14.From Sliema or Bugibba: Two Islands Ferry to Comino and Gozo

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 38 reviews · 7 hours · from $42

Take a seven-hour hop-on hop-off catamaran from Sliema or Bugibba to Gozo and Comino. Swim at the Blue Lagoon, explore Gozo independently, and choose which island to visit first. Outdoor and air-conditioned seating, onboard Wi-Fi, restrooms, and hotel transfers are included. Plan carefully, since Gozo time can feel short.

“As advertised, took us from Sliema to Gozo first, where we could decide to get off or stay and go immediately to Comino Blue Lagoon. We got off at the Mgarr port and 3 hours later the ship picked us up and took us to the blue lagoon where we could spend another 3 hours. You have to make your own adventure on Gozo after getting off the ship. There were bus services guys jumping at us to buy their services right as we got off. I can't recommend the hop on hop off bus tour around Gozo if you want to go to the Blue Lagoon later.”
