“Relax there”

Sept 2023

It's a beautiful spot by itself for relaxing and swimming in safe, still waters, notwithstanding that it is touristy...

By Stuart S

“Small boat trip makes it worthwhile”

June 2023

Boat trip through the narrow cave out to the sea to see the coral and inky blue colours of the water is worth it.

Relax there
It's a beautiful spot by itself for relaxing and swimming in safe, still waters, notwithstanding that it is touristy and commercial. The main reason to visit is for the small boat ride through the tunnel, out into the open sea. Unfortunately, on the day we visited the sea was too rough, so the boat ride wasn't operating. I could imagine though that it would be an interesting little journey - and it is cheap. There's also some nice walks for views over the coast.

Great boat trip
We were lucky as the sea was calm enough for a boat ride. The water is incredibly blue, you can see a long way down. Going through the cave was a bit tight, fortunately we made it both ways without getting wet. They only take cash, and they warn you off before going and you pay before you get back to the jetty.

A Hidden Gem of Malta’s Coastline
The Inland Sea in Malta is a magical spot! Crystal-clear waters, stunning rock formations, and the unique tunnel to the open sea make it perfect for a swim or boat ride. The serene atmosphere adds to the charm. A must-visit!

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A FUN BOAT TRIP

Mar 2023

Long ago limestone gave way and sea water rushed in. Thus was born the Inland Sea. It's a 4 euro ride to head out into the open waters to look at some rock formations and colours. Life jackets have to be worn. The whole thing last perhaps a half hour from boarding to disembarking.

geological curiosity

June 2024 • Business

Back in Gozo we also went to the area of Dwejra where once there was the famous arch. Here there is also another geological curiosity because the erosion carved a passage to a depression where the sea entered making a kind of inland lake. The rough sea prevented us from taking a boat trip through the passage.

Absolutely beautiful

Nov 2019

November 2018 (not 2019)

While everyone else walked towards where the Azure Window used to be, I went alone to the Inland Sea. It's a beautiful and quiet area with colored bay doors where (I think) fishing boats are kept. I saw many people practicing with their SCUBA gear, and this is apparently a famous place for beginner and novice divers. There's also a small bar (the name of which, for the life of me, I cannot remember) with nice people. I had a quick beer there while just enjoying the view around me. I could live on Gozo....

Non-operational boat and diving companies

Oct 2023 • Solo

In a beautiful place, although we were left wanting to be able to enjoy it better since the boat companies that day for some reason were not operating (Saturday, perfect and hot weather).
So we couldn't do the typical activity, so be careful if you are going to come here, you have to make sure they are operational... However, it is a nice place to visit.

Lovely safe shallow bay

Aug 2022 • Family

Stoped here for a swim on our full day quad bike tour of Gozo. Lovely safe shallow bay for swimming which is separated from the main sea by a dramatic rock formation. Not a great deal of places for a snack or cold drink, especially at busy times and very limited places to change as there are only loos in the couple of restaurants.
Well worth a visit if on Gozo.

Very beautiful!

Nov 2020

This is such a beautiful spot! You can get a boat and go inside the caves. Just do not make it so late, specially during off season, as the place will be under shade at 4.30/5.
