“Was great experience get to sunbath on a secluded beach”
Starting at Hondoq Bay, guides Chris, Viv, Frank, Andrew, and Laura lead beginner-friendly kayak trips across the Gozo Channel to Comino. Expect caves, arches, swimming stops, coastal stories, and about 2.5 hours on the water. Routes change with wind and sea conditions.
“My two teenagers and I had a wonderful adventure with kayaking! Our tour guide, Laura, was a fantastic instructor. We were in a small group with another family of four, and everyone felt comfortable and enjoyed visiting beautiful swim spots, including blue lagoons and small caves. Laura even took lots of photos and videos to share with us right after the tour. All the other staff were very friendly, kind, and helpful. We stayed in Malta for one week, but this was definitely the best experience of our vacation. Thanks again, and we look forward to another day out there!”
Paddle from Hondoq Bay on Gozo toward Comino with guides such as Frank, Chris, Andrew, or Viv. Expect 2.5 hours on the water, cave passages, rock formations, secluded swimming spots, and a Blue Lagoon stop. Kayaking experience is not required, but you need basic fitness and swimming ability.
“An unforgettable experience! The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt comfortable, regardless of kayaking experience. The scenery was absolutely stunning — crystal-clear waters, hidden caves, and the iconic Blue Lagoon. We had plenty of time to explore, swim, and take photos. The pace was relaxed but still adventurous, making it perfect for both beginners and seasoned paddlers.”
Start at Little Armier, the closest launch point to Coral Lagoon, and paddle out on your own for two hours. You receive a kayak, paddle, and life jacket, with staff explaining the route to the cave. Choose a single or double kayak, and use lockers for valuables.
“It was probably the best activity we had on Malta!”
Meet the English-speaking Joyride Watersports Gozo team at Hondoq Bay, kayak the coast for an hour, pause at a small beach, then ride by boat into Santa Maria Caves. You’ll be dropped at Comino’s Blue Lagoon for swimming and snorkeling, with pickup arranged later.
“Overall a great day. Kayaking into caves was fun, we had 4 adults and 4 children, ranging from age 5-9 and they all enjoyed it. Speedboat was lots of fun- very fast- you will get splashed! Then the blue lagoon was beautiful with great snorkelling although very busy even in October.”
Start at Night Kayak Malta in St Thomas Bay, Marsaskala, where guides including Nane provide safety instruction before you paddle a transparent LED-lit kayak toward Munxar Window Sea Cave. The 75-minute outing is calm, scenic, and best for confident swimmers aged 10 and up.
“Der Guide hat uns vieles erzählt über Malta, zudem konnten wir ein paar Meeresbewohner bei einer romantischen nächtlichen Kanutour durch den Hafen von der Saint Paul Bay genießen. Kleines Feedback meinerseits etwas stärkere Lampen verwenden, damit man, damit man eine bessere Belichtung des Meeresbodens garantieren kann. Ansonsten eine tolle Erfahrung für jedes Alter und nur zu empfehlen!”
Meet Sensi Watersports behind the Sensi Beach Lido, learn the basics from an English-speaking instructor, and paddle St. Thomas Bay for one hour. You’ll explore coastal spots such as Sea Caves Cliffs and Hidden Windows in a stable boat suited to families, with life vests required.
“Kayak plus confortable que l année précédente. Bonne prise en charge.”
