8 Kayak Trips in Malta Worth Booking

1.Ultimate Kayak Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,514 reviews · 1 hour - 75 minutes · from $12Our pick

Start at Sensi Watersports beneath Sensi Lido Beach in St Thomas Bay. Adrian, Nani, and their team show you how to paddle, then you set off on a self-guided route toward the Munxar and Hofriet Windows. Choose a single or double kayak, explore caves, and swim if conditions allow. The basic session lasts 60 to 75 minutes.

“Firstly- you need to add an extra hour when booking to fully get the most out of this activity! That takes it to 18 euro pp, still a bargain! We had the most amazing time on our self guided tour, and the instructors at the watersports base gave us great tips on where to go. We went inside a spooky but super cool sea cave, and also pulled up in a deserted little bay, snorkeling and swimming all by ourselves. Bliss!”

6.Ultimate Kayak Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 22 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $14

Paddle from Sensi Watersports in Marsaskala to the clear waters around St Thomas Bay and Munxar. The one-hour session may include sea caves, swimming, and snorkeling, with your own group taking part. It costs $14.20 per person, but weather cancellations and occasional booking problems are worth considering.

“We paid for the tour and hired a ride to take us to the activity only to find it was canceled due to weather. We had to take a cab back to where we were staying. I asked the vendor for a refund because we had already booked an all day tour with viator the next day and leaving after that. The vendor has not answered my email requesting the refund. I only want the activity refunded.”
