The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
In port at Comino, the bucket-list move is Private Skipper Charter: Blue & Crystal Lagoon at Dawn. Below: 2 bucket-list things to do on a Comino port day — worth weighing against whatever your ship offers.
Beat the day-tripper flotilla with a private boat to the Blue Lagoon at first light, when the water is glassy and empty. Swim, snorkel and drift into Crystal Lagoon and the sea caves before the crowds arrive.
Book itComino: Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon and Sea Caves$40 per person
Walk the island's rugged interior — salt pans, wildflowers, the 17th-century watchtower — where almost no cruise visitor ever sets foot. This is Comino as locals and hikers know it, not the lagoon postcard.

A small-group (not private, but capped) boat trip that slips past the Blue Lagoon crowds to explore Comino's lesser-seen sea caves and coves by kayak and snorkel.
Book itMalta: Comino Catamaran Cruise with Blue & Crystal Lagoon$29 per person

A one-on-one or small private snorkel excursion led by a marine guide into Comino's underwater cave systems and seagrass meadows, spotting fish and octopus rarely seen from a beach towel.

Pair Comino's lagoon morning with a private afternoon in Gozo — the Citadel in Victoria, a quiet village lunch, and countryside views that show the real, slower pace of the Maltese islands.
