Departing from Sliema Ferries in the morning, you will travel north towards the island of Gozo, admiring Malta's northern shoreline and taking in the gorgeous seascapes, witnessing the rugged coastline, and other attractions that dot the coastline.
When you arrive at Mġarr Harbour (Gozo's major port), you will board one of our buses that will take you to Victoria (the capital city of Gozo). On the way to Victoria, you will have a photo stop of approximately 15 minutes at one of Gozo's gorgeous bays and drive by different attractions, such as churches and other landmarks, admiring the magnificent countryside and stunning landscape and taking in the impressive beauty and distinctive charm of this tiny island.
You will make a second stop of approximately 75 minutes at Victoria, the capital of Gozo. Here, you can enjoy some free time to simply roam around the city, have a coffee or snack at one of the many cafes, or visit one of the city's shopping centres. Within the city of Victoria, you can also visit the majestic Citadel, an imposing mediaeval fortress being considered by UNESCO as a possible World Heritage Site.
After the sightseeing tour, you will cruise towards the island of Comino. Get ready to be amazed by the turquoise, crystal-clear waters of the famous Blue Lagoon. Here you will stop for approximately 90 minutes to swim, sunbathe, snorkel, or simply enjoy a walk in the countryside of Comino Island.
The island of Comino is also worth visiting during the off-season months when it might be too cold to swim at the Blue Lagoon. With no cars or urban areas, it is 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.
After stopping at the Blue Lagoon, you will cruise by the stunning Comino Caves before heading back to Sliema.

I signed up for this boat adventure expecting a lovely day, and it mostly delivered. The highlight for me was definitely swimming in the brilliant blue waters of the lagoon; it felt like soaking in a postcard. However, the time spent at the citadel felt a bit rushed, and I would have loved to explore the ancient architecture more deeply. The boat ride itself was a nice touch, providing picturesque views that I won’t soon forget. Overall, I had an enjoyable day, but the pace could have been a little more relaxed for my taste.

Exploring the stunning lagoon and taking in the views from Victoria’s Citadel made for an unforgettable family day. While the boat ride was smooth and enjoyable, we did find the time at each stop could have been a bit longer to fully soak in the beauty of Gozo and Comino.
