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

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.”

You get about four hours for swimming and snorkeling, plus Santa Maria Caves sightseeing. Danny, Ali, and the crew keep the trip relaxed, with limited seating, toilets, showers, and a small bar.

“Such an amazing day out! I first thought the 6 hours would be too long but it was the perfect amount of time to swim and relax. Danny and the crew were really accommodating and gave great advice about the conditions of the water to swim. The boat was incredibly spacious with only about 30-40 people- more than enough space to relax and eat our snacks. The boat also had a bar with reasonably priced drinks and snacks. Would definitely recommend booking in advance and consider taking your own food. There is the option to dismount the boat at blue lagoon for food but it does get considerably busy so…”
