Maltese Islands, Lagoons & Silent Cities - Overland Trip

1 week: Valletta to Valletta (KU-EUF12)

Get off the beaten track on our Family Adventure on the Island of Malta. Wander through the magical streets of Valletta and explore the town, to discover the land the Crusaders called home. Enjoy a day of leisure at Golden Bay Beach where there is the option of parasailing and a choice of other adventurous water sports for all ages, whilst saving up some energy and skill to learn how to play Bocci. This is a traditional game similar to lawn bowls, but played on a sandy surface! A short lesson will show the tricks you need to play the game that follows. Then it’s off to the Marine Park to experience the marine life including dolphins and sea lions. Next the excitement of a ride in a sea plane to Gozo Island, where we hop into a jeep and head off to explore some of the wild and fascinating sites. We spend a day in the Old Capital City of Mdina, also known as “The Silent City” exploring the Catacombs and Dungeon. Finally we spend a day relaxing on a beautiful schooner rigged Turkish gulet, cruising the islands, with time to snorkel and swim in the glorious Mediterranean. Please note that the child price is only applicable for 1 or 2 children under 12 sharing a room with 2 adults. If children are in a separate room, or if 1 child is sharing with 1 adult, then the adult price applies.
