Sliema: Cruise to Comino, Crystal Lagoon, and Blue Lagoon

1.Sliema: Cruise to Comino, Crystal Lagoon, and Blue Lagoon

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 6,855 reviews · 7h 30m · from $41Our pick

Spend about 7.5 hours cruising Malta’s north coast from Sliema to Gozo and Comino. Swim at Crystal Lagoon from May to October, enjoy up to 3.5 hours at Blue Lagoon, and see Comino’s sea caves. Captain John Paul and the crew provide commentary, a waterslide, toilets, and an onboard bar. Option B adds Gozo time for a shorter Blue Lagoon stop.

“Loved it, especially when we got to the Blue Lagoon and Comino Island. It was a little crowded but I immediately started exploring and hiking the island and was rewarded with incredible views and no people around. So highly recommend doing that with some of your time on the island. Staff was great. Also, skip the seats up top and move outside to the front of the boat for the best views.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 5,496 reviews · from $62

13.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.”
