Valletta Walking Tour: Grand Master's Palace & St. John's CathedralYou walk the main streets of Valletta with a professional guide who covers the Grand Master's Palace, St. John's Co-Cathedral, Upper Barrakka Gardens, and the Auberge de Castille while telling the true stories behind them — the Knights, the galley slaves, the patients, the artists. The guide handles the history and the navigation, so you just follow and listen.Is it for me?Book this if you want the main landmarks of Valletta plus the stories most walking tours skip — the guide takes the guesswork out of what to see and why it matters, which is what lets you actually understand the city instead of just moving through it.
Malta: Blue Lagoon & Gozo Cruise with Waterslide & 3-Hour Island TimeYou board at St. Paul's Bay, cruise past sea caves and rock formations for an hour, then moor at the Blue Lagoon for 1.5 hours of swimming and snorkeling with a waterslide option. After that, you have 3 free hours in Gozo — either exploring Victoria's Citadel and streets on an optional shuttle, or relaxing at the harbor. The boat returns at 5pm, and the whole day is run by a family crew that's been doing this since 1984.Is it for me?A good fit if you want to see Comino and Gozo in one day without renting a car or arranging your own boat — the fixed schedule and mooring position mean you get both swimming time and island exploration without the logistics. Plan for a full day out from morning to early evening; that's what makes fitting three stops and 3 free hours in Gozo possible.
Gozo & Blue Lagoon: Tuk Tuk Tour with Lunch & Boat ReturnYou’ll ride open-air tuk tuks along Gozo’s winding roads with a local guide, explore ancient temples and seaside villages, stop for lunch in a quiet courtyard, and finish with a boat ride past Comino’s Blue Lagoon. Expect salty air, honest food, and moments you’ll remember long after you’ve left the island.
Gozo & Comino: Blue Lagoon, Citadel & Santa Marija Day TripYou’ll feel both freedom and wonder on this Gozo & Comino day trip: catch salty breezes from Bugibba, roam Victoria’s ancient Citadel, climb windswept Santa Marija Tower, then swim in the unreal blue of Comino’s lagoon. No guide means you set your own pace — just soak it all in.
Gozo & Comino Blue Lagoon: Catamaran Day Trip with BarYou’ll ride a modern catamaran from Sliema to Gozo and Comino’s famous Blue Lagoon, with time to swim or just chill out on deck. There’s an onboard bar, free WiFi, showers, and wheelchair access—plus friendly local crew who make it feel easy. Expect bright water, good stories, and maybe a laugh or two that stays with you after you leave Malta.
Blue Lagoon Catamaran Malta: 2–3 swimming stops dailyYou board a large catamaran at St Paul's Bay and sail to two or three swimming and snorkeling spots—Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon, or Ghajn Tuffieha—chosen on the day based on sea and wind conditions. Sunbeds and trampoline nets are yours to use, and if the route passes Popeye Village, you get a photo stop at the old film set. The boat runs adults-only (12+) June through October, with music and a relaxed pace built around water time, not guided commentary. Plan to arrive thirty minutes early, leave shoes at the gangway, and expect a full day in the sun with swimming and snorkeling included.Is it for me?Right for swimmers and sun-seekers who want a full day on the water without arranging transport or picking specific stops—the catamaran adjusts to conditions, which is what keeps the snorkeling and swimming time flexible and safe. Plan for a full day out (roughly eight hours) and arrive thirty minutes early; the adult-only summer season (12+ June–October) means a relaxed, music-filled atmosphere rather than a family tour.
Malta: Private Boat Tour Blue Lagoon, Comino & Crystal LagoonYou’ll float in Malta’s clearest waters far from crowds, swim straight off your private boat into Blue Lagoon and Crystal Lagoon, and explore hidden caves only locals seem to know about. With snorkeling gear ready and a friendly captain guiding you, expect laughter, salty skin, and memories that stick long after you’ve dried off.

