This is a great trip, effectively taking a full day (seven hours). It's brilliantly organised, and nicely leaves people with free time in the key places, while ensuring transport around Gozo. Staff in the boat are friendly and helpful. The sights are excellent. Good value. Highly recommended.

We had an enjoyable time. It is suitable for people who do not mind spending a half day with a large group. Staff were friendly. The time spent at Gozo was a bit short - it was not a guided tour (if you are expecting it to be). Blue Lagoon was fully packed with people so it was not relaxing.
Blue lagoon, prepare yourself for a lot of people, so use the possibility on the boat to use the slide, swim and tan. You need to manage some walking in Gozo, if you want to explore the city. All over the trip was well organized, and the crew on the boat were very friendly. The caves on Comino island were fascinating.
Efficient and clean boat to Gozo. Well planned stops. Good value. Friendly operator’s staff. Nice stop at Blue Lagoon n Victoria.
Blue Lagoon was lovely on a hot day. Scenery all day was incredible. Crystal clear water. Boat was great with slide into the water. It was very hot walking around the Citadel but lots of good views. Crew was great ❤️
The
same as me. It is rather for younger people, 3 hours go and back, 2 hours in Gozo - nothing to do, getting off 2 km from center, why not in the center? Caves nothing special
Wonderful day seen different parts of Malta. The staff were very friendly. Highly recommend this is something that you do.
Fun boat trip with swimming and coctails at the destination. We had an intermediate stop at Gozo, honestly could skip that part as it is more educational than relaxing and there's too little time for that
Beautifully organised and the crew are lovely. Everything ran on time. Bus organised to take us to Victoria which was a lovely place to visit.
Well organised but there was too little time in The Blue Lagoon. We didn’t have time to swim as much as we wanted.
You explore Gozo for yourself so make sure you know what you want to see. Bring a towel and lots of suncream
You just get dropped off at Gozo and you have a steep walk to St Anthony Church and its surrounds. I found the walk worthwhile. The church inside is beautiful and the view overlooking Gozo is amazing. Once you have done that you just have enough time to have lunch a meet the bus again. The bus does stop at a scenic spot for pictures. The blue Lagoon is definitely worth while and jumping off the boat and the water slide adds to the value away from the crowds
False advertising ticket was supposed to include a tour of Gozo- was dropped off in 90 degree heat with a 10 minute walk uphill to the Citadel and was told we were on our own to explore for 2 hours.
Excellent value full day trip. Boarding was relatively easy, although you are required to validate your Blue Lagoon landing QR code at the stall opposite b4 u board. This wasn’t clear beforehand. After cruising past the various resorts and Comino, you arrive at Gozo. Was a little bit chaotic as so many people with different wristbands were directed to numerous coaches. Trip within Gozo was stunning. The Citedalla at the top of the hill had stunning views. After a couple of hours it was back to the boat for another 90 mins free time. Boat berthed at a quieter part of the lagoon which was ideal, as other areas were heaving with other trips with hundreds of swimmers. Boat had its own slide and as it was berthed you could come and go as you pleased. Unlike previous -ve reviews, we found the trip to be well organised, informative and was made up of all ages. Boat has a bar serving through the trip and prices were reasonable. Toilets were clean and routinely inspected and resupplied.
After the lagoon, we returned to Sliema via the caves of St Mary for some cracking photo ops. Return to Sliema was around 90-mins, returning at 5:30pm.
Overall an enjoyable day at a reasonable price. Can highly recommend.
Amazing experience, thank you! The excursion was very smooth, no problems. The toilets could have been a bit cleaner. Would recommend 100%.
Not as advertised! We expected commentary on Gozo; instead driven to parking spot and told to walk up hill and see the citadel and city and be back in 1-1/2 hrs. Got back early and driver wouldn’t let us on bus and out of heat (know you can’t do anything about the heat wave but we could have sat in air-conditioning on bus for 20 minutes!) Driver was busy conducting other business on phone while time, even while driving. Boat was over-crowded.
If you want to go with 250 of your newest 17-25 year olds you met in the club last night, this is your tour. If you are an actual adult or family or want to actually see the city or snorkel don’t bother. This was nothing more than any spring break at Lake Havasu, Panama City, or Cancun. If they just called it a party boat with a quick dip in the blue lagoon with 3000 other people, that would be a more apt description. Cattle boat couldn’t be a more appropriate way to describe. The “tour” (in quotes on purpose because it’s anything but), starts with filling the boat to max capacity, an hour and a half ride where you can’t see anything because all the “teens” gathering around the rails to vape, then they drop you off with no accountability or directions to get on a random bus in Gozo. After a 20 minute ride, you’re dumped out on some side street with expert directions of head up the hill, you’ll eventually get to the citadel, be back in 2 hours. Then back on the boat to the blue lagoon where there are legitimately 50 other boats and 3000 other people to snorkel or “explore the island”. Snorkeling is watching 3 fish under the boat while trying not to be hit by people on water slides, jumping from the bow or top deck of boats, or any number of idiots launching themselves from the rocks/cliffs. As for shore, it’s nothing but food trucks or chair & umbrella rentals. Then it’s fighting all 3000 people down the single file stairs to get back on the boats that all leave at the same time to make space for the evening wave. Back on the boat you get treated to an entire boat of overserved kids eating three hotdogs at a time and loudly telling each other what a giant (insert demeaning term) they were. Do not waste your money.
