Blue Lagoon
From the starting point in Gozo, we then kayak to Comino Island (usually about 20 minutes). Sometimes we do a short paddle along Gozo first if you need a little time to practice!
We have two basic Comino routes, and on the half-day tours we choose one of them. The first option is on the beautiful Blue Lagoon side of Comino.
We spend about 2.5 hours out on the water in total, and in that time, we pass by/enter a number of gorgeous caves, bays and rock formations. It's awesome!
For the break of about 30 minutes, we stop in or nearby the Blue Lagoon. In this time you can swim or relax if you would like. Please note that this is an unguided part of the tour.

We generally start with a short paddle along the Gozo coastline to get comfortable in our kayaks before our journey takes us across the Gozo Channel to Comino! The crossing usually takes about 20min and is approx. 800m at the narrowest point. This is where the adventure really gets started!

Fantastic afternoon great operator!!
stratty, 25-09-2022
Fantastic afternoon! Very professional and friendly team. The equipment was also great. The Gozo inland lake and tunnel location was a lot of fun to explore and the water was crystal clear and clean. Special thanks to the guides who were very safety conscious, informative and fun.
Great kayaking experience of couples/beginners
Elly M, 13-09-2022
Would recommend this tour fully to anyone interested in seeing Gozo/Comino, ideal for beginners like ourselves, neither of us are particularly strong swimmers nor are we great kayak-ers, but it was amazing fun!
Would recommend taking plenty of water, like more than you think! Also suncream, you'll burn! Sunglasses and hats are also a big must.
Rowan was a great tour guide and took some really nice photos of the group which was sent via email a few days later. We swam at this lovely bay with the other kayaking group where you could jump into the coves from the side, snorkle around and see the fish.
Felt incredibly safe the whole time and had a great experience - would recommend! Also Handoq bay is beautiful to chill out there, we took the afternoon space and chilled at the bay for a few hours beforehand and it's very close to the kayaking site with kiosks for drinks/food

An afternoon in Gozo well spent!

Myself and my boyfriend booked this the day before with absolute ease, great communication from the guys @ Kayak Gozo from the start! The afternoon itself was brilliant, group of 5 kayaks with Stu leading us! He was great with loads of interesting information about each site we went to and the surrounding areas in Gozo! Was a brilliant afternoon in the sun, and would 100% recommend :) thank you!
A highlight of our trip
Juliajetsetter, 20-09-2022
What a perfect way to explore Comino and surrounding area. We explored many caves, had a delightful swim and our tour guide Stu shared many interesting facts about the area. A must do activity while in Malta!
A once in a lifetime experience!

One of the most incredible experiences. I am a complete beginner with kayaking and I was pretty scared to do it for the first time. Rowan and the rest of the team made us feel extremely comfortable straight away. It was a once in a lifetime experience seeing the views Gozo and Malta being out in the open sea was absolutely surreal. The pace was great and loves breaks for photo ops. Would recommend to anyone!
AMAZING!

The most perfect day on Gozo Island, kayaking with an intimate group and a lovely instructor (Laurie!). This tour was initially supposed to be around the blue lagoon, but due to winds, it got shifted to the stunning cliffs and caves in the west of Gozo, starting at the Inland Sea and around the Dwejra area. I couldn't be happier that it got shifted because I personally felt kayaking was more worthwhile here and I got to explore things I wouldn't have been able to if it was around the blue lagoon. Nothing against the blue lagoon of course, I went on a cruise the next day there and spent the day swimming there and it was gorgeous, but I would 100% choose kayaking around the cliffs than the blue lagoon because I felt it suited the activity a lot more! The group was quite small which made the experience better because it was a lot more intimate, and I interacted with some lovely people. Laurie was super friendly and informative, and even pointed out some fun, imaginative things in the cliffs. We went through some caves which was great, and when we stopped for swimming, I was in awe of what I could see in the clear, stunning water. Goggles were provided which was the perfect touch to an already amazing experience, as it allowed us to see in the sea whilst we were swimming. As someone that did this solo, I'd recommend it to anyone and for me personally, it was the best activity I could've opted for in Malta as I loved swimming and enjoy being active. All in all, an amazing day with a lovely instructor. Cannot recommend this activity more! The only advice I would give to the staff is for maybe a better camera for pictures to be taken and to make sure the bag it's packed in is properly cleaned after each tour to ensure maximum quality. Still, I loved it :)
A must for anyone who wants a bit of water advantage around Gozo

Great paddle with Laurie who guided us to some beautiful places. The Blue Lagoon was a lovely spot to stop off at for some snorkelling in crystal clear water.
Amazing Customer Service
Mohammed_A, 04-11-2022

An incredibly fun way to explore Gozo and Comino!

A fantastic way to experience the crystal blue waters of Gozo and Comino. From gliding over the open waters, cave visits and snorkelling in a secluded bay, the kayak team are well organised, providing clear instructions and caters for mixed group abilities. Looking forward to a future visit!
