It was an amazing experience overall - the blue lagoon is truly a beautiful place to behold even in December with really mild temperatures. The caves were awesome and I especially enjoyed walking on the island to the Santa Maria Tower where my favourite movie was filmed (Chateau d'If from Count of Monte Cristo). All our children - adult and teenagers, all had tons of fun. The only disappointment was we didnt get to swin in the rather inviting waters due to jellyfish being everywhere - i didnt know of or hear anything about the possibility of jellyfish being an issue at all at this time of year.

I had a great time on this cruise. We got going on time. Throughout the trip there were announcements as to the history of what we were seeing in multiple languages. I especially enjoyed seeing the Comino Caves and the Blue Lagoon. We had about an hour stay at the Lagoon. When we arrived at Gozo we were bussed to Victoria, where we had about two hours before we were picked up and brought back to the harbour. Drinks were available on the boat throughout and were resonably priced. All in all a great experience and excellent value for money.

Everything was really great, friendly crew members who helped and explained everything. You can buy a trip to Gozo for 5€ (Extra 1€ if you pay with card) when you arrive. Only thing was that some groups brought and drank alot of alcohol and were very drunk, trashed the place and couple times almost fell off the boat.

Great, it was really nice, the landscapes are beautiful but the only downside is that during the stop in Gozo to go to the city you can't get there on foot.

This was a well organized trip with tasty lunch in a beautiful restaurant. We were with kids, and nobody had lost. :)
