The day opens on water: low sun slices across a small boat as it slips from Malta toward Comino, the sea turning from steel to turquoise. You step ashore briefly for the Santa Marija caves, then settle into the lull of a one‑hour swim stop in the Blue Lagoon — shallow, clear water that invites snorkeling and slow drifting.

The day opens on water: low sun slices across a small boat as it slips from Malta toward Comino, the sea turning from steel to turquoise. You step ashore briefly for the Santa Marija caves, then settle into the lull of a one‑hour swim stop in the Blue Lagoon — shallow, clear water that invites snorkeling and slow drifting.
From Comino the route carries you to Gozo. Mgarr Harbour feels lived‑in: limestone ramps, fishing skiffs and the low hum of engines. At this point the buggy portion begins — a driven tour that threads coastal roads and cliffside viewpoints. Sanap Cliffs and Dwejra’s dramatic coast (site of the former Azure Window) show Gozo’s limestone plates and jagged erosion sculpted by millennia of waves and wind.
History rides along with you: Phoenician, Roman and Knights of St. John influences have shaped the islands’ chapels, salt pans and small villages. A stop at Ta’ Pinu offers a quiet counterpoint, while the Xwejni salt pans provide the setting for pizzas, wine and the slow descent of a Maltese sunset.
Practical guidance: this is a 6–8 hour combined boat + land experience with light walking and a single hour swim stop. Bring swimwear, sun protection and a wind layer for the boat. Expect uneven limestone underfoot at viewpoints and standard boat‑timing constraints. The tour balances easy access with a sequence of coastal geology, cultural stops and a relaxed sunset dinner — a compact way to sample Gozo’s sea, stone and sky in one evening.
No—many people enjoy the shallow parts of the Blue Lagoon; bring a snorkeling vest if you’re unsure or stay onboard during the swim stop.
Departures typically start from the Malta pick‑up point and include boat transfers to Comino and Gozo, with a return to the original drop‑off area in Malta.
Yes—this tour includes a sunset dinner (pizza, wine and water) served at the Xwejni salt pans on Gozo.
The operator lists wheelchair and stroller accessibility for parts of the tour, but boat boarding and some cliff viewpoints involve steps—notify the operator ahead for arrangements.
