Stopping at Blue Lagoon
The moment you have all been waiting for, what a lot of travelers' have called, Paradise on Earth, 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. Take advantage from our great mooring position and spend your time on the boat. Away from the crowded beach you can jump, swim and slide into the crystalline turquoise water. Make use of the upper sun deck or chill out on our spacious shaded main deck. If you're hungry grab something from our onboard cafeteria prices are very reasonable. We have reduced our onboard capacity by 50% to allow for social distancing. We might not have the most modern boat but we have all the amenities you need for a day at sea. Use the boat as your base as you walk freely on/ off to the island of Comino. Come back if you need to make use of the bar/ cafeteria, washrooms or other onboard facilities. With over 4 hours here you will have the time of your life. Duration: 4 hours 30 minutes

This site may be seen on the way going to Comino or later on the way back to Malta, depending on weather conditions

Had a great time with the hornblower. Despite starting out in a bit of a swell captain explained everything and as soon we turned into the cove everything cleared. Boat was clean, staff great ,the prices on board cheaper than on shore. And lots of info on the area was given.

So I summarize in a single sentence a tourist trap my opinion is not based on the boat which according to me is only a means of transport which takes you to the so-called crystal water and the famous blue lagoon... namely actually the rock the blue water is there but that's all you land in a huge rock with a tiny beach with more than 1000 thousand people so bathe as if it were in the most beautiful corner of paradise Personally I didn't like it all we then have the most beautiful beaches in Europe with real warm sand I point out that we left enamels less than May so not yet the big crowd I don't dare imagine how it would be at this time a real hell I advise against

Had an incredible time touring the islands and caves! Captain Kevin is knowledgeable, engaging and entertaining the whole way through (with an upbeat playlist). There's an option to visit Gozo too but personally, I would suggest spending the 3-4 hours in Comino instead and enjoy the beach and caves there. Such a good way to visit Comino Island - highly recommend!

The truth is that the best thing is the small excursion to the caves, the guide is fantastic, very fun. Then talking about the main excursion, the boat is not bad, the workers are friendly, the captain spoke English very quickly and with an accent I don't know if it was Italian, but there were things that were not completely understood. The blue lagoon is truly impressive, I recommend going with accessories for snorkeling, there are many fish and they are all beautiful. Very blue, beautiful, and very salty waters. The island of cumin itself doesn't have much else. You cannot bring food or drinks from outside on the boat and it is somewhat expensive. The activity itself is good, but it is somewhat expensive for what it is.
