The Blue Lagoon, which is located on Comino, the smallest of Malta’s islands, is renowned for its vivid azure blue waters and is a particularly popular tourist attraction from May to October.
A boat tour is the ideal way to experience the Blue Lagoon, even if you may take a straightforward ferry to get to Comino itself.

Tours to the island of gozo
We transfer to the Cirkewwa terminal located in the north of Malta to board our ferry for a short ferry crossing to the island of Gozo. During the crossing, you will pass the smaller island of Comino and you will notice a top of the high rugged cliffs stands the Santa Maria Fort which was used during the movie ‘Count of Monte Cristo’ (filmed 2002). Our ferry crossing lasts only 25 minutes and on arrival, we join the guide and tour transport for our tour of Gozo.
You will immediately notice that Gozo is much greener and has certain characteristics making it different from the larger island of Malta. We start our tour with a visit to the shrine of Ta’Pinu (dedicated to the Blessed Virgin of Ta’ Pinu). This important church is set in a stunning location, on the edge of a ridge in open countryside and providing beautiful views of the surrounding area. The church is also linked to a number or ‘miracles’ which you will discover during your visit.
We continue to our next stop and the area known as ‘Dewjra’. Here you will see three interesting geological sites including Dwejra Bay and the Inland Sea which is a lagoon of seawater which has access to the open sea through a small arch-like tunnel. You can take a small boat trip around the inland sea and through the tunnel (cost of the boat trip is not included in the tour rate, allow €4 per person if you would like to do this and if time allows). Another of Dwejra’s geological delights is the Admiral’s Rock or as it is better known, Fungus Rock. A special plant is said to grow here which has various medical cures for conditions such as dysentery, bleeding and impotence.
Just before our lunch break, we will visit the Ta’ Dbiegi Crafts Village where you can view local handmade pottery, mouth-blown glass, Gozo lace and silver filigree. This shortstop is ideal if you want to pick up a souvenir or just a short rest stop before you settle down for lunch.
After lunch in the main city which is locally called Rabat but you are likely to know it as Victoria, we will take a short walk through this busy little city to join a trackless train for a short trip up the steep hill to the fortified Cittadella. The Cittadella is a small walled city within the city of Victoria, only a small number of families still live within the walls. This historical fortified city has recently undergone major restoration works and you can visit the new visitors centre, explore quaint alleys or stroll around the walls enjoying amazing views of the island from the high bastions.
The final part of our tour of Gozo will take us through some of the villages, en route we will stop at the Qala Belvedere. This stop gives you an amazing scenic view of the landscape cascading down to the coast and in the distance the smallest island of Comino and the larger island of Malta…all in one photo.
At this stage, our tour is coming to an end and we will make our way back to the ferry for our return to Malta and transport you back to the drop off point.

Brief history of Malta
Just a small group of islands in the central Mediterranean, Malta is one of the most country with a long and rich history. Let’s look at the most fascinating archipelago in the world. Malta is a relatively small group of islands, but because of its strategic location, it has played a significant role in the Mediterranean. Throughout the course of its history, various powers have attempted to conquer the archipelago. The contemporary nation of Malta is made up of five islands, the biggest of which is named Malta and is sometimes referred to as Malta Island to distinguish it from the country. The other four islands are Kemmuna, Filfla, Gozo and Comino. About 180 miles north of Libya and 58 miles south of Sicily, respectively, is where you’ll find Malta.
The island of Malta, which is the biggest in the territory of the Republic of Malta, stretches for around 27 kilometers from north to south. Southwest of Sicily, on the Mediterranean Coast, is the island of Malta. Malta may have been first visited by boat 7,000 years ago, and people have been residing there ever since. Malta is blessed with several ports that act as natural ports. Malta is one of Europe’s tiniest countries, yet it’s also among its most crowded. In August 2009, Malta was photographed in real color by the NASA Earth Observing-1 satellite’s Advanced Land Imager. Malta emerges in tones of gray, tan, brown, and green against the deep, dark ocean. The majority of the island is covered in a gray urban landscape, which is concentrated on the vibrant port city of Malta on the northeastern shore, which is frequented by yachts, cruise liners, and shuttle boats.
