A Great Adventure. - The trip to Comino was very interesting. Admission to the island was free. Due to the time of year, the island was not too crowded. We had the opportunity to explore the island for a few hours, swim in the Blue Lagoon, and see the caves on the way back. The ship's crew was very friendly and helpful. I recommend this trip.

This was a relaxing day... - This was a relaxing day for me. Although, in October it’s still really busy and you probably won’t find a spot near the water. Anyways I risked it and placed my stuff on the rocks and I felt safe. The water is AMAZING. I also recommend walking around go all the way to the top and keeping walking forward you’ll see amazing views and get yourself a pineapple!

There's an island pass... - There's an island pass for Blue Lagoon you need to download also. The team was able to assist us, but might be easier to do this sooner...or arrive a early to get this completed.

Very worthwhile excursion - Great ride, very nice crew, the crystal lagoon was also there, little tip at the blue lagoon rather run to the left, since it is a bit more relaxed, prices on board were full OK

Looking forward to doing this again - The full-day cruise was an amazing experience with stunning locations throughout. The crew were incredibly kind and knowledgeable, answering all my questions and providing interesting commentary about each spot we passed. The sea was very bumpy with high tides this season. They gave us plenty of time at the caves and other scenic locations to take photos and videos without feeling rushed. We missed the Blue Lagoon slide since I visited in winter, but that's a great reason to come back in summer! Overall, a fantastic experience with beautiful scenery and an excellent crew. Highly recommend, and I'll definitely be booking again!

Great day out! - Great boat day out! The blue lagoon was kind of busier than I had anticipated with lots of food trucks. Also note there is the option to go to Gozo, or you can stay on the boat and visit the Crystal lagoon - which I found less obvious at the time of booking.

Well organised and good fun - The boat was punctual and the staff helpful, the boat was full, the two swim stops were good but would have been too busy in the summer season.

Disappointing and overcrowded - I was really looking forward to this trip but was very disappointed with it. The boat trip was around 3 hours in total, with not much to see. There were a few snacks on board, but nothing vegetarian and only instant coffee. After dropping off people on Gozo, we headed to the Crystal Lagoon where we stopped for 45 mins. It didn't look much like a lagoon, and we didn't swim as we were more or less in open sea which didn't look inviting. The onboard slide looked very flimsy and a bit small. When we got to the Blue Lagoon, the water looked much better, but the place was heaving. There's a very small stretch of sandy beach, but nowhere to sit as it was so overcrowded, nor really any room to swim. When we got out we ended up perching on a rock behind the food trucks, waiting until our boat returned from Gozo, when we got back on board and chilled out there to escape the crowds. The path to the tiny beach was lined with a load of fast food trucks. Good in a way as the food on board was so limited, but something of an eyesore. A big deal was made of getting a wristband as visitors to the Lagoon are limited, but I can't see there are any limits in place. This was November so can't imagine what the summer is like. If you're staying on Gozo it may be worth taking the small ferry over first thing, before all the big boats arrive, but I certainly wouldn't recommend the trip from Sliema.
