Hiking in Malta Malta is a beautiful country to do hiking and trekking along the coast, thanks to "Divers Code" I visited some wonderful places. Alone I couldn't have visited some areas. The routes are different and immersed in wild nature, countryside, wild flora, history and archaeological sites, with breathtaking landscapes... The guide was very prepared, professional, friendly and helpful. It was a fantastic experience.
If you want to know Malta in a different way, surrounded by nature, I recommend the Hiking tours with "Divers Code!".

This is a great introduction to snorkeling in a beautiful place. Honestly you won't see a lot in the water but there a ton of fish. If you are experienced and have a lot of time I'd recommend somewhere else or to try Scuba Diving. But Andrea is incredible

Perfecte eerste keer snorkelen. We boekten 2 dagen op voorhand een halve dag snorkelen. We kregen onmiddellijk antwoord en 2 dagen later werden we stipt op tijd afgehaald op de afgesproken plek.
Het snorkelen was leuk en ook de begeleider was heel aangenaam en vertelde interessante weetjes.
We werden zelfs terug afgezet aan de B&B. Iets wat ze normaal niet doen.
Topervaring!

This was the perfect choice. Guides were both friendly, accommodating, and passionate about delivering a great experience.The only snorkelling trip worth doing in Malta!

Great experience snorkeling on the half day snorkel safari with Pepo! We saw many types of fish and learned so much about Malta from him. Pepo also took us to a cool historic site that was used by Romans to collect honey- interesting to see!

Pazzesco!!! Giovanni, oltre ad essere molto competente e professionale, è riuscito a creare quell'atmosfera di misto avventura-divertimento che vorresti ci fosse ad ogni vacanza! Consigliatissimo, il trekking con lui a Malta è d'obbligo!!!!

We attended this experience in July 2019 and it was a wonderful experience. Andrea is an absolutely amazing host and I recommend him and this experience as he is a true professional. The whole experience is suitable for both experienced swimmers/snorkels and not so strong swimmers (Andrea can give you a balloon to help you swim.) We saw a lot of sea life - if you’re afraid of jellyfish, don’t be! Andrea will protect you 😉

It was nice experience!!
Thank you so much!!!

Andrea's snorkelling tour was a fantastic experience and thoroughly enjoyable. His professional approach to all aspects of the experience were welcome. As a beginner, Andrea was clear and precise in his safety and induction to the day's event. The experience felt unique. I'd certainly recommend taking part in one of Andrea's snorkelling tours. They are suitable for all levels of expertise. It was great fun and something I'd love to do again next time I visit Malta. Andrea was kind enough to give me some great ideas and tips for the rest of my stay in Malta.

Interesting morning, seeing the marine life in the bay. Easy instructions on how to find Andrea, with plenty of free parking about 30 seconds away. If using public transport, the meeting point is a bar so not an issue if you arrive early. Good quality kit to hire if you’ve not brought your own. Very welcoming host and enjoyable trip.

Friendly and professional snorkel guiding I had one really nice day in the northen parts of Malta snorkeling in some nice locations. You get good and personal guiding and good equipment to see some nice snorkeling spots in the Malta.

Was an awesome Day with those Guys, we had some great Views and all of our 10-Person Group would do it again! Snorkeling was just beautiful....Thanks to you Guys for making us such a great day!Everybody who is going for a visit to Malta, you should do this at Divers Code!Cheers from Austria!

I highly recommend this trip, the guide was not only helpful in making sure we had all of the appropriate equipment, but also made sure to explain the hazards involved with snorkeling and the wildlife you may encounter in the waters. He also gave us some history about Malta while traveling to a couple of the interesting locations on the island. It was a wonderful trip and if I could go back, id choose the full day option and experience this longer.

