Unveiling Malta’s Hidden Gems: A Journey Through Comino’s Crystal Waters

Drawn by the allure of the sea, I embarked on the Comino Island Exploration to experience the Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon, and majestic sea caves. Join me as I dive into the crystal-clear waters and uncover the serene beauty of Malta’s hidden gems.

Setting Sail from Bugibba

The sun was already casting its golden glow over the horizon as I made my way to Bugibba, the departure point for the Comino Island Exploration. As a marine biologist, the allure of the sea is irresistible, and the promise of exploring the Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon, and the majestic sea caves was too tempting to pass up. The catamaran, a family-run vessel, was bustling with excitement as fellow adventurers boarded, eager to set sail.

The journey began with a gentle cruise along Malta’s stunning coastline. The commentary provided in multiple languages was both informative and engaging, offering insights into the geological formations and marine life that inhabit these waters. As we passed the tiny Island of St. Paul’s, the statue of the apostle stood tall against the azure sky, a silent guardian of the sea.

Diving into the Crystal Lagoon

Our first stop was the Crystal Lagoon, a hidden gem accessible only by boat. The water here was unbelievably clear, a snorkeler’s paradise. I couldn’t resist the call of the sea and quickly donned my snorkeling gear. Diving into the lagoon, I was greeted by a vibrant underwater world, teeming with marine life. The steep cliffs surrounding the lagoon added an air of mystery and adventure, making it a perfect spot for exploration.

The catamaran was equipped with waterslides and jumping platforms, adding a playful element to the experience. I watched as fellow travelers, young and old, took turns sliding into the refreshing waters, their laughter echoing across the lagoon. The crew was attentive and friendly, ensuring everyone had a memorable time.

Relaxing at the Blue Lagoon

After an exhilarating hour at the Crystal Lagoon, we set sail for the Blue Lagoon, the crown jewel of Comino Island. The catamaran moored in a prime location, offering breathtaking views of the turquoise waters. I took a moment to soak in the serene beauty, the gentle lapping of the waves providing a soothing soundtrack.

The Blue Lagoon was a haven for relaxation. I swam to the nearby Kemunett, a quieter spot with fewer people, and found myself in a paradise of tranquility. The absence of jellyfish was a pleasant surprise, allowing for uninterrupted swimming and snorkeling. The onboard facilities were impressive, with air-conditioned indoor areas, locker services, and affordable food options.

As the day drew to a close, we cruised back to Bugibba, passing by the Santa Maria caves. The rock formations, including the “Elephants Head,” were a testament to nature’s artistry, providing a perfect end to a day of exploration and adventure. This trip was a reminder of the ocean’s endless wonders and the joy of discovering them.
