You get a very good Deal for the price! This Trip is excellent, if you want to see a lot in one day. But if you want to explore Gozo more, or stay longer at the blue lagoon, I would plan one day for each. But if you do decide to book this trip I would definitely recommend the 5€ shuttle for Gozo, because it does not only take you to Victoria but also stops at two other spots. Staff was really friendly, there is a bar and food on the cruise with good prices. If you want to sit on the Top Deck definitely come early to boarding and bring a hoodie or jacket because it gets really windy up there. Overall really nice cruise!

Really beautiful! To do without hesitation. The blue lagoon is magnificent, heavenly. The organizers are very nice and the excursion is very well organized, truly exotic and refreshing. The boat is very good, but you have to get there 1 hour before departure to be able to be on one of the deckchairs. The bus to Gozo is very nice to take to visit the other island, because the water is still cold on Camino for swimming. I recommend without hesitation. PS: top playlist

Overall really good activity and good value for money. Comino was beautiful, it would have been nice to be given a few more suggestions of places to go in Gozo but other than that can’t complain!

It was an incredible day! Our boat group was split into two - those going to Gozo and those staying at the Blue Lagoon! Although off-season and cold water I wish we had stayed in the blue lagoon! Gozo is a lot bigger than it seem but we highly recommend paying for the bus which takes you for a photo op to Xlendi Bay! The speedboat ride around the Blue and Crystal lagoons was one of the best parts! Highly recommend paying the extra for that as the tour guide on the speed boat was highly knowledgeable and took us in and around the caves! We got lucky as usually Crystal lagoon is not as visible this time of year. For those that do not want to pay the extra, on return to Malta they pass by both lagoons but it’s different up close! Personally, I think there were too many people on top deck so it was hard to go downstairs and get drinks/snacks due to people lying/sitting on the floor (definitely safety hazard as boat is already rocking)- there are limited deck chairs available!

This cruise was our best tour and best day in Malta. The landscapes are simply stunning. We also chose to pay the extra for the bus to the center of Gozo but we honestly regretted it, we thought it would be more beneficial to spend the whole day at the Blue Lagoon, even though we didn't have the courage to swim due to the cold. It's hot in the sun but it's very windy on the way, so take something to cover yourself. Arrive early to get a seat with a good view, it’s worth it!

We loved the Blue Lagoon part of the trip. Kevin was a great host and was great fun jumping into the water/using the slide. The time in Victoria is quite short, I would advise eating at the Blue Lagoon on the boat - we left lunch for Gozo which made timing for exploring quite tight. Really good day out over all and value for money! We loved the pineapple cocktails too!

Magnificent activity. We had a great day. Great crew, comments on the way and playlist. More changing rooms would be helpful. 1h30 at the blue lagoon was perfect for us. We took the bus option to Gozo. We recommend getting something to take away or on the boat before going so as not to waste too much time eating on site at the restaurant. The citadel is very beautiful. We recommend this tour. Well done and thank you.

Very nice trip. Unfortunately the boat was very crowded... people were sunbathing on the deck so that you couldn't walk.

This tour was amazing! Kevin and the team were incredible and it was such a lovely cruise! There was the perfect amount of time at each stop and the blue lagoon was amazing despite being quite cold due to the time of year (April) but it was refreshing and enjoyable. The staff on the boat were lovely and willing to cater to every passengers needs. I recommend getting the €5 ticket for the bus in Gozo as I can’t fathom walking to the city from the harbour. It was an unforgettable experience and definitely worth taking the whole day to experience!

It was a very well organized trip covering the blue lagoon and the island of Gozo. The additional boat trip to the caves at the blue lagoon and the bus trip was also worth it. The guides were super friendly and helpful!
