1. Ferry from Malta to Comino — cheapest & most direct
This is what most people do. 
Step 1: Get to Ċirkewwa Ferry Terminal
Ċirkewwa is at the very north tip of Malta. From Naxxar:
• By bus: Take bus 221 from Buġibba or 41, 42, x300 from Valletta. From Naxxar, grab bus 31/45/46 to Buġibba, then hop on 221 to Ċirkewwa. Total ∼45-60 min. Check Malta Public Transport’s Journey Planner or Google Maps.

The ferry drops you right at the Blue Lagoon dock. No swimming from the ferry though — it’s just transport.
