Best way to see Malta!!
4 Hour – PM Escape to Comino on August 16, 20262 adults

We had an absolutely fantastic day exploring Malta, Gozo, and Comino by boat. The experience was one of the highlights of our trip and gave us a completely different perspective of the islands, with stunning coastlines, crystal-clear waters, and beautiful hidden coves. A special mention must go to our skipper, Anton, who was exceptional throughout the day. His knowledge of the islands, local history, and landmarks added so much to the experience, and he was always happy to answer questions and share interesting insights. What we appreciated most was that he took us to several quieter spots away from the crowds, allowing us to enjoy the beauty of the islands in a much more relaxed and authentic way. The boat was comfortable, the itinerary was well-paced, and Anton ensured everyone felt safe and looked after at all times. We couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water and would highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Malta. Thank you, Anton, for making it such a memorable experience!

The Perfect 60th Birthday Cruise—Thank You, Sondre!
7 Hour – Escape To Comino Island on July 25, 20267 adults

We had the best day celebrating my mum's 60th birthday! Our original boat cancelled last minute, but this team completely saved the day. We should have booked with them from the start! Communication with Captain Neal for our last-minute booking was amazing. He was super accommodating and even let us swap dates at the last second due to the weather. The boat itself was lovely, exceptionally clean, well maintained and comfortable. Our skipper, Sondre, was fantastic and super friendly. He customized the route perfectly, blending what we wanted to see with his own expert recommendations for the sea conditions. It was easily the absolute best way to experience the blue lagoon. We can't thank them both enough for making my mum's birthday so incredibly special!

excellent experience and a fun day
4 Hour – PM Escape to Comino on June 7, 20264 adults

we booked a 4 hour afternoon excursion for 4 adults. thoughout the booking and leading up to the trip, Captain Neal was very responsive , and quickly and clearly answered all my many questions. Location to meet our captain for the day (Sondre) was easy to find and he was right on time. he asked what we were looking for in terms of experiences, then guides our day to meet our expectations . the day and experience was amazing. we saw the sea caves and swam in the Crystal Lagoon. we ordered the snacks and it was perfect after our swim . i would definitely use Captain Neal again. the boat was nice for our group of 4. 6 adults would fit comfortably on this boat. we were able to be in the shade at all times if desired. Overall, highly recommend.

Such an amazing day!!
7 Hour – Escape To Comino Island on June 5, 20262 adults

From the moment Sondre met us we had the most amazing time. We left on time, the views, the food and the drinks were all amazing. Seeing Malta from the ocean is the only way to go and worth the splurge! If it matters to you, this is LGBT friendly and my husband and I felt comfortable the whole time. Next time we are in Malta we would not hesitate to book this again!
