Start beneath Sensi Lido Beach in St Thomas Bay, where staff such as Adrian and Nani explain the kayaks and paddle technique. Then set off on your own to see Munxar Window, Hofriet Window, sea caves, cliffs, and quiet swimming spots. The basic session lasts 60 to 75 minutes, with extra time sometimes available.
“It was an amazing experience with Adrian, who was an excellent guide. I highly recommend!”
Paddle from Hondoq Bay to Comino with guides such as Chris, Viv, Andrew, Laura, or Frank. Expect basic instruction, a safety briefing, caves, arches, swimming stops, and time near the Blue Lagoon. The group is limited to 10, with kayaks, life vests, dry bags, and free trip photos included.
“One of the most memkrable experiances in Malta! We had Andrew as our guide who gave all the necessary instruction before going on the water and during the activity itself. The gear provided is in good shape and you can see the crew maintains it to the best of their abilities. The kayaks are sturdy (not some inflatable knock-off). Further, the team is always connected via radio and you have the feeling you are in good hands from the moment you get acquainted with your guide. It's a fun way to explore so many different caves and see the island of Camino in a different way. Every time I saw…”
Paddle from Hondoq Bay on Gozo to Comino during a three-hour guided kayak trip. You’ll visit sea caves, rock arches, coves, Santa Maria Bay, and the Blue Lagoon, with a 30-minute swim break. Guides such as Frank, Chris, Andrew, Laura, and Viv help beginners, provide gear, and send photos the next day.
“What a way to spend a morning! Getting to kayak from Gozo to Comino, Blue Lagoon and some hidden coves and caves. We got to have a swim halfway through too! Our guide Frank was brilliant and very entertaining and kept us all safe and happy! Would highly recommend. Tip: Wear old runners or swim shoes for this trip”
Rent a paddleboard for one hour at Sensi Watersports in St Thomas Bay, Marsaskala. You’ll receive safety guidance, equipment, and help from staff such as Nani or Nala before paddling independently along Malta’s south coast. The route is yours, with beaches, bays, cliffs, and sea caves to discover.
“1h passed fast! You can go to the other shore and stay there for a while and come back. The host is just great!”
From Little Armier, you’ll paddle a single or double kayak toward Coral Lagoon, the closest launch point to its sea cave. This two-hour, non-guided outing includes a kayak, paddle, life jacket, route advice, and lockers for valuables. It suits confident beginners and experienced paddlers who want time on the water without a set group tour.
“Great activity, decent kayaks and good instructions on how to find the Coral Lagoon from the staff working there. It was described as ‘quite choppy’ on the day we went. Being British and used to the English Channel the sea was ok condition wise for us, but as there are no guides and you’re out on your own in fairly deep water, I’d suggest it might not be the best activity for anyone that hasn’t tried kayaking before. Good choice of either double kayak or singles, life jackets provided and they have lockers for your valuables.Read more”
