Nestled between Malta and Gozo, the island of Comino is a true haven for swimmers, snorkellers, divers, and nature lovers. Covering just 3.5 square kilometres, this island is virtually uninhabited, offering an escape into pure serenity.
Your journey begins at the Sliema Ferries, where you’ll embark on a scenic cruise towards Comino. Along the way, enjoy stunning views of the Sliema promenade, St. Julian’s Bay, St. George’s Bay, St. Paul’s Bay, St. Paul’s Island, and Mellieħa Bay.
After a brief photo stop at Mġarr Harbour in Gozo to drop off guests disembarking there (not included during the 5.5-hour trips), we head straight to Comino. Here, you’ll have some time to explore and appreciate this charming gem of the Mediterranean.
Prepare to be captivated by the breath-taking Blue Lagoon! Its turquoise, crystal-clear waters, white sandy seabed, and vibrant marine life create the perfect setting for relaxation and unforgettable memories.
From January to April, as well as in May and October, the stop at the Blue Lagoon typically lasts approximately 3 to 3.5 hours. During the peak summer period from June to September, two departures are available (morning or afternoon), with approximately 2 hours spent at the Blue Lagoon.
Spend your time basking in the sun, swimming, snorkelling, or strolling through Comino’s unspoiled countryside. On your return to Sliema, the cruise will also pass by the enchanting Comino Sea Caves.
From May to October (weather permitting), the itinerary includes an additional 45-minute stop at either the Crystal Lagoon—a stunning spot with turquoise waters framed by dramatic cliffs and caves, perfect for swimming and snorkelling—or St. Nicholas Bay, a peaceful inlet featuring two small sandy beaches and calm, shallow waters.
With no cars or urban development, Comino is equally appealing in autumn and winter, making it a fantastic destination for hikers and photography enthusiasts. Discover scenic trails leading to St. Mary’s Chapel, St. Mary’s Watch Tower, and St. Mary’s Battery.
