For the more patient traveller, fishing is a great activity to soak up the warm Mediterranean sun whilst making the most out of the fresh sea air and all that the sea has to offer. Opt for sport fishing in the late summer season that generally starts around September to increase your chances of catching some of the species present in Malta’s waters, including the Garfish, Dorado, Amberjack, as well as the Little Tuna.
SUP Yoga
If you’re eager to combine sun, sea and a workout into one, why not test your agility and balance with a session of SUP Yoga? Featuring paddle boards and a relaxing yoga session that guarantees loads of fun, this form of yoga is sure to stand out to be a memorable experience in your Mediterranean trip.
Golfing
For an activity that’s sure to be a hit with all age groups and levels, grab your clubs and tees and try your hand at golf at the Royal Malta Golf Club. Offering beginner as well as expert-friendly packages, this golf course is a guaranteed way to combine fun and sport whilst making the most out of the warm, Maltese summer days.
Flying
For an unforgettable experience that allows you to try your hand at flying an airplane, opt for a trial flight with Fun Malta. Providing plenty of opportunities for stunning aerial views and photographs, flying is a great way to explore the Maltese Islands’ nooks and crannies by air.
