Comino Boat Trip and Cultural Trail

Please Note: This event is Fully Booked

A hideout for a persecuted hermit on the run, a lair for corsairs and smugglers, and a resting and nesting spot for migrating birds, the rugged and windswept isle of Comino is a fascinating place to explore in spring.

On Sunday, 28th April 2024, Heritage Malta invites you to join its expert crew and explore the sea-sprayed secrets of this neighbouring magical island, in a day of discovery and fun for all the family.

Learn about the flora and fauna of this picturesque isle, whilst visiting numerous archaeological and historical sites steeped in heritage. Our knowledgeable guide will share curious anecdotes about the island’s past as you walk past the charming Santa Marija Bay Chapel, the commanding Santa Marija Battery and the Redoubt that overlooks the Malta Channel, the iconic Santa Marija Tower, the old bakery, and the historic Lazaretto or quarantine hospital.

But that’s not all! After an exhilarating tour of the island’s hidden gems, you’ll get to bask in the glorious sunshine at the world-famous Blue Lagoon, before heading back to the mainland.
