Diana75 Says: A boat trip from St Paul's Bay to Comino definitely offers more possibilities to admire Comino's beauty. The boat passes near St Paul's Islands and runs along the rocky cliffs on the eastern side of Comino up to Blue Lagoon.The trip is recommended for an organized group as...
Diana75 Says: To arrive on Comino there are regular ferries from Cirkewwa on Malta and Mgarr on Gozo.A fare takes around 20min and costs around EUR 5-.The stop on Comino is on San Niklaw Bay, at a short distance from the Blue Lagoon.
LotusV8 Says: They try to sell you a boatride to Comino and the Blue Lagoon from most of the harbours around and in Sliema, but it is very expensive and you will not have much time left for Comino after a long boatride. Take a Bus to north of Malta, the harbour with the Gozo Ferry line,...
Elly01 Says: When you go to Comino don;t roam about alone, always go with another person. The place is very safe and there are no dangerous animals however the place is very barron. In Summer it gets very hot and wandering alone on the island is not safe because it will be hard for...
Santa Maria Tower – Brief History

Diana75 Says: Although from the ferry to Gozo, Comino Island doesn't look so near, from the island the ferry passing the channel looks really close and impressive.It's just great to swim in the Blue Lagoon and to see between the cliffs of Cominotto a huge ferry passing.
View of St Paul's Bay from the boat

Leah100 Says: We took a half day kayaking trip from Mgarr Harbour in Gozo to Comino with Rugged Coast Adventures. It was fantastic and I would highly recommend it. You get to see so much more than if you're sat at the Blue Lagoon or whizzing past on a speed boat. We went into some of the...
tophat30 Says: The clear waters around Comino, its interesting seascape, underwater caves and grottoes and a profusion of marine life attracts scuba divers. The submerged coastline of this island is dotted with dark and eerie caves which abound with living marine creatures.The...
Diana75 Says: Cominotto is only 100m away from Comino Island and the crystal clear waters of the Blue Lagoon tempt everyone to swim up to its shores.Although its shore looks like a rocky sponge, on a small spot, where someone also put some umbrellas, you can walk.In case you are not an...
Diana75 Says: The best way to understand the beauty of Comino Island is walking along the coast. The island has far more to offer than the Blue Lagoon, and a day spent around can offer plenty of natural surprises: wild rabbits, rats, snakes, beetles, ants and other animals can be admired...
