Adrenaline Activities
The Migra 150 whisks daredevils down a one hundred and fifty-metre (as the name suggests) stretch of coastline nearly fifty metres above sea level, spanning from clifftop to clifftop. Not one for the faint-hearted. Take it up another level with a freefall experience. Jump from a twenty-metre high platform and freefall before the harness slows your descent to land on solid ground (with shaky legs!).
Malta’s towering cliffs and rocky hillsides also provide ample opportunities to test your upper body strength. With more than 1,300 named climbs throughout the islands, from beginner routes to ultra-challenging crags, Malta is a haven for rock climbers and boulderers. If you’re new to the sport, book in with Gozo Adventures who’ll show you the ropes, but if you’re an avid climber, you might prefer getting some hints and tips from the Malta Rock Climbing Club instead.
But what goes up, must come down, so abseiling in Malta is also on the agenda. This extreme sport is commonplace in Ghar Lapsi, Dwejra, and the Mosta Valley.
Getting your pilot's license requires spending hours in the cockpit and classroom, learning the challenges and intricacies of handling a modern aircraft. But in Malta, you can get behind the controls of an airplane on your very first trial flight, giving you a sense of what it takes to become a real pilot.
Thanks to its fantastic weather all year round, Malta is an excellent place to learn to fly. Of course, most visitors won't be there long enough to actually earn their full pilot's license, but even on your first trial run, you can get a chance to take over the controls of a plane, maneuvering it across the skies.
There are a surprising number of flying schools to choose from — such as Buzz Flying — many of which offer test flights for a nominal fee. Those flights provide a fantastic view of the islands below, not to mention the incredibly blue waters of the Mediterranean as well.
