Discover the Magic of Autumn Kayaking in Malta

As summer fades and autumn rolls in, Malta reveals a whole new side of its coastline... quieter, calmer, and absolutely breathtaking. From October through December, the island transforms into a kayaker’s paradise. At Get Out and Kayak Malta (GOAK), we couldn’t be more excited to share this magical season with you!

Why Autumn is Perfect for Kayaking in Malta

With fewer boats on the water, the sea becomes clearer and cleaner. This gives you the chance to truly connect with nature. Swim zones are removed during this time, meaning the entire coastline becomes our playground, stretching all the way until May.

It’s an opportunity to paddle freely, explore hidden coves, and experience Malta’s stunning shores without the bustle of summer. Golden sunsets, calm seas, and the peaceful sound of your paddle dipping into crystal-clear water; autumn offers a serenity that’s hard to match.

Comfort, Exploration, and Longer Paddles

The air is cooler than in the peak of summer, making it the perfect time for longer and more comfortable paddles. To ensure warmth and ease, we switch to our sit-inside kayak fleet. This gives you a snug and enjoyable ride as you glide across Malta’s waters.

With the added comfort, our tours often go farther during autumn. You’ll discover more of the rugged coastline, hidden caves, and spectacular cliff views. Want to see our kayaks and gear? Click here!

Special Autumn and Holiday Paddles

Autumn is not just about serenity; it’s also about fun! Join our Halloween Paddle, where spooky costumes meet the calm Maltese waters (event page coming soon). Lella was a witch and Turu a zombie in this episode, and in this one, we were pirates!

Looking ahead, our Christmas Paddles are a festive tradition!

What to Bring for Your Autumn Kayak Adventure

To make the most of your paddle, we recommend bringing:

• Light layers to stay warm on the water and spare clothes just in case.

• A reusable water bottle to keep hydrated.

• A hat and sunscreen (yes, the Maltese sun is still strong in autumn!).

• A dry bag for your phone or camera (with protection), because you’ll want to capture these views.

• A towel.
