Jet Ski Safari Malta: Blue Lagoon & Crystal Lagoon

Ride your own jet ski across turquoise channels to sea caves and lagoons most boats can't reach

A 45-minute jet ski safari departing from Ċirkewwa takes you across Malta's clearest waters to the Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon, and Comino's sea caves, where you stop to swim and snorkel directly off your ski. You operate the jet ski yourself, guided by an experienced team, and explore hidden coves and dramatic cliffs at speed, then slow to explore Popeye Cave's collapsed roof and turquoise reflections. Life jacket, mask, snorkel and fuel are included.

The experience

You arrive at Ċirkewwa, the northern tip of Malta, where the marina sits steps from the water. After a safety briefing, you mount your own jet ski and throttle across the bright channel toward Comino. The 45-minute route is built around stops, not just speed: you'll pull up to the Blue Lagoon's soft white sand and turquoise shallows, drop anchor and slip into the water with your mask and snorkel while the cliffs of Comino frame the view. The lagoon is quieter than the crowded beach versions because you arrive by ski, and you stay as long as the guide allows before firing up again.

Crystal Lagoon sits just beside it, ringed by towering cliffs and hidden caves you can only reach this way. The route threads through narrow passages between small islets, each one opening onto clear bays and rocky outcrops. Popeye Cave is the signature moment: a sea cave with its roof collapsed, letting sunlight pour through and turn the shallow water inside an impossible blue. You ride close enough to see the rock formations and take the photo, then circle back out. The whole arc (speed, then snorkel, then a cave that looks like it shouldn't exist) is what makes this different from a boat tour where you watch from a seat.

You need to be at least 18 and comfortable operating a jet ski. The guide leads the group and sets the pace. All permits and fuel are covered in the price, and you wear a life jacket the whole time. The experience ends back at Ċirkewwa, where you return the ski and dry off before heading into the rest of your day.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What is the Blue Lagoon like when you arrive by jet ski?

The Blue Lagoon is Malta's most famous natural attraction, known for its turquoise waters and soft white sand beneath the surface. When you arrive by jet ski, you stop and swim and snorkel directly from your ski, away from the crowds on the beach, surrounded by the cliffs of Comino and Cominotto.

Can you actually enter Popeye Cave on this safari?

Popeye Cave, or L-Għar ta' Bla Saqaf, has a collapsed roof that lets sunlight pour in and create blue reflections inside. During the safari, you ride your jet ski very close through the shallow turquoise waters to see the cave's natural rock formations up close, though the cave itself is explored from the water rather than entered on foot.

What makes Comino worth the jet ski ride?

Comino is a small island between Malta and Gozo with no cars or permanent residents, famous for its untouched nature, crystal-clear waters, and hidden sea caves. During the safari, you circle around its rugged coastline and discover secret spots and panoramic views that can only be reached by jet ski.

Do you need experience to operate the jet ski?

No prior jet ski experience is required. You must be at least 18 years old and comfortable operating the ski. An experienced guide leads the group and sets the pace throughout the 45-minute route.
