After approximately an hour cruising we arrive at the gorgeous BLUE LAGOON. Without any prior stops we try to be the first cruise boat here so that you can get the best out of it.

Uma das melhores experiencias que tivemos em malta. O serviço foi 5 estrelas desde deixarem pousar as mochilas como o acesso a cacifos para colocar os items de valor porém e preciso de ter cuidado, pois os cacifos so estao disponiveis ate as 16h. O senhor que faz a tour pelas ilhas é muito engraçado que faz com que a experiencia se torne melhor.

Sublime experience!! Magical places on the blue lagoon, top bus to Gozo! Jumping off the boat into the lagoon with this turquoise water: Magic! Small downside: too many on the boat..

Was such a perfect day! The views of the blue lagoon were something out of a movie. You’re able to jump or slide into the lagoon, snorkels for sale/ deposit. The people on the boat were lovely and accommodating. The only downside I had was that you had to pay 10 euros for a life jacket- my partner couldn’t enjoy himself due to his ability to swim. I didn’t have enough for the life jacket due to paying for drinks, taxi, and food- and I pleaded for a jacket- which in my eyes should come under safety regulations. Also, if you get there early to get the top deck- you have to remove your stuff once leaving in Gozo- meaning there’s actually zero point of getting there early to secure a good seat. —— If I knew you had to PAY for a life jacket I would have gotten this first. Apart from that, it was a beautiful day. I would go again, Just make sure I had plenty of cash. Ps- take the bus ride for €5/10 euro- cause where you get dropped off there isn’t much to see.

Pleasant boat ride between Comino and Gozo. I would have allowed a little more time spent in the capital Victoria. Pleasant entertainment from Kevin with interesting explanations regarding the various stages. Advised!

Excellent day! The instructions to find the boat were clear and everything ran to time. Food and drink on the boat were well priced. If you have the time I’d definitely recommend a full day at the blue lagoon it was gorgeous and 1 hour wasn’t enough. If you’re going to Gozo it’s definitely worth the €5 extra for the bus. The boat was very busy, if you want a bed on the upper deck you’ll have to get there about an hour early. You can also leave things on the boat too which is great if you don’t want to take your towel around Gozo There is a wind when the boat is moving so bring layers even if it’s just a shirt. Lots of people ended up wrapping their towel around themselves. The staff were also there at photo stops to take pictures of you with the backgrounds.

Punctuality and organization. I especially recommend an additional motorboat trip - great views and a great helmsman😊. And it's worth renting a bus to take you around Gozo.

Can’t fault the cruise at all. It was fantastic value for money, the tour guide was brilliant, and you get so much fun and time for your money. I’d also recommend going for the 5 Euro bus ticket - you get to places much sooner and it takes a lot of hassle out of it for just an extra 5 Euros. Thanks Kevin and everyone on board!
