Malta: Blue Lagoon, Beaches & Bays Trip by Catamaran

1. Malta: Blue Lagoon, Beaches & Bays Trip by Catamaran

We will stop in 2-3 different locations. The first stop will be the Blue Lagoon. The boat will drop anchor away from the crowds so that you can experience the famous turquoise water peacefully. The stops after the Blue Lagoon depend on the weather/sea conditions. A few of our possible stops are: 1. Crystal Lagoon, surrounded by steep, dramatic cliffs. Its crystal clear waters are much deeper than the Blue Lagoon, making the area fantastic for snorkelling and swimming in and around the caves. During this stop, you can enjoy an optional barbecue. 2. Anchor Bay to view the film set of Popeye’s Village, tucked away in a charming bay. Other stops that could be made include Mellieha Bay, Golden Bay, GHajn Tuffieha Bay, Ramla Bay, Imgiebah Bay, or Half Rock. All of these locations are great for snorkelling and swimming. Back on the boat, listen to dance music, and buy cocktails at the bar. If you have selected the afternoon option, relax and watch the sunset on the horizon. After a wonderful day at sea, begin the journey back to Bugibba.

This excursion exceeded my expectation. It is not to be missed activity when visiting Malta. Mike the guide who is a Gozo native had made it even more enjoyable with his local knowledge and sense of humor. The quads are a bit old, but they were safe and stuffy enough to run the 45 km trip around Gozo. Also, u fortunately we could not drive through Victoria the capital but we had good views of the walled city throughout the trip. Ozone of the highlights is the local tasting and shopping as well as lunch in one of the plazas by an old church.

Awesome tour! Hotel pickup/drop-off was super convenient. Cil was an amazing guide. She took us to so many different sights and gave us such interesting information. She offered us a private tour option, which the group I was in agreed to and it was well worth it. The Jeep was so cool to ride in, but hold on! It was very windy, so we did have to take the public ferry to Gozo, but taking the smaller, more private one back was very nice. The included lunch was good as well. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to see Gozo in a day!

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.

Very friendly drivers, helpful, full of knowledge about everything in Malta.

The guide was excellent, knew the area and history, was fun and polite.
