Comino Boat Tour Tickets – Best Prices & Deals


I live in Malta and regularly take boat tours with family and friends along Comino, the Crystal Lagoon, the Blue Lagoon and the impressive sea caves surrounding the island.

A boat trip to the Blue Lagoon (Maltese: Bejn il-Kmiemen) is, in my opinion, one of the most enjoyable excursions you can do during your holiday in Malta.

It is an experience you will never forget: the crystal-clear water of the Blue Lagoon stays with you forever.

When the sun shines, the sunlight is reflected by the white sandy seabed, giving the water its famous turquoise colour. This natural phenomenon makes the Blue Lagoon truly unique in the Mediterranean.

Below, I have created an overview of the different boat tours and excursions.

The boat tours listed below are suitable for all ages, including families with children and older travellers. The excursions are educational, relaxing and active, with plenty of opportunities to swim, snorkel and discover the natural surroundings of Comino and Gozo.

Comino Boat Tour Tickets: Best Prices & Deals – Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to expand the answer.

What is the cheapest boat tour to Comino?

The cheapest Comino boat options are usually standard day cruises or ferries. If you mainly want low-cost transport to the Blue Lagoon, compare the ferry tickets to Comino first.

How much do Comino boat tour tickets cost?

Comino boat tour prices range from budget ferry tickets to higher-priced Blue Lagoon cruises with food, drinks, caves or extra swimming stops. The final price depends on duration, departure point and what is included.

Why do many Comino cruises have similar prices?

Many Comino cruises follow similar routes to the Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon and sea caves. Price differences usually come from food, drinks, boat size, swimming time and departure location.

Are cheaper Comino tours worth it?

Yes, cheaper Comino tours can still be worth it if your main goal is swimming at the Blue Lagoon. They usually offer fewer extras, so they are best for visitors who want a simple and affordable Comino day trip.

What is included in budget Comino boat tickets?

Budget Comino tickets usually include the boat trip itself and a Blue Lagoon swimming stop. Food, drinks, snorkelling gear and extra cave visits may cost extra or may not be included.

Are food and drinks included in the price?

Some Comino cruise deals include food and drinks, while cheaper tickets often sell them on board. Always check the booking details before paying so you know exactly what is included.

Which departure point offers the best value?

Bugibba and Marfa Bay often offer very competitive Comino boat prices. However, if you stay in Valletta or St Julian’s, a Sliema departure may save time and transport costs even when the ticket price is slightly higher.

Is the Blue Lagoon access pass included?

Not always. During peak season, visitors going ashore at the Blue Lagoon may need the free Comino access registration with a time slot, even if they already have a boat or ferry ticket.

Are there discounts for children?

Many Comino boat operators offer reduced child prices. For families, compare the route, shade, toilet facilities and duration rather than choosing only the lowest ticket price.

Do cheaper tours still visit the Crystal Lagoon?

Some cheaper tours visit the Crystal Lagoon, but not all of them do. Crystal Lagoon and cave stops are more common on longer Blue Lagoon cruises and mid-range Comino excursions.

Is booking in advance cheaper?

Booking online in advance often gives better availability and more stable prices. As someone living in Malta, I have noticed that the best-value departures can sell out several days ahead during July and August.

Which Comino ticket offers the best value overall?

The best-value Comino ticket depends on your plans. Choose ferry tickets for independence, a standard Comino cruise for sightseeing, or a private boat for maximum flexibility.

What is cheaper: ferry or boat tour?

A ferry is usually cheaper than a full Comino boat tour. It is best if you only want transport to the Blue Lagoon and prefer to explore the island independently.

When is the cheapest time to visit Comino?

The cheapest time to visit Comino is usually spring or autumn. July and August are the busiest months, so demand is higher and the best-value tickets sell out faster.

Can I buy Comino tickets on the day?

Yes, but buying Comino tickets on the day is riskier in summer. Online booking is better if you want a specific departure time or the cheapest available option.

Are there last-minute deals for Comino tours?

Last-minute Comino deals are uncommon in high season because popular boats often fill up. Booking ahead is usually the safer way to secure a good price.

Do cheaper tickets mean crowded boats?

Not always, but budget Comino tours can be busier during summer. Larger boats may still feel comfortable because they have more deck space and seating.

Can I stay on the boat to avoid crowds?

Yes, many travellers stay on board during the Blue Lagoon stop, especially around midday. This can be more comfortable when the beach area is very busy.

Are party boats cheaper or more expensive?

Party boats are usually more expensive than basic ferries because they often include music, drinks and entertainment. See party boat tickets if you want a social atmosphere.

Is a private boat more expensive?

Yes, a private boat is more expensive because you hire the whole boat rather than buying a single seat. For families or groups, private boats to Comino can still offer good value per person.

Are morning tours cheaper than afternoon tours?

Prices are usually similar, but morning departures often offer a better experience because the Blue Lagoon is quieter earlier in the day.

Does tour duration affect price?

Yes, longer Comino tours usually cost more because they include more time on board, extra swimming stops, cave visits or a Gozo stop.

Is Gozo included in cheap Comino tours?

Some Comino tours include a short Gozo stop, but many budget options focus only on Comino and the Blue Lagoon. Check the route before booking.

Are taxes or booking fees added later?

Most online ticket prices show the final price, but you should still check the booking page for included items, cancellation terms and any local extras.

Is snorkelling equipment included in cheap tours?

Usually not. Some Comino boats rent snorkelling equipment, but bringing your own mask and snorkel is often easier and cheaper.

Are refunds available on discounted tickets?

Refund policies depend on the operator and ticket type. Discounted tickets may have stricter cancellation rules, so check the conditions before booking.

Is it worth paying more for a Comino cruise?

Yes, paying more can be worth it if you want caves, Crystal Lagoon, more comfort, food and drinks, or a more relaxed Blue Lagoon day trip.

Can I upgrade my ticket later?

Upgrades depend on the operator and availability. It is usually easier to choose the right Comino ticket when booking rather than trying to change it later.

Which option is best for a tight budget?

For a tight budget, choose a ferry or a basic Comino cruise. A ferry is cheapest, while a basic cruise may give better value if it includes caves or more time on the water.

Which Comino boat tour is best for families?

Families usually do best with a standard day cruise that has shade, toilets, seating and a manageable duration. Avoid very long party-style trips with young children.

Which Comino boat tour is best for couples?

Couples often prefer a quieter cruise, a sunset option or a private boat. If privacy matters, a private boat is the most comfortable choice.

Are Comino boat tour prices higher in summer?

Yes, demand is highest in summer, especially from June to September. Booking earlier gives you more choice and reduces the risk of missing the best-value departures.

Which ticket is best if I only want to swim?

If you only want to swim at the Blue Lagoon, a ferry is usually enough. If you want swimming plus caves and a more scenic route, choose a standard cruise.

Which ticket is best if I want caves and Crystal Lagoon?

Choose a longer Comino cruise or private boat if you want sea caves and Crystal Lagoon. Very cheap tickets often focus mainly on the Blue Lagoon.

Where can I compare all Comino ticket options?

You can compare routes, prices and boat styles on the Comino boat tours overview page.
