Malta Jeep Safari

Departing from the port on this Malta Jeep Safari, your chauffeur will lead the Jeep as you explore the island and make photo stops along the way. You will first head to the hilly region of Mizieb in the northern end of the island. Here you will have a chance to see some of the rolling desert-like topography as you travel over the winding roads.

You will then drive to St. Agatha's Tower, built in 1649 for the Knights of Malta. Also known as the Red Tower due to its color, it has a commanding position on the crest of a ridge overlooking the natural harbor, and with clear views over to Comino and Gozo.

Continuing your Jeep tour in Malta, you will then travel past Popeye Village, the site of the 1980 film starring Robin Williams, which has been developed into an amusement park.

Then it's time to leave the paved road and go over some of Malta's dirt roads. The ride is bumpy, dusty and fun. You will make your way to Golden Bay, one of the largest beaches on the island, and luckily not overdeveloped. Time will be taken for an optional quick swim to get the dust off and cool down.

From here you travel to Mgarr, a typical rural village situated in an isolated region surrounded by rich farmland and vineyards. You will also see Fomm ir Rih, an area of interesting landscape with vertical cliffs created by a fault line.

Your next stop is to view the silent city of Mdina, a Medieval walled town situated on a hill in the center of the island. Then, a drive through the Mtahleb Valley to see its mixture of wild and very fertile terrain, before stopping for a light lunch.

After lunch you will travel to the Dingli Cliffs on the island's west coast. Here you will have open-sea views over the tiny, uninhabited isle of Filfla from one of the highest points on Malta. Then, on to view the Blue Grotto from the dramatic cliffs above.

Finalizing your Jeep tour of Malta, you will then begin to drive back towards Valletta. Along the way you will drive through the charming fishing village of Marsaxlokk, famous for its scenic harbor and Sunday market. From here it is approximately 30 minutes back to the port.

Please Note: Every Jeep has a soft top that can be open or closed, depending on the weather and guest preference. Besides the chauffeur, each Jeep fits up to five additional guests. Guests are not allowed to operate the vehicle. This is not a guided tour; however, a chauffeur for the Jeep is included in the tour.
