Hiking

Boasting a remarkably favourable climate, hiking is just one of many activities that can be enjoyed throughout the year. Whilst many are drawn to Malta by its stunning wildflowers, there are also caves, cliffs, ruins, and other delights to enjoy.

With areas such as Majjistral Nature and History Park being ideal for day hikes, there are many possibilities for shorter hikes too. Equally good for hiking are Gozo and Comino, which, like Malta, offer their own array of splendid views and countryside.

Diving

With such a fantastically favourable climate and an astonishing array of underwater sites, it’s easy to see why Malta is so popular with dive enthusiasts.

It’s hardly surprising that divers flock to the Maltese Islands from far and wide to explore its crystal clear waters. Offering a wide choice of shore and boat dives at varying depths, there’s something to suit divers of all abilities. With the possibility for anyone over the age of 10 to attain recognized diving qualifications, Malta really is the ideal destination for a family holiday!

Kayaking

With 300 days of sunshine and delightfully mild winters, kayaking is just one of the splendid activities that can be practised nearly all year round in the Maltese Islands.

Whether you’re an experienced kayaker wishing to explore the Island’s waters alone, a novice who’s never set foot in a kayak before, or you fancy being guided round the Islands by an instructor, the kayaking options are endless!

With rentals available on many beaches, hiring a kayak is a piece of cake. Should you wish to paddle further out to sea though, nothing beats guided tours around the Islands, taking you through its coves, nooks and crannies.

With so many splendid options to choose from, why not test the waters in Malta?

Snorkelling

With some of the warmest sea temperatures in the Mediterranean and spectacularly mild Winters, snorkeling is just one of the many water sports that can be enjoyed most of the year-round in Malta. And with very little gear required, it's an affordable activity anyone can enjoy. Whether you’re an experienced snorkeler, wishing to explore the Island’s underwater glory alone, or you’d prefer a guided tour with a bit of instruction, the snorkeling options abound!

And whilst there’s no end of caves and sea life awaiting you close to shore, for those wishing to go further out, there are boat tours for snorkelers too! With so many splendid snorkeling options available, why not take the plunge in Malta?

History

With over 7,000 years of history, Malta is the ultimate holiday destination for any history buff! Home to some of the oldest free-standing temples in the World, the Islands have also played host to the Phoenicians, the Romans, the Knights of St. John, Napoleon and the British Empire. A jaunt to its phenomenal fortifications, and an open-mouthed-gape at its truly awe-inspiring architecture is a must.

No trip to Malta is complete without going on a journey through time, from the prehistoric times to modern day.

Golden sandy beaches, unique red sands, and rocky shores, the Maltese Islands offer any type of swimming spot imaginable!
