15 Workshops in Malta Worth Booking

1.First Experience Scuba Diving Lesson

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

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!”

2.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.”

4.Chocolate Making Workshop

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 47 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $30Top rated

An English hands-on chocolate workshop in Malta where you make chocolates, truffles, and paint designs to take home in about an hour.

“It was a fun afternoon out, I was a bit disappointed the main thing we did was white chocolate as it is not the most popular I certainly don’t want to eat what I’ve made. The truffles were disappointing as they were left to set on the tray but the all got stuck so ours turned into a broken mess, they should have provided grease proof paper. Even the lady said it’s a skill to get them off the tray and she hasn’t seen many successful. It was fun and we had a laugh but it wasn’t as good as expected.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 5 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $35

“The experience was beautiful. The chocolates taste great and it was also fun. You look a little bit like a piggy afterwards, but that's also quite funny. Tasting is also very important here, which I always like as a sweet tooth. But there was a bit of a deduction, because it was a bit expensive for 12 chocolates and also took only 40 minutes.Auto-translated”
