Top Malta Outdoor Activities - page 3

We met Mary outside the Parliament building, where she provided everyone with earpieces and amplifiers — a great touch that made it easy to hear her throughout the walk. The tour began with a fascinating overview of Malta’s history, and Mary shared plenty of fine details and stories that brought Valletta to life. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and could answer just about any question about the city. Our route started in front of Parliament, continued to Hastings Gardens, then through the back of the main street. We were meant to visit the St John’s Headquarters, but it was closed due to an electricity issue. From there, we explored the old theatre (formerly the opera house), the Bursa, the Barrakka Gardens, Muza, and finally Republic Square and the Grand Master’s Palace Square. Overall, it was a very enjoyable and informative tour — highly recommended!

We had a wonderful time on board. The captain and crew were so attentive, friendly and helpful. There were not too many spaces available on the excursion so it didn't feel crowded at all. We made use of the paddleboards and snorkel equipment provided when we stopped in both the Blue and Crystal Lagoons. So relaxing and peaceful.

What a great experience to explore the coastline of Gozo and Comino. No need to see The Blue Lagoon, overcrowded and overrated. Beautiful waters and our tour guide was great! He was funny and gave alot of information about the area. Going in and out of the caves and grottos were fun. A must do activity!

With limited time, our family was able to see a wonderful overview of Malta. Traveling through the entire island showed us the very different styles of architecture and landscape. The guide was so knowledgeable and friendly. Many people that only utilized the hop on, hop off bus didn't get a real flavor for this wonderful place. I especially loved the blue grotto.

This was the perfect experience for something a little more relaxed, quick, and low key. You don’t want to get trapped on a boat with 100’s of people all drunk. This was a smaller group of around 20, probably less. We spent either 30 min or an hour at each key spot. You don’t really need more than that, as you will get tired of swimming and exploring pretty quickly. Recommend going in the morning to avoid crowds, although I bet sunset is lovely for pictures. Overall, perfect experience for what we were looking for

We hired a boat for 4 hours - Adin was our captain. Communication before the trip was good from Adin - we easily found our boat. Adin was an amazing tour guide. He told us all about each place we saw - he didn’t rush us one bit. The had ample time swimming at the Blue Lagoon and also another quieter area that was less busy that we liked. The boat itself was very safe that included inflatables/doodles for swimming if you were less confident swimmer. Adin also took lots of photos of our group (4 of us) - he was very friendly. We would recommend this boat tour to anyone - be sure to ask for Adin!!

This tour was exactly what I was looking for! Reading the descriptions of other boat tours and swimming cruises, I knew I did not want a giant 200 person party boat. The size of this boat is just perfect for number of people, as well as weight and holding its own on the water. I get extremely motion sick, and while I did prepare ahead of time with meds, the waters were calm, and I was able to enjoy the views and the cruise. The drinks on board are super reasonably priced, both for alcoholic and nonalcoholic. We were shown some cave highlight features first, then stopped at blue Lagoon for an hour to either explore the shore, or swim off the boat. I swam for the hour and it was spectacular. You can jump off the main level or the second level of the boat, some guys were doing flips or dives! Then we gathered everyone and went to the Crystal Lagoon. This was INCREDIBLE to swim in. Quieter, no huge boats, crystal clear waters, caves to explore. On the short ride over we were treated to some watermelon, perfect after a swim in the sun. Blue Lagoon was beautiful, but very populated, so I almost wish we had more time to swim in the crystal lagoon, as we were there for just 45 mins. All in all, incredible experience. If you want swimming, and not a huge crowd of people, this is for you!!!

The Highlight of our trip to Malta. We had private boat tour with this lovely family run company, the owners were so approachable and organized. They organized pickup and drop off for us, the boat tour was amazing, skipper Addin was so polite, knowledagble and competent with his sailing skills that made us feel safe and comfortable. We loved everything and highly recommend using their service for an unforgetable boat tour. Thank you so much and keep up the great work, definitely worth a 6* :)
