10. St. Paul's Island, also known as Selmunett, is a small island off Selmun, near the north-east of the main island of Malta. St. Paul's Island is sometimes split into two islands by a shallow isthmus, and it is therefore sometimes referred to in the plural as St. Paul's Islands. St. Paul's Island has been uninhabited since World War II, and it is the second largest uninhabited island in Malta, having an area of 0.1 square kilometres. The Acts of the Apostles tell the story of how Paul the Apostle was shipwrecked on an island, which Chapter 28 identifies as Malta, while on his way to Rome to face charges in 60 AD. Traditionally, St. Paul's Bay and St. Paul's Island are identified as the locations of this shipwreck. In 1844, a prominent statue of Saint Paul was erected on the island.

• 2We didn't do a round trip.

  It should be a round trip but the captain decided to do only half due to the wind. This is expensive than others because it took a round trip so we should get refund for not doing it.

• 5Great Boat & Staff

  Well kept boat with friendly staff and not too crowded. Good quality lunch and free drinks (during lunchtime only). Drinks prices outside of lunchtime were reasonable. Good audio commentary whilst cruising past places of interest. All in all an excellent day out and value for money.

• 5Round Malta Cruise with lunch and blue lagoon

  The boat and crew were great. It was a nice sunny day and everyone was relaxing. Cold drinks allowed all through the day and lunch was served, containing of salad/pasta. Swimming in the blue lagoon was lovely and you could walk round the island. On the way out the sea was very choppy and I suffered from sea sickness, but the crew were very helpful and lovely and looked after me well. Thank you to the crew on hera 2.

About Mellieħa

Mellieħa is a hillside village at the north-western end of Malta, above one of the island's longest sandy beaches, with sea views towards Gozo.

Mellieħa stands on a ridge at the north-western end of Malta, the last sizeable village before the ferry crossing to Gozo. Close to its parish church, a sanctuary to the Virgin Mary that began as a natural cave has drawn pilgrims for centuries, and the Red Tower, a seventeenth-century watchtower, stands on a nearby hill. At the foot of the ridge, Għadira Bay curves around a wide, shallow beach, one of the longest on the island.
