Two swims in three hours: the Blue Lagoon and Crystal Lagoon on one boat.

The boat carries fresh water showers, sun deck and sun shade. A bar onboard serves drinks. The tour runs three hours and suits all fitness levels. Children from age 2 are welcome, though infants sit on an adult's lap.

The experience

The boat leaves Xlendi Bay and heads south along Gozo's coast, passing the Sanap Cliffs and Ta' Ċenċ Cliffs before reaching Comino. The first stop is the Blue Lagoon, where you swim and snorkel in the shallow turquoise water. The boat then moves to the Crystal Caves for scenic views before continuing to the Crystal Lagoon for a second swim. After that, the route circles Cominotto for more views before heading back.

The speedboat has a sun deck and shaded areas, and fresh water showers let you rinse off salt water between swims. A bar onboard sells soft drinks, beer, Aperol Spritz and water (cash or card). The price covers the boat and fuel with no hidden charges. Because sea conditions can shift, the departure point may move depending on the weather forecast, and the operator asks you not to book this for your last day in case conditions force a cancellation.
