About this activity
Spend a full day in Comino with Hornblower Cruises, departing directly from Bugibba Jetty.
This 7-hour cruise takes you along the north coast of Malta to the caves of Comino, before a long 4.5-hour stop at the Blue Lagoon. You can swim, snorkel freely, sunbathe on the upper deck, enjoy the 10-meter slide, or explore the island on foot.
An ideal option if you want to spend more time at the Blue Lagoon than a typical half-day tour, without hotel transfers or an imposed guided program.

Frequently asked questions
Does this tour allow for more time at the Blue Lagoon?
Yes. This is the main advantage of this Hornblower cruise: you get an approximate 4.5-hour stop at the Blue Lagoon, compared to a shorter duration on most half-day excursions. This is a good option if you really want to take your time to swim, sunbathe, snorkel, or explore Comino.
What is the difference with the Yippee Comino & Sea Caves cruise?
The Hornblower cruise lasts 7 hours and departs directly from Bugibba Jetty, without hotel transfer. It features a long 4.5-hour stop at the Blue Lagoon, with a large boat, slide, on-board bar, and sun loungers subject to availability. The Yippee cruise is a shorter half-day trip with hotel transfer, exclusive Yippee boat, Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon, welcome drink, and included water.
Does the boat stop in Gozo?
No. On this cruise, the boat passes by Gozo for photo opportunities of the harbor, but there is no free stop on the island. If you wish to visit Gozo for several hours, you should choose the Hornblower Gozo, Comino & Blue Lagoon Caves cruise.
