Welcome to my trip to Malta.
I will show you my favorite excursions in this blog post. By the way, you can also scroll to the bottom of the page if you prefer to watch the video :).
Excursion to Blue Lagoon - Comino (malta)
Malta is a top-rated tourist destination in Southern Europe about 80 Km south of Italy. The archipelago country is made of many small islands, with only 3 of them inhabited by people. These are Malta, Gozo, and Comino.
Located on the smallest inhabited island in Malta, Comino, Blue Lagoon is a must-visit destination for all who visit Malta. Best suited for day trips, it's clear blue water, warm sandy beaches and interesting coastline offer a beautiful contrast to the arid drylands making up most of Comino Island.

Being a tiny beach and a hot spot destination, the Blue Lagoon is often crowded with too many tourists.
I think the Blue Lagoon experience is best enjoyed as an excursion rather than just the beach experience. There are various ways of getting to the island, including boats. To go to the island, I would recommend buying a speed boat ticket, which is much faster than the regular boat ticket which takes about 3 hours or so, with two stops in between.
The boat also offers an open bar ticket for tourists, which is honestly not worth it due to the long queues and also, no soda water included.

However, I must say that Blue Lagoon itself is super beautiful. We were also able to book a jeep transfer to another small and calm beach for just 5 Euros return per person, which was an excellent investment.
Excursion to Valletta
As the capital of Malta, Valletta is located on the southeast of Malta and is known for its historic landscape, buildings, gardens, museums and churches. As of 2018, Valletta was named as the European Capital of Culture and a world Heritage site, Valletta has a rich culture comprising of exciting art, music, carnivals, and feasts.

With quaint cafes and wine bars, view of the Malta grand harbor and countless priceless paintings, historical buildings and museums, Valletta is one of Malta’s main tourist attractions and a favorite of many tourists.

It is best to visit the city by public transport of by ferry so that you can fully enjoy the beautiful blend of the old yet modern city with the many attractions it offers.

Excursion to the Blue Grotto
Blue Grotto refers to a series of accessible sea caves on the southeast coast of Malta. The caves are flooded by blue or emerald light that is as a result of sunlight passing through the water through an underwater cavity, creating a beautiful blue reflection that illuminates the cave.

Being one of the several sea caves flooded with blue light, Blue Grotto is a beautiful and pleasant place for tourists to visit. The best time to visit the cave is in the morning because there are fewer tourists at the site, thus allowing you to enjoy the cave in a less crowded space.
The location is excellent for cave visits, scuba diving, snorkeling, and rock climbing, and has been used many times in big screen and Tv productions.
Tourists can also book a boat trip to go inside the cave, which is a lagoon of about 60 meters long and 25 meters wide. We did not book a boat trip to go inside the cave, and still we immensely enjoyed the visit to the site.
Excursion to Mdina + Rabat
Located on the South West of Malta, Mdina and Rabat are two neighboring small towns that are very popular as tourist destinations.

While Mdina is known for its rich history, century-old buildings and big bastion fortifications; Rabat, a small town neighboring Mdina, offers a quiet character and natural beauty.
These towns are great for sightseeing and offer a variety of multiple points of interest that will charm you.

Mdina is super beautiful and offers rich architecture and history that will wow you.

The towns are great for day excursions as there are not many hotels available. However, there are few to be found, in case you want to spend over. For those visiting just for the day, there is plenty of parking not far away if you are coming by car.
