The 15 Cave Boat Tours in Malta Worth Going Under For

1.Malta: Gozo, Comino, Blue & Crystal Lagoon, & Caves Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 5,092 reviews · from $34Our pick

Join Captain Kevin and the Hornblower crew for a seven-hour family-run cruise from St. Paul’s Bay. You’ll see Malta’s cliffs, caves, and St. Paul’s Islands, stop at the Blue Lagoon for swimming, then spend three hours around Gozo. A €5 minibus transfer to Victoria, a snack bar, deck seating, and a 10-meter slide make this a lively day on the water.

“It was so much fun and a great way to see Gozo/Blue Lagoon. We didn’t get to swim in the crystal lagoon but this may have been due to time of year (April). However we stopped at the best location in the Blue Lagoon and slid, jumped and swam in those gorgeous waters! It was so much fun. Communication was clear and we enjoyed the free time we had in Gozo. I would recommend if you’re strapped for time and don’t want to navigate the transport systems!”
