6 Ultimate Eco-Friendly Travel Tips for Exploring Malta and Comino Sustainably

General

As Malta continues to grow in popularity as a must-see destination, it’s becoming increasingly important for both visitors and locals to practice eco-friendly travel. With breathtaking landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and an abundance of wildlife, Malta, especially around Blue Lagoon and Comino, offers natural beauty that needs to be preserved for future generations.

At Bluewaves Watersports, we’re passionate about protecting the environment, and we want to share some tips to help you enjoy your trip to Malta while minimizing your environmental impact.

1. Choose Eco-Friendly Transport Options

If you’re planning to visit Comino or the Blue Lagoon, opting for eco-friendly transport is a great start. At Bluewaves Watersports, we pride ourselves on operating the latest technology engines in our boats, designed to be fuel-efficient and reduce emissions. We’ve worked tirelessly to ensure our fleet is not only efficient but also aligned with our values of sustainability. By choosing our services, you’re already making a more environmentally responsible choice.

2. Respect Local Wildlife

Malta’s waters are home to a stunning array of wildlife, including fish, dolphins, and birds. We’ve worked closely with BirdLife Malta, a leading conservation organization, to help protect and conserve the local bird population. While we learn, this allows us to also educate our clients on the importance of respecting the island’s rich birdlife, particularly around Comino.

During your time with us, whether on one of our boat rides or cruises, we kindly ask all visitors to observe wildlife from a distance and avoid disturbing their natural habitats. Respect for the environment is key to preserving the island’s delicate ecosystems.

3. Leave No Trace

One of the simplest yet most impactful things you can do is follow the “leave no trace” principle. Avoid littering, and whenever possible, pick up trash you may come across during your visit. Our team at Bluewaves Watersports encourages clients to help keep the waters and beaches around Comino clean by carrying reusable bags and properly disposing of waste.

4. Support Local and Sustainable Businesses

When visiting Malta, supporting businesses that prioritize sustainability helps boost local economies and preserve the environment. Our location in the north of Malta, opposite Comino, is close to agricultural land and home to two resorts. This makes it an ideal place for those who want to experience both the natural beauty of the land and the marine life in the surrounding waters. By choosing local businesses that are mindful of their environmental impact, you help foster sustainable tourism.

5. Opt for Reusable Items

Another small yet powerful way to make your trip to Malta more eco-friendly is by using reusable items like water bottles, tote bags, and eco-friendly sunscreen. Plastic waste is one of the biggest threats to our oceans, and small actions like reducing single-use plastic can make a big difference. Before heading out on one of our boat rides or cruises, pack a reusable water bottle and avoid bringing disposable plastics.

6. Educate Yourself and Others

Sustainability isn’t just about what you do during your visit—it’s also about what you learn and share with others. At Bluewaves Watersports, we’re not just committed to protecting the environment; we’re also dedicated to educating our clients about it. Whether it’s sharing tips on responsible tourism or informing you about ongoing conservation efforts, we believe that spreading awareness is key to long-term change.
