Departure at 9 am by catamaran or 11 am by boat from Bugibba. The cruise to the island of Comino takes in the scenery of Malta’s north coast. The itinerary includes the Blue Lagoon for snorkeling and swimming, access to the Crystal Lagoon caves, and the chance to dive from a waterslide or relax on the boat deck.
The journey to Comino takes around 1 hour, offering exceptional views of the sea and the Maltese coast. Passengers sail along the coast to admire cliffs, rocky nooks and hidden coves. Passing by the small island of Saint-Paul, it’s possible to observe a statue of the apostle Saint-Paul. Sea caves are also on the program, ideal for capturing memorable photos. A one-hour stopover is scheduled at Crystal Lagoon, accessible only by boat and ideal for swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving, with waterslides for those who wish to dive in.
The evening excursion includes a 2-hour stop at the Blue Lagoon and a 30-minute stop at the Crystal Lagoon. On arrival at the Blue Lagoon, the boat moors in a privileged area. Participants can use the boat as a base, with facilities including a large waterslide and a deck with sun loungers.
Afternoons can be spent swimming from the boat or exploring the small island. Comino, with no urban areas and no cars, is also a popular destination in winter, attracting hikers and photographers with its scents of wild thyme. At the end of the day, the return trip to the port of Buġibba includes a visit to the Santa Maria pirate caves and the rock formation known as “elephant’s head”.
Departure is from Bugibba, the meeting point for boarding the ship to the two islands. On board, passengers can enjoy cold drinks and a breathtaking view of the Maltese coastline. The Crystal Lagoon is the first port of call, a well-kept secret from tourists, offering clear water for swimming and snorkeling, with waterslides for jumping into the water.
Afterwards, the famous Blue Lagoon is accessible for 1 hour, allowing passengers to enjoy the environment and comfortable facilities on board. In Gozo, participants have 3 hours to explore the island. The capital Rabat, with its many historical attractions, is one of the points of interest, as is a picturesque fishing village to the southwest, surrounded by cliffs.
The day ends with a boat trip back to Bugibba, passing the pirate caves and the so-called “elephant head” formation. Several boat options are available, from medium-sized craft for fewer passengers to large catamarans with underwater windows for observing marine life. Onboard facilities include waterslides, shaded and sunny seating, swimming ladders, toilets, refreshments for sale and audio commentary available in several languages.
