      Beautiful trip on the water
      A perfect way to see Comino & it’s beautiful views & waters. Our Skipper Buffon was a great tour guide providing many fabulous insights about the coastline & its history. Definitely recommend.

      Book this one…..
      We cannot recommend this trip enough. Ignore the other boat trips being offered and BOOK THIS ONE! The company were fab at communication. They even recommended a taxi guy (Shaun) to get us to the port, he was on time, friendly, and stayed with us to ensure we found the boat! Boat was spotlessly clean. Our skipper Casper was super friendly and couldn’t have been more helpful. He even provided on board babysitting for my 3 year old whilst the rest of us snorkelled!! He helped us all in and out of the water. Top guy. Thanks so much!!

      Amazing experience
      Trip was amazing and well worth it as you go to spots other bigger boats can’t access. Justin also brought great energy and we felt really at home. Thank you!

      This is top of my Must Do in Malta list!
      This trip was a vacation highlight! The places we got to see were gorgeous and the blue of the water looked unreal - unlike any I’ve ever seen before. The wind stirred up some rough waters and high waves. But there was no slamming down between waves as I would have expected (based on past boat experiences). Instead Mike the boat captain navigated us smoothly & slam-free through very tall waves so that we could see certain sites. He was knowledgeable & fun and made sure that we had a full trip despite the windy weather. Janet & Sam provided timely, helpful information and ensured that we had a great trip. It was a five-star experience & is at the top of my list of Must Do’s in Malta!

      Brilliant boat, brilliant skipper, brilliant service.
      Lovely boat, super helpful, friendly and knowledgeable skipper Upie who helped us find beautiful spots to snorkel away from the blue lagoon crowds. We did another large group cruise to the blue lagoon a few days before that was ok, but loud music and crowds on the boat didn’t make for a great atmospheres! This was a totally different experience and one I would highly recommend. The communication both before and after the trip was also superb. Would 100% recommend and we will be back if we get another chance!

      This is a must do when visiting Gozo!! Best boat tour ever!
      This was the best boot tour ever! Justin is the funniest man on the sea, has good taste in music and took very good care of us during the trip. We saw beautiful caves and the sunset on the water was breath-taking! If you have a few hours to spare, please make sure you contact this company and ask for Janet! She arranged everything perfectly. Thank you so much for this unforgettable day!

      Fantastic experience - highly recommend
      This was one of the best excursions we’ve chosen in our travels. Fantastic communication every step of the way but most outstanding was the care and attention AFTER the trip as they continued to care for our needs and interests. Our guide Bufon was amazing. What a great guy. Patient, informative and friendly. Love that guy. Highly recommend this tour operator. You won’t regret it.

      Perfection
      Worth it!! Our skipper was the amazing Upie, he showed us all the best sites! And his precision yachting skills manoeuvring in and out of little caves and coves. The boat was comfortable and convenient, kots of soft places to sit and sunbathe, snorkel gear, cooler and sun shade, we had a perfect day!

      Although we didn’t go on the private boat trip, our dealings with this company have been totally professional . Great and instant communication and an honest weather report. We decided to cancel because of the rough seas and the team were really helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

      THIS IS A MUST!!!! Favourite thing we did by far!
      This was by far our favourite thing we did on our 2 week trip! The communication was fantastic, our Skipper was nit only incredible as well but we felt safe with his experience in the choppy waters we had that day. The boat was beautiful and clean with ice for drinks we brought with us too. We loved that it was an intimate experience with beautiful photos that didn't have people our crowds of boats around us. We highly recommend!!!!

    Awesome private boat tour!
    Very good communication with Sam the organiser. Very adaptable and clear information.
    The tour was great. Josef our captain is kind, attentive and joyful. He took us to the best places, could adapt also to our requirements, was a good guide by giving nice historical explanations on sites, dived with us to show us the shipwrecks. I really appreciated the joyful mood of Sam and Josef which made our experience way more enjoyable.

    Our group of 6 friends visited Malta last week. We tried a 2-hour private boat tour with an amazing and lovely skipper Josef, who made the trip funny and interesting. Josef was also so kind to recommend us many great places to see in Gozo.

    We enjoyed all the beautiful views from the boat and swimming in the Blue lagoon’s crystal clear sea. We rented snorkeling masks on board (for deposit 10€/pcs) and could refresh ourselves with water too.

    Everyone who is thinking about joining any of the OutdoorExplorers Tours - go for it. It will be an unforgettable experience! 🙂

    Thank you once more for a great trip!

    Me and my partner booked a 3h private boat with the Outdoor Explorers. Before the due date the stuff contacted me to confirm the booking information. All of the team members are extremely friendly and helpful. Not only they tried to make our experience better but also suggested and shared information regarding other places/things to do around Gozo and Malta.

    The boat ride itself was absolutely wonderful. Our tour guide, Josef the captain, was friendly and personalized our experience by stopping at the sites of our interest and spending just enough time to see the sites/caves around. We even got a chance to snorkel on top of the P31 wreck. I only wish we would have booked the boat for longer time😍

    At the end of the tour, Josef introduced us to the local wine that made our anniversary unforgettable! Thank you, captain :)

    I would recommend the private boat ride with the Outdoor Explorers for the fact that it’s a) personalized (the crew will stop and spend time at the places of your interest) and b) private (we took a trip to blue lagoon with my partner afterwards and it was really busy and crowded, felt like a human broth after the lunch).

    Special thank you to Janet and Josef! You made our day unforgettable!

