What the Tour Covers

The core of the trip revolves around Malta’s breathtaking coastline and its natural formations. The Blue Lagoon is a must-see for many—famed for its vivid turquoise waters and pristine white sands, it’s the perfect spot for swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing. Reviewers like Amy loved the snorkel gear, remarking that “the amount of fish you can see is incredible,” which highlights how much marine life you’ll get to enjoy.

Just nearby, the Crystal Lagoon offers a quieter, more intimate experience with exceptionally clear waters and vibrant marine life. Surrounded by high cliffs, it provides a sheltered spot for snorkeling or diving into its deeper waters. This lagoon is appreciated by enthusiasts for its underwater visibility, making it ideal for exploring interesting rock formations and marine creatures.

Exploring the Caves and Cliffs

One of the standout features of this tour is the chance to explore sea caves along Comino’s rugged coastline. These natural rock formations, shaped by centuries of wave action, are visually stunning and offer a sense of adventure. Reviewers like Isabella and Roxane emphasize how their guides—most notably George—took them to beautiful caves with arches and crystal-clear waters. Swimming through cave openings or simply marveling at the play of light within the caves creates memorable moments that stand out from typical boat tours.

The Santa Marija Tower (a 17th-century landmark) is also part of the itinerary. It adds a historical dimension and offers great photo ops, framing the natural scenery with a touch of Malta’s history.
