The experience
The boat leaves from either Cirkewwa on Malta's north coast or Mgarr Harbor in Gozo, and your skipper, who doubles as your private guide, welcomes you onboard before you both map out the day together. That planning step matters: it means the route bends to what you want to see, not a fixed itinerary. Once you're under way, the sun deck is yours to claim while the skipper handles the navigation, and you can stream your own music through the boat's speakers.
The tour typically includes 2 to 3 stops, each lasting 25 to 60 minutes depending on how many you choose. Blue Lagoon is the most popular: the turquoise water between Comino and Cominotto is shallow and clear enough for snorkeling right from the boat. Crystal Lagoon, tucked into Comino's eastern edge, draws fewer crowds and offers the same translucent water and rocky shoreline. Santa Maria Bay sits on the island's southern coast and opens onto a sandy beach where you can wade ashore. At any stop, you decide: stay aboard to swim and float, or climb out and walk the island's paths. The skipper also navigates past the Santa Maria Caves, sea-carved passages you can enter by boat or swim into if the water is calm.
Snorkeling masks are provided, and there's an ice box on deck for food and drinks you bring along. The whole outing runs about three hours, including travel time between stops. Infants can ride in a pram or stroller, and the boat suits all fitness levels. You're swimming and relaxing, not hiking or climbing.
Is this one for you?The route is yours to shape with your skipper before you leave the harbor, so the stops and timing fit what you want to see rather than a set schedule: ideal if you'd rather swim longer at one lagoon than rush through several, or if you want to spend time exploring the island on foot at certain stops.

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's the difference between Blue Lagoon and Crystal Lagoon on this tour?
Blue Lagoon sits between Comino and Cominotto in shallow, clear water ideal for snorkeling and is the most visited stop. Crystal Lagoon lies along Comino's eastern coast in a more secluded spot with the same crystalline water and rocky surroundings but fewer crowds.
Can I walk around Comino Island during the stops, or do I stay on the boat?
You choose at each stop: swim and relax aboard, or climb out and explore the island's paths and shoreline on foot while the skipper waits with the boat.
Do I get to see inside the Santa Maria Caves?
The skipper navigates the boat past and into the Santa Maria Caves so you can see the sea-carved rock formations and turquoise water inside. You can also swim into them if conditions allow.
What should I bring for food and drinks?
Bring your own food and drinks. There's an ice box on the boat to keep them cool during the three-hour tour.
