Overview

Leaving the cruise port behind, your day will begin with a scenic drive through an array of pretty Maltese villages until you arrive at one of Malta's largest attractions - The Blue Grotto. Located on the southeast coast of Malta the Blue Grotto is a selection of sea caverns that allows you to admire the changing colors of the waters within. Here you will enjoy a stop for around 25-30 minutes to take photographs or you may choose to take the 20 minute boat ride through the caverns to take a closer look. (payable locally on the day, tickets are not included).

Back on dry land, journey to your next stop in Vittoriosa. Here you will be able to view the St Lawrence church before heading over to Malta's largest fishing village, Marsaxlokk. With some free time to enjoy your surroundings, why not wander through the colorful and vibrant marketplace and view some of the most eye catching fishing boats you will ever see!

Absorb yourself in the nature of Malta as you visit the only woodland area on the island, Buskett Gardens. Situated in the lush valley of Wied Il-Luq south of Rabat and east of Dingli it is here that you will find the Verdala Palace. The official residence of the President of Malta.

Follow the peaceful pathways around the gardens and discover a vast range of flora and fauna.

Jump back onto your transportation, ready to travel west, to the highest point in Malta to capture the stunning views from the Dingli Cliffs. Sitting some 250 meters above sea level, not only will you see the breath-taking views, you will also see from the outside the tiny chapel which was dedicated to St Mary Magdalene.

Visit what was once the capital city of Malta, Mdina also known as the silent city. If time permits you will also have the possibility to see a bit of Rabat, which is the suburb of Maltas old capital city. Rabat is a village located in the West of Malta, just outside Mdina.

Sit back and relax and enjoy the drive through the rolling countryside to Mosta. Located in the center of the island, it is famous for its most impressive building - The rotunda. A very large Basillica that has the third largest unsupported Dome in the world. Certainly, a sight to behold!

With your tour of this amazing island now drawing to a close, you will head back to La Valletta and return you to the cruise port in plenty of time for your ship's departure.
