Malta · GRAND HARBOUR BOAT TOURS
The Grand Harbour and Marsamxett are the reason Valletta exists, and the creeks only make sense from the water. These 12 cruises take between forty minutes and two hours, and the cheapest is often the best.
See Valletta and the Three Cities by night on a 90-minute cruise through Marsamxett and Grand Harbour plus 10 creeks, with English commentary.
“Please improve the documentation as there were 3 charter companies and we didn’t know which one we were booked with”
Valletta and Three Cities harbour cruise: star forts and Birgu views on a Wi-Fi catamaran with live English commentary.
“There was a communication breakdown between the cruise company and Viator. Unfortunately, we did not get to go on the cruise because it was canceled by the company. However we were able to book our tickets online without adequate communication of its closure. I am currently waiting on my refund for the cruise I did not receive. I hope to receive my refund in a timely manner.”

“Bus is filthy. No air conditioning and drivers did not know where we needed to get off to go on harbor cruise. Audio system does not work in many of the seats. We never got to go on harbor cruise. Worst hop on hop off bus we have ever been on.”

48-hour Malta hop-on hop-off bus plus harbour cruise with live commentary, starting in Sliema. Optional Esplora Science Museum stop.
“Easy to get on and off. Staff very friendly. Only downside was the bus stops were not as regular as other sightseeing buses in other cities & countries. They also stopped rather early in the afternoon. The boat cruise of Valetta was exceptional.”
Private 35-minute Grand Harbour boat tour in Malta with Keith, where you’ll spot Forts, learn siege stories, and enjoy calm Valletta views.
“A fabulous way to understand part of Malta. Keith was generous with his time and knowledge. He turned up on time, answered all our questions and filled us in on the history and architecture of the Grand Harbour”
Night harbour cruise from Sliema. 1.5 hours around Marsamxett and Grand Harbour near Valletta, with English commentary and BYO drinks.
“The boat ride was lovely because there were only 10 of us on board as opposed to the usual 50+. The tour however was read to us however by the vost drivers phone (AI/Computer). When It was run by Supreme tours, the boat driver was the guide and much more informative. For £17 however, its a great 1.5 hours to sit, have a few drinks, take pictures and juat relax. I would recommend it, yes.”
Grand Harbour Cruise from Sliema by eco catamaran, with live English and German commentary, indoor or outdoor seats, Wi-Fi, and optional Esplora stop.
“Splendid views of the harbour and Grand Harbour with informative commentary, although sometimes a little difficult to hear/ understand. A pre-recorded commentary might be better. However, overall, good value for money and worth experiencing.”
Malta 2-day hop-on hop-off bus plus harbour cruise with North and South routes, flexible days, and waterfront views from iSeeMalta.
“It's easy to explore the most important sights. But you have to be careful, as there are two providers on the island, so you can't take just any bus. You also have to pay attention to the signs, as the north route buses are not necessarily blue. Unfortunately, the audio guide provided does not work on every bus. They are not the newest. We took full advantage of the offer with a two-day bus tour and a harbor tour on the third day. (Tip: sit on the right side so that the explanations match what you are seeing.)”