Fun day of snorkeling in Malta Andrea did a great job of taking us on a wonderful snorkeling excursion in Malta. We went to St. Peters Pool in the morning and another location in the afternoon. Andrea picked us up after our Cruise ship arrived at the port and took us to St. Peters Pool for the morning snorkeling. He provided wet suits which were needed in the cool water. I used my own full face snorkel mask. We did see some fish, but in the Med you don't see as many or as big a fish as you would see in the Caribbean or Hawaii. The water was crystal clear and many people were swimming in this area and jumping off of the cliffs. We then had a nice tour of the local area and the markets and had lunch. Then we were off to the second location which was very deep. In that area there were more fish, sea urchins and also and eel that I found on the wall of the port. There were several small boats going in and out of that area taking people on tours so Andrea did a good job of keeping us safe. It was a great experience and we had a fun time.

Andrea was the best tour guide and the snorkeling/tour day he led us on was definitely a highlight of our time in Malta. He was so authentically friendly and knowledgeable. He definitely went above and beyond the whole day. He even suggested things to do after our tour was over!! And the recommendations were better than anything we found on our own! Would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to get the best experience in Malta!

Loved the snorkeling safari and Skin diving sessions!!Staffs are very experienced and friendly!!Snorkeling sites they brought were amazing!!Free from bunch of tourists so we could fully enjoy!Thank you!!

This experience was amazing! Andrea was very friendly and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the things we saw while snorkelling and we were lucky enough to see a lot while doing it. It was a great experience and I would recommend it highly.

Corsa mattutina fantastica, percorrendo luoghi che da sola avrei difficilmente raggiunto.
E in più ottimi consigli pratici per visitare Malta!

Fun! Snorkelling Safari Full Day My partner and I went on the full day snorkelling safari! IT WAS FUN AND WORTH THE MONEY!
Pepo is very attentive. Since I am a bit afraid of water based on past experience, he made me feel safe and gave me enough confidence to enjoy in the sea!
The water is sooooo clear and we saw a lot of interesting marine life! Pepo is very knowledgeable in answering all our questions!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Più di un'immersione Un tuffo immersi nel blu del mare di Malta, divertente e carico di emozioni... non vorresti più risalire.
Un'esperienza unica e sicura grazie al team professionale, competente, disponibile.
Bravi, bravi sti ragazzi!
Da ripetere sicuramente!

Divers Code is a diving school specialized in snorkeling. We had a great experience! Our guide Pepo was very friendly and made sure we got the right equipment and every information we need. He drove us to a beautiful bay that wasn't crowded and had calm conditions, perfect for snorkeling.
We fully recommend Divers Code and would go on a snorkeling Safari with them anytime again (German travelers)

Snorkeling in Malta Hi,
The experience is totally recommended! We are very happy about it! If you want to enjoy Malta from the sea, don’t hetisate to book it. Plus, Pepo is a very friendly guy who will help you with all your doubts.
Jan&Silvia

Very friendly and knowledgeable individuals. A great experience worth having.

World Class Absolutely, one of the best diving companies on the planet. The waters around Malta had been choppy for days but Andrea and Giovanni know every little protected bay around the island. They brought us to flat calm water that was scenic and memorable. Giovanni’s knowledge of Malta as well as its history is second to none, as he provided meaningful insight as he shuttled us from site to site. We were definitely off the beaten tourist path as we moved through the countryside exploring some Malta’s best kept secrets, which included a wonderful local restaurant with amazing food. Highly recommend this company to all levels of snorkeling enthusiasts.

Pepo is very friendly and we spent a wonderful time with him. Beautiful landscapes and a very interesting hike, near the sea, up and down and with lots of information!

I really enjoyed starting my trip to Malta with a run with Pepo. Pepo is an experienced ultra runner who had a well thought out run plan for us. We ran around the outer walls of the city, at sea level (something I never would have figured out how to do on my own) before running through the city. After the run was over, I not only got in a good workout, but I felt like I understood the city and made a new friend. The next day, Pepo checked in on me to see if there was anything he could do to help. That was much appreciated. I highly recommend this experience to any runners visiting Malta.

Best Freediving training and snorkelling around Easy outgoing instructors and great service. Excellent couple of days spend in sea would do it again. Would highly recommend to all.

It was a great experience! Even though it was a first time for me, I felt totally safe and enjoyed my time in the sea. I recommend this to anyone who wants to get a closer look at the sea life with an experienced instructor.

