Board a small, family‑run boat from Bugibba for a day that blends the Blue Lagoon’s crystalline swims with two hours on Gozo exploring Victoria’s Cittadella—plus cave runs where the captain can slip the hull into sea caves when weather allows. Practical, photo‑ready and family friendly.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from the L‑Menqa jetty in Bugibba and the island coast slides astern—salt wind pushing the small boat forward, caves yawning along the shoreline like invitations. The Mermaid, a family‑run vessel, threads through limestone ledges into sheltered caverns (weather permitting), then eases into the Blue Lagoon where Mediterranean water goes impossibly clear and invites you to swim, snorkel and jump.

Arrive early for best seats
Boarding starts 30 minutes before departure; earlier arrival gives better access to shaded seating and easier camera shots when entering caves.
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen and a cover‑up
The Mediterranean sun is strong; use reef‑safe SPF and a lightweight top to avoid sunburn on deck and during walks on Comino.
