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.
If you have booked the option that includes pick-up and drop-off transfers, please note that the time shown on the website or on your ticket is the departure time of the cruise and not the time when you will be picked up from your hotel (or closest meeting point). At least a few days before the date of your activity, you need to make sure to contact the tour operator to confirm your pick-up location and pick-up time.
If you have booked the option that includes pick-up and drop-off transfers, please make sure to contact the provider to confirm your pick-up location (meeting point) and your pick-up time.
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'.
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.
Pets, large luggage, and large suitcases are not allowed on the boat.
Non-foldable wheelchairs cannot be transported in vehicles or on the boat.
Snorkelling equipment (mask and pipe, no fins) is available for hire on a first-come, first-served basis at a small fee of around €5 per person. This fee can change without prior notice.
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.
We suggest bringing some cash with you; the internet connection on the island of Comino is not always stable; therefore, at times only cash payments can be accepted on Comino Island.
The provider reserves the right to alter the itinerary subject to weather conditions or unforeseen operational constraints.
No refunds will be issued to customers who are unable to disembark at the Blue Lagoon due to not having a government-issued pass. It is the customer's responsibility to obtain the required pass in advance.
Not recommended for travellers with mobility impairments.
Not recommended for travellers who are prone to seasickness.

5.00Stops and food were good. Plenty of seating on our trip. Do take sun protection as we weren’t in the shade. Some of the bays were quite distant.

5.00We booked the boat tour spontaneously via Tripadvisor. It was so worth it!! The organization and crew were very professional and we were welcomed super friendly from the beginning. There were snacks on board and free drinks as well as cocktails and spirits for little money. At lunch there was something for everyone and it was enough for us. We made two stops and were allowed to go swimming in beautiful coves. You could rent diving goggles and snorkels for 5€ and go to the Santa Maria caves for 20€ per person with a speedboat. We did the same and it was such a great experience. All in all, we can highly recommend the provider! Thanks for this great day! All the best for you, Magdalena and Selina. ☀️🫶🏻💗

5.00This was an excellent trip and gave some new info on the island and the views where excellent. It's a pity I can't swim as the swimming stops were great. The lunch was lovely and a good selection of different food. I did the optional speed boat tour, and this was exhilarating, and for someone who does not swim, it was a challenge. The staff were very attentive and friendly. I would highly recommend this trip.
Generally OK

4.00Nice cruise. To be done as a couple or with friends or family with children (at least 10 years) The cruise starts at 9:30 am and returns around 5:30 pm-6 pm. The course is beautiful. We're going around the island of Malta. There are beautiful landscapes. The first stop in a creek is top (+-1h: swimming + meals). Bathe in warm, crystal clear water. Take mask or glasses to observe the fish. (Even if you have the possibility to rent or buy mask and snorkel on site) The second stop in the blue lagoon of Comino is splendid. Apart from other boats and tourists. Very, very numerous. It's the big crowd spot! There's a little snack in the morning. A cold buffet at lunch (local specialities) Don't jump on it, there will be something for everyone... The snack of the snack is very summary. Just a piece of watermelon (but we're not here to make fat...😉) There is music throughout the day (pretty cool playlist for quadras and quinqua... Or for fans of the 80' 90') And Audio Guide in English broadcast as you approach the remarkable areas. 4 accessible cabins for toilets. Very welcoming staff Unlimited soft drinks. Alcohol for a fee. The downside or not... the organizer has optimized many participants to the maximum. So we're a little tight. There are benches and fleece carpets on the floor. So if you like your comfort, arrive an hour early. The cruise line respects the order of arrival. First come, first served. And don't see waiting for the sails to come out. Everything is done by motor. But very good value Award. That was great. I think it's a must-see experience. I hope my review will help you. Enjoy your stay in Malta.
Too much people

3.00It was great. But to much crowd. It was no space for all. Half of the people would be perfect. Otherwise stuff and food was ok.
