You step onto La Laguna at Marfa Jetty as the Maltese sun hits the bow and the sea smells of salt and limestone.
The boat eases away from shore and the coastline opens: sheer limestone cliffs, the Elephant Head rock formation, and the low outline of Gozo sliding into view. The first halt is the Blue Lagoon on Comino — an arresting pool of turquoise that dares you to dive in. Later, the Crystal Lagoon offers a quieter swim framed by cliffs and clear water that invites snorkelers to search for wrasse and rocky ledges.
These islands are carved from Miocene limestone; sea caves and arches are the work of persistent waves and a brittle carbonate bedrock. The islands carry marks of Malta’s layered history — watch for Saint Mary's Battery and small watchtowers that recall the Knights of St. John and centuries of coastal defense.
Practically speaking: the cruise runs about 3.5–4 hours, includes two swim stops, free mineral water, showers, and an optional powerboat cave trip (€ on site). From May 2025 a government-issued Blue Lagoon access pass is required to disembark — obtain it in advance. Cash is useful: snorkel rentals require a refundable deposit and optional cave trips, bars, and tips accept local currency or cards. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a light wind layer for the return, and shoes if you plan a short Comino walk. If you’re prone to seasickness, medicate beforehand; boarding closes 15 minutes before departure. On calm days the water is inviting and visibility excellent — on windy days the operator may alter the route for safety. This cruise is straightforward, scenic, and ideal for swimmers and photographers seeking Malta’s coastal highlights.

Comino and Gozo were staging points for ancient maritime trade and later fortified by the Knights of St. John; small batteries and watchtowers still dot the coast.
Heavy summer visitation has stressed Comino’s marine habitats; the Blue Lagoon access pass and local rules aim to limit crowding and protect Posidonia seagrass beds — avoid anchoring or touching underwater vegetation.
