Fun day out, blue lagoon was beautiful - One of the best trips we have experienced in Malta, the blue lagoon was stunning and sliding into the sea was so much fun. I would definitely recommend for a fun day out.

Sailing with Barbarossa: A Blue Lagoon Adventure to Treasure. - We booked with Tripadvisor which is easy & they also gave instructions to book a separate ticket to be able to step foot on Comino the link is also in the email when booking.
The boat itself was brilliant we found we had ample room on the top open deck. We read other reviews about loud music but our trip at 09:00 am was pop music played at a moderate volume we could talk and also hear others.
I think the 09:00 am would be the best time to go as the lagoon fills up pretty quickly after that. We got a good opportunity to swim, snorkel, use the slide & jump off the boat.
You were able to buy beers & soft drinks onboard, there are also toilet facilities available to use on the lower deck.
The middle deck was a covered deck with benches & tables good for family’s with kids.
The captain gave some good information on sight seeing as we were sailing past places like the elephant rock.
Life jackets were available for those that were not confident swimmers so everyone got a chance to get into the wonderful turquoise waters.
Trip not to be missed 10/10

An amazing experience with beautiful views. - Amazing day out, a must do! Get to see lots of beautiful views around the island. Bear in mind that it is €20 for the use of snorkelling equipment yet booking.com listed it as included use. Get lots of time to stop off and swim as well as take pictures or walk around the island. Overall, an amazing experience and a great crew. Well worth the money.

Regular information and communication. - It is not clear what the route of the boat is, stops in Gozo but you can not get off to land, lack of communication between the crew and the passengers, who keep you waiting on the high seas, unsteadily and with disco music while a few go to the caves paying an extra is quite bizarre.

Csnceled - The tour was canceled due to bad weather. We would have liked more then 1 hour notice as we paid for Bolt & when we were notified we were already on our way as the boat was on the other side of the island. The first page of the review should have something in case it was canceled, like it was for us. I cannotbq actually rate if we did not have the event.

Wouldn't bother again - try another company - When we booked the trip, it's wasn't made clear that we needed to buy a separate ticket to visit the Crystal caves in the speedboat, some people bought tickets from the Crew but I feel like this really should have been included in the trip that we'd already paid for. It was also not made clear that whilst it advertises snorkelling in the blue lagoon, you have to provide your own snorkelling equipment or rent it off the crew for €40 deposit. We didn't take that much cash with us as we didn't think we'd need it, therefore no snorkelling for us l. All in all a bit of a let down, hidden charges and unclear advertising.

Avoid - just use main ferries - Sadly, this trip is a waste of money and the experience wasn’t what was advertised at all.
We got on the boat, then headed to Comino for the blue lagoon via the crystal lagoon. This being February it was fairly choppy so we didn’t stop at the crystal lagoon, fair enough.
We got to the blue lagoon and sat on the boat for about 20 minutes whilst they attempted and failed to dock. We then ended up going round to the other side of the island to dock there, which was described as a 15 minute walk away. This docking was not only a long way away from where we wanted to be, it was also incredibly dangerous with a drop of about 2 feet from the boat to the uneven, rocky shore, which wasn’t a proper landing point.
Despite this being advertised as a Comino / Gozo trip, we were then told that we wouldn’t be going to Gozo and that they’d return for us at the blue lagoon in two and a half hours, which is an insanely long amount of time to want to stay at the location - it’s gorgeous, but there’s nothing to actually do there.
Instead of waiting, we just got the Comino ferry to Gozo, explored there for a few hours then head back to Malta on the main ferry, which we wish we’d done straight away.
I’d avoid this and just do it yourself, as it’d be easier and safer.
