08-Hour Self Drive Boat
Tour Overview
A self-drive boat trip to Comino Island is one of the most exciting and flexible ways to explore Malta’s crystal-clear waters at your own pace.
What It’s Like
Instead of joining a crowded tour, you rent a small motorboat and become your own captain (no license required) After a short safety briefing, you set off from places like Ċirkewwa and cruise across the turquoise channel toward Comino.
As you approach, the water shifts to brilliant shades of blue — especially around the famous Blue Lagoon, known for its shallow, transparent water and white sandy seabed.
What You Can Do
Explore Hidden Coves
Navigate around Comino’s coastline to discover sea caves, secluded bays, and quiet swimming spots that large tour boats can’t reach.
Swim & Snorkel
Drop anchor in calm waters and jump straight in. The Blue Lagoon and nearby Crystal Lagoon are perfect for snorkeling.
Sightseeing
Cruise past landmarks like Santa Marija Caves and the historic St. Mary's Tower, which sits high above the island.
Relax at Your Own Pace
Stay as long as you like at each stop — no fixed schedule.
