Established as one of the most popular spots for snorkeling and diving, this lagoon covers an area of approximately 10 acres, with depths ranging from 2 to 6 meters. The water is known for its striking turquoise color due to shallow depth and clear visibility.

Explore Elephant’s Head and Aħrax Cave

Your tour takes you past two distinctive coastal landmarks: Elephant’s Head and Aħrax Cave. Both are part of Comino’s rugged coastline, offering a dramatic contrast to the serene Blue Lagoon. Elephant’s Head is named for its resemblance to an elephant's head when viewed from certain angles, and it stands at approximately 30 meters high with cliffs that plunge directly into the sea. Nearby Aħrax Cave, also known as Ramla Bay Cave, features a large opening facing the sea, allowing visitors to see inside this natural formation during low tide. These landmarks are significant not only for their geological uniqueness but also because they provide insight into Malta's prehistoric past and its impact on local culture. During the cruise, guests have about 30 minutes to admire these formations from the deck or by taking a closer look as the boat passes near them.

Relax in Victoria’s Cittadella

The citadel covers an area of about 2 hectares and is surrounded by massive walls that stand up to 9 meters high in some places, offering protection against invaders throughout history. Inside, you'll find narrow streets lined with traditional Maltese houses, shops selling local crafts and souvenirs, as well as cafes serving delicious Gozitan cuisine. Visitors typically spend around two hours here, wandering through the historic lanes and learning about the town’s rich heritage from informative signs or guided tours available in multiple languages including English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Russian.
