  • L-Għar ta’ Bla Saqaf/It-Tieqa/Taħt il-Ħnejja - June - October
    In the morning, we stop for 1hr at the stunning but less well known Crystal Lagoon. It is fringed by steep cliffs and therefore accessed only by boats. With unbelievably clear water, it is perfect for swimming, snorkelling and diving. Take a plunge into its crystal clear waters from one of our three waterslides, or jump from the top deck if you dare! A true snorkelers paradise, where you can even swim inside the caves.

En-route to the Blue Lagoon, you can admire the fantastic sight of a shipwreck from one of the 26 underwater windows. It is a 50-meter ex-German Minesweeper lying on the seabed 20 Meters below sea level. The visibility of the wreck will depend on the sea and sunlight conditions. For safety reasons, we will not stop at the wreck if there are ongoing diving operations.

November - May
We spend approximately 15 minutes in Crystal Lagoon; we stop only for photo opportunities and to visit the sea caves.

  • Victoria - The land transport from the harbour to the capital city of Gozo is included in the price.

This small city has a wealth of charm and history to explore, and the first known settlers date back to the Neolithic times. The crown jewel of Victoria is the Citadel a fortified town which rises high above the narrow winding streets of the city below.

St. Georges Basilica is found down in the town square. The basilica is entirely coated with marble, while the canopy over the high altar is gilded in bronze and gold. All paintings in the dome and ceiling are by Giovanni Battista Conti of Rome. One of the fascinating parts of the basilica is the statue of St. George, sculpted in wood by Pawlu Azzopardi in 1838.

  • Comino - Use the boat as a base or go ashore and explore.

Beautiful experience - The experience was particularly pleasant: the timing was calculated with extreme meticulousness, we had three stays in Gozo that were more than enough to visit the highlights of the island and enough time in the rest of the day to enjoy the sea. I recommend arriving about an hour before departure since boarding should start half an hour earlier but in our case it was brought forward, precisely because there were many people waiting. This way you will be sure to secure your favourite place on the boat.

All right... - very nice outing, 1st stop in Comino (and we advise you not to get too far from the boat) you can swim next to the boat thanks to the ladder and slide) and the comino beaches are on rocks and crowded. then 2h stop in Gozo for lunch. be careful to stay well at the van drop-off point (we were almost forgotten) then stop at the crystal lagoon (attention open sea very common) and return to Malta. the team is adorable and very professional. Only flat victim of their success many people on the boat

Great value and plenty to see - Great day out, got to do so much during the trip. It's a bit of a scramble to get a covered seat on the boat when the weather is very hot! Advice is to get there early. Enough time at each stop.. great value for money. It can be as chilled or energetic as you want. Only complaint would be the oppressive heat in the short transfer to Victoria from the port on Gozo.. the minibus had no air-conditioning!!!

Great tour and boat facilities - The difference with other boats and especially if you plan to spend more time on Comino is it stays for most time at Comino so you can use boat as a base and eat and use the slide facility, it does go to Gozo and returns so that is 30 minutes that you stay in Comino ,it drops off people at Gozo and later goes to fetch them .I enjoyed the blue tour and loved swimming in blue waters,what a relaxed day

It’s good but skip getting off at Gozo island to see Victoria - the capital, stay in the blue lagoon instead - The trip is good but getting off at Gozo island to see Victoria and taking a bus there is a MISTAKE! There’s nothing in that city, I had a few hours to eat, that’s it! If you’re hungry it’s a good one to stop by and eat, but I’d rather stay in the blue lagoon.

Beautiful places, shame about disappointed expectations - Very nice visit and beautiful places. Pleasant environment with music and friendly staff. However on the flyer presentation of the experience there were places that were not visited, lockers that were not on the boat and there was an opportunity to go and see a wreck from the bottom from the boat while it was not even mentioned during the tour

Visiting the blue lagoon... - Visiting the blue lagoon was lovely but you could not hear any of the commentary on the boat because of the engine noise. Gozo was an amazing place and would been better with a guide. The “guided tour” consisted of a bus ride from the port to a drop off point, where the bus driver suggested that we walk to the Citadel and the Bascilica!!!!!

Signs should be placed at the pick up area - Could not find the correct port, the place is so confusing behind a swimming club, no signs or anything. Complete waste of time, ending up missing the boat and no refund given.

Tourist traps - The islands are a great pity that they are overcrowded because of the tour operators that sell without caring about the place and comfort that travellers need to enjoy their moments. I Trip Tip everyone to get there by means (although this will not change the overcrowding ) other than the tour operators that are offered in hotels and on the street the tour operators have no respect for the customer they are there only for your money
