Get to know the place

This goes in the opposite coastal direction from the longer Dwejra idea. The operator offers guided kayaking, but the tower-and-cave extent must be agreed as a tailored paddle.

What to see

  • Xlendi Bay
  • Watchtower coastal area
  • Sanap cliff & cave coast

Features and marine-life sightings depend on the agreed route and conditions.

Kayak route idea

  1. Xlendi Bay
  2. Watchtower coastal area
  3. Sanap cliff & cave coast

A tailored kayak route idea based on the operator’s coastal trips and guided kayaking. Its published boat-trip times are not kayak durations. Agree the cave stops, return and maximum extent directly.

Route lines and starting points in the explorer are editorial illustrations, not surveyed tracks.

THE WAY IN

Bay-side operator meeting area; not the separate scuba diving platform.

Read the access reference ↗

Map reference: 36.0300° N, 14.2174° E · Approximate area.

Plan for the day you go

Check the current regional wind and sea outlook, then agree the entry, exit, route and required experience with a local operator. Regional forecasts do not measure cave surge, currents, visibility, water quality or closures.

Cave and overhead access requires an on-site assessment and appropriate training and equipment.
