Ride a quad through Mellieħa’s coastal trails, bays, forts, and villages on a four-hour Malta adventure with transfers and a swim stop.

“We had an amazing time on the 4-hour quad bike excursion in North Malta, and it was definitely a five-star experience. The route was a perfect mix of rugged trails, scenic coastal roads, and off-the-beaten-path tracks, offering stunning views of the island’s northern cliffs and countryside. The quads were in excellent condition, easy to handle, and added just the right amount of adventure. Our guide was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, making sure everyone felt safe while keeping the pace exciting.

3.Half-Day Tour of Mosta, Ta’Qali Crafts Village & Mdina

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 110 reviews · 4 hours · from $41

Explore Mosta’s miracle church, Ta’ Qali crafts, and Mdina’s medieval streets on a practical four-hour Malta tour.

“It was good seeing the countryside and the guide was able to tell us something of life in Malta. I liked the convenient pickup and drop-off points and the fact that I didn't need to worry about where to alight from the bus. Negatives are - not enough time to see things properly. We were supposed to go to three craft outlets at Ta'kali - we didn't get to the ceramic outlet and we only had about 20 minutes each at the other two. They were spaced out between each other so it's not as though we could have walked between one and the other. When we got to Mdina,…”

Review of Malta’s Blue Grotto and Marsaxlokk tour from Valletta, with boat costs, market time, pickup tips, weather risks, and value advice.

“Four of us took this tour. We were picked up on time and proceeded to fill the bus around the island. Linda, our English guide, was very welcoming and accommodating. She lost no time in getting us to the important sites. We had plenty of time to look around, shop for souvenirs, take pictures or grab a snack. At the end of the tour, we asked to be dropped off near the Hypogeum instead of our hotel. This was no problem and we made it to our next tour with time to spare. A great experience! The only thing that needs attention is the volume of the microphone on the…”
