  • Accompanied by Professional Licensed Guide
  • Including Ggantija Temples, The Citadel in Victoria, Inland Sea & Scenic Routes
  • Fast Ferry from Valletta, Entrances & Tasting Experience included
  • FLEXI Cancellation Check our T&Cs at check out before you pay">

Our tour to Gozo starts with the fast ferry service from Valletta direct to the pretty port of Mgarr. The charm of Gozo is apparent the moment you arrive there. Greener, more rural and smaller than Malta. Our tour is a combination of scenic spots, historical sites, local culture and food.

Due to our early start we have an opportunity of visiting a 75 year old traditional bakery in one of the local towns. Watch them prepare for their daily baking and you will also have the opportunity to taste something they would have baked a little earlier.

Our next stop are the magnificent Ggantija temples, meaning 'Giant Temples'. These temple also enjoy UNESCO satus and considered to be amongst the oldest free standing megalithic monuments in the world dating, back over 5500 years. The adjoining visitor's centre boasts artefacts from the temple site and also from the nearby underground temple site of the Xaghra Circle (4100BC), studies of samples and results from which are still emerging.

A scenic drive will pass through quaint sleepy villages that characterise Gozo's unique charm. The drive also highlights the north coast including a stop at the Calypso Cave belvedere, this viewing point offers breathtaking views over the red sands of Ramla Bay and the lush fertile valley which leads down to it. This panoramic coastal driver drive takes us to Xwejni bay with its salt pans and the natural feature of Qolla l-Bajda.

We continue on to one of the most photographed sites on Gozo, Dwejra. This is a site of ecological and geological importance, which includes the Blue Hole, The General's Rock and Inland Sea.

We then go to the pretty seasode village of Xlendi. The picturesque bay has a small sandy beach and restaurantsilining the waterfront. Here you will have some free time for a lunch break.

After lunch we will visit, Victoria the capital of Gozo. The main attraction is the 'The Citadel', a small fortified town which dominates the heights above the island capital. This site has been inhabited since the Bronze Age period. Walking through this historical gem one can admire the medieval layout with interesting features and some excellent examples of domestic medieval architecture, blending with buildings of the Knights of St John. Once at the top, a stunning panorama of the whole island and even Malta's northern coast enfolds.

We make our back to Victoria and drive down to the port for the ferry back to Valletta.

How to get to Blue Lagoon Malta from Sliema, Valletta, Gozo

In this guide, I’ll show you all the options on how to get to the Blue Lagoon (Malta) from Sliema, Valletta, St. Julian’s, Buġibba and Gozo.

If you are planning a trip to Malta, the Blue Lagoon should definitely be on your list, but getting there can take a while, depending on your chosen transport method.

But don’t worry: I’ve laid out all the best options to get you there for an enjoyable trip!

The best options to get to Blue Lagoon

If you’re looking to maximise your time at Blue Lagoon Bay , a few options are easily the best choice.

Taking a private boat trip to Blue Lagoon

The best way to get to the Blue Lagoon in Malta is by taking a private tour with I Malta Boat Trips .

Their private tours can include pick-up from various seaside places in Malta and Gozo.

It is a little more expensive than the other options I present in this guide, but you won’t regret it!

Opting for a private tour is the easiest, most flexible and exclusive way to discover Comino Island .

You can avoid the biggest crowds during the peak season by hiring a private boat to visit the Blue Lagoon. You also have some privacy and enjoy your time at the Blue Lagoon even more. The tours take you to beaches only accessible by private boat.

Best of all, the itineraries can be customized!

Here is how it works: you choose one of the tours offered by the company. Each one has a “classic itinerary” that you can customise if you wish. Feel discovering a bay not included in the itinerary? Just ask the crew beforehand!

As for the departure point , the boats depart from various locations in the North of Malta and also from Gozo, and you can agree on an exact location after booking, again, with flexibility.

Getting to Blue Lagoon

Here are the boat tours they offer:

2 hours private boat trip

If you don’t have too much time, the private 2-hour trip is the best way to discover the small island of Comino. The tour focuses on the highlights: Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon , Cominotto, Lovers Cave, Popeye’s Cave, Lantern Point, the P31 wreck and much more.

