An evening boat cruise from Bugibba takes you past St. Paul’s Island to Comino’s Blue Lagoon and coastal caves. Swim and snorkel in clearer water with fewer crowds, then watch the sun lower behind limestone cliffs.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The boat eases away from Bugibba as late afternoon light slants across the water, and the Maltese coastline shrinks into a warm, low silhouette. Passengers gather on the shaded deck; the engine’s steady thrum and a fresh, salty breeze set expectations for clear water, steep limestone cliffs and the open calm of Comino’s coves. As the vessel threads past St. Paul’s Island and Mellieħa Bay, the guide marks caves and anchorages while the sea dares you to jump in.
