★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 2,041 reviews · 1 day · from $29

See Malta from an open-top double-decker bus on a one-day North or South route from Sliema Ferries. Stop at Mdina, San Anton Gardens, Marsaxlokk, the Blue Grotto, Hagar Qim, and more. Multilingual audio, headphones, and wheelchair access are included. Plan carefully: buses may be about an hour apart, so three major stops is a realistic target.

“The Hop-On Hop-Off Bus tour is a great way to explore Malta for a good price. There are audiobooks available in a lot of languages, that will tell you interesting facts about the environment. It is cool to have an open roof. Normally I get a headache if I am in the car for too long, but now I did not.”

9.Comino, Gozo, Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon and Caves Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,923 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $36

Spend about seven hours cruising from St. Paul’s Bay past Malta’s caves and beaches to Comino’s Blue Lagoon, then continue to Gozo. You get 90 minutes for swimming and a three-hour Gozo stop, with an optional €5 shuttle to Victoria. Captain Kevin’s crew also offers a paid speedboat cave trip.

“It was a great experience, I chose this particular one because of the details I found about the tour, extras, itinerary compared to the lack of details at other boat tours, even though it meant I travelled from Valletta to St. Paul's for it. I really appreciated that the captain told us a bit about where we were passing by, also the speed boat cave tour extra was lots of fun. One thing I would advise is that you should choose either speed boat or going snorkelling in blue lagoon by yourself, there's hardly enough time for both, I tried to do both but had a swim for 10-15mins only…”

“We booked a tuk-tuk tour with a light lunch through Yippee (via Vialtor), and though we were initially unsure, it turned out to be the best decision! The tour was well-organized—we were picked up on time, boarded the boat smoothly, and enjoyed a pleasant 25-minute ride to Gozo. Upon arrival, we were quickly transferred to our spacious tuk-tuk (fits up to 6 passengers). Our driver, Ursula, was both knowledgeable and cautious, providing clear instructions at each stop. After exploring Gozo, we sailed to Comino Island for a refreshing swim and cave tour. Finally, we were dropped off back in Malta without any hassle. Overall, Yippee made it easy to see…”

“I was with my family of 5, and I was worried as a lot of reviews for this and other boat trips said the boats got really crowded. Perhaps we got lucky but the crowds were not too bad when we went and the boat ride was amazing! We got to make a lot of cool stops, swim, use the slide on the boat, and get some cool photos. One thing to note is that they leave at very strict times and the departure dock is a little bit of a walk, so try to find it early (15 minutes early to find should be okay. It's by a little…”
