More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from Ċirkewwa as the Maltese coast falls away and the sea takes on a new color — a hard, electric turquoise that dares you to jump in. The boat hums steady; cliffs and sea caves flick past as the captain threads between Comino’s islets, dropping anchor where the water is clearest and the crowds are thinnest.

History
St. Mary’s Tower on Comino was built in 1618 by the Knights of St. John as part of a coastal watch system; the island has historically been strategically important despite its tiny population.
Conservation
Comino’s fragile reef habitats are sensitive to sunscreen and anchor damage — choose operators who use mooring buoys and encourage reef‑safe practices.

Book morning or late‑afternoon slots
Blue Lagoon gets busiest mid‑day; aim for early departures or late trips to enjoy quieter anchorages and better light for photos.
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Use biodegradable sunscreen to protect the marine environment and avoid direct application right before snorkeling to reduce contamination.
Wear water shoes
Rocky shores and boat ladders are easier with grippy water shoes — they protect your feet and make boarding safer.
Confirm swimmer comfort
Tell the captain if you’re not a confident swimmer so they can pick shallower anchor points and provide extra flotation.
Snorkel mask
Crucial for seeing reefs and the P31 wreck clearly; often provided but a personal mask fits best.