Malta: Self-Drive Electric Car Tour of Three Cities & BirguYou’ll wind through Malta’s Three Cities in your own self-drive electric car, guided by an audio system in your language of choice. Expect fortress views in Birgu, local faces along quiet streets, and even some unexpected movie history as you go. It’s relaxed, funny at times, and gives you space to just be there — windows down, sun on your face.
Malta: Blue Lagoon & Comino Caves Cruise with Swim & SlideYou’ll float through Malta’s wild blue waters to Comino’s caves, then swim and slide into the Blue Lagoon right from your family-run boat. With plenty of time to sunbathe or chill in shade, grab snacks from the bar or wander onto Comino island at your own pace. This isn’t a polished cruise — it’s relaxed, warm, and full of small surprises.
Valletta: Street Food & History Walking Tour with Local GuideYou walk Valletta's historical center with a licensed guide, stopping to taste pastizzi, ftira with Kinnie, spiced coffee, mqaret, and a final platter of local dishes with beer. The guide connects each food to the city's history as you move through Castille Square and past heritage sites. Hotel pickup is available, and the tour wraps in a local restaurant, so you leave having eaten and learned something real about the island.Is it for me?Book this if you want to understand Valletta's history through its food without spending the day researching restaurants or navigating the old town alone—the guide's knowledge and the fixed route mean you taste what matters and learn why it matters, all in one morning.
Valletta: Food Tour with Local Snacks, Coffee & Harbour ViewsYou’ll walk Valletta’s winding streets with a local guide who shares snacks like pastizzi and imqaret as you go — plus strong spiced coffee and cold beer at lunch.

A private boat crossing gets you there and back, and a second boat trip takes you to Comino's Blue Lagoon and sea caves. Hotel pickup, traditional lunch, helmets, and insurance are included. Summer departures add a swim stop.Is it for me?Book this if you want to reach Gozo's hidden bays and cliff-top views that aren't on the standard tour route — the quad bike is what gets you there, and the private boat crossing means no ferry queues or timing conflicts with your hotel schedule.
Malta Private Sailing Charter: Blue Lagoon, Comino & BBQ LunchYou’ll set sail from Valletta’s Grand Harbour with a local skipper, passing St. Paul’s Islands before anchoring at Comino for swimming and snorkelling in crystal-clear bays like Blue Lagoon. A fresh BBQ lunch is cooked right on board while you relax on deck. It’s a day that feels both peaceful and full—one you’ll probably replay in your head later.
Malta: Catamaran Cruise, Comino Caves & Lunch with DrinksYou’ll slip into Malta’s easy rhythm on this catamaran cruise: sunbathing on bean bags as you pass Valletta’s walls, swimming off Comino’s quieter coves, sharing a fresh lunch with wine, then drifting home through Grand Harbour’s golden light.

ATV riding Gozo: Full-day buggy tour with lunch and Comino swimA full-day buggy tour of Gozo departing from Mgarr Harbour takes you across the island's valleys, clifftops and rough off-road tracks, stopping at Ggantija Temples (older than Egypt's pyramids), Ramla Bay, Calypso Cave, the Inland Sea and the Salt Pans. Hotel pickup and drop-off, a buffet lunch with local wine, speedboat transfer through the Blue Lagoon and Comino Caves, and a 45-minute swim stop are included; small groups keep the experience intimate.Is it for me?You drive the buggy yourself across rough terrain and sealed roads, so this suits someone who wants hands-on control rather than watching from a passenger seat. The small-group format and eight-hour pace work for travelers with a full day to spend and moderate fitness for off-road driving; families with infants can bring a pram or stroller, and children must be accompanied by an adult.
Malta Half-Day Sailing Charter & Bay ExplorationYou board a small yacht with a skipper and a handful of others, choose your destination bay from four options, and spend four hours sailing, swimming, or learning to handle the wheel yourself. Snorkeling gear and paddle boards are on board; water is provided. You can bring your own food or skip it. Evening charters can include a night harbour tour instead of a full sail. The return time depends on which departure you pick — morning ends at 12:30pm, evening at 10:30pm.Is it for me?Right for people who want to actually sail or swim in clear water without a fixed itinerary or a crowd — the skipper adjusts the day to what you want, and the small-group format means you're not one of thirty people on a tour boat.
