Half day tour visiting
Hagar Qim Temple, Blue Grotto & Marsaxlokk



As this is a private tour the itinerary below can be customised to your specifications.

Touring the south of the island during this half day tour, starting at the Blue Grotto. This picturesque grotto and its neighboring system of sea caverns mirrors the brilliant phosphorescent colors of underwater flora. Boat trips, which take around 25 minutes allow you to explore these grottoes and sea caverns along this stretch of coast (he boat trip is not included in the overall price as it operates subject to weather conditions, allow EUR7.50pp). We continue with our tour to the Hagar Qim temple site. Set in a rural area this ancient temple is particularly interesting as it has the largest and heaviest megaliths out of all the temple sites around the Maltese Islands, some slabs weighing a staggering 20 tons. Our guide will unfold the history related to this temple which dates back 3300BC, an era dominated by Neolithic man. Our final stop is to Marsaxlokk. This quaint fishing village on the south coast, is characterized by low lying buildings and the colorful traditional fishing boats known as the 'luzzu'. A small local market lines the seafront and for those that enjoy fresh fish there are plenty of good quality restaurants to choose from. Stopping here for lunch is not possible during a half day tour. Our tour ends here and we make our way back.
