Adventure in Malta
Including Ahrax Point. On the map.
The vibe
Adventure here leans toward sea‑based thrills—kayaking into sea caves and jumping off modest cliffs gives a rugged, salty rush unlike mountain extreme sports. The summer months provide calm seas and steady winds ideal for these activities. Most participants are independent travelers who rent gear and set out on their own, creating a DIY feel with occasional small groups.

Access. Accessible via Mellieha. Tandem paragliding operators run flights depending on wind conditions, usually launching from the high coastal cliffs.
Notes. Requires favorable north-westerly or easterly wind conditions. Check with local flying clubs before launch.
