Joyride Watersports Gozo — Blue Lagoon trips from Gozo & Malta

If you're planning a trip to Blue Lagoon on Comino and you're based on Gozo — or even on Malta — Joyride Watersports is the only operator that picks you up from both sides: Hondoq Bay in Qala (Gozo) and Ċirkewwa on the northern tip of Malta. No need to catch an extra ferry, no complicated logistics. Board from wherever you are.

From Malta: Joyride collects passengers from Ċirkewwa — the northern Malta ferry terminal. It's just a 20-minute boat ride to Comino from here. Bus routes 41/42 from Valletta (~1h 20 min) or taxi from St. Julian's (~40 min).

Practical tips

• Arrive 15 minutes before departure; Joyride runs on time
• Bring water, sunscreen and sunglasses — the sun on the water is intense even on overcast days
• Children are very welcome; life jackets in all sizes are on board
• Ask about group packages and seasonal deals directly via WhatsApp — Jonathan and Shanna respond quickly

Blue Lagoon without the crowds — Joyride's secret

Blue Lagoon is one of the most beautiful spots in the entire Mediterranean — and in peak season, one of the busiest. Joyride schedules departures to arrive early in the morning, before the large passenger ferries from Malta fill the beach with hundreds of day-trippers. Early risers get Comino almost to themselves, with water the colour of topaz and cliffs gleaming in the morning sun.
