Cancelled that day due to strong winds, too bad. By the way, a refund has not yet taken place.

Amazing tour! Beautiful views, water like a dream, got to swim in a clear water, and last but not least explore new places. Captain and his helper were amazing and funny. It’s a smaller boat than those huge ones but it is much more peaceful and “personal”, my feet were hanging out of the boat and water sometimes touced them. Totally suggest!

The experience wasn't bad - but the customer service was poor, which made the trip stressful & not as enjoyable. We received a text message at midnight the night before the trip to say the trip time had been changed to a whole hour earlier - therefore we had to rush and only just made it after having to pay extra for a taxi & missing breakfast. The customer service following this was shocking - being told they sent an email (to which I checked & never received any correspondence from them), followed by being ignored!

The crew were lovely and the boat was nice and clean. Timings were good and everything ran smooth, no waiting about. It was easy to find in saint Paul's bay too. However, the waves were SO choppy and on a little boat like that it made us feel really really sick. When we got to Gozo we decided to not get the boat back and to get the ferry (€5) instead to avoid the sickness. The blue lagoon was SO busy too, they say you need a pass to get in but don't stop the amount of people having one, nowhere to put any belongings, leave them on the boat is my advice.

The boat trip was great, we first made a 1.5h stop at blue lagoon which was very beautiful. Then we hopped back onto the boat and got dropped off at Gozo port where it there was the option to get a bus into Victoria, but we decided to hang around the post where there were a few small quiet restaurants where we stopped for lunch. Once back on the boat, we made one final stop at st.Paul island where there was the option to either explore the island or swim. Snorkels were available to rent at €5. Our captain and skipper were very helpful and knowledgable. Thank you for a wonderful trip!

Took this trip today with friends. Very well run with friendly and informative crew. Information regarding times for meet ups was drip fed to us as the day went on so as not to overload us! We were additionally given the option to take the bus trip to and from the drop off point in Gozo to the capital Victoria. There was a small extra cost for this but it was well worth doing. A piece of advice: if you are going to the Blue Lagoon don’t forget to separately download the QR code as you will need to show this on arrival. This is free, but if you want a deckchair and parasol it’s an extra cost (run by the BL authorities). We all had a great day - would definitely recommend this boat trip.

The time spent at Gozo was inadequate and the expected cave experience didn’t happen. The crew were excellent. It was quite hard to find our way back to the pickup point on Gozo.
