5.St Paul’s Bay: Comino, Blue Lagoon, Gozo, & Caves Boat Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,436 reviews · 5h 30m · from $29

Cruise from Bugibba on Mermaid, a smaller boat with an English-speaking captain and crew. Swim at Comino’s Blue Lagoon, spend two hours on Gozo, pass Santa Maria Caves and Elephant Rock, and return by sea in about five and a half hours.

“The trip was exactly what it says on the tin. The crew were lovely, polite and made you feel welcome. The only thing I would do differently is to split the activities up. We only got an hour at the lagoon and it’s so busy! You should really spend more time there to set up camp and find a perfect spot. Same with Gozo it looks a beautiful place but you really need to spend more time there. That’s nothing against this trip it’s just general advice if you really want to see these sites properly.”
