Review of Malta’s Comino cruise to Blue Lagoon and caves, with swimming, snorkeling, a slide, food onboard, prices, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“If you’re after a peaceful and relaxing experience then this trip is probably not for you. The boat was full to bursting with tourists and music was blaring the whole time. The Blue Lagoon is worth a visit for the crystal clear waters but the location is spoiled by the hoards of boats and people.”
