With two swim stops, provided masks and snorkels, and short coastal cruising, it’s a great way to see Blue Lagoon and Crystal Lagoon without committing to a full day at sea. The route is designed for people who want time in the water rather than a long ferry transfer. Key Details 🐠 Duration: 3 hours 30 minutes Departure times: 09:30 and 13:30 Departure location: Jetty behind Verdi St. George’s Bay Marina Hotel, St Julian’s Return times: Approximately 13:00 and 17:00 (depending on departure) Main stops: Blue Lagoon (Comino), Crystal Lagoon Additional sightseeing: Santa Maria caves (from the boat) Included equipment: Masks and snorkels (fins not included) Boarding: Arrive 15–20 minutes before departure What to Expect 🐬 Your trip starts at the jetty behind St George’s Bay Marina in St Julian’s, where you’ll check in and board the boat. After a short safety briefing, you set off along Malta’s eastern coastline towards Comino, passing landmarks such as St Paul’s Islands en route. This part of the experience is about relaxed coastal cruising, giving you time to get used to the boat, sort your snorkel gear, and enjoy the views before the first stop. The skipper will point the bow towards Comino while you stay on deck, ready for time in the water once you reach the island. The first highlight is Santa Maria caves, which you’ll visit from the boat. There is no swim stop here, but you’ll get close views of the rock formations and sea caves that cut into the coastline, with time for photos as the skipper manoeuvres into the best positions. From there, the boat continues to the Blue Lagoon, where you go ashore for roughly one hour. Here you can swim in the shallow, clear water, use your mask and snorkel to explore the sandy bottom and reefy edges, or find a spot on the rocks to relax between dips. After the Blue Lagoon stop, you re-board the boat and head to Crystal Lagoon for the second swim. This sheltered bay is a strong snorkelling location, with steep-sided rock walls and clear water that suits confident swimmers and casual snorkellers alike. At Crystal Lagoon you will stay with the boat and swim directly from the ladders, using the supplied masks and snorkels or your own kit if you have brought it. Once everyone is back on board, the skipper turns back towards St Julian’s, returning you to the original jetty around 13:00 or 17… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Masks and snorkels Boat trip from St Julian’s to Comino Visit to Santa Maria sea caves (from the boat) Swim stop and free time at the Blue Lagoon (around one hour) Swim stop at Crystal Lagoon Boat trip from Comino back to St Julian’s Experienced skipper All boat fuel costs ### What’s not included Snorkel fins Food and drinks Hotel pick-up and drop-off Tour guide or in-water guiding Tips and gratuities ### Kit list _None._ ## FAQs ### How long is the trip and what is the schedule? The snorkelling adventure lasts about 3 hours 30 minutes. You can choose a 9:30 a.m. or 1:30 p.m. departure from St Julian’s, with return around 1:00 p.m. or 5:00 p.m. You’ll cruise out past St Paul’s Islands, stop to view the Santa Maria caves from the boat, enjoy free time ashore at the Blue Lagoon, then finish with a swim stop at Crystal Lagoon before heading back to the same jetty in St Julian’s. ### How much actual time do we get in the water? Across the 3.5 hours, expect around one hour ashore at the Blue Lagoon plus a solid swim stop at Crystal Lagoon from the boat. The rest of the time is spent cruising between locations and viewing the Santa Maria caves. The route is designed to keep travel time reasonable so you get meaningful snorkelling and swimming at both lagoons without needing to commit a full day. ### Do I need to be a strong swimmer to join? You do not need to be an expert swimmer, but you must be able to swim unaided and feel comfortable in open sea water. You’ll be entering and exiting the boat via ladders and swimming in areas where it may be too deep to stand, so basic water confidence is essential. If you are nervous in the sea or cannot swim, this trip is not suitable; a short coastal cruise without swim stops would be a better option. ### What snorkelling equipment is provided, and can I bring my own? Masks and snorkels are included in the price and are available on the boat for all guests, so you don’t have to bring your own kit unless you prefer to. Fins are not included, but you’re welcome to bring your own fins if you want more efficient movement in the water. Many regular snorkellers like to use their own mask and snorkel for the best fit, while first-timers are usually happy with the gear provided. ### Where exactly do we depart from in St Julian’s? The boat leaves from the jetty behind the Verdi St. George’s Bay Marina Hotel at 8, Ix-Xatt Ta' San Ġorġ, St Julian’s. When you reach the entrance to the hotel’s underground car park, look for a black iron gate. Go through the gate, walk down the ramp, turn left, and follow the yellow line painted on the ground until you arrive at the jetty where the boats and jet skis are moored. You should be there 15–20 minutes before your chosen departure time. ### Is the boat suitable for children and families? Families are welcome, but children must be accompanied by an adult and under-3s are not allowed for safety reasons. The trip works well for older children who are confident in the water and excited to snorkel at the Blue Lagoon and Crystal Lagoon. Parents should supervise children closely during boarding, when using the ladders, and while swimming, as this is a shared boat in a natural sea environment with variable depth. ### Is the trip accessible for people with limited mobility or prams? The boat is not wheelchair accessible and strollers are not allowed on board due to space and safety constraints. You’ll need to manage steps, move around a moving deck, and use ladders to get in and out of the water, so a reasonable level of mobility is required. If you rely on a wheelchair or have significant mobility issues, a larger, more accessible sightseeing boat without swim ladders is likely to be more comfortable. ### What should I bring with me for this snorkelling trip? Pack for a half day at sea: swimwear, a beach towel, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat or cap are essentials. Comfortable shoes or sandals are useful for boarding and moving around the jetty. You should also bring some cash and any food and drinks you want, as catering is not included and card payments on Comino are not always guaranteed due to patchy mobile data. If you own snorkel fins or a favourite mask, bring those too for extra comfort in the water. ### What if the weather or sea conditions are poor on the day? The itinerary and specific stops can change if wind, swell, or sea conditions make certain locations unsafe or uncomfortable. The skipper has the right to adjust the plan or switch bays to find the best possible conditions. If conditions are clearly unsuitable and the operator cancels the trip, you’ll be offered a new date or a full refund if you cannot reschedule. Standard charges apply if you cancel your own booking within 24 hours. ## 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-09.23.22.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.
