Brilliant - Had a brilliant day viewing the entire island from the coast with a couple of super opportunities to swim

The best day of my holiday - The ship sailed under the coast allowing both to enjoy the pristine cliffs of the island, and to see the cities from the sea. Two stops, including one of two hours in the beautiful (and crowded blue lagoon). Good buffet and open bar of precious soft drinks on hot days!

Perfect day out 🌟 5 - Booked with the local agent, brilliant service.
Day of the trip very well organised. Boat was clean and spacious. Excellent instruction, food and drink fantastic.
We cannot fault this excursion. We would definitely book another with them.

Beautiful sunny boat trip - Lovely day trip on the Hera II! Food provided was delicious, the pick up and drop off was super convenient although the drop off took a long time because of traffic in/around Sliema and St Julian's. Crew were friendly and helpful and everything ran like clockwork. The smallest issue was the affiliated powerboat that offered paid trips round the blue lagoon caves blasted their music over the announcement at blue lagoon meaning we didn't hear the instruction for returning to the boat and had to ask crew again before leaving the boat.

Superb schooner trip ⛵️🌊 - What a pleasure to sail along the coast, under the sun, and enjoy a magnificent view of Malta and the sea.
The sun beating down on the skin and the little refreshing sea breeze.
Very good organization of the crew and very professional.
Impeccable service. Unlimited drink and decent cold meal.
We had a great day on board.
Left at 9:30 a.m., returned at 5:40 p.m.
To do 👍🌊⛵️🇲🇹👍

Good price/performance ratio - We were picked up exactly on time. Embarkation took a little while. Although we were quite far back in the queue, we still found a seat. The captain's announcements were easy to understand. The female voice on tape with information was a little less so. Although we had a dream day, the sea was a little rough and rocking (paper bags were handed out :-)). It can get a little chilly towards the evening, so jackets are recommended. The food was unexpectedly good. Sandwiches in the morning, a nice buffet with a variety of dishes at lunch and melon in the afternoon. Drinks free of charge as advertised. Stay in the Blue Lagoon (including lunch) 2 3/4 hours. Boat crew very friendly and helpful. The Blue Lagoon is of course completely overcrowded with boats and tourists, but we knew that beforehand. Overall, a day to relax, as Malta's coast is about 3/4 cliffs and so you mostly only see cliffs on the tour. Don't forget sunscreen! In summary, we were positively surprised, apart from the sometimes simple and/or stupid guests.

Definitely one to tick off your list when in Malta - Booked this tour as we'd heard the boat was lovely and the company placed a maximum number of people on board as opposed to other companies who let them pile on.
Boat was indeed lovely with rubber mats placed for people to sit and sunbathe on as well as normal seating (shaded too if needed).
Food served was plentiful with the morning snack and afternoon fruit much needed.
Lunch of salad with meats, couscous, bread etc was good and free soft drinks throughout the trip.
Music soundtrack was also pretty good.
2 stops made for swimming and Blue Lagoon was busy but a must do.
A great day and a must do when in Malta.
Saw some lovely sights and the radio commentary was very informative.
clean toilets too.

Lovely day out. Relaxing & enjoyable - Lovely day trip on the water. Plusses and minuses:
+
Crew - lovely and helpful
Blue skies and non stop sunshine
Lunch salad was superb - wonderful variety (cold meats less so)
we had a wonderful choir group (from Spain) on board. 3 of the ladies kept us entertained on deck with their beautiful singing . We named them The Golden Girls
-
not much shade (and it was 31 degrees!)
felt overcrowded even though not at full capacity
the 'beer' included with the lunch was only Carling (yuk) the preferred local beer Cisk, was €4. Figure that one out!
the sound system wasn't great so much of the commentary en route was difficult to hear
Camino/Blue Lagoon was very crowded so we opted to stay on the boat and just swim off the side of that.
I probably wouldn't do this one again - lots of time at sea, for very little time on land, but it was a lovely day out. Relaxing & enjoyable.

Not as anticipated - Started off with an unpleasant and unnecessary reply from a staff member that we asked a simple question to, who was coordinating the checking desk which left a bad taste. On the boat though, the crew were lovely. Food and drink were fine. I feel that they need to cut down on passenger numbers to stop being trampled on, drinks spilling on you when people try and get past and to ensure there's plenty of shade. It ended up being an okay day, but I would not do it again until changes were made to comfort.
