“It was so much fun and a great way to see Gozo/Blue Lagoon. We didn’t get to swim in the crystal lagoon but this may have been due to time of year (April). However we stopped at the best location in the Blue Lagoon and slid, jumped and swam in those gorgeous waters! It was so much fun. Communication was clear and we enjoyed the free time we had in Gozo. I would recommend if you’re strapped for time and don’t want to navigate the transport systems!”

“The trip was great and our guide was excellent. There was a fair bit of walking but people of all ages (including those with walking sticks) were able to make it through the day. I would say the only things that could be improved was that the size of the group was very large (approx. 30 people) and because of that, the guide spent a lot of time having to wait for people and gather people around. I felt like this took valuable time out of us being able to see everything in detail and take pictures etc. I do think the trip was worth the money and would recommend…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 2,061 reviews · 5 hours · from $47

Take a five-hour powerboat trip from Sliema with Captain Tony and deckhand Raphael. Swim at Crystal Lagoon, stop at Comino Blue Lagoon, visit Ħalfa Rock near Gozo, and cruise past Comino’s caves. A shaded boat, free masks, and a small-group feel make this a lively way to see Malta’s coast.

“We had a great time on the boat with Tony and about 20 other guests. Tony’s deckhand Raphael was friendly, helpful and efficient. They both had a great sense of humour and made sure we had a fun time. The snorkeling was awesome, enough time at each place to enjoy the beautiful scenes and the communication from Tony onboard was excellent. Excellent value for money for a better experience at the same sites compared to the bigger boats!”