Half-day private boat trip

This private half-day tour lasts 3 hours and covers the same places as the 2-hour one, but gives you extra time to enjoy the Blue Lagoon and other stunning places of Comino island.

Sunset Malta Private Boat Charter Blue Lagoon & Comino

Want to visit the Blue Lagoon while beating the hot midday sun? This 3-hour private sunset tour is an excellent choice. You get to visit the same highlights of Comino island, plus Gozo’s southern coast and Paradise Bay in Malta. You finish the day by watching the sunset from the boat (highly recommended!) .

Full Day around Comino, Blue Lagoon & South of Gozo Boat Charter

With this full-day private 6-hour trip , you spend the day relaxing, exploring Comino, swimming and snorkelling. The skipper lets you discover the whole island: Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon, the caves and also secluded beaches and bays such as San Niklaw Bay and Santa Marija Bay.

Full Day Gozo, Comino and the Blue Lagoon Private Boat

If you want to make the most of your day with a visit to Gozo as well, this private 8-hour tour is a good choice. It takes you all around Gozo and Comino, including the Blue Lagoon.

Malta Highlights – Comino – Blue Lagoon – Gozo – Mdina – Blue Grotto

This complete (private) round-Malta tour , lasting approximately 5 hours and 15 minutes, is perfect if you are short on time to explore the Maltese islands, for example, if you are a cruise liner client. You get to explore Comino, Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon, parts of Gozo Island, Mdina and Blue Grotto in Malta.

Book tours and excursions in Malta.

Private yacht cruise to the Blue Lagoon

Other private boats also let you explore Blue Lagoon Malta, such as this private sailing yacht . It is fully equipped (kitchen, dining area and sanitary facilities inside, and a seating area with a table outside) and includes a skipper. A day at sea lasts 8 hours and is perfect for groups (for a maximum of 8 to 12 guests).

Getting to the Blue Lagoon using Public Transport

If you don’t want to do a boat trip, you can get to the Blue Lagoon using public transport.

In this case, you need to get to Ċirkewwa by bus to hop onto a ferry (see further in the guide).

Here are the bus routes you can take and the travel times:

  • From Sliema – Route 222 (1h10)
  • From Valletta – Routes 41 and 42 (1h25)
  • From St. Julian’s – Route 222 (1h)
  • From Buġibba – Route 221 (35min)
  • From Gozo – You need to take a bus to Mġarr Harbour (‘Vapur’ bus stop). From Victoria: routes 301 (16min) and 323 (20min).

If you are coming from another locality in Gozo, you will likely have to go to Victoria first and change buses there.

As you can see, you waste a lot of time this way, which is why most people prefer taking boat tours.

How to get to Blue Lagoon from Sliema

Getting to the stunning Blue Lagoon from Sliema is easy. Located on the Maltese main island, this town offers you plenty of options to take a day trip to Comino and the Blue Lagoon.

For all the following tours, the departure is along the Strand at“Sliema Ferries” .

Boat tour from Sliema

You can get to Blue Lagoon from Sliema by taking a catamaran tour to Comino . While it is not a private tour like those mentioned above, it is much more than a basic sailing trip. The catamaran departs from Sliema at 10 am, heads to Blue Lagoon Malta and returns at 5 pm.

You will visit Blue Lagoon and swim in different bays .

As for the rest, the catamaran does not have a fixed programme and sails according to prevailing weather conditions.

A cold buffet lunch is served during one of the swimming stops. It includes an assortment of cold cuts and cheeses, a selection of salads and seasonal fruits. A free open bar is also stocked with beer, wine, soft drinks and water.

After lunch, a party starts: as top hits and groovy rhythms are played, you can dance and make new friends.

You will find toilet and shower facilities on board, and transfers from and back to your accommodation are available at an extra charge.

The iSeeMalta ferry ride is a cheap yet worthwhile way to get to Blue Lagoon from Sliema .

How does it work?

This is a Hop-On Hop-Off at Sea , which means you can embark and disembark at a few different places during the day.

For example, you stop at Blue Lagoon at 11 am and take the boat again at 4 pm. In the meantime, you can swim in the Blue Lagoon or set off to explore other parts of the island, such as Santa Maria Bay (besides the Comino Hotel) and Santa Maria Battery. This is similar to the Hop-On Hop-Off bus system.

