Which Malta day trip should you choose?
The best Malta day trip depends on what you want to see. The available guided excursions follow distinct routes rather than offering variations of the same sightseeing tour, so start by choosing between coastal scenery, archaeology and evening city visits.
For Blue Grotto and Marsaxlokk
Choose the Blue Grotto and Marsaxlokk trip for a short guided outing focused on Malta's southern coast. It combines a visit to the Blue Grotto area with time in Marsaxlokk, the island's well-known fishing village and Sunday market destination.
For Malta's prehistoric heritage
The prehistoric temples tour is the most focused choice for travellers interested in archaeology. Rather than mixing several types of sights, it centres on Malta's prehistoric sites and includes admission to the sites visited.
For historic cities in the evening
The evening tour is suited to travellers who would rather explore Valletta, Mdina and Mosta later in the day. Alongside the city itinerary, it includes a Malta history 5D show in Valletta and a visit to the Basilica of the Assumption of Our Lady in Mosta.
Choose by itinerary, not just by tour format
Each option is a guided excursion, but the destinations create very different experiences. Pick the coastal route for scenery and village atmosphere, the temples route for ancient history, or the evening itinerary for city landmarks and panoramic views from Mdina's walls.

Before booking your Malta day trip
Check exactly what is included with your selected excursion before booking. Some activities may be optional or paid separately: for example, the boat ride at Blue Grotto is not included in the coastal excursion, while entrance fees to the prehistoric sites are included with the archaeology tour.
Also consider the timing of the excursion and how it fits into the rest of your stay. The available tours cover very different parts of Malta and operate as separate itineraries rather than variations of a single island tour.
