Malta: Blue Lagoon and Comino Caves Speedboat Tour

Malta: Blue Lagoon and Comino Caves Speedboat Tour – A Thrilling Day in the Sun

If you’re after an adventure-packed day exploring Malta’s most iconic sights, this Blue Lagoon and Comino Caves Speedboat Tour might be just what you need. Starting from St. Julian’s, this 7-hour excursion whisks you across crystal-clear waters to Comino Island, where you’ll spend hours basking on white sandy beaches, swimming, and exploring caves that seem straight out of a postcard. The tour is priced reasonably for the value, especially given the small group size (max 20 people), which keeps things intimate and personal.

What we particularly love about this experience is the stunning scenery and the personal touch of guides like Life, who receive glowing reviews for their friendliness and knowledge. Plus, the chance to enter caves with a speedboat that glides right inside, offers a unique perspective you can’t get on larger, more commercial vessels.

One potential consideration is the timing—the tour starts early, around 8:45 am, and involves a fair amount of boat riding, so it’s best suited for those comfortable with a full day outdoors. Also, food and drinks are not included, so you’ll want to bring your own supplies for snacks and hydration.

This tour is perfect for travelers who love adventure, want to see Malta’s coast from a different angle, and enjoy beach days in an unspoiled setting. It’s especially suited for those who appreciate personal stories, stunning views, and a bit of cave exploration.

The Itinerary: A Closer Look

This tour is designed to be a smooth combination of adventure, relaxation, and discovery, with each stop carefully chosen to maximize your experience. Our adventure begins at Happy Dayz Shack in St. Julian’s, a lively and convenient starting point. From there, the speedboat ride lasts about 45 minutes, giving you plenty of time to feel the wind in your hair and enjoy Malta’s stunning northeastern coastline.

During the boat ride, you’ll slow down briefly to admire St. Paul’s Islands, which are visible en route and add a layer of natural beauty and intrigue. We found this a thoughtful touch that helps break up the journey and gives you a sense of the area’s geography before arriving at the main event.

The Blue Lagoon: The Highlight

Once you arrive at Blue Lagoon, you’ll have approximately 4.5 hours to enjoy this idyllic spot. The crystal-clear waters are perfect for swimming, and the white sandy beaches are just right for lounging or picnicking. Many reviews highlight how stunning the lagoon’s waters are, and how relaxing it feels to float in such unspoiled beauty.

We love that the tour allows for free time, meaning you can choose to simply relax on the beach, take a swim, or explore the surrounding caves. The caves visit is a particular highlight, with the boat capable of entering inside for a close-up view—something many larger boats can’t offer. Our guides make sure you get guaranteed access inside, which is a real plus.

Cave Exploration and Insider Tips

The Comino Caves are described as exotic and photo-worthy, with the boat entering to give you a close-up view. This is a rare opportunity, as most visitors only see caves from afar. The guides will share insights about the caves’ formations, making the experience both fun and educational.

Return Journey

After your long beach stop, the return trip takes about 40 minutes, giving you a chance to relax and soak in the views. The boat slows down to give you a good look at St. Paul’s Islands, adding a visual treat before heading back to St. Julian’s around 4:30 pm.
