Details
Our boat trip to the Blue Lagoon and Crystal Lagoon Caves with swimming stops is the perfect mix of mesmerizing landscapes, where every stop promises a new adventure.
The departure is set from Cirkewwa. We will start our journey by delving into the enchanting depths of the Crystal Lagoon Caves, spending 30 minutes exploring the mystical wonders hidden beneath the surface. From there, we will drift towards the Comino Blue Lagoon, a paradise of azure waters and golden sands. Here, you have a full hour to swim and snorkel, immersing yourself in the vibrant marine life.
As the sun reaches its zenith, the boat will approach the Mgarr Harbour Gozo, offering a picturesque backdrop for capturing fascinating pictures. Take your time to savor the charm of this quaint fishing village before continuing the trip. The next stop will be at St.Maria Bay (only from March until September), a secluded gem where rugged cliffs meet the sea. Spend another 30 minutes indulging in a refreshing swim, surrounded by the untouched beauty of this hidden cove.
As the day progresses, the boat meanders along the coastline, passing by St. Nicholas Bay, and the legendary Santa Maria Caves. Each vista offers a new perspective of Malta's natural splendor, and crystalline waters that define this island paradise, which will accompany us until our return to the starting point in Cirkewwa.Highlights
