SEA LEVEL TRAVERSING
Malta's coastline is rocky with many inlets and caves. This makes Malta the ideal location for traversing the sea coast especially in the hot weather when you head for a shady stretch of coast.
Sea-level traversing allows you to experience all of the freedom of DWS but with the added advantage of a very short fall into the sea should you not be able to continue your chosen route. In the summer months when temperatures are high and the sea is a very refreshing break, you can throw yourself off the rock-face and into the cool waters of the med!

PRIVATE TOUR GUIDE
Being a small island as she is, you might expect that maybe there is not much to see in Malta. Wrong! Malta is chock-full of things to see and do, boasting thousands upon thousands of years of history, varied landscapes in relatively small distances, and fabulous sights to behold. If you are feeling a bit lost, you don't know from where you should start, maybe you would like to know why things are as they are, or even you are so pressed for time that you would like to take in the sights before you head home, then a private tour guide is the perfect option for you. With bucketfuls of information, and varying tour lengths, there is surely something which fits everyone's bill.

Visit Malta in a Day
You'd be surprised by how much you can manage to view in a day! 
Tour starts at the Capital Valletta, where you will discover why the city was chosen as the 2018 Capital of Culture. 
Next stop, the fishing village of Marsaxlokk, followed by a picturesque boat ride at the Blue Grotto. 
Next, you'll visit the prehistoric Temples of Hagar Qim and Mnajdra, built more than 5000 years ago.
After stopping for a photo at Dingli Cliffs, you'll stop at Mdina, Malta's old Capital, and have some lunch in the city's walls.
Final stop will be at the Northern Coast of Malta, known for its sandy beaches. 

Visit Gozo in a Day
Malta's sister island of Gozo is a gem which should be on everyone's list. 
Tour starts with the ferry ride from Cirkewwa to Mgarr Harbour, then off to Ggantija to visit one of the oldest man-made structures on earth. Then you'll tour the ancient walled city of Cittadella, which sits on top of Gozo's capital, Victoria.
