Speed and sea caves in one trip. This Comino Blue Lagoon powerboat tour is built for people who want motion, not just a slow ferry—expect a fast glide out of Sliema, then real time in the water on Comino. I like the combination of 4 hours at the Blue Lagoon (so you’re not rushed) and the included Comino Sea Caves cruise for photos from the boat.

One thing to weigh: the sea can be rough, and in at least one bad experience, the return ride wasn’t the same powerboat experience due to conditions. The tour also has real-world issues to consider—crowding at drop-off and communication hiccups show up in the feedback I saw.

Key things to know before you go

• Pickup options: you can meet at Sliema Ferry or use pickup from central Sliema, Valletta, Bugibba, and select resorts
• Fast, sporty transport: a 20-seater powerboat (33 ft / 10 m) with twin Yamaha 300hp engines
• Real free time on Comino: about four hours to swim, snorkel, sunbathe, and explore nearby coves
• Sea-cave cruise included: you cruise into and around Comino’s grottoes and arches for boat-side photos
• Small group size: capped at 22 travelers, which helps more than you’d think at a busy lagoon
• Weather matters: the tour requires good weather, with alternatives or refund if it’s canceled for poor conditions

From Sliema Ferry To a High-Speed Malta Coast View

The day starts at 11:00 am at Sliema Ferry (or you can use pickup from central Sliema, Valletta, Bugibba, and select resorts). This is one of those tours where you get to choose: either you’re the kind of traveler who likes to show up, find the pier, and roll— or you let the operator handle pickup so you can focus on the water day ahead.

Then comes the main event: the transfer in a sleek powerboat. You sit in a 20-seater boat measuring 33 feet (10 meters), powered by twin Yamaha 300hp engines, built by Chaudron, a Malta-based boat builder. After a safety briefing, you’ll look out over the water and glide toward open sea. If you like views with a little adrenaline, you’ll appreciate how the boat bounces and sprays rather than just drifting along.

Practical note: this ride is part of the experience, but that also means you should plan like it’s a powerboat day, not a calm sightseeing day. If you’re sensitive to motion, consider that before you pick this tour.

Comino Blue Lagoon: 4 Hours to Swim, Snorkel, and Choose Your Spot

Once you reach Comino, your time shifts from “ride” to “play.” The Blue Lagoon is a sheltered inlet with turquoise shallows framed by rocks and sand. The tour gives you about four hours there, and that matters. Many boat trips treat lagoon time like a quick photo stop. Here, you get enough hours to actually swim, float, and adjust to what the water feels like.

What you can do during those four hours is intentionally flexible:

• swim and snorkel in the clear shallows
• sunbathe at your own pace
• explore nearby coves

That independent time is a big reason this tour works. You’re not forced into a scripted routine, so you can match the day to your mood—chill and swim, or move around and hunt for slightly quieter edges.

Now, the reality check: the lagoon can feel crowded. One person described the Blue Lagoon as very crowded, and another noted they felt a little lost when they were dropped off. You can prevent that stress by doing two things:

1) keep your eyes on the meeting instructions you get before you leave the boat

2) pick your return-time spot early, not at the last minute

You’ll enjoy the lagoon more if you treat it like a beach day with a mission: swim first, then settle in.

The Comino Sea Caves Cruise: Getting Photos From the Boat

The tour isn’t only about the lagoon. During your visit, you also get a boat trip along Comino’s coast for the sea caves. The route goes into and around natural grottoes and arches, and you’ll have chances for photos from the water.

Why this part is worth it: cave scenery is hard to appreciate from shore, because angles and sightlines matter. Being on the boat gives you perspectives you’d struggle to recreate with a walk and a phone. Even if you don’t care about photography, you’ll still get that “how did they even carve this?” effect when you see the rock openings close up.

If you like variety, this is your second highlight after the lagoon. If you’re only interested in swimming, you can still treat the cave cruise as a scenic bonus, not an extra chore.

The Return Ride to Sliema (And Why Conditions Can Change Everything)

After Comino, you head back to Sliema. In normal conditions, the plan is a round-trip powerboat experience, and the tour ends back at the meeting point. If you used pickup, there can also be a return transfer to your original pickup spot (if you wish).

Here’s where you should be honest with yourself about expectations. The tour requires good weather, and sea conditions affect how smooth the ride feels. In the feedback I saw, there was at least one rough experience where the return wasn’t done on the same powerboat as the morning trip. The reason given was bad seas, and the person described limited movement on the substitute boat and said they weren’t told this would happen.

