1.Malta Parasailing Adventure with Photos

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 548 reviews · 1 hour · from $65Our pick

Hop on a St Julian’s speedboat, get geared up, and fly 10 minutes over St George’s Bay in a small group. Photos included.

“Boat trip was undersold- so much fun as it went so fast. Parasailing itself was really good- beautiful sights even though it was a little cloudy (rude!) also playing music was a nice touch as you watched others parasail. Couple of things; on the boat we weren’t given any instructions on how to land so that felt uncomfortable and we did get quite wet when it said we wouldn’t- worth taking spare clothing or wearing your bikini underneath (which we did anyway but another couple hadn’t). The two guys didn’t really tell you anything about it, which if you haven’t done it before, might not be ideal. Activity was shorter…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 166 reviews · 2.5 - 4.5 hours · from $53

Speedboat to Comino’s Blue Lagoon from St. Julian’s, with free time for swimming and walking, plus Comino Sea Caves on the return.

“The speedboat transfer was fast and comfortable, offering fantastic views along the way. The driver was attentive, played music, and gave a brief but interesting history of the spots we passed. On the return trip, he provided life jackets, which were essential as the waves became quite rough. The visit to the Caves and Comino Island/Blue Lagoon was truly memorable—the water shimmered in beautiful shades of blue and green and was crystal clear. While the Blue Lagoon was very busy, we managed to rent deck chairs and still enjoyed an excellent time. There was a wide variety of food and drinks available at reasonable prices, and most vendors, including the…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 122 reviews · 6 hours · from $77

Powerboat day trip from St Julian’s to Gozo, Comino’s Blue Lagoon, and Comino Sea Caves, with swim time and 4:30 return.

“So much fun. The powerboat was ace. Enjoyed are time in Gozo, went and hired quad bikes as not much to do on the port. Could have done with an extra hour at Gozo as we had to rush back and the sight seeing buses wouldn’t have got us back in time. Plenty of time at the blue lagoon. Loved that. Great getting right in the caves with the boat after. Fun ride back to the harbour. The captain was really great. My only small annoyance was the reception gave us the wrong band and we would have missed out on our trip to Gozo if we didn’t speak up.…”

9.Comino and Blue Lagoon Trip by Powerboat

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 31 reviews · 6 hours · from $65

Fast powerboat to Comino’s Blue Lagoon from St. Julian’s, free time on Comino, sea caves on return, plus a key May 2025 access pass rule.

“There were practically no safety precautions during the trip—no life jackets, we were told it was unnecessary. The sea was unquiet, and the boat was bouncing around on the waves, and we only had one handrail to hold on to. I was thrown into the air a couple of times, and the seats were made of hard plastic; the landing back to the seat was rough. Although this was a quick and direct way to get to the Blue Lagoon, we took another boat on the way back. The driver also made some unnecessary maneuvers in front of other boats—if you're not looking for that kind of adrenaline rush, this…”