We took a 1.5 hour boat ride put to Gozo, then hop of on bus . Then over to blue lagoon which was spectacular. Very crowded.
Trip overall was good but didn't get long enough in Gozo...was only there for approximately 1 and a half hours.
This is a very enjoyable trip that takes you to Comino and Gozo, two interesting islands in the Malta archipelago. The blue lagoon is fantastic and certainly worth a visit. The cruise itself is quite pleasant and shows much of the area around Malta. Gozo is a nice place to visit. But the trip basically takes you to Victoria and drops you there for a couple of hours with no guide. I wish they had someone explain the history of the island and guide us to the places worth visiting. Still the trip is worthwhile.
Boat tied to shore and gave us a terrible spot to swim. If you want to enjoy yourself then take a catamaran and forget this boat.
Response from Host, May 2026
Dear Sam_H,
We re sorry to hear that you didn't have a good experience.
Blue lagoon jetties are controlled by Transport Malta and the authorities tell us which jetty is available at the time so it doesn't matter which boat to take, because the captain has to follow the authority s orders.
Hope you ll enjoy the rest of your stay in Malta.
Kind regards

I loved everything: beautiful views, a great crew, the Blue Lagoon is simply amazing, I've rarely seen such clear water! And the slide on the boat is unforgettable.
The journey by boat it 90 mins. Its a bouncy journey out but superb back. The time in Gozo is not long enough. The transit van we was expected to travel in was old and very cramped. No air con and would be unbearable in anything above 23c.The driver dropped us off and just said walked left and up the hill. Not a great start and the next statement was be back by 2.15. We then waited on our own waiting for the boat. Coming amd thr blue lagoon are the same thing. Comino is the island the cove is the blue lagoon.
Its crowded and the route can be dangerous is volcanic rock. Several street food places and cocktails street sellers.
Water can be cold in May. The bus tour probably needs more information about Gozo. The rest was good.
Be prepared for a lot of uphill walking. You don't get a tour, Gozo time to walk to Citedel and back to bus, no time for lunch or seeing the town we were at, then straight to the Blue Lagoon for one hour. Everyone was dressed for swimming. Big disappointment! Then we were done with just the ferry ride back to the drop off.
Great excursion, well organised. Blue Lagoon was beautiful but didn’t expect the crowds and the amount of fast food vans - great to have food and drink there but took away from the experience for me. Nothing to do with the organisers but worth knowing before you go
Absolutely wonderful time with luzzo cruises, John paul, our captain was brilliant and the rest of the staff, unfortunately I cannot remember their names but they were so nice and helpful. We went to Gozo where we were net by a wonderful bus driver who brought us to victoria and back to the boat, we swam in the blue Lagoon and I highly recommend it
Nice clean boat.
Very busy/ almost full the day we sailed.
Well organised.
The transfer to Gozo’s capital was included and with enough time for a wander around the Citadel and a coffee.
It’s an uphill walk from the bus drop off, if you have mobility problems it could be challenging.
There is a lift at the Citadel.
A 90 minute stop at the Blue lagoon was about right
Time for a famous pineapple cocktail and a sit.
It was very busy.
Remember to book a landing pass if you wish to leave the boat.
We had an enjoyable day out in general.
Very poorly organised and executed.
- online ticket
- confusion at departure jetty having to scan qr codes and go from one person to another. Should have just had to show ticket and be given the arm bands.
- arrive at Gozo - complete mayhem , no buses ready , being pushed into separate groups before finally departing about 40mins later.
- Dumped in Victoria about 500m from the Citadel and told to be back at the bus 1hr 15min later (would have been 1hr 45min if there had been buses at the jetty in Gozo waiting.
The Blue lagoon was visually good but completely overcrowed with people all over the place. There were at least twice the number of people that the place would comforably handle.
The start of the trip was a little tricky as we weren’t aware that we needed a landing pass before we could actually get on the boat
When we got to Gozo for the land transportation there was lots of confusion as to were we had to get the transport from which took more then ten minutes to sort out
After all this the trip in whole was a good one just need to sort the above issues out first
A full day with a passionate guide. John pointed out lots of information that you would never know or find out on your own.