Just so great! There was an introduction about not only the Know-how of the snorkeling but also the possible marine life of the area. During the snorkeling he took really good care of us. Especially for us as beginner, which really bring us a lot of secure feeling and this is the foundation of fun. We saw several different fishes and also one pink jellyfish, but for us, the most beautiful view was the crystal clear sea and the waving dancing sea weeds. 😉

Do it! Excellent! I was trying to pack too much into one week in Malta (because it's that kind of place!) and didn't contact Divers Code until the night before I wanted to go snorkelling, here was response waiting for me in the morning. I wasn't able to join the safari that had already been booked, but communication was excellent and Pepo accommodated me as a single traveller for a couple of hours in Buggiba.
Safe, professional, knowledgeable and great craic ('fun' - I'm Irish!)
The only thing I would do differently would be to prioritise a full days snorkelling safari over anything else.
Highly recommended
Thank you!

We had great fun with Andrea. He was really a pro and made sure that everyone was feeling good during the experience. He also knew about ocean life and showed us interesting details.

Snorkeling in autunno Mattinata emozionante guidati da Andrea in un' uscita di snorkeling.
La sua attrezzatura e le sue istruzioni , unite alla sicurezza che ci ha trasmesso, hanno reso perfetta la nostra esperienza nel mare di Malta anche in autunno.
Da provare !!!

Fantastica esperienza a Malta , posto magico pieno di attività da fare!
Grazie ad Andrea ( Divers Code Malta ) per averci portato in posti mitici lontano dal solito caos turistico dove abbiamo potuto fare snorkeling in tutta tranquillità e sicurezza!

Schnorchel-Safari Haben eine umfangreiche Einweisung bekommen, da wir vorher noch nicht geschnorchelt hatten. Super freundliche, unkomplizierte Leute. Auch der Kontakt für die Buchung war total flexibel, spontan und freundlich. Die Kombination aus Land und Wasser hat uns ebenfalls gut gefallen, da keine typischen Touristen-Ziele angesteuert wurden. Beim Schnorcheln waren wir mit 4 Gästen,die alle vorher noch nie geschnorchelt haben und 2 Guides. Man hat sich immer gut aufgehoben und sicher gefühlt.Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt. Alles in Allem ein gelungener Vormittag!

Lovely chap. Well travelled. Patient. Couldn't ask for more. Well worth giving it a go. If you've got your own fins then bring them but if not Andrea will provide hire for €10. Same applies for a wetsuit if it's cold!
Would recommend to friends!

Honestly, I can’t recommend this experience enough. First, the trail is absolutely stunning. You get to experience the Malta terrain in an intimate way you wouldn’t be able to otherwise. The hike isn’t difficult but works up an appetite, and the views are breathtaking. Pepo is - in one word - fantastic. He’s knowledgeable, fun, and comfortable - just a genuine person to speak with. He’s full of interesting stories and has a great sense of humor. Loved it! A must go!!

