Exploring the Itinerary in Detail

Starting Point: The Blue Lagoon
The boat departs toward Comino’s Blue Lagoon, arguably Malta’s most famous swimming spot. Sitting in the west coast of Comino, this bay’s crystal-clear waters and shallow depths make it a favorite for travelers and locals alike. We loved the way the boat anchors in the best spot — right in the heart of the lagoon — so you can enjoy swimming in the bright blue waters or snorkeling over the vibrant marine life.
Reviewers such as Maria_O praise the trip as “great for everyone,” emphasizing how fun it is to swim and explore caves here. The freedom to float in such calm, beautiful water makes this stop a highlight. The two-hour stay allows plenty of time to relax, take photos, and soak up the scenery without feeling rushed.
Crystal Lagoon and Caves
Next, the boat moves toward Crystal Lagoon, located northwest of Comino. This area is renowned for its turquoise waters and caves — some shallow with sandy beds, others deep enough for a quick dip or fishing. As you glide past the cliffs, you’ll see caves that have starred in movies like Lovers Cave and Popeye’s Cave.
Here, you’re offered snorkel masks for free, making it easy to explore the underwater caves and see the marine life up close. The 1.5-hour stop means you can spend time swimming in the crystal waters and exploring the caves at your own pace. Several reviews mention how enchanting the caves are, with Maria_O noting that it’s “a great trip for everyone,” reinforcing the accessibility and fun of this part of the trip.
Scenic Drive by Gozo and Hidden Spots
The boat then heads toward Gozo’s south coast, passing by spots like Hondoq Bay, Tal-Halfa beach, and Bemberin gorge. Each offers its own charm — from clay-rich Tal-Halfa for those interested in geology to the hidden caves in Bemberin gorge, perfect for cliff jumpers and swimming enthusiasts.
Expect about an hour cruising this area, with plenty of opportunities for snorkeling, photography, and just soaking up the scenery. The reviews mention how charming these spots are, with one reviewer highlighting the crystal waters perfect for a relaxed swim.
Santa Marija Bay and Elephant Rock
After the scenic drive, the boat visits Santa Marija Bay, a quiet, sandy beach a short walk from the Blue Lagoon. It offers a more relaxed atmosphere for those seeking a peaceful spot to unwind. The bay is surrounded by tamarisk trees for some natural shade, which is a blessing during the hot Maltese summer.
As the boat cruises past, keep your camera ready for the Elephant Rock, a natural arch that resembles an elephant drinking water — a fun photo opportunity. Passing by this unique rock formation is part of the charm of the trip, giving you a chance to see the natural beauty from the water.

Santa Maria Caves
Finally, the boat stops at the Santa Maria Caves on the north side of Comino. These caves are considered some of the most fascinating in the world, featuring five shallow caves that have been used as filming locations for movies like The Count of Monte Cristo. The setting is dramatic — limestone formations carved over centuries — and the 30-minute visit allows for some quick exploration and photo-taking.
What It Means for You
This tour is all about customization and comfort. The boat’s open deck and rooftop sunbathing area mean you can switch between shaded and sunny spots, depending on your mood. The stops for swimming, snorkeling, and cave exploration give you a taste of Malta’s natural beauty without the need for strenuous activity.
The snorkeling gear included and fishing opportunities add to the laid-back vibe. Plus, the stereo speakers and cooler box (for your own food and drinks) support a fun, relaxed atmosphere on board.
Many travelers appreciate the friendly, attentive skippers like Jeanette, who keep the trip enjoyable and smooth. The flexible schedule means you can prioritize your favorite spots or stay longer at the Blue Lagoon if you wish.
The Value of the Experience
Given that the price covers the boat, fuel, snorkeling equipment, and access to multiple scenic stops, it provides excellent value for groups seeking a personalized day on the water. The full privacy of a private charter means you’re not stuck with strangers, which is a big plus for those wanting a more intimate experience.

It’s perfect if you enjoy swimming, snorkeling, or simply soaking in scenic views without the rush of large tour groups.
