The 4 Boat Trips in Mellieha That Earn Their Price

1.Gozo Comino and Blue Lagoon Boat Tour with Swim Stop

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 445 reviews · 6.5 hours · from $33Our pick

Set out from Mellieħa Bay at 9:30 for a full-day boat cruise past Malta’s coastal sights, Comino’s caves, and Elephant Head Rock. You’ll have about three hours in Gozo, then 90 minutes for swimming at the Blue Lagoon. Optional Gozo bus and cave trips cost extra, and cash is useful.

“Absolutely worth it for this price. It is much better to swim at Blue Lagoon from the boat than it would be from the main beach as it was not that crowded. Going back to Mellieha, the boat has even stopped for a short time when we saw dolphins near by. 100% recommended.”

“This was an incredible experience! We loved seeing all the beautiful wonders of Comino and the surrounding caves and waters. The speedboat was so much fun and felt very safe. Captain Augustino was very accommodating, ensuring everyone felt happy and safe. He also allowed plenty of opportunities to stop for photos and videos and even took photos of families himself so we could all be in the picture together. He allowed the children to get up and experience driving the boat themselves which was an added bonus. He knew lots about all of the different caves and areas of the islands. It was a thoroughly enjoyed day by all and…”
