Make use of the upper sun deck or chill out on our spacious shaded main deck. If you're hungry grab something from our onboard cafeteria prices are very reasonable. We might not have the most modern boat but we have all the amenities you need for a day at sea. Use the boat as your base as you walk freely on/ off to the island of Comino.

One day trip to Gozo and Camilo islands by boat . In Gozo, we there were two stops, one in a natural beauty spot, not unlike the rest of Malta and the second was in the capital Victoria where you have a chance to visit the. Citadel and walk around the little shop in the centre. The blue lagoon in Camilo island is a small bay where you can swim and the water near the shoreline is literally cyan in colour. Overall is a good enjoyable day out , I wouldn’t call it unmissable

Fun, beautiful trip. Come early if you‘d like a seat on the top deck! You can get tasty fruits on both the boat and the Comino island.

We loved this trip. The staff were friendly and we were offered cocktails in pineapples on our arrival!
The boat was a fair size and the deck chairs on the roof were nice and comfortable. The views were great and the stops along the route gave us a chance to get off and explore.
The blue lagoon was excellent for snorkelling and the speed boat was great for seeing the caves.
The slide off the side of the boat was good fun.

This tour was great. The staff were very friendly. If you have a short time in Malta and want to hit many highlights, this is a good way to swim, sun, and tour. Everything ran on time and was executed as expected. Would definitely recommend it.

This excursion was worth every penny we paid! Go early if you want a lounge chair on the top deck (for the first part of the trip). We did the speed boat and it was well worth the €15pp extra charge. The guy who ran it was amazing and the caves were super cool. We also paid €5 for the bus into the town which was also worth it. The whole tour was very well organized and efficient. The drinks in the pineapple were delicious and worth the cost. We got food in the town and saw the citadel, it was short but sweet. Staff was all amazing and it was a highlight of our trip to Malta.

The boat ride was an amazing way to see the island. Going into the blue lagoon was amazing. The water is so beautiful. We jumped off and went down the slide. We walked over to the shallower area and enjoyed the time to eat and swim. Going into Gozo and walking around the Cittadel was amazing too. Very organized and the perfect balance of freedom and structure.

This is great value for money. I have a couple of issues. Directions to find the boat. Not very clear.
They have this ridiculous rule. That if you buy a pineapple cocktail off the boat. You can’t then reuse that pineapple to be refilled on the boat. It’s just a biodegradable extravagant glass. Also. Don’t take the optional bus. It literally just drops you off in Victoria. If you want to see the Ggantija Temples etc. you’re better off arranging transport when you get to Gozo. Or using the hop on hop off bus.

Blue lagoon is very disappointing. Not the tours fault. It’s just not very nice. Hundreds of people crammed into a tiny lagoon never will be pleasant.

All in all a day out. With some culture and drinks.
