Details
Everybody looking for lots of swimming, snorkeling and exploring will be delighted by our full-day cruise to Blue Lagoon and Comino from Buġibba Jetty on "Mermaid Cruises". On our way towards Comino island, we pass Mellieha and you get the chance to admire the spectacular coastline. Get your cameras ready to take pictures of magical places!
Our longest stop is at the famous Blue Lagoon where you have plenty of time to enjoy the crystal clear, turquoise water and explore the uninhabited island of Comino on foot. Don't forget to bring along your swimwear and snorkeling equipment, you will have plenty of opportunities to use it here! The boat will remain docked in Comino, so you are welcome to have lunch (either your own or buy something from our snack bar) and use the facilities on board. After about 1 hour at Blue Lagoon, it's time to board the boat again.
