Good boat trip

Nice boat, little bit cramped due to all of the loungers. Food on the boat was average. Stopped at blue lagoon for 2 hours which was good once they put the slide out. Okay choice of food and drink at the blue lagoon but couldn’t take any of it back onto the boat.

Great boat tour option

This was a vacation highlight for us. We took 8 on the sunset four hour cruise including a few teens, young adults and adults. We all enjoyed it. The boat was more comfortable than we expected with lounge chairs instead of traditional rows of chairs. It was a pool party atmosphere at the first swim stop with swimming off the boat. Most people did general swimming, not snorkeling. Probably too many people together to see any fish anyway. The boat slide was fun, we all tried it. The second stop at Blue Lagoon was a really nice space for shallow water swimming. You need to reserve a landing pass, it is free, the boat company sends you a link. You can order food from the boat company, but I wouldn't bother. There were plenty of food stands to buy food at Blue Lagoon, they were not too expensive. Drinks in a pineapple shell were very popular. There is a public shower at Blue Lagoon to rinse off. The scenery throughout was beautiful and well worth seeing. Blue Lagoon would not be very accessible for handicapped, lots of steps.

Great boat tour

The boat had very comfortable sun-type beds to lay on, in the shade and the sun. We hit the popular ocean marks, and we had plenty of time to explore. The staff were amazing, very kind and social, which really enhanced the whole experience. Music was playing throughout along with some historic commentary. It didn’t feel crowded at all, even though there were a lot of people. I would highly recommend. Overall great experience!

Very well timed tour,...

Very well timed tour, that included at least one hour and thirty minutes at Blue Lagoon, which was really appreciated. Also great to have the opportunity to swim in the Crystal Lagoon! One tip: get in earlier than 9.00am even if the boat is advertised as 9.30am, as the boat fills up quite quickly!

Saddened to see it as it is

The trip to Comino, so we arrived and boarded our boat for the day, from the outset there was no mention of not seeing all the tour as expected and those who really wanted the option should have been advised at the start of the trip to change to another day if not able to commit to full trip. For us it was fine however full transparency should be advised. The boat trip was comfortable, the crew were professional and polite, informative the rest of the time. The bar facilities were mostly good, however not much options on alcohol free, reduced carb food was not really an option, nor for special dietary requirements such as diabetics, gluten free etc. Toilets were clean throughout the tour. Now the tour, interesting facts given and pointed out, good views of caves, good information given. Poor, poor blue lagoon what on earth has happened to you!!!! It has become spoilt, over crowded, the stalls are a blot of quite distasteful proportions. Just tragic for such a beautiful area to be ruined in this way. This needs to be reviewed immediately before it is ruined beyond recognition. I visited some 40+ years ago and it was a little hidden gem, where boats were limited in numbers and a much more enjoyable experience, respectful of not going on the island. Utilising the facilities on our boat. There should be moorings off the island, maybe in previous bays, utilise the hotel as a bar, restaurant and facilitate the snack facilities, make clear walking routes to the lagoon, again limiting time and numbers limited daily, increase the price to make this more bespoke. Making sure revenue is ploughed back into caring for this wonderful place. The site is wonderful but I was saddened to see it so disrespected as it is now. Shame to ruin such a wonderful beautiful place.

Nice day out

Well organised and enjoyable day out. Option to book on board BBQ when checking in. Got to dock at 9:30 for 10:00 sailing and top deck for sun beds already taken, not bothered because it’s easier to get sun burnt when at sea. Pass needed to get onto Comino Island with allocated wrist band so complete on line before you sail. Boat sailed on time with nice trip along the Malta coast line. Made an effort to get near a sea cave but another boat in the way. Arrived at Comino Island and had a walk to sea Blue Lagoon which was really busy. Plenty of food stalls on Comino Island making it feel a bit commercialised but ideal if you want something to eat or drink. Great swim from boat plus slide from top deck. Two further stops after Comino for more off boat swimming (buoyancy aids available for those not so keen of open water swimming).

Great views, gather a small group and go private

It is a great experience, but I would definitely rather rent a private tour. On the way back the toilets stank that we had to move upstairs because it was unbearable. The food was really not good, the vegan option was just side dishes. They say not to bring food and drinks from the outside, we were the only ones who actually listened to these instructions. You can bring food and eat it on the break time out of the boat
