Important Notice: Following a new directive issued by the Government of Malta, effective May 2025, to disembark ashore at the Blue Lagoon, one must obtain an access pass in advance. Passes can be acquired through the official government website blcomino.com. Please ensure you acquire this pass in advance, as the daily pass allocation is limited. You will not be allowed to disembark at the Blue Lagoon without an official pass. For this trip, you are required to book the afternoon timeslot when applying for your pass. Kindly note that this is a government-mandated regulation and not a policy introduced by us. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.
The boat is wheelchair and stroller accessible; however, the island of Comino is not wheelchair or stroller friendly. The terrain on Comino Island is very uneven and rugged, which makes it very difficult to navigate with a wheelchair or a stroller.
A cash bar serving some snacks and other beverages is available on the boat. Both cash and credit card payments are accepted at the bar.
Guests lodging within walking distance from Sliema Ferries (from where the boat departs) must always make their own way to the boat and should arrive at the departure point 20–30 minutes before the scheduled departure time.
If you are making your own way to the boat, the departure is from Sliema Ferries, Triq Ix-Xatt, Sliema (in the area opposite the Basilica of Jesus of Nazareth). When you arrive at this location, you need to look for a Turkish gulet (a traditional-design wooden sailing vessel); the name of the boat is the 'Hera'.

Well-kept ship. Far more comfortable than the big steamers. The path led over the interesting south coast . First stop for lunch with swimming in beautiful.m water in bay. ALONE, Iunch with antipasti... then Blue Lagoon. Touri hotspot. The feeder boats all dock outside the lagoon. You swim between the ships. Or wander uncomfortably to the beautiful, not so lonely beach. Good footwear recommended. No bath slippers! Return via the north coast. Total 8 1/2 hours. Total : nice day trip. The BL itself Istria trip not worth....

The cruise with Hera 2 was a wonderful experience and I would happily recommend it to anyone visiting Malta. The boat itself is very comfortable and not overcrowded, which made the whole day feel relaxing and easy going. We visited several beautiful bays with crystal clear water where we had time to swim and simply enjoy the views. The crew was extremely friendly and attentive, always making sure that everyone was comfortable and had what they needed. Snacks and soft drinks were available throughout the day, which was a nice touch. Lunch was tasty and freshly prepared, and during the meal wine and beer were included free of charge, which made it even more enjoyable. What I liked most was the combination of a laid back atmosphere with good organization. Everything ran smoothly, the boat was clean, and the schedule allowed us to both explore and relax. It never felt rushed. Overall this cruise gave us a perfect balance between sightseeing, swimming, good food, and relaxing with family and friends. I would definitely recommend Hera2 to anyone looking for a pleasant day on the sea around Malta

Fantastic trip, would highly recommend! Was unsure what the food would be like but it was absolutely delicious, lovely staff, and the three stops were perfect for allowing swim time, including at the beautiful blue lagoon. As a tip just go into the first bay at the blue lagoon where the boat stops, we followed the crowds and it was so busy further along, where the first cove was just as nice!

The crew on board gave us a great experience, with particularly good food, and a beautiful boat to explore and - importantly - jump off!
