5.00Relaxing day, nice boat, well organised. Good facilities on the boat. Amazing views at Comino and Blue Lagoon. Highly Recommended!
This trip was lovely but the staff could have explained what to expect and do better.

3.00The boat staff did not make it clear to how to go into the caves and we totally missed the opportunity to do this. The boat dropped us off and left for 2 hours and there was not much to do. When the boat returned we sat on it for over an hour waiting for others to return.
Little value

3.00It was fine, basically a glorified ferry taxi ride for the most part. Very little information given during the boat ride. Lots of free time, depending on what you booked. I'd probably skip this tbh and just do a solo independently planned day trip to Comino and/or Gozo where you're not tied to some arbitrary schedule dependent on others
Epic tour you won’t forget!

5.00Really good experience! Before you board it’s worth noting that the bar only takes cash - so have some euros with you. Fast service out to Comino and great stops.
Beautiful trip to Blue Lagoon via Gozo

4.00I honestly can't fault the cruise company. The service was good, with calm seas we left Sliema heading along the coast with beautiful views of Malta whilst heading to Gozo all whilst passing some spectacular caves. We had good weather which meant that we could stop at Crystal Lagoon for some swimming and snorkelling. We were the only boat there at the time, so the water was ours to enjoy and clear down to the bottom, albeit deep! The we sailed into Blue Lagoon, which was very crowded. Don't get me wrong, the water was beautiful but what wasn't nice was how crowded it was and it was full of drunk and loud people who weren't there for the swimming which for me, ruined the experience. We asked the staff on the boat where they would recommend for the best spots for snorkelling and they were happy to give recommendations away from the crowds. The swimming and snorkelling was stunning and the service along with the food onboard was very good as was the length of the whole visit. There is a very reasonable admission fee to the Blue Lagoon that has to be paid prior to the outward journey, so they can be on top of the numbers, which is checked when you disembark the boat on arrival. My only gripe is that the number of tickets sold per day must be huge as the crowds made the day a dissapointment. On a quieter day, this trip would be incredible and for that I wouldn't be able to fault this tour.
It is a nice tour but...

5.00It is a nice tour but dress warmly in the winter months. Blue Lagoon island was nice as well as the St. Mary caves.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended tour!

5.00The tour starting from Sliema was a real highlight of our stay in Malta. The crossing to Gozo was already impressive, especially the visit to the citadel in Victoria, from which you have a fantastic view over the island. Afterwards we continued to Comino with a stop at the beautiful Blue Lagoon – crystal clear water and enough time to swim and relax. The trip along the coasts of Malta was particularly impressive: The ship sailed very close to the steep rocks, grottoes and caves, so you could experience nature up close. The view from the water is simply spectacular. Everything was well organized, the crew friendly and the route perfectly chosen. An unforgettable experience – this tour should not be missed in Malta!
A Great Adventure.

5.00The trip to Comino was very interesting. Admission to the island was free. Due to the time of year, the island was not too crowded. We had the opportunity to explore the island for a few hours, swim in the Blue Lagoon, and see the caves on the way back. The ship's crew was very friendly and helpful. I recommend this trip.
Looking forward to doing this again

4.00The full-day cruise was an amazing experience with stunning locations throughout. The crew were incredibly kind and knowledgeable, answering all my questions and providing interesting commentary about each spot we passed. The sea was very bumpy with high tides this season. They gave us plenty of time at the caves and other scenic locations to take photos and videos without feeling rushed. We missed the Blue Lagoon slide since I visited in winter, but that's a great reason to come back in summer! Overall, a fantastic experience with beautiful scenery and an excellent crew. Highly recommend, and I'll definitely be booking again!
