The 15 Best Sliema & St Julian’s Tours

44 reviewed

The coastal strip is where Malta swims, dines and sets sail: the Sliema seafront, Balluta Bay, the boats at Spinola and the late nights of Paceville. Plenty of island and Blue Lagoon cruises cast off from these quays too. Here is what leaves from the coast, priced and timed, so you can book from your doorstep.

1.From Sliema: Comino, Crystal Lagoon, and Blue Lagoon Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3,792 reviews · from $40Our pick

From Sliema, cruise to Gozo and Comino for two swim stops, a waterslide ride, and famous sea-cave scenery, plus Blue Lagoon time.

“We had such a fun day on this boat cruise. The guides were lovely and enthusiastic. There is food and drink available to buy on the cruise ship which is priced very reasonably. The slide attached to the boat was also great fun to use and they have snorkels that you can hire. I would highly recommend staying on the boat and not doing the stop on Gozo, unless you want to see the island (we did that on a separate day). Then you can have much longer swimming and taking in the beauty of the blue lagoon. There is lots to see and do at the blue lagoon with…”

Sliema powerboat to Comino Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon, Gozo and caves. Multiple swims, snorkeling masks, shade, and great guiding.

“Really good value for money, a good amount of time spent at each location. Really helpful guides. The only thing I would change is the amount of people on each tour as there was about 40 on our trip and it would have been a bit better with maybe 10 less. Everything else was really great and we had an amazing day!”

15.Sliema: Gozo/Comino Blue Lagoon Gulet Cruise w/ Lunch+Drinks

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 505 reviews · from $84

Sliema-to-Gozo-and-Comino Turkish gullet cruise with two swim stops, buffet lunch, unlimited drinks, and Blue Lagoon access pass planning.

“This boat trip was absolutely one of the highlights of our vacation. The crew is super friendly and the vibe on board was great! In the beginning on might feel a bit funny about being huddled up with a group of strangers on the boat, but as soon as you see the blue lagoon and get into the vibe, it will be the greatest day! Everybody can go on this trip, but it was “luckily for us” for a bit of a younger crowd with fairly loud music and such. Absolutely ace, we loved it!”