The boat trips stop at Buġibba, Mġarr (Gozo) and Blue Lagoon Comino. While sailing on one of their catamarans, you will enjoy watching the beautiful coastal scenery.

Those tours also allow you to visit Gozo on the same day. There are better options to combine a visit to the Blue Lagoon with Gozo, however.

The small beach at the Blue Lagoon on a less busy day.

Blue Lagoon & Gozo combo day trips

While some tour operators in Gozo only take you around that island, some enable you to discover and spend some time at the Blue Lagoon on their highly-rated summer combo tours. They’re a great way to get a taste of Gozo while enjoying a swim stop at the Blue Lagoon!

Here are the tours, including a swim stop at Comino:

  • Sunset tour by Tuk Tuk

This tour starts at 2:30 pm, till sunset. You will head to Comino first and will have a chance to swim in Blue Lagoon. Then, a boat will charter you over to Gozo Island. A tuk-tuk driver will take you to discover the island.

  • Sunset tour on Quad bikes

Feeling more adventurous? Try the Quad bike tour! The Sunset tour leads you first to Blue Lagoon before letting you explore Gozo by quad bike. You will go off the beaten path and finish the day with a beautiful sunset.

TIP: Use the coupon code MALTA5 to get a 5% discount!

Note that these tours include transport from and to your accommodation, from wherever you’re staying in Malta and Gozo.

How to get to Blue Lagoon from Valletta

If you are staying in Valletta, the ways to get to Blue Lagoon are pretty much the same as for Sliema.

Indeed, all the options listed in the above section apply here.

You just need to cross over to Sliema Ferries by taking the Valletta-Sliema ferry , which is scheduled every 30 minutes. As you land in Sliema, you will be very close to the boats offering tours to Comino.

You can also take the bus to Sliema Ferries.

Alternatively, you can opt for a direct transfer from your accommodation in Valletta .

This catamaran tour to Comino offers an optional transfer for an extra charge.

Yippee Malta tours include transport from and to your accommodation (without extra charge).

As I mentioned earlier, I Malta Boat Trips offers private and customized tours and can depart from a nearby port for convenience.

How to get to Blue Lagoon from St. Julian’s

Wondering how to get to the Blue Lagoon from St. Julian’s?

I recommend you the same boat tours as the ones I mentioned in the section dedicated to Sliema.

All you need to do is to take a short bus ride to Sliema Ferries . There are plenty of buses passing by all the time.

How to get to Blue Lagoon from Buġibba

Buġibba is also the departure point for boat tours to the Blue Lagoon. Here is how to get to Comino if you are staying in Buġibba or St. Paul’s Bay.

Private tours to Blue Lagoon from Buġibba

I Malta Boat Trips offers private and customized tours that can depart from Buġibba as well.

Sea Adventure Excursions

Sea Adventure Excursions offers tours and charters. I recommend you two tours that will take you to Blue Lagoon.

  • Sea Adventure standard tour

This tour is a good way to get to Blue Lagoon Malta from Buġibba. It stops for 2 hours in the Blue Lagoon and 30 minutes in the Crystal Lagoon. You can enjoy the catamaran’s facilities onboard: water slides, sun deck, swim ladders, male and female toilets, and refreshments.

You have the choice between two 7-hour day trips (one of the catamarans – “Sea Adventure” – has underwater windows, the other one does not) and a 4-hour sunset trip.

  • Sea Adventure Beaches & Bays

This tour is also a good option to get to Comino Island, especially if you love swimming and snorkelling. The catamaran first stops at the Blue Lagoon , then in one or two other bays such as Crystal Lagoon (Comino), Anchor Bay (Malta), Mellieha Bay, Golden Bay, or Ramla Bay.

If you don’t have your own snorkelling gear, the crew can lend you one (with a cash deposit).

You can choose between a 6-hour day trip and a 5-hour sunset trip.

The booking system offers some options.

If you are taking the full-day tour, you can have a meat, vegetarian or vegan barbecue lunch at an extra charge. The same applies to the dinner if you are taking the sunset trip.

