Excursions

Treasure Hunt and Zip Line

Discover the beauty of Malta on a treasure hunt against the clock. Later, you’ll get to see the country from a different point of view when you have a go at zip lining! Your team will receive a full safety briefing before the activity.

Abseiling and Archery

Malta’s warm climate and ever-present sunshine make it the ideal location to try your hand at abseiling! Of course, you’ll receive a full safety briefing before you’re let loose on the cliffs! End the day with a more sedate but no less thrilling activity by having a go at archery.

Outdoor Laser Tag

Outdoor LaserTag is a hybrid of paintball and indoor laser tag. The wireless LaserTag equipment is state of the art and can hit a target up to 350 meters away. Players are placed on special teams and have specific functions, duties, roles and titles. On the first mission you might be in command of a team escorting a high ranking official and the next mission you might be a sniper hiding in the woods. Regardless of your role, the game of outdoor laser tag will exceed your expectations.

Kayaking, Snorkelling and Rock Climbing

With some of the cleanest and safest waters in the Med, Malta is the perfect place to try kayaking and snorkelling. The country also has many rock climbing routes ideal for all skill levels.

Beach Games

With Malta’s many beautiful beaches, it would be a shame not to spend some time on them! Your sporty group can expend any pent up energy by getting stuck into some beach-based games, such as volleyball, ‘Whacky Races’ and ‘Water Transporter’. All equipment will be provided.
