The 15 Best Sea Cave Trips in Malta

Low limestone arches only a small hull can get into, and a sea state that decides the morning. The 15 below compare boat size, which caves are on the route and how the operators handle a cancelled swell.

Malta: Gozo & Comino Islands, Blue Lagoon & Seacaves Tour

1.Gozo & Comino Islands, Blue Lagoon & Seacaves Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 15,672 reviews · 7 hours · from $28Our pick

From Bugibba, cruise Malta’s northern coast to Comino’s Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon, sea caves, and Elephant’s Head. Swim, use the boat’s waterslide, then spend three to four hours in Gozo. Add the shuttle to Victoria or, in summer, Ramla Bay. Audio guides come in five languages.

“This is the tour I rave about to everyone that asks me how Malta was. Everything was done so well on this tour. They let us know from the beginning that there would be adjustments due to the weather, as well as at the Blue Lagoon. They made sure we still got the full experience! The bus ride to Victoria was also very well organised and my time there was also very well spent. Would definitely want to do this tour again when swimming is a possibility.”

2.Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon, and Seacaves Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 5,673 reviews · 6 hours · from $35

Spend about six hours aboard a modern catamaran from Bugibba Jetty, stopping at Comino’s Blue Lagoon and, in fair summer weather, Crystal Lagoon. Swim from the ladders, ride the waterslide, watch through underwater windows, and cruise past Santa Maria Caves. Food, drinks, and optional speedboat cave trips cost extra.

“The best part is being able to be on a comfortable boat with lounge chairs to nap and soak up some sun in between stops. It’s quite amazing and this boat looked much much better and relaxing than the others moored in the stops. I’d highly recommend this for a day out in Malta. The only other recommendation I’d make is to take a smaller boat for the whole day that is able to get into the smaller cave areas, but you’ll be exchanging the comfort you’d have for 6 hours of the day. Thanks for the great experience!”

“The staff were very friendly. Timing was great, left on time The stop at the Blue Lagoon was perfect, could stay on the boat or visit the island. The slide was fun and the steps were easy to get out the sea. I would suggest sitting on the left hand side, this is the side the island is on as u sail past.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,923 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $36

Cruise from St. Paul’s Bay to Comino and Gozo aboard Hornblower Cruises. Swim at the Blue Lagoon, see Malta’s sea caves, use the onboard slide, and choose a €5 shuttle to Victoria. The day lasts about seven hours, with food, drinks, lockers, snorkel gear, and a €15 speedboat cave ride available at extra cost.

“Itinerary runs like clockwork - The area at the blue lagoon was gorgeous and quiet with plenty of time to swim. We added on the €5 pp bus tour for gozo island and it was great! Took us right to the centre, leaving us time to explore. Only issue we had was the lack of seats on the top deck - we arrived nearly an hour before sail and still had to share one between 2 of us.”
