Itinerary

  1. Departing from Marfa Bay in Mellieħa, you will embark on a 6‑hour scenic cruise in the beautiful, crystalline waters of the Mediterranean Sea to discover the beauty of the islands of Gozo, Comino, and their surroundings.
  2. As we cruise along the shoreline, the journey takes you far beyond the usual crowded beaches and tourist routes. The highlight of the day is exploring a series of off the beaten track bays, each offering its own atmosphere and natural beauty. Places like Ramla Bay, with its golden sands glowing just beneath the water, and San Blas Bay, a tiny, secluded cove tucked between lush valleys, offer a sense of peace and space that feels worlds away from the busy mainland. Daħlet Qorrot, a small and quiet fishing inlet with incredibly clear waters framed by rugged limestone cliffs, adds another layer of discovery. And then there’s Dwejra Bay, a dramatic natural amphitheatre of rock and open sea, where swimming feels almost otherworldly. (2h 0min)
  3. Along the way, the cruise also takes you past a collection of other iconic coastal locations, giving you a complete sense of Gozo’s dramatic shoreline. You’ll cruise by Xlendi Bay, Marsalforn Bay, the striking Ħalfa Rock, Santa Maria Bay and its caves, and the impressive Elephant Head rock formation. (2h 0min)
  4. To top it all off, you’ll enjoy a bonus swim stop at one of Comino’s famous lagoons—either the Crystal Lagoon or the Blue Lagoon, depending on sea conditions. (1h 0min)
