15 Marsaxlokk Tours to Build a Day Around

1.Blue Grotto & Sunday Market at Marsaxlokk Fishing Village

★★★★★★★★★★3.6 · 803 reviews · 4 hours · from $35Our pick

See Malta’s Blue Grotto sea caves and Marsaxlokk Sunday Market in one half day, with hotel pickup and expert local guiding.

“Driver and guide was lovely. But only 90 minutes at the market and time you walked down the hill and allowed time to get back to the coach it only really gave us a hour. To be fair this wasn’t really the tour’s fault and more due to one group of people at the first stop returning to the coach 25 mins late delaying our time at the market.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 82 reviews · 1 hour · from $18

One hour by traditional Maltese boat from Marsaxlokk to St. Peter’s Pool, passing Delimara forts, lighthouse, and salt pans.

“We’ve really enjoyed our trip on the boat. Our guide was very social and friendly and shared some facts on our way to St. Peters Pool. It’s definitely worth your while to choose the option which allows you to swim at St. Peters Pool. We’ve chosen to stay there for 1 hour, but I suggest to stay there a bit longer. You can choose to be picked up by the hour, so 1, 2 or 3 hours later (etc), without additional costs. One hour was too short in our experience. The guide also pointed out a spot which was a lot less crowded than St. Peters Pool. The boat is…”

“BEST DAY - book it! I could not have asked for a better person to learn about these wonderful areas and all as I wished. Chris first gets in touch with you to know how you’d like to spend time: I chose 8 hour day and it was perfect. From the comfort of the car, learning about things as we go along, Chris stopping for pictures as requested and joining in on some of the walks/churches to share information. While he stresses he’s not a tour guide, he provided information I wanted to learn about such as history of Malta, neighborhoods, churches, and architecture. It was a perfect mix and…”

A full-day Malta loop from Valletta to limestone quarries, UNESCO temples, and Marsaxlokk, with lunch and an optional Blue Grotto boat ride.

“I was very interested especially in the temple and the Limestone heritage experience. I loved the whole trip. The guide was great, and we were a group only with English and Spanish. I've to say, our guide sometimes walked a little too fast, because we also had older people in the group that had a little bit of trouble keeping up. The information he gave was fantastic. I enjoyed Hagar Qim and the Limestone heritage the most. The cave was interesting, but a little difficult to get down to with all those stairs. But worth doing it. I also loved the possibility that we could take the boat trip to…”

“Booked the bus before we arrived in Malta and the communication was brilliant! We were advised what places to visit and we would highly recommend it. 1)Mdina 2)Dingli cliffs 3)Blue grotto 4) Finish in Valletta It would have been nice if the driver spoke to us during the tour, telling us about the history and advised how long we could stay at each location We finished in Valletta to be told that is it and we have to make our own way back to the hotel. We were shocked by this as we were never told that we had to make our own way back. The itinerary on booking says…”
