3-hour Trip Itinerary

Departure; Start your journey from our designated starting point at Cirkewwa. You will be greeted by our skipper for an unforgettable boat trip.

1; Blue Lagoon, Malta Stop Duration: 45 minutes Activities: One of the most iconic landmarks in Malta. Swim in the crystal-clear waters, snorkel with sea bream and damselfish, or grab a pineapple cocktail and capture that perfect shot.

2; Cominotto Island This is a smaller island near Comino, famously used as a filming location for the movie Troy starring Brad Pitt. It's a fantastic place for snorkeling or exploring the secluded white sandy beach where Brad Pitt once stood.

3; Cominotto Reef This reef is located to the north and west of the island and is a great spot for spotting octopus if you're sharp-eyed. There's also a cave that goes through the island.

4; Lovers Cave Possibly the nicest cave on the Maltese islands and one of the lesser-known ones. It stretches around 40 meters deep and ends with a hidden sandy beach.

5; Pigeon Rock An island off the Comino coast, it looks like an iceberg jutting out of the water. You can admire the geological formations and the colorful rock surface.

6; Popeye Cave This cave earned its name after the Popeye movie starring Robin Williams was filmed here. It's a great spot to grab some -worthy shots.

7; Crystal Lagoon

Stop Duration: 20 minutes Some of the best caves and the iconic Comino Tower can be seen here. Crystal Lagoon is lesser-known than Blue Lagoon and only accessible by boat, but it's equally beautiful. It's a prime spot for snorkeling and swimming, and it's also home to the best cliff diving locations in the Maltese islands (optional).

8; Santa Marija Bay Stop Duration: 5 minutes Santa Marija Bay is a quiet bay with a secluded beach, often frequented by local boaters. The white sandy beach is lined with tamarisk trees for some shade—perfect for relaxation, snorkeling, swimming, and enjoying delicious snacks. Let’s make some unforgettable memories!

9; Santa Marija Caves These caves are a popular spot for scuba divers, many of which have air pockets, and some are connected by underwater tunnels. The area is known for grouper fish and sea bream. It was also featured in the Count of Monte Cristo movie, rumored to be home to the treasure of Spada.

10; Elephant Rock A rock formation that resembles the head of an elephant, this spot was another shooting location for the Count of Monte Cristo.

11; Gozo Island - Hondoq Bay A beach in the south of Gozo, known for its blue waters, cliff diving, and water sports. It's mostly frequented by locals.

12; Gozo Island - Halfa Island: 5 minutes A small island off the coast of Gozo with a rich historical significance for Malta. Between Gozo and the island, there's a shallow lagoon with crystal-clear waters. This lagoon is famous for its natural grey mud, believed to reduce signs of aging, remove blackheads, clear acne, and leave your skin glowing and firmer (optional, but it's fun to take some muddy photos!).
