This powerboat trip is ideal if you want flexibility to explore on your own while still enjoying a fast, direct route to the Blue Lagoon and the Comino sea caves. Key Details 📝 Duration: 6 hours Departure time: 10:30 Departure location: Jetty behind Verdi St. George’s Bay Marina Hotel, St Julian’s Islands visited: Gozo (Mġarr Harbour) and Comino (Blue Lagoon) Free time: Around 2 hours on Gozo and around 2 hours on Comino Return time: Approx. 16:30 back in St Julian’s Blue Lagoon access: Government-issued access pass required to go ashore (afternoon slot via blcomino.com) What to Expect 🧭 Your day starts at the jetty behind the Verdi St. George’s Bay Marina Hotel in St Julian’s, where you check in and board a comfortable powerboat. Once everyone is seated and briefed by the skipper, you head out along Malta’s northeast coast towards the Gozo Channel. The ride is typically around 45 minutes, depending on sea conditions, and gives you a quick sense of the coastline before you come into Mġarr Harbour, Gozo’s main port. Here you disembark and have around two hours of free time to explore at your own pace – whether that is taking a taxi or bus up to Victoria and the Citadel, grabbing a coffee on the harbour front, or making a quick trip to another viewpoint if time allows. Around early afternoon, the powerboat returns to collect you from Mġarr and heads straight for Comino. You arrive at the Blue Lagoon and step ashore (with a valid access pass) for a relaxed afternoon. This is your time to swim in the clear turquoise water, snorkel over the pale sandy seabed, or simply sit above the bay and take in the coastal views. If you prefer to stay off the beach, you can follow short trails on Comino for quieter spots and different angles on the lagoon and Cominotto. The stop here is long enough to combine a proper swim with some time on land, so you do not feel rushed. At roughly 15:45 you reboard the powerboat for the return leg to St Julian’s. Before heading home, the skipper detours to show you the Comino sea caves from the water, running close to the cliffs where conditions allow so you can see how the sea has carved into the limestone. You then cross back to Malta, typically arriving at the St Julian’s jetty for about 16:30. From there you can walk back into St Julian’s and Paceville, or link on to buses, taxis, or evening pl… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Powerboat trip from St Julian’s to Gozo Approximately two hours of free time on Gozo (Mġarr Harbour area and beyond) Powerboat trip from Gozo to Comino Free time on Comino and at the Blue Lagoon in the afternoon Powerboat trip from Comino back to St Julian’s Visit to the Comino sea caves on the return leg Experienced skipper throughout All fuel costs for the full route ### What’s not included Government-issued access pass to go ashore at the Blue Lagoon (must be booked separately via blcomino.com, afternoon slot) Hotel pick-up and drop-off transfers Food, snacks, and drinks on Gozo, Comino, or during the crossings Guided tours on Gozo or Comino (all island time is unguided free time) Snorkelling equipment, umbrellas, or beach facilities Tips and gratuities ### Kit list _None._ ## FAQs ### How much can I realistically see during my two hours on Gozo? You have around two hours of free time on Gozo, starting and finishing at Mġarr Harbour. That is enough to either explore the harbourfront at a relaxed pace or head up to Victoria and the Citadel for a quick look at the old town and views over the island. Many visitors use a local taxi or bus from Mġarr to Victoria, walk around the Citadel, grab a coffee, and then return in time for the powerboat pick-up. If you prefer to keep things simple, you can stay in the Mġarr area. There are cafés, viewpoints over the harbour, and short walks that do not require extra transport. Because this is unguided time, you choose whether to prioritise history, scenery, or a relaxed snack before continuing to Comino. Just keep an eye on the clock and allow enough margin to be back at the meeting point before the agreed pick-up time. ### Do I really need a pass to go ashore at the Blue Lagoon? advance via the official website blcomino.com. For this particular trip you need to choose the afternoon timeslot, as your Comino stop runs through that period. Passes are limited each day, so it is sensible to arrange this well ahead of your chosen date. If you do not have a valid pass, you will not be allowed to disembark at the Blue Lagoon. In that case you will be taken to Santa Marija Bay instead, which is another bay on Comino but different from the main lagoon. No refund is given if you cannot land due to not having a pass, so it is important to treat the pass as part of your planning in the same way you would treat your boat ticket. ### How fast is the powerboat and what if I get seasick easily? Powerboats are designed to move quickly between islands, so crossings can feel lively, especially when there is some chop or swell. You will be seated with good handholds, and the skipper will adjust speed to suit conditions on the day. If the sea is calm, the ride feels like a fast but smooth transfer. If there is more wind, you can expect some bumps as the boat moves between waves. If you are prone to seasickness, it is worth taking motion-sickness tablets or other remedies recommended by a pharmacist before you board. Sitting nearer the middle or the back of the boat can feel more settled than right at the bow. Looking at the horizon and avoiding heavy food or alcohol beforehand can also help. If you know you react strongly to boat movement, this sort of high-speed crossing may not be the best choice for you. ### Is this trip suitable for children and families? Families with school-age children often enjoy this itinerary because it mixes a boat ride, two islands, and time to move around on shore. However, it is not