Fantastic trip! Went in November and the trip was amazing. Cannot recommend it enough! One of the best days of our whole holiday. Took a dip in the Blue Lagoon. Went on the optional Speedboat trip, which was insane - so much fun and got to see the Sea Caves so much better and close up! Also bought tickets for the optional minibus in Gozo, which took us to a photo-stop in Xlendi Bay and then took us into Victoria. If you're thinking about booking this, just do it!!

It was really fun, jumping into the blue lagoon will be a Experiance I treasure forever. Although I did witness a chair collapse and some guy get a bruise the size of a tea saucer on his leg. Could be worse, could have been me.

The best part personally was the boat transport because we stopped at some beautiful places with turquoise blue waters, I think in particular we stopped for a few minutes to take a photo at the Santa Maria cave near Comino . The blue lagoon was very beautiful but the island of Comino itself is actually almost empty. The excursion to Gozo didn't suit us anymore, there was nothing special to do, we just went to the Victoria Citadel and I don't think we would have had time to do more things if we had found something else to do. Fortunately the time passed quickly. November 28, 2023

Super cool day trip that was well taken care of by the captain and his crew. Atmospheric music and tasty cocktails on the boat. Enough time to discover the Blue Lagoon and Gozo. There were some heavy waves on the way back, but the captain did everything he could to get us back home as safely as possible. Top!

Fantastic day out. Captain Kevin and his Crew were very professional, helpful and nice. The mooring place was beautiful and private since we had one side of the Blue Lagoon "to ourselves". Nice music playing in the background and the Captain was even the first to dive when everybody was apprehensive to do it at first. Only con were not being able to pau some things with Credit Card. Take some cash if tou want to pay for the Buses and the Speedboats. Not sure if the snack-bar accepted Credit Card or not though.
