“It was a nice get away from the mainland. Upon arriving at Comino/Blue Lagoon it’s a beautiful sight, the pictures just don’t do it justice . There’s a few good and drink stands, Toilets (clean I must say as they have someone monitoring the toilets) /Shower (to rinse off ) and lockers (at a price) to Store your belongings if you don’t want to keep on your persons. You can do Banana Boat, Parasail and swim over to another mini island at the Blue Lagoon.

“There were practically no safety precautions during the trip—no life jackets, we were told it was unnecessary. The sea was unquiet, and the boat was bouncing around on the waves, and we only had one handrail to hold on to. I was thrown into the air a couple of times, and the seats were made of hard plastic; the landing back to the seat was rough. Although this was a quick and direct way to get to the Blue Lagoon, we took another boat on the way back. The driver also made some unnecessary maneuvers in front of other boats—if you're not looking for that kind of adrenaline rush, this…”
