This six-hour route covers around 8 km of coastal paths, offering insight into the island’s biodiversity, geology, and coastal ecosystems. The walk balances steady terrain with varied natural features, making it suitable for anyone comfortable with a longer-distance outing. The experience moves through quiet rural areas, terraced fields, fishing villages, and limestone bays shaped over thousands of years. Transfers are included from anywhere in Malta or Gozo, making the day practical and accessible. Key Details ✨ Duration: 6 hours Distance: Approximately 8 km Group size: Private (1–4 guests) Guide: Fully qualified botanist Transfers: Included (Malta & Gozo; ferry ticket not included) What to Expect 🌿 The tour starts with pick-up from your accommodation, followed by a drive towards the south-eastern coastline. Once on the trail, the botanist leads you along established footpaths atop low coastal cliffs composed of globigerina limestone. This area is known for its erodible ochre-coloured rock layers, which have formed unusual shapes through natural erosion. You’ll walk through quiet agricultural zones, traditional dry-stone walls, and stretches of coast rich in native shrubs and coastal plants, including species unique to Malta. As the route continues, you visit several bays, eroded formations, and scenic viewpoints, including Saint Peter’s Pool and the surrounding rocky platforms. Further along, the walk passes Marsaxlokk and its fishing community, where brightly coloured boats and traditional fish markets remain an important part of local life. There is time for a short coffee or snack break in Marsaskala (food and drinks at your own cost) before completing the circuit. The botanist provides detailed explanations of coastal ecology, plant identification, soils, and the impact of erosion on the landscape. Historical sites such as Fort Delimara and the old salt pans are visited briefly, though the primary focus remains on nature and geology rather than historical interpretation. The tour ends with a return transfer to your accommodation. Location 📍 The walk takes place along Malta’s south and south-eastern coastline between Marsaxlokk and Marsaskala. This region is characterised by low cliffs, terraced agricultural land, and coastline exposed to shaping forces such as wind, waves, and limestone erosion.
