Full description
Your 5-hour tour starts at the Blue Grotto. Made up of sea caverns on the southern coast of Malta, the Blue Grotto caverns are west of Wied iz-Zurrieq Harbor and across the small uninhabited islet of Filfla. Every day from sunrise until about 13:00 the cave's unique location allows sunlight to reflect in the water to create numerous shades of brilliant blue. Several caverns mirror the brilliant phosphorescent colors of the underwater plants. Other caverns show a deep dark shade of blue. If weather permits, you can do a 20 minute boat trip around the caves for an extra fee. You will then drive to the fishing village of Marsaxlokk. Vibrant, colorful Marsaxlokk Market offers a great opportunity to experience the local life. Browse the stalls where fresh fish and seafood are sold, and barter for honey, fruit jams, wine, vegetables, clothing, and souvenirs. You'll have free time to explore this picturesque market village before heading back.

We were all disapointed that the boats were not available to take us to the caves. My husband and I saw them 48yrs ago and had recommended them to our friends and they were so looking forward to the visit. I guess we'll just have to come again to see them but one of our friends has Parkinsons and sadly is deterieorating and will be unable to visit again. but we loved visiting the village and the cliffs too.

Really nice tour, recommended! Pick up from the hotel, visit to the cave where you have plenty of time to take the boat ride, the guide accompanies you to the boarding point. I also had time to buy some small souvenirs. After an hour we set off again for the markets and the fishing village. Nice market, big, offers a lot. I recommend going on a Sunday to make sure you find the market. During the journey, the guide also explains and tells some anecdotes (he speaks several languages easily, including Italian).

We had a lovely morning out seeing some sights of Malta and learning about some Maltese traditions and history. We weren’t able to get a boat for the Blue Grotto due to the wind, but that can’t be helped and otherwise we enjoyed it. Definitely worth a visit if you enjoy fresh fish as the market was surrounded by restaurants selling many fish dishes!
