About This Tour

Situated between Malta and Gozo, the smaller island of Comino is a paradise for swimmers, snorkellers, divers, and ramblers. At only 3.5 square kilometres, Comino Island is virtually uninhabited.  

You will depart from Sliema ferries in the morning and cruise to the island of Comino, passing by the Sliema promenade, St. Julian's Bay, St. George's Bay, St. Paul's Bay, St. Paul's Island, and Mellieha Bay.  

Get ready to be amazed by the turquoise, crystal-clear waters of the famous Blue Lagoon! This picturesque bay with transparent cyan waters, a white sandy base, and a rich marine life is the perfect spot for a relaxing and unforgettable day.  

Spend the day soaking up the sun, swimming, snorkelling, or simply enjoying a walk in the countryside of Comino Island.  

On your way back to Sliema Ferries, you will also be passing by the beautiful Comino Sea caves.  

From June until October (weather permitting), a stop of approximately 45 minutes at the Crystal Lagoon is also included. The Crystal Lagoon is a perfect spot for divers and snorkellers, and it is one of the nicest and most sheltered lagoons Malta has to offer. Take a refreshing dip and explore the amazing sea caves located within this stunning lagoon.  

With no cars or urban areas, the island of Comino is also worth visiting during the winter and autumn, making it an excellent destination for hikers and photo enthusiasts. It provides many hiking trails leading to St. Mary's Chapel, St. Mary's Watch Tower, and St. Mary's Battery.

    We spent a beautiful day exploring stunning lagoons and vibrant blue waters on our cruise. The trip allowed us to access remote spots that felt untouched, and we loved swimming in the crystal-clear sea. The transportation was smooth, with a comfortable boat ride and friendly crew who shared local stories along the way. However, we did find the midday stop a bit crowded, which detracted from the serene experience we were hoping for. Overall, it was a delightful way to embrace the island’s natural beauty together.

    Setting off from Sliema, we felt the excitement build as we made our way towards Comino Island. The highlight for us was definitely swimming in the stunning Blue Lagoon, where the water was such an incredible shade of turquoise that it looked like something out of a postcard. We also enjoyed exploring the hidden Crystal Lagoon, which was perfect for some quiet moments away from the crowds. The only downside was that we wished there had been a little more time to relax on the island itself, as we felt rushed at times. Overall, it was a fantastic day filled with beautiful sights and memorable experiences.

    The cruise was a fantastic way to discover secluded lagoons, with the vibrant blue waters offering a perfect backdrop for some unforgettable swimming. I did wish the trip included a bit more time to soak up the atmosphere on the island itself, but the stunning sights made up for it.
