Easy

Enjoy a scenic cruise to the picturesque island of Comino. Spend the afternoon swimming, snorkelling, relaxing on the boat, and exploring the island's surroundings at the magnificent Blue Lagoon.
You will depart from Buġibba Jetty in St. Paul's Bay at 10:00 AM for a sightseeing cruise of Malta’s northern shoreline, witnessing the enchanting, rugged coastline and beautiful coves and caves.

During your journey, you will pass by all the major sights along the way, such as the Aħrax Point, a popular reef for divers, where you will also enter the dazzling Aħrax Cave. You will then travel towards St. Paul’s Island, from where you can witness the prominent St. Paul’s statue, which was erected on the island in 1844. You will then continue sailing along the north Comino Channel, passing by the fascinating Elephant’s Head rock formation, the gorgeous Santa Maria Bay, the captivating Santa Maria Caves, and cruising by the charming St. Nicholas Bay.

After sailing for about an hour, you will reach Comino Island, where you will have a four-hour and thirty-minute stop at the magnificent Blue Lagoon. Get ready to be amazed by the turquoise, crystal-clear waters of the famous Blue Lagoon! This picturesque bay with transparent cyan waters, a white sandy base, and rich marine life is the perfect spot for a relaxing and unforgettable break. Spend your time here soaking up the sun, swimming, snorkelling, enjoying a stroll through the countryside of Comino Island, or simply relaxing on the boat.

After your stop at the Blue Lagoon, you will set sail for your return trip to Malta. Along the way, you will cruise by the island of Gozo, where you will have a great opportunity to take some memorable pictures of the harbour.