    When planning our trip to Malta, a boat trip was at the very top of our list. At first we thought about the large tour boats that you can buy tickets for but didn't like the idea of being on a crowded boat with lots of other people. We came across this tour by chance and I am so happy we did because it was one of the best experiences we had on our trip!
    You get your own private boat and captain which takes away all the worry of crowds and not having enough space. Our captain was absolutely lovely and so accommodating to us and even provided us with snorkel gear and life jackets while we were swimming in the Blue Lagoon. Your trip lasts for roughly 2 hours, your first stop is at the Blue Lagoon where you are allowed off the boat to swim around and explore for about 1 hour. This was unforgettable as the scenery is gorgeous and perfect for a swim on a hot day! A tip if you plan to swim over to the caves to explore - watch out for the jagged rocks underwater the further in you go, they're very sharp (learned that the hard way!)
    After the Blue Lagoon, the captain will take you around to see some of the amazing caves and locations where certain movies have been filmed! We then headed to the Crystal Lagoon , which in my opinion is even more beautiful than the Blue Lagoon! The water is so clear and it is not as busy here. We were also allowed to get off the boat at this location for a quick swim which was amazing!
    All in all, I cant recommend this tour enough, it is well worth the money for such a personal experience with such a lovely captain and I will be recommending it to anyone heading to Malta from now on!

    Had a wonderful 3 hour private tour to Comino and Gozo with Captain Jolene (who I suspect was basically born on the water). We have 11, 12 and 15 year old boys and everyone had a brilliant time snorkelling and sightseeing. It’s such good value as you’re able to set your own itinerary and pace, but with plenty of guidance and suggestions if required.

    Be aware that there is a €79 fuel charge on top of the price. It’s clearly mentioned in the inclusions/exclusions but I managed to miss it and was surprised when I had my booking confirmation through. I was offered a refund with no issues, but it was my error so we went ahead - and I’m delighted that we did!

    We booked it as a birthday gift and were surprised by how much they exceeded our expectations.
    The communication was very easy and nice, even when we had to change days due to bad weather. Our skipper would clean rubbish out of the ocean when we were swimming or walking on islands, he really was the best.
    The best is that, since it’s only you and the skipper (Justin) on the boat, you can individually adjust the tour, which we did to avoid tourists at the Blue Lagoon :).

    Hopefully we see again!

    This experience was the absolute highlight of our trip - we took this boat as a single couple only and we are so glad we did. We saw all the most beautiful parts of Comino, away from the hordes of other tourists. Our skipper Josef was a consummate professional and his demeanour and commentary really made the trip for us. We love you Josef! If you are thinking of a boat tour of Comino then I highly recommend this one - worth every penny. Memories for life, thank you!

    Great boat tour with Mahmoud, our skipper. He shared island stories, took us into caves, and found ideal photo spots, capturing some really good shots of us. Mahmoud lured fish close with bread for snorkelling and allowed plenty of time for swimming. He was there when needed but seemed to vanish at times, giving us the sense of a private journey. Highly recommended.
    We went at a quieter time of year, I imagine in busier seasons it is even better value as you can get a section of the sea to yourselves.

    Thank you so much, Charles, for this wonderful review of your boat trip with Captain Mahmoud! 🚤🌊 It's fantastic to hear that your skipper made the experience memorable by sharing island stories, taking you into Popeye cave, Lovers cave and other caves of Comino Island, and finding ideal photo spots to capture your moments. Happy to hear Mahmoud's ability to be there when needed but also create moments of privacy for you added to the charm of the boat trip. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated, and you've made an excellent point about visiting during quieter times for an even more exclusive experience. Thank you again, Charles, for choosing Outdoor Explorers Malta for your charter to Comino island and Gozo. We can't wait to welcome you back for more memorable journeys in the future! 📸🌟🏊‍♂️

    What an amazing experience! We only booked the trip on Tuesday night and was on the boat Wednesday afternoon after receiving full information and exact details regarding meeting our skipper and details of what to bring and what to expect.

    Our skipper was Pedro and what an absolute star he was! I was a bit nervous as it was quite windy but he steered the boat so carefully to avoid the swells and parked the boat in the bays in areas away from other boats but in calmer water.

    He was clearly an experienced skipper and was calm and professional throughout the afternoon. He was informative about the caves and lagoons, played great music and offered us towels and water so a real personal experience.

    The lagoons were heaving with people from the big boat tours but Pedro parked away from everyone else and so it felt like we were the only people there.

    He fed the fish so we could see them whilst snorkelling and this was incredible - I’ve never seen anything like it before and it was unforgettable.

    I thoroughly recommend booking a private boat trip with this company.

    Mahmoud, the captain was knowledgable and very friendly. He contacted us to let us know where he was docked and we left the harbour a little early. Visited all of the spots advertised and he took a lovely photo for us.
    The crystal lagoon was very busy with boats and did not feel very safe. The Blue lagoon is beautiful and does have an area cordoned off for safe swimming. We enjoyed our trip but the crowds meant it was not quite the amazing experience others report. I’m sure it would be very special early in the morning, before the crowds arrive.
    Also the cost advertised does not include payment for fuel which is payable after the trip and added another €79.
    Not sure I’d go again but glad we did the trip

    Hi Colette, its Janet Thank you for your message, and glad to read you have a lovely picture to treasure from the trip taken by our skipper Mahmoud. In mid August on Saturday afternoon, it does get busy. Early morning 8 am you would get the blue lagoon almost to yourself, however, the water is most blue later on when the sun is higher. We always recommend, if you can, to book for a weekday. Your booking was on a Saturday afternoon and that gets busier. I am sorry to hear the fuel charge surprised you after you booked, we are available for a chat if you have any questions. We try to make it as clear as possible, having it listed in the exclusions of the highlights tour you booked, in the description, and in your booking ticket. If you have any questions, please let us know, me (Janet) or my husband (Sam) are happy to help :) You can call or message us +35699741674
