About this experience
Embark on a 6-hour journey from Mellieħa and explore three gorgeous locations.
Starting from Marfa Bay in Mellieħa, we’ll sail along the stunning northern coast of Malta. Our first stop is the iconic Blue Lagoon, where you’ll enjoy approximately 1½–2 hours swimming and relaxing in its crystal-clear turquoise waters.
Next, we head to the beautiful Crystal Lagoon on Comino’s west side for approximately one hour. The Crystal Lagoon is a perfect spot for divers and snorkellers.

Detailed itinerary
1
Departing in the morning from the Marfa Jetty in Mellieha, we embark on a 6-hour cruise around the islands of Comino and Gozo.
2
Cruising along the northern coastline, we will travel first to the iconic Blue Lagoon, where we will have our first swim stop of approximately one hour and 30 minutes. Get ready to be amazed by the turquoise, crystal-clear waters of this beautiful lagoon! This picturesque bay with transparent cyan waters, a white sandy base, and rich marine life is the perfect spot for a relaxing break. Spend your time here soaking up the sun, swimming, snorkelling, or simply enjoying a walk in the countryside of Comino Island. The boat will be anchored near the Blue Lagoon; therefore, one can also spend his time relaxing on the boat.
3
After our visit to the Blue Lagoon, we will proceed to another amazing spot, the beautiful Crystal Lagoon on the west side of Comino Island, where we will stop for approximately one hour. The Crystal Lagoon is a perfect spot for divers and snorkellers. With mesmerising turquoise waters surrounded by imposing cliffs and stunning 360-degree views, it is one of the nicest and most sheltered lagoons found in the entire archipelago. Take a refreshing dip and explore the amazing sea caves located within this stunning lagoon.
4
We will then cruise to Ħalfa Rock Bay, another picturesque bay located on the southeast coast of the island of Gozo. One of Gozo's hidden gems, it is a deserted small islet sitting solitary on the edge of a pretty little cove with a gorgeous pebbly beach. This secluded bay and its pristine surroundings retain their charm when other bays become very busy during the summer season. Here we will have our third and last swim stop, lasting approximately one hour before we start planning our return journey.

During our return trip, we will pass by the captivating Santa Maria Caves and the iconic Elephant Head rock formation before heading back to where we started our journey.
