Discover The Ancient Limestone Quarries And Prehistoric Temples Of Malta On A Half-Day Tour


The tour starts with a visit to one of Malta's oldest quarries which has been transformed into an attraction for tourists and locals alike and which provides a vivid account of one of Malta's leading skills - the use of limestone for building purposes, a skill that goes back thousands of years. This site offers a unique look at the geological and industrial history of the island, showcasing how the landscape has been shaped by human ingenuity over many generations.


The magic of Malta's antiquity will be explained at Ħaġar Qim, Malta's main prehistoric site, overlooking the wide expanse of the blue Mediterranean and the islet of Filfla. These megalithic temples are among the oldest free-standing structures in the world, providing a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the island's earliest inhabitants. Walking through these ancient ruins allows you to appreciate the architectural sophistication and the spiritual significance that these structures held for the people who built them so long ago.


From Ħaġar Qim you will proceed to Wied iż-Żurrieq where weather permitting you can take a boat trip to the Blue Grotto, renowned for its crystal clear waters. The boat trip offers a chance to see the dramatic sea caves and the vibrant colors of the water up close, which are a highlight of the Maltese coastline. Please note that the boat trip is subject to weather conditions and the cost is not included in the tour price, allowing for flexibility in your travel plans.


This half-day excursion is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of Malta's historical and natural beauty. By combining a visit to the limestone quarries, the prehistoric temples, and the stunning coastal scenery, you get a well-rounded experience of what makes the island so special. It is an excellent choice for those who want to explore the rich heritage of Malta in a short amount of time while enjoying the breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea.
