Comino speedboat tour from St. Julian's: Enter the caves

This speedboat tour departs St. Julian's at 9am and reaches Comino in 40 minutes, with a guide in English, two swimming stops, and a full circuit of the island's caves: entering them rather than viewing from offshore. The boat holds a maximum of 20 people. You'll spend roughly three hours in the water across Blue Lagoon and Santa Marija Bay, with the return to St. Julian's around 3:30pm. A complimentary drink waits on the return.

The experience
The boat leaves Happy Dayz Bar at 9am sharp after a safety briefing and welcome coffee. The speedboat cruises the northeast coast of Malta toward Comino, taking 40 minutes to reach the first stop. Before the crowds arrive at Blue Lagoon, you'll pass through the Crystal Lagoon and enter the Comino Caves. The operator goes all the way inside when conditions allow, which most competitors don't do. You'll see the Lovers Cave and the cave used during filming of Troy, then drop into Blue Lagoon for swimming and free time until pickup at 12:30pm.
The second swimming stop is Santa Marija Bay, a natural sandy beach far quieter than the lagoon. You'll have time to swim and unwind before the boat picks you up at 2:45pm. From there, the route follows the full north and east circuit of Comino: The Door, The Window, multiple Santa Marija caves (up to five depending on sea conditions), Elephant Rock, and a string of smaller formations. On the return leg, you'll cruise past Coral Lagoon, Smugglers Cave, Mellieha Bay, Selmun Bay, and St. Paul's Islands before arriving back at Happy Dayz around 3:30pm.
The tour runs seven hours total. Passengers may get wet from water spray, so protect personal belongings. The guide speaks English and children from age 1 are welcome. The exact timing depends on sea conditions, and the boat carries a maximum of 20 people per departure.