Here is how to book lunch or dinner:

  • Click on the day you are interested in and choose your desired trip.
  • Then press the blue arrow on the right of the displayed price; the options will display.
  • Select the one you want (if you want one, as it is not an obligation).
  • Then, click on “Book now”.

You arrive at the checkout platform, where you need to enter your personal details before proceeding with the payment.

iSeeMalta Hop-On Hop-Off trips stop in Buġibba before heading to Mġarr Gozo and then Blue Lagoon. The departure is from the Buġibba jetty.

Tours with transfer from Buġibba

As I already mentioned, some tours come with transport from and to your accommodation. The operator can pick you up from Buġibba and drive you to the boat departure.

This service is offered on these Gozo/Blue Lagoon combo tours:

  • Sunset tour by Quad Bike

(Both are available from 15th May – 15th Oct.)

The cheapest option to get to Blue Lagoon from Malta

The cheapest option to get to the Blue Lagoon from Malta is undoubtedly by ferry .

Comino Ferries Co-Op operates from Ċirkewwa and Marfa.

You need to take public transport to the Ċirkewwa ferry terminal bus stops . Alternatively, stop a bit before, at the ‘Ahrax’ bus stop, to take the ferry from Marfa .

Bus number 222 goes to Ċirkewwa from Sliema, bus number 221 from Buġibba and buses number 41 and 42 from Valletta.

The round trip by Comino ferry costs €15 (€7 per child under 10). For the return trip, you can choose a ferry going to Gozo instead of coming back to Malta.

However, there are some downsides to taking the Comino ferry .

Keep in mind the potential hassle of taking the DIY route: the trip by bus is really long and crowded.

Also, there are issues with the buses, as public transport is not always reliable in Malta.

How to get to Blue Lagoon from Gozo

Private trips to blue lagoon from gozo.

As I mentioned before, the best option to get to Malta Blue Lagoon from Gozo is I Malta Boat Trips . Their private trips also start from the island of Gozo.

Yippee tours

Yippee Malta (mentioned earlier in this guide) is a tour operator that is based in Gozo. Its tours can start in Gozo and take you to the Blue Lagoon.

These are the tours:

Self-drive boat

If you love sailing, why not hire a self-drive boat? Getting to Blue Lagoon by your own means can be very fun, plus you are free to decide on your itinerary. No licence is required.

Here are the companies you can rent a boat from: Ebson Ferries , Joy Ride Water Sports , and Xlendi Water Sports .

For the most adventurous

If you are an adrenaline seeker, you can make your trip to Blue Lagoon a real adventure and go by kayak or jet ski . You can rent them from Joy Ride Water Sports , as this company is located at Hondoq Bay in Gozo, facing Comino.

The cheapest option to get to Blue Lagoon from Gozo

You can get to the Blue Lagoon from Gozo with Comino ferries .

First, take public transport to Mġarr Harbour. The bus stops at Vapur, in front of the dock. Buses number 301, 303, 322 and 323 go there.

At Mġarr Harbour, you will find two Comino ferries: Ebsons Comino Ferries and Bella Comino Ferry

The return ticket costs €10, and there is a small discount if you book online.

Keep in mind the downsides of the Comino ferry service . Depending on where you are staying in Gozo, the trip can be very long. Most of the time, you need to change in Victoria, and the buses can get very crowded.

What’s the Blue Lagoon like?

  • The Blue Lagoon in Malta is located on the tiny island of Comino.
  • It boasts crystal-clear water and a small sandy beach .
  • This heavenly landscape, surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea, is relatively untouched by humans . There are almost no buildings, no cars, but you will find some food trucks and beach kiosks.
  • The Blue Lagoon beach faces the islet of Cominotto.

It gets very crowded in the summer season .

Local tips for visiting Blue Lagoon

Here are some tips for visiting Malta’s Blue Lagoon.

