What To Expect
Hagar Qim & Mnajdra Archaeological Park
Our first destination is the Megalithic temples of Hagar Qim, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, we delve into Malta's prehistory and discover insights into the island's earliest civilization. These remarkable stone structures, crafted over 5000 years ago using primitive stone tools, offer a glimpse into the ingenuity and craftsmanship of ancient peoples. Our exploration begins in the museum, where we immerse ourselves in the diverse ways of life of these early inhabitants. From there, we venture to the temples themselves, ready to witness first-hand the enduring legacy of Malta's ancient past. Travel to time to location: 30 mins Time at site: 75 mins
Blue Grotto Il-Hnejja
The Blue Grotto is our next stop, located in the picturesque valley, fishing hamlet, and tiny sea port of Wied iz-Zurrieq. The grotto and neighbouring system of sea caves are home to brilliant phosphorescent marine life. A 25-minute boat trip explores the incredible beauty of this natural wonder and is a "must-do". The fee for the boat trip is not included in the ticket price and will require an additional €10. Travel to time to location: 5 mins Time at site: 45 mins
