See the beauty, splendor and incredible variety of Malta through the eyes of a child on this exceptional full-day adventure sure to make memories that will last a lifetime.
Begin with a comfortable motorcoach tour to Marsaxlokk, a charming Maltese fishing village where colorful boats bob in the water. The area is home to 70% of the fishing fleets of Malta, so it bustles with activity. The kids will enjoy watching the fishermen mend their nets and paint and ready their boats.
Next up, drive through a series of quaint villages before arriving at the stunning Blue Grotto, a geological phenomenon of sea caves carved into the jagged coastline and crowned with a natural rock arch over the deep blue water. Older kids will get a kick out of learning that, in 2001, Brad Pitt was on location here when filming a scene for the film Troy.
Continue on through the town of Girgenti, home of the prime minister's summer residence, and head up to dramatic Dingli Cliffs, Malta's highest point at 830 feet above sea level.
After your panoramic tour, it's time for a change of pace at the Malta National aquarium, which is the largest in the Maltese islands. It hosts more than 175 different species of various animals, including fishes, molluscs, reptiles and insects. Enjoy lunch in this pleasant setting before returning to port.
At the conclusion of this memorable day, return to port.
