If you’d like to stay in Gozo during your trip to the Maltese Islands and would like to take a boat trip to the famous Blue Lagoon, you don’t have to go back to the main island to do so.
Forming part of the village of Għajnsielem, Mġarr Harbour is used daily by many tour company operators who organise boat trips to popular destinations like Comino.
Check out my guide below for the top-reviewed Gozo blue lagoon boat trip recommendations.
Although Gozo is smaller than Malta, and you can get from point A to point B relatively quickly, you still need transportation to get to the harbour unless you’re staying within walking distance.
