Review of Malta’s Sliema cruise to Gozo, Comino, Crystal Lagoon, Blue Lagoon, and sea caves, with honest tips on timing, crowds, and value.
“Very good, had a great day, shuttle between 2 islands, happy”
Cruise from Sliema to Gozo and Comino, with Victoria, Qala Belvedere, Blue Lagoon swimming, caves, and practical tips.
“Crew were very friendly. The water was quite rough due to the weather, and people started getting sick in the boat— so just be mindful. The crew handed out sick bags to people. We didnt manage to visit the blue lagoon due to the weather (not the operator’s fault at all). The alternative bay we docked in (St. Mary’s bay) felt a bit dead and boring. But the overall excursion and coach transpo in Gozo was nice. Transpo organized well. Also, don’t forget to register and get the QR for the blue lagoon to avoid delays as they check it before boarding the boat.”

“The activity was really good, the boat from Sliema to Gozo was very clean, spacious and well organised. The buses were waiting for us when we went to Gozo and took us straight to Victoria. There were lots of reminders about departure times and I felt I had long enough at each stop. Well worth it!”

Review of the Sliema gulet cruise to Gozo and Comino, with Blue Lagoon swims, buffet lunch, unlimited drinks, tips, and honest drawbacks.
“Unfortunately, the sea was really rough the day we went on the trip and lots of people were sick. The boat was quite crowded so not everyone was able to lie on the deck which was probably why so many got seasick. Comino was beautiful although very crowded and we were there before the height of the summer season! We hired snorkels on the boat for €5 (cash only) but they weren’t very good and let water in so my advice would be to buy one in Sliema before you get on the boat. The food served was ok but was only served from 12.30pm to 1pm which didn’t allow…”

Review Malta’s 2-day hop-on hop-off bus and harbour cruise, with route tips, major stops, value advice, access details, and practical drawbacks.
“It's easy to explore the most important sights. But you have to be careful, as there are two providers on the island, so you can't take just any bus. You also have to pay attention to the signs, as the north route buses are not necessarily blue. Unfortunately, the audio guide provided does not work on every bus. They are not the newest. We took full advantage of the offer with a two-day bus tour and a harbor tour on the third day. (Tip: sit on the right side so that the explanations match what you are seeing.)”
Explore Malta by North and South bus routes, then cruise the Grand Harbour. See key sights, but plan around possible delays and traffic.
