Why take a boat trip or excursion to Comino, the Blue Lagoon and Crystal Lagoon?
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-Kmiemenis) 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.