5 star snorkelling experience Myself and my parter booked two days snorkelling with Diver’s Code and had the most amazing time. The booking process was smooth and well organised and the team were really helpful.
Pepo, our guide, picked us up from our hotel for our first day snorkelling in Gozo and was really welcoming and professional.
On the way to the snorkel site, Pepo pointed out important landmarks and told us about the history of the area, and was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable.
We had our own snorkels, masks, and fins, and Pepo had asked in advance for our sizes so he could have wetsuits ready for us. He bought two sizes along so, when the larger size didn’t quite fit, he suggested I try the other one which did. He was keen for us to be as comfortable as possible in the water and his forward planning meant all our equipment was perfect.
But, feeling comfortable isn’t just about what you wear and Pepo gave us a detailed briefing before getting in the water, putting us totally at ease. He told us about how to wear our masks so they were less likely to leak; how to stop them fogging; and how to clear your mask if a bit of water did get in. He demonstrated everything, and this knowledge made for a much more enjoyable snorkel as we knew all the tips and tricks in advance. He also showed us pictures of fish we could expect to see, so we would know in advance what to look out for, and told us about the area we would be snorkelling in.
I was really very nervous before we started about sharks and jellyfish, but after 5 mins talking to Pepo I wasn’t worried at all. He put me completely at my ease. When we did see a jellyfish, I didn’t worry as Pepo had told us about their behaviour and pointed out it was very unlikely we would see anything harmful.
Pepo tailored the trip to our abilities and let us set the pace.
An added bonus was Pepo’s amazing freediving skills. He often went under the water to point out things that were trickier to see, or to bring up interesting shells for a closer look.
What I thought was particularly good was the buoy Pepo carried with him. This meant that we were always safe and visible in the water, and could have held on if we needed a rest. It really came in useful when my mask slipped a bit and I could hold on to sort it out (he also keeps a spare of everything in the buoy in case anything goes wrong mid-snorkel).
Between the two snorkel sites Pepo took us to a brilliant bakery on Gozo, and showed us some Roman salt pans too. It was more than just a snorkel experience as we also got to try typical local food, and find out about more about the islands and their history.
We were so pleased we booked a second day. On that day the weather wasn’t great (it was quite windy) and we were a little concerned the trip would’t go ahead. However, Pepo knows Malta incredibly well and took us to areas that were very sheltered and you couldn’t tell it was windy. He also tailored the day so we had a longer snorkel on the morning, in case the wind picked up in the afternoon.
We felt that this was an amazing team that went above and beyond to ensure we were happy, and felt confident and safe. Everything they did was to make sure we were happy and having a good time. Malta snorkelling is beautiful and Pepo knows the islands incredibly well and really shared his passion and enthusiasm. We would 100% recommend to anyone thinking of booking with Divers’ Code.
Very Fun, very safe, knowledgeable guide, amazing experience. We know we’ll be back before too long.

We had a really (really) good day with this professional and funny staff ! They made us discover wonderfull diving spots with some entertainement on board (luch, music, drinks...). The little bonus : They took undersea pictures and sent them for free! I recommand them a lot !

We had a really good time with Pepo. The snorkel safari is an exciting adventure. We could see many of the underwater world of Malta.

Great day of snorkeling! Super friendly, knowledgeable and great mix of local site visits and time in the water.
Picked us up and dropped us off in valetta at no extra cost too!
Highly recommend! 👌

Great guided snorkelling Andrea took us on a guided snorkelling (half day). He was very laid back and friendly and made us feel very comfortable. It was our first time snorkelling and he made sure we were okay. We were taken to a great snorkelling site, as well as some cool places on the land that aren't very touristy which we wouldn't have got to see otherwise. The trip was very enjoyable and great value for money.

Hands down the best day I had while holidaying in Malta.From start to finish Marco was accommodating,professional and most importantly, a lot of fun to hang out with.Did the full day snorkel safari and enjoyed every second of it. Very reasonable price for what you get,highly recommended.

Snorkeling a Malta con Giovanni Bellissima esperienza di snorkeling a Malta con Giovanni. Bravissimo e attentissimo. Ci ha fatto divertire e ammirare i bei fondali marini sempre in sicurezza non perdendoci mai di vista. Eloquente la sua spiegazione dell attrezzatura fornitaci. Ottima la scelta della location dove effettuare l attività. Esperienza che consiglio a tutti. Fidatevi di Giovanni. Divertimento assicurato.

This was amazing.
I booked at the last minute and Andrea manage to squeeze my son.
He is 10 yrs old and he well looked after him.
Elijah was really please but so sad that he didn't manage to get pictures.
So he can't wait to receive some.
It was so great and Andrea is just too amazing and wise.
Thumb up fo you Dear. You are good.

Truly fantastic tour with a knowledgable and charismatic host. Pepo’s client-tailored tour is a great way to survey some of the most interesting points in Malta, all while getting your hike on. The hike itself was appropriately challenging and interesting information and history were provided along the way. Pepo also went above and beyond by providing insider tips about Malta and offered many conveniences to make the hike a breeze from start to finish. This gem of a guided hike is not to be missed!

