Are you waking up in beautiful Mellieha, looking out at the sparkling Mediterranean, and thinking, “I need to get to that crystal-clear water in Comino”? Well, you’re in luck! Staying in Mellieha gives you a fantastic head start on one of Malta’s most breathtaking adventures. Forget long, complicated journeys; getting to the world-famous Blue Lagoon is so simple, you’ll be there before you’ve even finished your morning coffee!

You’ve Picked the Perfect Spot!

Give yourself a pat on the back for choosing Mellieha. You’re already in Malta’s stunning north, which means you are just a stone’s throw away from the ferry terminal. While other tourists are still on a long bus ride from the other end of the island, you’ll be splashing in that turquoise water. More swimming, less traveling—that’s what a holiday is all about!

Your Two-Step Mission to Paradise

Getting from your hotel in Mellieha to the shores of Comino is a simple two-part adventure. It’s so easy, you’ll wonder why you ever worried!

Step 1: The Quick Bus Hop to the Ferry

First things first, you’ll need to get to the Ċirkewwa Ferry Terminal. Don’t worry, it’s a very short and scenic ride from Mellieha! Just head to one of the main bus stops and hop on a bus heading towards Ċirkewwa. The ride is usually less than 15 minutes. It’s the perfect amount of time to get excited, slap on some sunscreen, and maybe enjoy a delicious Maltese pastizzi you grabbed on the way. You’ll see the big ferry terminal clearly—you can’t miss it!

Step 2: The Awesome Ferry Ride to Comino!

This is where the real fun begins! Once you arrive at Ċirkewwa, you’re ready to board the ferry. Feel that sea breeze? That’s the feeling of adventure calling your name! The boat ride over to Comino is quick, but the views are incredible. You’ll cruise past gorgeous sea caves and get your first glimpse of Gozo in the distance. Before you know it, the boat will pull into the most dazzling, unbelievably blue water you have ever seen. Welcome to the Blue Lagoon!

What to Pack for Your Amazing Day Trip

To make your day absolutely perfect, a little planning goes a long way. Think of this as your Blue Lagoon success kit!

• Sunscreen: Seriously, pack extra. The Maltese sun is no joke, and there isn’t a lot of shade on Comino. You don’t want to end the day looking like a tomato!
• A Hat & Sunglasses: Protect your face and eyes while you relax and take in the stunning views.
• Snorkel Gear: The water is unbelievably clear, and exploring beneath the surface is a must-do.
• Waterproof Phone Pouch: You are going to want to take a million photos, even in the water!
• Cash: There are some fun food trucks and kiosks on the island selling cold drinks, snacks, and amazing cocktails served in a pineapple. Don’t miss out!

Getting from Mellieha to Comino is one of the easiest and most rewarding day trips you can take in Malta. The journey is short, simple, and part of the fun. So, what are you waiting for? That crystal-clear water isn’t going to swim in itself!

Booking your ferry in advance is the smartest way to guarantee your spot and skip the queues. Plan your perfect day now.
