A four‑hour semi‑private cruise from Valletta that anchors in the Blue Lagoon and Crystal Lagoon, includes snorkel gear, and adds quick photo stops at the Red Tower and Popeye Village. Ideal for cruise passengers who want a fast, scenic taste of Comino and Gozo.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
From the Valletta cruise terminal the group moves inland for a short drive, then the harbor opens and the boat slips into water that seems to have its own light. The Blue Lagoon’s turquoise bowl, the hush of Comino’s cliffs and the sudden hollows of sea caves set the stage: the sea dares you to dive in, and the boat offers both a shallow entry and a comfortable vantage.

The Red Tower (St. Agatha’s) and many coastal fortifications were built by the Knights of St. John in the 17th century to guard Malta’s northern approaches.
Conservation
Boats should anchor off sensitive seagrass areas and visitors are asked not to touch or remove marine life; use reef shoes instead of walking on beds of posidonia where present.