suitable for very young children: participants must be at least three years old, and all children must be accompanied by an adult. The crossings can be bumpy when the sea is up, so children need to be comfortable staying seated and following the skipper’s instructions. On Gozo and Comino, you organise your own activities during free time. That gives families flexibility but also means parents need to plan simple, achievable goals for the time available. Gentle walks, a café stop, and a short swim work well. Bringing sun protection, water, and snacks for children is strongly recommended, as shade and food options may not always be right where you land. ### What swimming and snorkelling opportunities will I have? Your main swimming opportunity is at the Blue Lagoon during your free time on Comino. Once ashore (with a valid access pass), you can choose where to get into the water; some entry points are via steps or rock shelves, others from small beach areas. The pale seabed and clear water make this an appealing place for general swimming and for simple snorkelling close to shore. The boat does not provide a formal guided snorkel session, so you are responsible for your own time in the water. If you plan to snorkel, bring your own mask and snorkel, as equipment hire may be limited or busy at peak times. Always keep an eye on changing conditions and stay within your comfort zone—there can be boat traffic and areas of deeper water beyond the shallows. ### How physically demanding is the day and who should avoid it? The day is graded easy because there are no long hikes or technical sections, and most of the distance between islands is covered by boat. You should, however, be comfortable walking on harbour promenades, short slopes, and basic paths on Gozo and Comino. Stepping on and off the boat requires balance and the ability to manage a small step up or down. The activity is not suitable for people with significant back or heart problems, pregnant guests, or those with serious mobility limitations. The boat is not wheelchair-accessible and strollers are not permitted on board. If you struggle with unexpected movement, cannot stand securely on a moving surface, or rely on mobility aids that cannot be carried, it is better to choose a larger, more stable vessel or a land-based tour. ### What should I wear and bring with me? Choose light, comfortable clothing suitable for a day split between boat decks and exposed island locations. In warmer months, a T-shirt or light top, quick-drying shorts, a hat, and sunglasses, combined with high-factor sunscreen, work well. In shoulder seasons or on breezy days, a light jacket or windproof layer will make the crossings more comfortable, particularly on the return leg when you may be damp from swimming. Footwear should be secure and practical—trainers, walking sandals with straps, or similar. Flip-flops can be slippery on wet decks and uneven paths. Pack swimwear, a towel, and perhaps a spare dry top if you intend to swim. A small backpack, refillable water bottle, some snacks, and a waterproof pouch or dry bag for your phone and valuables will make the day smoother and reduce the risk of items getting splashed. ### Is there any guidance on how to use my free time on Comino and Gozo? On Gozo, a common pattern is to take a taxi or bus from Mġarr to Victoria, visit the Citadel briefly, and then return to the harbour, leaving a margin for any delays. If you prefer lower-effort options, you can spend your time around Mġarr itself, enjoying the harbour views, a coffee, or a short walk up to a viewpoint. There is no set route, so you can adjust to how you feel on the day. On Comino, your main choices are whether to focus on swimming and relaxing close to the Blue Lagoon or to walk a little further to quieter spots around the island. Short trails lead away from the busiest area and give good views over the bay and towards Gozo and Malta. Whatever you choose, keep the skipper’s meeting time and point firmly in mind: the boat cannot delay departures for late arrivals. ### What happens in bad weather or if sea conditions change? This trip is always subject to weather and sea conditions. If strong wind or rough seas make the route unsafe or unsuitable, the operator may cancel the tour before departure, in which case you will be offered the choice of rescheduling or receiving a full refund. Sometimes conditions are borderline, in which case the skipper may adjust speed and routing to keep things safe, even if that means a less direct line or slightly different timings. During the day, sudden changes in weather can also affect how long it is sensible to spend in exposed areas or at sea caves. The skipper has the final say on altering the order of visits or shortening certain segments to maintain safety. While every effort is made to deliver the advertised experience, guest safety and boat handling limits always take priority over completing every element exactly as described. ### Can I bring bags or luggage on board, and is there storage? You can bring a small day bag with essentials such as water, sun protection, swimwear, and valuables. Space on a powerboat is limited, so compact, soft bags are preferable to rigid or very large packs. Luggage and large suitcases are not allowed, as they can obstruct movement and become a hazard in rougher water. There is no dedicated lockable storage on board, so you should keep passports, wallets, and electronics in a bag you can keep close to you, ideally in a waterproof pouch. When you go ashore, take important items with you rather than leaving them unattended on the boat. Planning to travel light for this trip makes moving between islands and getting on and off the boat much easier. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-28-at-14.24.24.png - **Gallery image count**: 7 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
