The Best Boat Trips and Sea Tours in Malta

You have not truly experienced Malta until you have seen it from the sea. Surrounded by the clear, warm waters of the Mediterranean, the Maltese islands offer incredible boat trips ranging from relaxing harbour cruises to full-day swimming excursions at the Blue Lagoon.

Finding the Right Boat Trip

With so many options available, consider what kind of day at sea you are looking for:

  • For Swimming and Sunbathing: Look for full-day cruises to Comino's Blue Lagoon or the Crystal Lagoon, where the focus is on dropping anchor and enjoying the water.
  • For Sightseeing: Choose a Grand Harbour cruise or a coastal tour of Gozo to see impressive fortifications and dramatic cliffs.
