KAYAKING IN MALTA Caves, Coves & Crystal Waters
Explore the hidden caves and secluded coves of Malta, Gozo and Comino — only accessible by kayak
Kayaking: the best way to discover Malta differently
Malta is among the best sea kayaking destinations in the Mediterranean. Its rugged limestone coastline hides sea caves, natural arches and wild coves accessible only by water. From Gozo and Comino, near-deserted turquoise waters await you in the morning. Unlike boat excursions, kayaking lets you enter caves otherwise impossible to access — an experience other tourists will never see.
