3.Blue Lagoon, Beaches and Bays Catamaran Sailing Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,269 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $66

Spend about six hours aboard the Sea Breeze catamaran from Bugibba, stopping at the Blue Lagoon and other Maltese bays for swimming and snorkeling. You get sunbeds, lounging nets, restrooms, a bar, and some equipment onboard. The route changes with sea conditions, and the optional BBQ costs €15 with a drink.

“Be mindful that the boat doesn’t allow shows and once the floor is wet from beach goers you’d wish you had flip flops. Bathrooms are clean. Avoid the offered BBQ at all cost, for $15 euros you get two bland chicken kebabs, unflavored couscous , pasta salad and garden salad. The Blue Lagoon has many of food stands with amazing looking dishes for more cost effective appealing options. No towels available to rent so bring one. Once at blue lagoon walk down to the sand beach access point to safely access the lagoon.”
