About this experience
Hop aboard a spacious & comfortable boat at the meeting point in Mellieha. Go past the Comino Tower which was made famous for in the movie "The count of Monte Cristo."
Take in how the golden shoreline contrasts with the azure waters as you make your way to the Crystal Lagoon situated on the western side of Comino. See for yourself why this lagoon is known for its incredibly clear and vibrant turquoise waters with a 1 hiur stop to swim, snorkel, and sunbathe.
Next, head to the iconic Blue Lagoon where the sunlight penetrates to the shallow, sandy seabed, creating dazzling shades of blue. Spend an hour plus of free time swimming through the waters, looking at fish with the snorkeling gear, or basking in the sun on the shore.
Pass by the island of Gozo & visit an area know as the promising rock (Gebla tal Halfa) for approximately 45 minutes. Finally, end your experience with a photo shop at the Santa Maria Caves and Elephant Rock before returning to the port.
