★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 979 reviews · from $34

Full-day Mermaid Cruises boat tour from St Paul’s Bay to Comino’s Blue Lagoon and Gozo, plus caves and St Paul’s Island swims.

“Lovely small boat. Didn’t go from St Paul’s. Got bus to other port. Bus broke down so we were delayed by an hour Blue lagoon was gorgeous even though it was very busy it was still lovely. Stayed for an hour and a half then went to Gozo. Took bus to centre. Absolutely beautiful. Only an hour and a half so got lunch and a quick look round. Would like more time here. Back to boat to visit crystal caves. Again amazing. Too rough to stay for swim. Back to bus who dropped us off at our apartment in the way. Highly recommend. Great value. Wonderful boat.Read more”

Malta: First Experience Scuba Diving Lesson

6.First Experience Scuba Diving Lesson

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 415 reviews · from $91

Malta first-time scuba lesson with Aquatica centre. Small group coaching, online theory, two underwater sessions, max 12 m.

“It was a wonderful experience and coach. It is my first time and in general I am not used to sea water. I got afraid under the water and the coach helped me to relax and finally I finished the diving. I didn’t equalize enough when diving so my ears started to hurt. After several times of trying to equalize, my ears still hurt but better. Finally, the coach let me dive in shallow water, which is still nice. Highly recommended!”

Malta: Comino, Blue Lagoon, + Sea Caves Day Trip

9.Comino, Blue Lagoon, + Sea Caves Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 123 reviews · 4 - 6.5 hours · from $35

Sail from Bugibba to Comino’s Blue Lagoon and Santa Maria Bay, with snorkeling time, cave views, and a comfy Seahorse Cruises ride.

“Overall experience was really good! Do not expect a few people on board, it’s pretty crowded, but still — everything was nice. Beautiful places, and as a first boat trip on Malta to see the most popular places it works as it has to. The crew was friendly, not overpriced food and drinks on board. You have time to swim, watch the beauties of the island from the sea and sip your beer. So, thanks to the crew :)”

Malta: Private Boat Cruise with Caves, Beaches & Swim Stops

10.Private Boat Cruise with Caves, Beaches & Swim Stops

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 107 reviews · from $397

Private Malta boat cruise for up to 7, with Comino caves, swim and snorkel stops, and optional Maltese platter.

“The boat trip was absolutely insane, had the most amazing time. The guide was super friendly and helpful, was able to bring lots of drinks and food which was definitely needed as theirs only one stop (blue lagoon) where you can grab food and drinks. But the guide was super helpful and definitely would have taken us somewhere to grab anything. It was only 4 hours but definitely could have done longer but was still enough time to enjoy the sights. We had music on the whole time and want driving into the sea of the boat and cliffs. Would 100% recommend, was great value for money !!!Read more”

Malta: Chocolate Making Workshop

11.Chocolate Making Workshop

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 80 reviews · 1 hour · from $29

Handmake Malta truffles and molded chocolate in a one-hour workshop at Malta Chocolate Factory, taught in English, all ingredients included.

“It was my first time making chocolate 🍫 and it was a cool experience. Jovana was helpful with explanations and taking pics / videos of me so I could also keep the memory longer. The only thing that felt a bit rushed is that there are 20mins given (later extended) to paint the chocolate 🍫 and for a non-artist it does feel a bit of a stressful situation but overall it was good.”