  • Either go early or late , as it gets very crowded during the high season.
  • Pay a visit to the other small beaches and swimming spots , they are worth it!
  • Visit off-season to enjoy a more relaxed experience.
  • Avoid weekends (especially during the summer months).
  • Pack sunblock, a hat and, why not, an umbrella, as it gets really hot in the summer.
  • Pack water and food or snacks. You will find a few food stalls in Blue Lagoon. However, it is better to bring your own food because the choice is limited. Plus, if you decide to hike around Comino, you won’t find any place selling food or water at all. The same applies if you opt for a boat trip to visit Blue Lagoon Malta.
  • Bring your snorkelling gear : Blue Lagoon’s crystal-clear water is great for snorkelling.
  • Wear sturdy and closed shoes if you are planning to hike, as there are no paved roads in Comino.

Iain Richard S

A really detailed, lengthy harbour cruise with good Commentary from Renate . We had reckoned on an hour: we got one and a half! No frills, but comfortable, and good value all round. We would go again with friends or family who want to know the geography of Valletta.

I would highly recommend luzzu cruises. We departed about 10 oclock to the island of gozo whare we got off and jumpd into a mini van to get greeted by the lovely Edward.he took us round the island speaking about his lovely island as we went round.

We booked a boat to take 28 of us on the Gozo/Comino cruise. It all started well and the sun was out, but once on land at Comino a huge storm rolled in. We all got wet from the rain and then the ride to Gozo was quite rough. Some of the group were feeling scared and sea-sick. I contacted John Paul at Luzzu, and he was very helpful. He arranged for the group to return to Malta on a bigger boat, and made all the necessary adjustments to our itinerary on Gozo. In the end everyone thought the boat trip was great fun and memorable. No one can predict the weather!

When in Malta, you would be insane not to visit Gozo Island!

Gozo is one of the most spectacular island we have ever seen.  If you have a couple of days to spare, it is very much worth visiting this low-key but spectacular island.

Fortunately, getting to Gozo Island from Sliema, Malta is made easy, convenient, and affordable.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to get from Sliema , Malta to Gozo Island using the public bus and ferry:

First Leg of the Journey: Getting to Cirkewwa Ferry Terminal

To get to Gozo Island from Malta Island, you need to take the public passenger ferry, which connects from Cirkewwa in Malta  to Mgarr in Gozo.

This ferry also takes vehicles so if you are renting a car in Malta, you will be able to take it to Gozo (provided your  car rental company allows it).

You can also easily book a taxi or a private vehicle arranged by your hotel to take you to Cirkewwa.

The steps below are for travellers who would like to take the public bus from Sliema:

Step 1: Take Bus 222 from Sliema to reach Cirkewwa Ferry Terminal.

Look at the timetable at the bus stop to check if  bus 222 goes to that particular stop. you can also use this trip planner ..

Step 2: Pay the driver on the bus.  Adult one way bus ticket to Cirkewwa is 1.50 Euro.  

It is better to prepare the exact fare for faster boarding. Take note that drivers may refuse to receive large notes.

boat trip to gozo from sliema

Step 3 : Enjoy the ride.

Cirkewwa is on the northern tip of Malta Island. The bus journey from Sliema to Cirkewwa takes about 1 hour and 10 minutes. The bus stops often and it can get easily filled up especially during summer.

Take note that you may have to stand the whole way.

To beat the crowd, take the bus early in the morning.  The bus has allocated space for luggages but it is quite limited. Bring small luggages as courtesy to other passengers. If you can’t, then it’s better to book your own car going to Cirkewwa Ferry Terminal .

Step 4: Arrive at Cirkewwa Ferry Terminal.

The bus stops right near the ferry terminal so you can just walk to the terminal gate.

Step 5: enter the ferry terminal and line up to pay the ticket., step 6: pay the ticket..

Step 7: Get on the ferry and find a comfortable spot.

This is a massive ferry, equipped with a cafeteria and toilets. For us, the best spot to stay during the ride is definitely the top deck! From there, you can enjoy gorgeous views of the sea and Gozo.

The Malta to Gozo ferry journey only lasts about 20 minutes. Enough time to breathe fresh sea air and take photos.

Gozo Channel operates the passenger and car ferry service. It operates from 6 am to 6 pm, every 45 minutes.

9 Comino and Gozo Boat Trips to Cruise Your Way in One Day

Gozo & Comino in One day: Boat Trip Cruise to Malta Sisters’ Islands

Visit Gozo and Comino in one day with boat trips and cruise activities for water sports and sightseeing without fretting over which bus to take in Gozo for land excursions. A cruise will bring you to see panoramic cliffs, coves and inlets around the islands which are unique travel highlights in Malta. Swim, snorkel, dive or sunbathe at renowned Comino Blue Lagoon.

