Hera Round Malta & Comino Blue Lagoon

Highlights

Inclusions

Itinerary

1. Experience Malta differently as we cruise 360 degrees on our Turkish Gulet whilst enjoying stunning and spectacular scenery. We depart from Sliema Ferries at 0930hrs and cruise close to shoreline catching glimpse of various villages and attractions that dot the coastline such as the famous and majestic Dingli Cliffs, and the many beautiful sandy beaches located in this part of Malta. The first swim stop of the cruise is at the unique Fomm il-Rih. Then we cruise to Comino Island and the Blue Lagoon, berth ‘stern to’ and spend time at leisure for swimming. Island which is still untouched in its beauty and nature. On the way back to Sliema Ferries we cruise via Mellieha Bay, St. Pauls Islands,the resort of Qawra, St. Julians and finally Sliema arriving at 18:00hrs.

• 4It was OK

  There wasn't enough seating (we had to sit on the floor). When we docked at the Comino Blue Lagoon and walked off the boat, it was somewhat unsafe to walk around on the land due to the very unstable terrain. However, overall, the trip was good; the staff were friendly, and the food was plentiful and of good quality.

• 2Turbulent and disappointing boating experience.

  We were advised to use Hera for our boat trip by our holiday rep, as supposedly they didn't overload the boat with passengers. However, this was not the case as the boat was still overcrowded and it was difficult to find decent / comfortable seats on deck. Despite, having good weather throughout the whole of the trip. The sea water was still very choppy and the whole of the journey was turbulent, which made me feel unsafe and scared. Also, due to how rough the trip was I felt sea sick for the whole day and I did vomit on a couple of occasions, which ruined the trip experience for me. The only good thing about the trip was swimming in the lovely clear waters at the blue lagoon and the audio tape which provided interesting facts about different areas around Malta. I recommend that anyone who wants to visit the blue lagoon should research all the different travel options before booking a trip there, even if this means booking a private tour.

• 5Great trip around Malta

  We took this cruise as it offered to go all around Malta and not just Blue Lagoon . The team on the boat were great. Food was good. There were definitely enough seats on the boat. I think the ones just to Comino & blue lagoon are always busy during the peak times. We ended up sitting in the sun too much and even factor 50 didn’t protect us, so if I did again we would take SPF tops and hats.

• 5Fantastic Day Out

  This was a trip worth every cent. Maximum of 60 people on the very large Gulet. For 60 euros you get unlimited tea, coffee, soft drinks and beer or wine with lunch which was very nice. The vibe on the boat was great, music playing 60s, 70, 80s and 90s and just at the right volume. Staff were excellent. Our trip was all round the island stopping for swim breaks and 2 hrs at Blue Lagoon on Comino island. I would seriously recommend this trip. 5 star from me. Enjoy

• 1Terrible seating

  Terrible time. They don’t have enough seats for the amount of people that they book. Old people had to sit on the floor while young adults laid out and stretched their legs on the seats they claimed. The staff was nice but sad to see they didn’t help the elderly on the boat get seats. Being on the floor for 9 hours was not fun and I wouldn’t recommend this trip to anyone.

About Mellieħa

Mellieħa is a hillside village at the north-western end of Malta, above one of the island's longest sandy beaches, with sea views towards Gozo.

Mellieħa stands on a ridge at the north-western end of Malta, the last sizeable village before the ferry crossing to Gozo. Close to its parish church, a sanctuary to the Virgin Mary that began as a natural cave has drawn pilgrims for centuries, and the Red Tower, a seventeenth-century watchtower, stands on a nearby hill. At the foot of the ridge, Għadira Bay curves around a wide, shallow beach, one of the longest on the island.