That doesn’t mean it will happen to you. But it does mean you should go in prepared for a weather-adjusted plan, especially if you’re traveling when winds are unpredictable.

A simple strategy: if you know you’re booking on a day that looks choppy, mentally label this as a “powerboat day,” not a guaranteed gentle ride.

Price and Value: Is $60.15 Worth It?

At $60.15 per person, the big question is what you’re paying for beyond the view.

Here’s the value math that actually matters:

• 6 hours approx. of boat time, not just a quick stop
• round-trip powerboat ride between Sliema and Comino
• pickup and drop-off service from Valletta, Bugibba, and select resorts (plus meeting point at Sliema Ferry)
• Comino Sea Caves cruise included
• local taxes included

What’s not included is also clear: food and drinks. That means you should budget for water and snacks on your own. Don’t wait until you’re on Comino to remember you’re hungry.

For many people, the value comes from the mix: fast transit plus meaningful time on the lagoon plus the caves cruise. If you’d otherwise need separate transport or a different tour just to reach caves, this bundled format can feel like a fair deal.

If you’re the type who hates crowds and chaos, then the value depends on your tolerance for busy lagoon conditions. Crowding wasn’t a deal-breaker for everyone, but it did show up in the feedback.

Comfort, Fitness, and the Real Limits of a Powerboat Day

This tour calls for moderate physical fitness. You’ll be on and off boats and spending time in and around water. If you’re generally healthy and comfortable with changing motion, you’ll likely be fine.

The more targeted comfort issue is back sensitivity. One feedback item included a practical warning: the person sat toward the front and had strong muscle pain afterward. That’s not “doom and gloom,” but it is useful information. If your back is sensitive to bumps, consider asking where you’ll likely sit, and be ready for vibration.

Also, this is not a “sit and read a book” day. It’s active, fast, and ocean-based. Bring what you need to enjoy being jostled.

Tips That Make This Tour Go Smoothly

These are small moves that reduce stress on a trip like this:

• Show up early at Sliema Ferry. With boat boarding, timing matters.
• Confirm pickup details before the day. One piece of feedback complained about lack of response to email and a wrong pickup time that was later corrected.
• Carry essentials you’ll need on Comino. The tour doesn’t include food or drinks, so bring water and plan for snacks.
• Make a Blue Lagoon “return plan.” Pick where you’ll regroup based on the instructions you get at drop-off. Feeling disoriented at the lagoon is easy when you’re looking at so much water.
• Think about wind and return comfort. One person suggested choosing a day with less wind so the return can stay a powerboat experience rather than shifting to a slower boat. You might not control the forecast, but you can control your expectations.

And one more caution based on a severe report I saw: there was an account of overbooking where the group didn’t get onto the boat and money wasn’t returned. I can’t predict what happens on your sailing, but it’s a reason to arrive early and keep your booking confirmation handy.

Who Should Book This Tour (And Who Should Skip It)

This tour fits best if you want:

• speed and sea-cave scenery in the same half-day
• a real swim window (four hours is solid)
• an easy setup with pickup from multiple areas and a small group cap

It’s also a good choice if you like doing things at your own pace while still benefiting from guided boat transport.

You should think twice if:

• you have significant back problems or dislike bumpy rides
• you’re trying to protect a tightly scheduled itinerary that can’t handle weather-driven changes
• you strongly prefer calm, quiet beach time and are easily bothered by crowds

If you’re flexible and want a classic Comino day with action, this tour is in the right lane.

Should You Book Powerboat Comino Blue Lagoon by Supreme Travel Ltd?

My honest take: I’d book this if what you want most is a fast powerboat to Comino, a serious lagoon swim window, and the included sea caves cruise. The best parts are the ride itself, the time on the water, and the chance to see caves from the boat rather than just from a distance.

But I’d also go in smart. Two issues can shape your day: communication/pickup smoothness and weather/sea conditions on the return. Add the possibility of crowding at the lagoon, and you’ll get a more accurate picture.

If you do book, I’d recommend:

• travel with a bit of buffer for pickup timing
• keep your ticket accessible on your phone
• plan to bring water and snacks since food isn’t included
• check the forecast and remember the tour depends on good weather

If you’re okay with a sporty ocean day and want maximum time on Comino’s water, this is a good value way to do it.
