Top 15 Malta Ferry Trips

1.Gozo: Full-Day Quad Tour with Private Round-Trip Boat

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,674 reviews · 6 - 8 hours · from $115Our pick

Ride a quad across Gozo with guides such as Mark, Andrew, Ronnie, or Cedric, stopping at Ramla Bay, saltpans, Ghasri Valley, and Dwejra. Enjoy a three-course lunch, summer swimming, and a 20-minute boat ride past Comino’s Blue Lagoon and caves, weather permitting.

“The Driver was 20mins late to the designated pick up point (annoying) but then we got transported up to the tip of Malta to a "boat" which took us across to Gozo - this part was a little underwhelming. However as soon as we stepped onto the Dock at Gozo, super professional and organized, transport took us to the Quads where we were met by Mark and Dave (our guides) brilliant guys, helpful and made the day fun. Touring round the island on the quads was amazing and we felt perfectly safe. Lunch stop was well organized with great food. Side Boat trip well worth while, Overall Great Adventure Day…”

2.Sliema/St. Paul’s: Gozo, Comino & Blue Lagoon Ferry Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 1,137 reviews · 7 hours - 450 minutes · from $41

Spend seven hours aboard an air-conditioned catamaran from Sliema or St. Paul’s Bay, with free time in Gozo and Comino. Explore Victoria independently, swim at the Blue Lagoon, and add a €15 motorboat trip to the caves if sea conditions allow. No guide is provided.

“This particular “tour” is basically a ferry that takes you to Gozo and drops you off, you walk around for a few hours on your own, then they pick you up and take you to Blue Lagoon. There they help you get a speed boat ride for additional $$, and wait for you while you try to get some beach time. It’s not bad but if the beach is packed (it’s a tiny beach), then it would be better to be on a boat that allows you to sunbathe and jump off while anchored away from the beach. Overall, we liked it, it’s air conditioned and comfortable.”

“Great trip. Our jeep was very crowded with 6 passengers on a very hot day but the guide made it work. Pick up was 10 mins later than scheduled but we had a really good time. The trip seemed good value for money - we felt as though we had explored Gozo well and learned a lot during our tour. Recommend the boat trip in Dwerja! Lunch was lovely too wirh good options for vegans/vegetarians.”

6.Evening Catamaran Ferry Cruise To The Blue Lagoon

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 75 reviews · 5 hours · from $41

Join an English-speaking crew for a five-hour evening catamaran from Sliema to Comino. You get about two hours at the Blue Lagoon for swimming and island time, plus sunset and night views. Bring a towel, snacks, and your government access pass if you plan to go ashore.

“I joined the Evening Catamaran Ferry Cruise to the Blue Lagoon and had an amazing experience. Boarding was smooth, with the only extra step being the new 2025 requirement of obtaining a free pass through a government website. The cruise lasted five hours and included two full hours at the stunning Blue Lagoon on Comino. The water was warm, crystal clear, and perfect for a refreshing swim. A highlight was receiving a complimentary drink token, which I used for a cocktail served in a pineapple. It was a fun touch that made the evening feel extra special. Watching the sunset from the catamaran while others enjoyed the slide from a…”

7.From Sliema or Bugibba: Comino Blue Lagoon Round Trip Ferry

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 59 reviews · 7 hours · from $35

Take a 33-meter catamaran from Sliema or Bugibba to Comino’s Blue Lagoon for roughly seven hours. Choose a morning trip for more time on the island or an afternoon Sliema sailing with sunset views and a free pineapple cocktail for adults.

“El viaje ha sido, en general, muy bueno. El ferry es cómodo (cuenta con aire acondicionado y máquinas expendedoras de snacks y bebidas) y la tripulación fue agradable, respondiendo a todas las dudas que podíamos presentar. Sin embargo, deberían mejorar la etapa previa al embarque, ya que la organización fue bastante mala para la cantidad de gente que contrató el viaje.”

9.From Sliema or Bugibba: Two Islands Ferry to Comino and Gozo

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 38 reviews · 7 hours · from $42

Spend seven hours between Comino and Gozo on a hop-on hop-off catamaran from Sliema or Bugibba. Swim at the Blue Lagoon, visit Gozo at your own pace, and use the included hotel transfer. An English-speaking host is available, but you plan each island stop yourself.

“As advertised, took us from Sliema to Gozo first, where we could decide to get off or stay and go immediately to Comino Blue Lagoon. We got off at the Mgarr port and 3 hours later the ship picked us up and took us to the blue lagoon where we could spend another 3 hours. You have to make your own adventure on Gozo after getting off the ship. There were bus services guys jumping at us to buy their services right as we got off. I can't recommend the hop on hop off bus tour around Gozo if you want to go to the Blue Lagoon later.”

“Absolute shambles. worst HOPO we ve been on. No one co ordinating at disembarkation of ferry. Finally found someone on red bus who checked our ticket via phone & told us to go on green bus. Got on it as instructed by lady outside green bus. Ticket issuer spoke very badly by telling us to get off & go to red bus for assistance. Finally same lady that sent us to green bus accepted our ticket this time. For some reason our paper ticket with QR code was not enough By this time we missed our bus. They got an additional one some 15 min later. The driver drove like…”

11.Blue Lagoon Ferry and Caves Tour

Take a ferry from Mgarr, Gozo, to Comino’s Blue Lagoon, then pass Crystal Lagoon Bay, Window Cave, Crystal Lagoon Cave, and L-Ghar ta’ Bla Saqaf Cave on the return. The $18.04 fare includes luggage storage, but no snacks or onboard restroom.

“While the travel to Comino was good and had good communication from the host prior to departure, we had a terrible experience getting back from the Island. The jetty was packed to an unsafe level with no organisation of who was going where or on what boat. There was a lot of pushing and I thought I was going to fall in to the sea at one point. We were also asked if we wanted to travel back to Malta or Gozo without being told that the Gozo boat was far less frequent and the one boat that did turn up for Gozo became full almost instantly - we were…”

It was a perfect introductory visit to all the highlights of the island. A perfect lunch reservation with an amazing view and food was also much appreciated.”

“L'organisation est plutôt chaotique surtout au départ, trois bateaux sont là, à vous de vous débrouiller pour trouver le gars qui vous donnera le bon bracelet et vous indiquera le bon bateau... Le bus hop on/off : une dizaine d'arrêts mais impossible de les faire tous car il faut attendre 45mn pour le suivant. La circulation à Gozo est catastrophique, le bus doit souvent rouler dans des rues minuscules où il passe tout juste, bravo aux chauffeurs ! 👍 J'ai pu visiter seulement deux endroits, Victoria et Xlendy Bay, le reste du temps je l'ai passé dans le bus. Certains employés sont sympas, d'autres beaucoup moins... Expérience que je ne…”
