Wondering how to get to the Blue Lagoon from Gozo?
I’m a local, and in this guide, I show you exactly how to get there.
Long story short – There are two ways you can get there:
To help you weigh the pros and cons between the two, I created this guide with all the information you need to enjoy a smooth journey from Gozo to the island of Comino and its stunning Blue Lagoon.
Following the new measures introduced in 2025, you must now pre-book an access ticket via the online booking system if you want to get a spot on the shore or walk around the island throughout your day on the island of Comino.
Some ferry operators include the pass with their own tickets, but it’s always best to check with your operator of choice.
Check out the full details here: Blue Lagoon Access Tickets Guide.
Let’s compare the two most popular ways of getting to the Blue Lagoon from Gozo:
| Comparison | FERRY SERVICES FROM GOZO | BOAT TRIPS FROM GOZO |
| Price | The cheapest option (approx.€10-15 for a round-trip ticket), but you need to get to the terminal quite early. | More expensive (starting from €30), but you can enjoy a shorter and more comfortable journey to Comino. |
| Flexibility | The last trip from Comino Island back to Gozo is usually at around 6:00 PM (depending on the company and how many people are still on the island). | There are a variety of Blue Lagoon boat trips to choose from. Some companies offer later starts to the day, allowing you to enjoy a sunset tour instead. |
| Access ticket | You need to pre-book your free ticket to the Blue Lagoon to set foot on shore. | You don’t need to book your free ticket to the Blue Lagoon if you’re staying on board or just swimming. |
| Sightseeing | The skipper includes a visit to the caves on your way there or on your way back. | Most companies include stops at caves and small bays only reachable by private boat. |
| Experience | With little space on shore in summer, you’ll need to find a spot somewhere. Lockers are available, but not the best experience. | You can leave your belongings on board, chill, enjoy sunbathing, buy food and drinks on board (or get your own), and use the water slides & snorkelling gear. |
