Buskett Woodlands Private Walking Tour

Begin your walk in the Buskett Woodlands, Malta’s largest forested area, nestled in the fertile valley of Wied il-Luq near Siġġiewi. Explore rich habitats, from fruit groves to native maquis shrubland, and learn about rare Mediterranean plant life, including Malta’s national tree – the Sandarac Gum Tree.

Enjoy stunning views of the hilltop Verdala Palace, a 16th-century summer residence of the Knights, followed by a visit to Għar il-Kbir, a troglodyte cave system believed to have been inhabited until the 19th century.

Continue to the Inquisitor’s Girgenti Palace, now the Prime Minister’s summer residence, offering panoramic views of the surrounding woodlands and valleys.

From there, the trail leads to the dramatic Dingli Cliffs – the highest point in Malta at 253 meters. Admire sweeping views of the sea, terraced fields, and the island of Filfla, with chances to spot endemic wildflowers and local wildlife. You’ll also visit the cliff-top Chapel of St. Mary Magdalene, built in 1646, and relax near a small hawker stand offering local produce and coffee.
