What to expect

Set off on a sailing adventure on a catamaran, and stop at two or three of the best locations Malta has to offer for swimming and snorkelling.

Comino Island has two fantastic possible stops, the Blue Lagoon and the Crystal Lagoon. The Blue Lagoon is the most famous swimming spot with its crystal clear turquoise waters tempting those that want to cool off on a hot summer's day. Due to the sheer cliff drops, the Crystal Lagoon can only be reached by sea. You won't find a better snorkelling spot on Comino Island.

Another possible destination is the five-star sandy beaches of Ghajn Tuffieha. At Ghajn Tuffieha you will have time to swim, snorkel and have lots of water fun. Or if you prefer something more relaxing then why not laze the day away on our sunbeds or trampoline nets with a fantastic cocktail or two.

If the catamaran stops at Ghajn Tuffieha on the way back you will stop to discover the film set of Popeye village tucked away in the charming Anchor's bay. Make sure to have your cameras ready for some unique photos. Other possible locations are the long sandy beaches of Mellieha or the red sandy beach of Ramla il-Hamra in Gozo.

    The sailing, boat and crew were fantastic; booking via the Tui app was poor. I found the process confusing, light on detail and counterintuitive. Worst of all was the lack of a rapid booking confirmation and information on where to go (the TUI email that prompted the booking had told me I would get picked up at my hotel) were poor; as was the lack of detail that I would need tlo get a free boarding pass to get onto the quay. Great trip poor booking experience

    The staff on board really made this trip. It was incredible. They locations it went to and the guidance on these locations was incredible. The service on the catamaran was also brilliant and couldn’t fault anything. Would recommend it

    A great day out, generally well organised and executed. The crew were very polite and worked very hard. The trip kept to time and packed a lot in. One extra crew member needed to make the lunch queue move a lot more quickly and to assist swimmers back onto the back of the boat at swim stops. Thanks.

Marsaxlokk Sunday Market & Blue Grotto with Local Guide

Leisure is the name of the game on Sunday mornings in Malta, and this shopping and sightseeing trip makes the most of Malta's scenery and local culture. You'll head to Ħaġar Qim Temple, gaze at the renowned Blue Grotto and visit the fishing village of Marsaxlokk to stroll around its weekly market. Micheal, one of our expert local guides, says, 'If you like to eat fish and seafood, Marsaxlokk won't disappoint. It's packed with great restaurants and market day brings the freshest produce to town, much of it picked or caught the same day.'We'll kick off with a visit to the historic Hagar Qim Temple. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is over 5,000 years old and hints at how Malta's first inhabitants lived on the island. Then, it's on to one of Malta's most famous natural sights – the Blue Grotto of Wied Iz-Zurrieq. It's a 50-metre-deep natural cave with a huge arch that stretches out to sea. The caves get their name from the light reflecting off the water, which creates a dazzling blue colour. An optional boat trip into the grotto is available.You'll reach Marsaxlokk – one of the most picturesque spots in the country – just as tummies to begin growling. This quaint fishing village hosts a large market down by the waterfront – make sure you check out the colourfully painted ‘luzzu' boats floating in the harbour. As well as freshly caught fish, there'll also be locally grown fruit and veg, Maltese wines, cold cuts, cheeses and leather goods. Enjoy free time here and tuck into what takes your fancy.

Small-Group Tour of Gozo with Victoria and Ggantija Temples

Gozo and Malta are separated only by a narrow channel, but the differences are eye-catching. Gozo is greener, more laidback and sparsely populated. Get the lowdown on the island on this adults-only small group tour with visits to the Victoria Citadel, Ta'Pinu Basilica and Dwejra Bay. Yohanna, one of our expert local guides, says, "The mosaics at Ta'Pinu are a recent addition, dating from 2017. They feature 20 mysteries of the rosary mounted on four circular walls in what had previously been an unsightly car park."After a short trip by ferry to the island, you'll head to Qala Point first, for unobstructed views over the Maltese Archipelago. Then, it's off to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Ggantija Temples, which pre-date the Egyptian pyramids. The historic theme continues at the medieval Citadel of Victoria, the island's capital. Yohanna says, "Victoria was originally named Rabat, however, to commemorate Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee in 1887, its name was changed. You'll see lots of British influence here, due to 164 years under British rule."Next up is a visit to the salt pans, to see how salt is harvested on the island. After stopping for a lunch made from locally sourced ingredients at a traditional Gozitan restaurant, you'll head to Ta'Pinu Basilica, where you can grab some Insta-perfect snaps. Last but not least, you'll visit the impressive geographic features in and around Dwejra Bay – the Fungus Rock and the Inland Sea lagoon.
