Ċirkewwa / Mġarr Harbour
This is a popular half-day private boat tour that offers a memorable experience to all visitors interested in getting a taste of Malta’s two sister islands, Comino and Gozo.
During the first part of the day, the skipper will take you around some of Comino’s secret coves and hidden caves, including Lantern Point, the Monte Cristo Cave, the Santa Marija Caves, the Comino Arch, and the P31 wreck (weather permitting).
The boat will then moor at the Crystal Lagoon, a wonderful stop ideal for snorkelling and getting a glimpse of the incredible marine life known to Maltese waters. Next, you’ll have time to experience the crystal clear waters of the Blue Lagoon away from the heavily crowded shore.
Finally, the boat cruises to Gozo’s southern coast, where you’ll visit scenic points ideal for snorkelling, such as Ħondoq Bay, Il-Ġebla tal-Ħalfa, and the Elephant Rock.