Amazing experience and host! Pepo is very knowledgeable about Malta and guided me through some places I could never find by myself. During the run we could talk a lot about the historical facts and the actual facts of Malta, he made few curious and informative stops in some strategic and very beautiful parts of the circuit. Pepo also gave me very interesting tips about what do and what do not do in Malta. As a bonus I got a ride home with him, listening to a fantastic Rock and Roll soundtrack!!!
I strongly recommend this experience for all runners that are visiting Malta.
Thank you very much Pepo and hope to see you again ‍♂️

Fantastisk oplevelse Vi havde booket heldags snorklingtur. Vi var to voksne og to børn (7,10). Børnene havde ikke snorklet før, og vores plan var at lære dem det. Vi kontaktede Divers Code, og alt fungerede perfekt fra første kontakt til sidste. Både Andrea og Pepo som fulgte os på turen, var meget fokuseret på at give os den bedste oplevelse som muligt. Sikkerheden blev vægtet meget højt, hvilket gjorde os forældre trykke. Vi snorklede 2 forskellige steder, og så dybe kløfter, flotte sten, mange forskellige havplanter, samt et væld af fisk. Vi var så heldige at se en lille rokke, hvilket var meget sjældent. En stor tak til Pepo og Andrea, jeg kan kun på det varmeste anbefale Divers Code, Claus

Perfect activity to relax I had an amazing time traveling around the island learning about the history and the geology which makes up the islands coast and caves. The weather & water was clear and warm which made it perfect for viewing the sights. This is a great activity to just relax and swim around looking at fishes and other marine life.
Andrea was an amazing guide and I could not have had a better day.

HIghly recommended Andrea (the owner) was awesome! Very friendly, courteous and amazing customer service. We snorkeled with Divers code in the last week of September.
Super accommodating and helped our 3 year old snorkel and have a great time. The first attempt did not work out because of weather conditions. Andrea drove us all the way to the snorkel site and this was a last minute decision, but he did not charge us anything. We went with friends in a couple of days and he was super helpful.
Highly recommend Andrea for snorkeling in Malta.

Fantastic free diving / snorkeling In Malta you can be spoilt for choice with 3 main diving options.
1. There are boats traveling all over advertising snorkelling, but if you want to snorkel these trips are not good, no advice or help. The locations are generally unsuitable for snorkelling.
2. There are plenty of dive centres but these are built around scuba not free diving or snorkelling.
But there is however one place (divers code) which caters for only of snorkelling / free diving. Also thrown in depending what you want / book is a trip to local sites of interest. The guy that took me out, Marcus was very good. he is an experienced free diver / scuba diver. I could not recommend it enough. I had a great time. He caters for learners and experienced free divers. You will be taken to the best locations and if the tide / wind is not right he will simply take you somewhere else that is right.
Marcus also filmed myself and the others free diving efforts which he then gave us all a copy of.
Wish I was in Malta longer because a 3 day free diving course was available, which next time I will be doing.
Prices are good, more than a boat trip (200+ ppl) but you get what you pay for. Marcus only takes 4-5 ppl max.

Wonderful Snorkelling Safari What a wonderful experience this was. Andrea our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and patient with us as we explored the stunning Anchor Bay. The instruction was spot on and I couldn’t recommend this high enough.
Don’t even bother looking elsewhere!

Schnorchel Safari Der Trip mit unserem italienischen Guide war wirklich ein Erlebnis. Nachdem wir einen Tag zuvor angerufen haben, wurde die Tour absolut inividuel für uns angepasst am folgenden Tag durchgeführt.
Das Tolle daran war, dass die Gruppen (max 6 Personen) sehr klein sind und der Guide sich wirklich persönlich um jeden einzelnen kümmern kann.
Für die Einführung ins Schnorcheln ließ er sich genügend Zeit, um auch Beginnern ein gutes Gefühl für den Start zu geben.
Nachdem wir eine Tour gemeinsam festgelegt haben, hat uns der Guide nicht nur zu sehr entlegenen Stellen gebracht - wir haben nebenbei auch noch eine kleine touristische Führung durch Malta bekommen. Das hat wirklich Spaß gemacht.
Neben dem Schnorcheln an wirklich tollen Orten blieb immer genügend Zeit für Pausen und zum Verschnaufen. Eine Tour, die wir hier jederzeit wieder mit Freude buchen würden.
Auch die Abholung und der Rücktransport direkt vors Hotel funktionierte absolut perfekt.
Ein tolles Team !

