotto in the South of Malta, and the Blue and Crystal Lagoons on Comino Island.
