Kayak Adventure Tour: Morning Exploration of Gozo and Comino

Embark on a thrilling kayak adventure tour in Gozo and Comino. Explore stunning caves, crystal waters, and beautiful bays on this half-day guided tour. Suitable for beginners and experienced kayakers.

Duration: 3 hours
Cancellation: 24 hours
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 have two basic Comino routes and on the half-day tours we choose one of them based on the weather conditions and busyness on the water! The first option is on the beautiful Blue Lagoon side of Comino. We spend about 2.5 hours out on the water in total, and in that time, we pass by/enter a number of gorgeous caves and bays. It’s awesome! For the break of about 30 minutes, we stop in or nearby the Blue Lagoon. In this time you can swim, explore or just relax if you would like. If we cannot land nearby we will be sure to kayak into the first part of the Blue Lagoon so you can enjoy it from the water!
  • Santa Marija Bay - The second option is on the fantastic Santa Marija Caves side of Comino. We pass by and explore a number of gorgeous and some enormous caves, check out an Instagram-worthy archway and a tunnel as well as millennia-old rock formations. It is breathtaking! For the break of about 30 minutes, we generally stop off at the Santa Marija Bay, Urchins Bay or Daćlet il-Ħmara. In this time you can swim, explore or just relax. Please note that this is an unguided part of the tour.
  • 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!
  • Santa Maria Caves - The Santa Maria Caves are found in the tall cliffs nestling on the east coast of Comino. Your tour will include the infamous Smuggler’s Cave and others!

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 feel free to contact us if you are in doubt.

Amazing and unique experience! - Such an amazing and unique experience! We had the most fantastic time taking part in this, which was something way out of both mine and my boyfriend’s comfort zone. Such a fantastic adventure which allowed us to see some beautiful spots in Gozo and Comino. Seeing Comino before the crowds was so rewarding and the water was just perfect. Thank you so much to Andrew and the team for such a fantastic experience, you made our holiday so special!

Worth to do it. - Warm welcome by our guide Angela (hope I wrote the name correctly). The tour was nice, funny and interesting. (For us a bit short, but we can choose longer one but it was fully booked allready). We took 3h tour. Mich better than visiting by boat. *no pictures to add, but Angela did :)

The first ride with a kayak. - At first, we were disappointed that the itinerary was canceled because of the bad weather, but I know it’s not their problem. ( Because I booked other itineraries is also canceled 😭😭😭) But Laura keeps in touch with us, and she said that the weather will get better on Friday. It's our first ride with a kayak, so interesting!!! Appreciate Laura’s help.

Highlight of my trip to Gozo - Highly recommend the morning kayak to Comino, it’s a great way to see the Blue Lagoon and avoid the crowds. Frank looked after our small group at all times was a fun and insightful guide - excellent cave knowledge! We went at a pace everyone could manage and Hondoq bay is a beautiful place to chill afterwards. Definitely worth it.

Amazing active adventure. - Our guide Viv was wonderful and took us to some caves and coves where we could swim and jump into the water. The tour was around three hours, and a bit tiring on the arms, but such good fun! We were sent photos she had taken of us the next day which were great. I would highly recommend this as a family activity with older kids.
