  • Swimming Stops: Most tours drop anchor in sheltered, crystal-clear bays perfect for swimming and snorkeling away from the crowds.

Frequently asked questions

Answers for travellers planning a trip to Malta.

Can you visit Gozo and Comino in one day?

Yes. Full-day cruises combine a swim stop at the Blue Lagoon with time ashore in Gozo. It is a long day, so expect a highlights visit rather than a slow exploration of either island.

How long is the ferry crossing to Gozo?

The Ċirkewwa to Mġarr ferry takes about 25 minutes. Organised day trips include the crossing and the transport at both ends, so there is no waiting for a bus in Gozo.

What is there to see in Gozo in one day?

A typical day covers Victoria and its Citadel, the basilica of Ta’ Pinu, the seaside village of Xlendi and the cliffs at Dwejra. Tours with more time often add the Ġgantija temples.
