The 4 Best Malta Ferry Trips

1.Sliema/St. Paul’s: Gozo, Comino & Blue Lagoon Ferry Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 1,137 reviews · 7 hours - 450 minutes · from $41Our pick

Take a modern, air-conditioned catamaran from Sliema or St. Paul’s Bay to Gozo and Comino. You get about two hours on each island, with time for Victoria, swimming at Blue Lagoon, or an optional €15 cave boat. This is an independent ferry trip, not a guided tour.

“This tour is great for a quick acquaintance with Gozo (Victoria) and Comino (Santa Maria caves & the blue lagoon). The sea was a bit rough so the crew started handing out sick bags (shout-out to them). It's not really a "guided tour" but more a boat transfer. It's mostly families, friends or couples who book this tour. Therefore I would not recommend this tour if you're travelling solo.”
