We had the perfect day! - Absolutely amazing! Staff are so friendly and helpful! I would highly recommend the Speedboat trip for the additional €15pp, well worth it! The optional shuttle bus around Gozo Island was useful for an additional €5 ppl. Stopped at the captial city in Gozo (about 1.5 hours to explore) and Xlendi Bay (beautiful views, though only able to stop for about 15mins). Travelled with 2 teenagers, aged 15 and they had a really good time as well. Not one complaint from either of them the whole day! I've been on quite a few of these type of boat trips and can honestly say one of the best I've been on in terms of vibes, staff and activities.

Great value for a memorable day out, the Blue Lagoon especially is breath-taking - This trip was simply unforgettable. It's a big boat and quite busy, but you don't really feel on top of each-other. The trip is run to the minute with military precision, this really helps as you get to see a lot.
The Blue Lagoon is breath-taking and the slide on the boat and the excellent mooring spot make it great fun. Swimming in the Mediterranean in April, who'd have thought it!
The trip to Gozo is a good addition (the 5 Euro minibus fare is worth it), the only issue is that you'll want more time (a couple of hours flies by). Having said that, when you see what this trip packs into the day - it covers an awful lot in 6-7 hours.
Definitely a recommended trip with a professional and friendly company.

Brilliant Trip Well worth the money - Best Trip of the Holiday!!
Fun boat to be on good music and cocktails and the blue lagoon was so beautiful !! I would definitely recommend paying the optional extra when you are there for the speedboat around the caves. Absolutely stunning the water is amazing. Great value for money would defo book with this company again. The top deck has deck chairs so if you want to bag a space I’d recommend getting there a little earlier.

Amazing day- a must while visiting Malta! - The blue lagoon is simply stunning! Well worth a visit. We were on the hornblower. The boat was well equipped and food and drinks were reasonably priced. The slide and being able to jump from the top deck were a real highlight.
We paid the extra money for the speedboat ride (15 euros) and the tour bus (5 euros). Both were well worth it.
The day was well organised, didn’t feel rushed and was the highlight of our whole holiday. We would highly recommend.

Highly recommend -fun-informative-a great way to spend a day - Unbelievable! This crew was amazing, and the cruise was amazing. Highly recommend the additional boat ride to caves. I hate boats and I hate speed....this guy was competent and fun.
The bus into Victoria was great as well.
I 100% recommend it. We went in April, and it was chilly in the shade, so bring a sweater or blanket.

A day I’ll always remember - We had the most amazing time, the Blue Lagoon was beautiful and the water was so clear!
Loved the pineapple cocktails and being able to enjoy the boat trip from the sun loungers on the top deck.
The slide into the sea was great fun too!

Boat cruise was lovely!... - Boat cruise was lovely! Great stops, beautiful caves, funny captain and good offer at the restaurant. Next time i would choose only the stop at Comino, because time at Gozo was a little too short to see something. Definitely would recommend!

Blue Lagoon - Loved the blue lagoon, but unfortunately getting off boat whilst at anchor and at Gozo,was not disabled friendly ,so not able to do much or go far.
But well worth the money ,crew were very informative and the fresh pineapple was lush.
Would recommend, but would say take warmer clothes incase,as very windy coming home .
