Rebekka · Group of friendsGermany · June 2026
Fantastic boat tour, especially for the price – absolutely recommended! I was initially worried about whether it would work with a baby and toddler, but it was really no problem at all. The only downside was the stop at the Blue Lagoon. I would recommend a boat tour to other locations. As you can read in other reviews, the place is quite crowded. That's a complete understatement. Even though we were there in the off-season, and you even have to make a reservation to access the bay to avoid overcrowding, you're still shoving your way through the throngs of people on narrow paths, past food stalls. There's nothing romantic about the bay. However, the stop is very short, and you could simply stay on the boat and admire the beautiful water or go for a swim (highly recommended).
Otherwise, as I said, a wonderful tour with breathtaking views!

Our boat trip to the Blue Lagoon and Santa Maria Bay was simply unforgettable! The water is crystal-clear, turquoise, and perfect for swimming and snorkeling. The crew was super friendly and knowledgeable, and made the trip very relaxing. It was especially great that we were able to discover small, hidden coves that aren't visible from land. The atmosphere on board was relaxed and easygoing, ideal for families, couples, or friends. Highly recommended – a highlight of Malta/Gozo that you absolutely shouldn't miss!
