MALTA NATURE TOURS

MaltaNatureTours.com specializes in organising touristic excursions in Malta related to countryside and nature. The selected tour leaders are graduated in environmental science or agriculture and apart their fluent English, they are selected for their charm and communication skills.

Apart from this touristic service, we have a mission to promote local environment that is much endangered in Malta. Considerable part of the profits from this service will go to sponsor environmental sites needed so much to increase awareness and educate younger generations about the importance to safeguard nature and its habitat. For example, a major part of the sister website - Maltawildplants.com is sustained from these funds. In Malta, policy about environment tends to favour bird hunting, mining of land for building or any commercial resorts. Several species have been lost during the last decade and construction has been growing incredibly fast these last 50 years.

Following last year success, this year we have expanded further the wonderful tour at the North/East coast of Malta known as Mistra and Selmun focusing on Maltese flora thanks to the tour leader Stephen Mifsud, creator and photographer of a digital encyclopaedia about the wild plants of Malta and in possession of a Diploma in Agriculture from the University of Malta among other certificates.

I really enjoyed this tour, observing all these flowers with detailed explanations from the expert tour leader. Despite a bit long, time flied quickly because there is always something new to see, and if not there are some interesting flower to keep our ears listening. The scenery was spectacular most of the way. Pity we got dull clouds at the end.

Olaf and Niklas, Stockholm

Malta is really nice, and this selected area is probably one of the best on the islands. What made the tour superior from others was the tour leader who knows a little of everything and a lot on wild flowers and geography. He also helped me to take some great photos from his keen knowledge on photography and kept us all motivated with his cheerful and explorative manner. There should be more different tours when I come next year!

If I was rich I would buy a farm house in Misstra as I really liked the views and landscape+seascape. I did not know that there are so much different flowers on a small island, including one named for my country (England). The up-slope was quite tough, but rewarded by the views and daffodil fragrance.

Jeremy and Susan, Ireland

This was an enjoyable tour mostly because there was no time pressure. The tour leader gave us enough time to take our photos, have small rests and remove some thistles from our socks. We had to finish at 4:30 but we took till 5:15 due the numerous breaks, mostly because of me and my wife. Despite that, the guide and the rest of the tourists where not angry at us and felt as one big group of friends. The restaurant was great - pity we could not stay more!

Karl & Anna Struber, Austria

I was skeptical about this walk, but my wife carried me with her. It turned out to be the best day of our holiday, thanks also to the fine weather. It made me feel young again and not fond to go back to snowy Austria. The guy organising the walk was very involving to make the best for all the group.

Svetlana, Moscow

While moscow is snow, Malta is full of flowers and warm sun. I got nice red skin from this beautiful walk. Pity I could not understand much English as the guide was full of information to us.
