Nothing was included with it. You had to pay for water, and food. It was over crowded where they stopped.
A must do!

Excellent day trip, it’s fun, it’s beautiful and a must do! Get there early if you want a deck chair on top deck! Food and drinks onboard are very reasonably priced. We would have done this tour again if we had another day in Malta.
Busy boat but great views

It was nice to see Comino and Gozo on this boat trip. The only thing is to be aware that the boat might be very busy (as was in our case).

Whilst the natural beauty, water, and culture spoke for themselves—the crew did not. Despite overall enjoying the day, not getting our deposit back after returning our storage locker key, as well as our driver leaving us behind, even when showing up early left us with some barriers in being able to fully feel like we could relax. Some organizational issues still remain that inhibit this from being a fully enjoyable experience; namely, fine tuning these will be a major help.

Arriving at the port it isn’t made very clear that you will need to queue and register for a landing pass. If this could have been done in advance it would have been much less stressful. Comino is very beautiful but very busy. There isn’t many places to bathe or sit even. In Gozo after buying a drink in a bar we were told that we couldn’t use their toilet? This according to them was because the island capital had no running water ? The toilet by the coach carpark was fine. When we got back to Malta a local lady told us this seems to be a regular fib in the same bar !!! Goodness knows why but it did feel like a very unwelcoming way to treat paying customers. The trip was lovely. Definitely worth a visit to both places. A very busy boat but the staff were friendly and prices on board were reasonable.