Comino Boat Trips

Gozo and Comino in One Day

You can see both Comino and Gozo in one day due to the similar direction in which the cruise is heading. It is a popular choice for tourists to shorten the travelling time as many boat trips offer such a service. Departing from Sliema Malta, the ferry will first pass by Comino and then to Gozo as Comino Island is in the middle of the three islands.

However, you may also want to consider spending two different days in Comino or Gozo by taking a ferry . That depends on the intention of your visit and length of stay in Malta. After spending 2 weeks in Malta mostly in my Maltese friend’s car, I have concluded that the waiting time for buses and the journey is time-consuming and crowded. I have also taken a bus to the beaches situated in the northern part of Malta.

Swim at Comino Blue Lagoon

The renowned Blue Lagoon at 3.5 sq km of Comino Island is incredible. Comino has the bluest water in the Mediterranean sea. One can see an azure paradise of the Blue Lagoon from far by ferry. The sea pool makes it perfect for swimming, snorkelling or diving as no boat can enter into the sister island of Malta. The Comino history is best known for its hideout for pirates to raid Gozo or to escape from its enemy.

The turquoise sea colour was also used as shooting scenes for some famous movies – Troy (2004) and Swept Away (2002). Hence, Comino Blue Lagoon is one place where you like to chill if you are in for some water sports. If you are not there for swimming but merely want to witness its splendour for a short while, you can take a ferry and proceed to Gozo. Take note that the Comino Island is a highly touristic place. You have been warned, though.

Comino Blue Lagoon Cruise

Sightseeing in Gozo

Gozo is another island which I would term it similar to Malta where there are more things to do and see other than the beach. It is the second-largest island next to Malta. You can visit the UNESCO site, Citadella at Victoria, which is the centre of Gozo. There are many more hidden gems at Gozo which is worth exploring and will wow your day away. If a city tour is what you fancy instead of swimming and sunbathing, then you can go Gozo directly and spend an entire day there.

Comino and Gozo Boat Trip Cruise

Here are some highlights of the boat trips and cruise activities you can do in Comino and Gozo in one day . Some of the tour packages include hotel transfer or otherwise, optional with a small charge. There is free WiFi on board of the vessels.

Easy enough to do yourself

Catch a bus (222 from Ferries or Chalet) to Cirkewwa then board big ferry - pay for boat on way back

Then take a HoHo bus tour on Gozo.

We travelled to Gozo yesterday, you now need to pay for a ticket before you board ferry. €4.65 return cash or card. We then caught a bus to Victoria. A bit chaotic as no one other than the British queues but the drivers pack folk on. We spent our time at the Citaddela ( castle) stunning with brilliant views. The ramparts are basically free but you can pay €3.50 pensioners rate for us to visit 5 small museums inside. A smashing day.

Other folk we chatted with thought the HOHO bus a waste of time and money but obviously that’s a personal choice.

I generally prefer Gozo Sightseeing.

There are sometimes discounts available and you can haggle with the ticket touts at the ferry port or in Victoria.

You can also use the public buses although on Gozo these are less frequent and mainly radiate out from Victoria. Less efficient than the HoHo between sites.

You could also look at an organised tour - we did in a minibus through Oasis years ago - our driver/guide was good but they get mixed reviews - you can be a bit rushed, compelled to spend time at a souvenir store or be hanging around waiting for others.

Sometimes lunch is offered although that can be a bit ‘cheap’ almost canteen style and sees you sitting with strangers trying to make small talk….

Package reps often arrange better tours but some of that still applies.

There are various tourist shops selling trips or see posters in hotels.

Thanks for info it’s good to hear from someone ho has just been.The buses sound a bit more busy than I was expecting so will just try to hope for the best.

Not a big fan of HO OF buses as they can sometimes waste your time.

The issue with Gozo is that no public bus does a circular route. I think you can enjoy a good wander around Victoria & see the Citadella etc. If you then have time, jump on a bus elsewhere.
