Set sail for a memorable 2-hour journey along Malta's southern coast with Luzzu Tours’ Sunset Tour at St Peter's Pool and Delimara. This experience invites travelers aboard a traditional luzzu, the iconic Maltese fishing boat, hand-painted in bright hues and crafted with centuries-old maritime tradition. The tour begins in Wied il-Għajn, Malta, a gateway to dramatic cliffs and turquoise coves that define this region. As the boat glides past Marsaskala Harbour and St. Thomas Bay, guests are treated to panoramic views of natural rock formations carved by sea and wind, including the famed natural “Window” near St. Peter’s Pool
The route meanders past the Marsaxlokk Salt Pans, where brilliant golden salt pools contrast with the deep blues of the Mediterranean. Along the way, an English voice-guided narration enriches the voyage with stories about Malta’s fishing heritage, ancient coastal villages, and the cultural symbolism of the luzzu’s protective Eye of Osiris painted on the bow.
From the deck, there’s ample opportunity to capture postcard-worthy photos of rugged coastline and traditional boats bobbing on the waves. With calm seas and good fortune, playful dolphins occasionally join the tour, adding a spontaneous spark of wildlife wonder.
