5.Valletta & Three Cities Harbour Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 239 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $23Best value

Cruise Valletta, the Three Cities, and Malta’s historic harbours aboard an air-conditioned catamaran, with practical tips on seats, weather, and value.

“We spent 1 hour 25 minutes travelling to the meeting point by bus only to be told when we arrived that it was cancelled. To say we were annoyed is an understatement as neither the tour operator had let us know this even though i had tried to contact them the evening before and they had not informed Viator it was cancelled. So the only review I can give on this is for a terrible experience.”

Explore Valletta and the Three Cities by boat on a 90-minute Malta harbour cruise with history, forts, photo stops, and onboard commentary.

“The tours was very good. I was on the top of the boat and could hear the (recorded) guide narrative very clearly. It provided good info about the history of Villetta and other harbor cities. The boat was supposed to leave the dock at noon, but it left at 12:20pm. So the tour was not 90 min as advertised, but about 70min.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 59 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $90

Review of Malta’s Hera 3 Bay Cruise, with Blue Lagoon swims, lunch, drinks, hotel pickup, timing, crowds, and practical booking advice.

“there were easily more than 100 people packed onto this boat. The workers were nice but there were just too many people. The floor was just people crammed onto mats. Also… there was one guest who stripped down to the nude twice in front of everyone! Many people complained but the man just walked off. He was completely naked in front of everyone. Such a weird boat. There must have been almost two hundred people on the boat, it was impossible for people who didn’t want to jump off the boat to swim because there was a line up in the water of people climbing back up the ladder.”