Mooie wandeling langs veel en diverse historische plekken en door mooie natuur. Geheel over onverharde paden. Goede toelichting en mooie uitzichten. Omdat op Malta wandeling vaak slecht staan aangegeven, is dit een deel wat handig is met gids te doen.

Best day of our holiday, really glad we did this Two friends and I booked a full day snorkeling safari in Gozo with Diver's code. Our instructor, Pepo, picked us up at our hotel, knew the best places to go taking into account weather and sea conditions, made sure we were comfortable in our gear, and was just really accommodating all around. He also took us to a great place for lunch, that we would have missed otherwise. All three of us really enjoyed this experience and appreciated that it was in small groups (actually, it was just us in our case). We saw some interesting marine life (a small stingray, a rainbow fish, ...) and beautiful underwater scenery. Much recommended!

Loved it ! I did the snorkelling safari, and it was definitely the highlight of my week in Malta. It was just the guide and myself. He was very professional and made sure I felt safe and comfortable the entire time. At the same time it was all very relaxed and a bit like having a friend take me out for the day. First we went snorkelling in front of where the Popeye Village is. This spot itself was amusing and stunning at the same time. The water visibility wasn't fantastic, but it was calm enough to get in close to the rocks and have a good look around.
We drove to another place (sorry, don't know the name), stopped for some lunch. After we drove a bit further, parked up and walked up a hill. The guide showed me this amazing spot, it was probably a cave at some stage, but now it was a beautiful spot where some people (not me) choose to jump into the water. We instead walked back down and snorkelled around. Thankfully the current wasn't too strong so we were able to do this. Snorkelling into this 'open air cave' was just amazing. It was the most beautiful spot I've even been in the water. I couldn't wipe the smile off my face.
After we snorkelled back, my guide drove me back to my hotel. I was tired, (sunburnt) but absolutely buzzing. Thank you again. Those memories will be safely stored away.

Perfect day Was one of our best days in Malta. Very nice and friendly man who showed us some of Malta's undiscovered spots. It was our first time snorkeling so he gave us a clear explanation and made sure we were comfortable at all times. He took us to 2 beautiful snorkeling spots. Would definitely recommend. Special thanks to Pepo. Greetings from Belgium.

A fantastic morning with stunning views, away from all tourists. A trail run mixed with walking where the host really listened to my running experience to make the time perfect for me. Big bonus with the transportation by car to and from The Ghajn Tuffieha Bay. Highly recommended!!

Highly recommend this experience with Andrea. It has been the highlight of my time in Malta.
Andrea is very experienced and was superb when leading the snorkelling. Knowledgable and friendly. Andrea also provided great equipment to use.
Wonderful experience 🙂 and exceptional value for money.

Highly recommended experience even if it is the first time snorkeling! I really enjoyed it! Andrea is very professional, friendly, patient and helpful. He explains everything and really pays attention to you during the snorkeling experience, making sure that you are all right in every moment. The groups are also small what allows to get a more personalised attention and a good interaction with the rest of the members. Had a lovely time with this activity and felt in good hands.

Best snorkelling experience in Malta A great day out with Andrea and Pepo, if you are looking for an all encompassing snorkelling experience then the divers code is the winning choice. For first time snorkelers, Andrea and Pepo did everything to make sure we were comfortable and safe both in the water and out. What’s not advertised is their great local knowledge of both dive sites and the surrounding areas. We did the half day snorkelling safari tour Malta due to the weather but our only regret is that we could not spend the entire day in the company of these two great people. @Andrea and Pepo if you ever in South Africa please reach out.
