Meeting Point
Mgarr Harbour, Gozo or Cirkewwa, Malta
Mgarr Harbour in Gozo or Cirkewwa in Malta
The skipper of the boat will be waiting for you at the agreed spot. Mgarr Harbour in Gozo or Cirkewwa in Malta, depending on where you will be staying.
Pass by the Santa Marija Battery
Facing the South Comino Channel, this is a small fortification built in 1715. It is one of only three batteries on the Maltese islands.In 1993 the battery was in a state of total disrepair but was partly restored in 1996 with original cannons still in place.
Pass by the Elephant Rock and Comino Caves
The famous Elephant Rock, features in the 2002 movie 'The Count of Monte Cristo. In the movie, it is used as one of the clues on the map to get to the hidden treasure.
We also pass by thee natural caves which used to be the hiding place for pirates, waiting for the Gozo cargo boats sailing to Valletta fully loaded with food for sale in Malta.
Santa Marija Bay
Boat drops anchor at Santa Marija Bay. Quieter than its popular neighbour Blue Lagoon, Santa Maria Bay is a small tranquil sandy beach with shallow clear waters. Here you are served some Gozo Cheese and biscuits to be washed down with chilled Gozo Wine. You also have time to get off the boat to go for a swim.
Blue Lagoon
Comino’s biggest draw is the Blue Lagoon, a sheltered cove between the western end of the island and the uninhabited islet of Cominotto (Kemmunett in Malti). It’s incredibly beautiful and inviting, with a white-sand seabed and clear waters. The blue is so intense it’s as if you’ve stepped into an over-saturated postcard. The southern end of the lagoon is roped off to keep boats out; there is top-notch swimming and snorkelling here, plus you can swim over to Cominotto.
Comino’s Blue Lagoon with its dazzling blue waters and limestone backdrop features in the scene between Achilles and his sea nymph mother Thetis in the big-budget 2004 movie ‘Troy’ .The fluorescent waters also appear for a diving scene in ‘Swept Away’ (2002) featuring Madonna, in her attempt to become a cinematic icon, and host a spearfishing scene in the 2003 miniseries ‘Helen of Troy’ based upon Homer’s story of the Trojan War.
Crystal Lagoon and Santa Marija Tower
Surrounded by rocky steep shores, Crystal Lagoon is located off the coast of Comino Island and is only accessible by boat. With unbelievably crystal clear water of intense blue colour, it is perfect for swimming or to spend a relaxing day at anchor. Also a very popular dive and snorkel site as one can even swim inside the caves. Here the table will be set up and dinner is served.
From here we will also go into the cave below the Santa Marija Tower of Comino. In the 2002 movie adaptation of 'The Count of Monte Cristo, the Santa Marija Tower takes centre stage doubling as the exterior of the French prison fortress Château d’If.
Leave towards the sunset
Just a little before sunset, we will cruise out of the island to watch the sun setting on the beautiful horizon creating incredible colours that only sunsets at sea can offer.
