Popular destination, Malta is experiencing its golden age in tourism. To meet the growing and increasingly demanding needs of tourists, Malta has had to adapt very quickly by offering activities that showcase its biodiversity and landscapes. Many cultural activities such as festivals are becoming increasingly popular in Malta, especially in summer, when the number of visitors is at its peak. Despite its 316 km² surface area, which makes Malta the smallest state in the European Union, the population density in Malta is the highest in the EU with 1,421 inhabitants per km². In summer, this figure is even higher. So to carry out the activities you want, it's best to plan ahead.

You have the choice to experience it in two different ways. Either you opt to leave in a slightly smaller group and in that case, you'll board a medium-sized boat; or you're a larger group and opt for a catamaran, equipped with underwater portholes allowing you to observe marine fauna and flora. By setting sail, you'll discover Malta from another point of view. The first stop will be at Crystal Lagoon. You'll have the opportunity to swim in these crystal-clear waters. Then, you'll visit Malta's two smallest islands, namely Gozo and Comino. Gozo has a small capital called Rabat that's worth the detour. You can't miss the impressive citadel that overlooks the city.
