Highlights
  • Hondoq Bay - This is our usual starting point for the Comino tour. Please note that it may change due to weather or other factors. Please read your messages before the tour and contact us if in doubt.

Here, we will set you up with the equipment and make sure you are comfortable in your kayak. You’ll meet your guide and do a safety briefing. Then we set you on your way!

  • Gozo Channel - We generally start with a short paddle along the Gozo coastline to get comfortable in our kayaks before our journey takes us across the Gozo Channel Comino! The crossing usually takes about 20min and is approx. 800m at the narrowest point. This is where the adventure really gets started!
  • Blue Lagoon - We try to see as much as we can of Comino based on the weather conditions and busyness on the water! But it won’t be possible to see everything every trip!

We do make every effort to stop in or nearby the beautiful Blue Lagoon for a break. In this time you can swim, explore the chrystal blue sea or just relax if you would like. If we cannot land in or nearby we will be sure to kayak into the first part of the Blue Lagoon so you can enjoy it from the water!

On our way we pass by and explore a number of gorgeous caves and bays. It’s awesome!

  • Cominotto Reef - Cominotto is not easily accessible to regular tourists, but kayaks can make use of the perfect entrance through the secret tunnel through the island to the Blue Lagoon! An unforgettable experience in itself!
  • Crystal Lagoon - When the weather allows we can kayak around the back of Cominotto and head to explore the stunning clear waters, hidden tunnels and awe-inspiring open-top caves in the Crystal lagoon. We can see where films like Troy (Brad Pitt), Swept Away (Madonna) and the Count of Monte Cristo were filmed!
  • San Niklaw Bay - Hidden around the corner from San Niklaw Bay is our favourite swimming spot. It is a hidden gorge only easily accessible by water. We lovingly refer to it as Urchin’s Bay and it contains a wealth of marine life!
  • **

alfa Rock** -

alfa Rock, also known as Oath Rock or Qala Rock is a stunning stand alone island just off the coast of Gozo. Your guide will tell you all about the pirate lord and show the 700 year old hermit hut and St Anthony’s Battery!

  • Santa Marija Bay - We also visit the Santa Marija Bay area. It is great for swimming and relaxing. If time allows, we sometimes take a short walk exploring some epic lookout points and can even crawl into the Smuggler’s Cave from the land entrance!

Please understand that all our tours are weather-dependent and not all areas may be accessible. Also, the Comino tours are not always possible due to winds or other factors. The tours are subject to a location change. If so, we will notify you before the tour, so always check your messages and contact us if you are in doubt.

A lovely day exploring Comino. - My family loved exploring the various caves and coves that are only easily accessible by kayak. My wife and I were worried that the crossing from Gozo to Comino and back would be tough going but it was fine. We've both kayaked many decades ago, and it turned out we could still keep up with the youngsters and our arms weren't sore the next day either. One small warning; we needed footwear with decent soles for the couple of walks we took on the island as it is very rocky. My wife's "boat shoes" weren't really up to it. Big thanks to our guide Frank who was fun, despite his terrible jokes, and took a load of photos for us to remember the trip by.

Great kayak trip with top class company - The full day chill kayaking with Viv at Kayak Gozo was not only great fun but great value., She was knowledgeable and gave us plenty of information both before and during the paddle. They provided a delicious homemade lunch. Plenty of opportunities to swim and snorkel away from the crazy, busy Blue Lagoon but even prettier areas without the crowds. We were able to walk to see fascinating caves on Camino and paddle inside various caves too. Would recommend this trip as they keep the groups small and try to put you together with people with similar paddling experience which helps.

Great day out and great value for money! - We went on our trip on 21/06. We had a great time visiting the various bays, caves and swimming. Andrew was our guide and he was great, very knowledgable, friendly and helpful. He provided us with a tasty lunch of pesto pasta, peanut butter bars and apples as well as handing out sweeties throughout the day. Can’t recommend him, and the company enough! Advice if you’re thinking of booking: - Take sun glasses, hat, something to cover your shoulder, suncream, snacks, and plenty of water! - Waterproof pouch for your phone is a must if you want to take pictures throughout the day - Tip your guide! They have a tip jar, or you can tip by phone. The guides truly deserve it for the great experience they provide! Thanks again for a great day and memorable adventure! :)

Wonderful time - It was a really really awesome trip. I was alone and had no kajak experience bit that didnt matter. The group was very nice and Ivii was a great supervisor. Now i feel like a pro in a Kayak. Had some great views around the island and enough time to swim and snorkel. Id do it again.

Amazing day on the water - Great day out! Well organised and felt safe. We were able to explore many places not accessible by large boat and definitely not by foot. I recommend brining a long sleeve top as there are limited shady spots.

Fantastic full day kayaking - Great day trip around Gozo with guides Andrew and Laura being full of useful tips and tricks to help us along. Due to the weather we couldn't make it over to Comino but Andrew and Laura took us on a fantastic coastal paddle through caves and ports. The whole day was so much fun, I highly recommend it for a alternative way to view the islands.
