Distant Horizons Malta

Distant Horizons Malta Distant Horizons is a boutique travel agency specialising in tailor-made itineraries. We use our in-depth knowledge to create YOUR unique travel experience.

We have over 32 years of experience in the travel sector and have visited more than 75 countries. Once upon a time many many years ago (31 to be exact) Louise was lucky enough to join the wonderful world of travel after she was offered a job with an agency which specialised in corporate (business) travel. Here she gained a lot of experience in this line of work. In those days you had to actually w

rite a letter or send a telex to make a hotel reservation! In 1996 Louise moved on to another agency which was dedicated mainly to group travel and in 2005 she started working with a company which specialised in individual travel. Here she discovered what turned out to be her dream career - one she was (and still is) passionate about - organising exotic holidays and honeymoons. In 2015 Louise decided to take the plunge and open her own agency which gave her free rein to create holiday and honeymoon adventures which come from the heart. Louise draws on her own travel experiences, having visited over 75 countries and territories (some many times) as well as constant research and paying careful attention to her clients' desires to try and give them a memorable travel experience which will be treasured always. Adventure, wildlife, sports, scenery, expeditions, trekking, culture, history, cruising, relaxation, beach, desert, city life, nightlife, cuisine, local immersion, road trips, phenomena, festivals, voluntourism. All can be woven into a unique travel package. The only limits are time, budget and imagination. There are no other boundaries. As the saying goes... The world is really and truly your oyster. In September 2017 Distant Horizons was proud to become the General Sales Agent (GSA) in Malta for Intrepid Travel, the world's largest small group adventure company, giving another dimension to the possibilities Louise can offer her clients.

More of a water baby? Meet the critters of the Great Barrier Reef with a marine biologist. That’s just the start. From sipping shiraz at family-run wineries to learning about First Nations creation stories, there isn’t much you can’t do Down Under.

In central Portugal, you will find Igreja Matriz de Santa Maria, a church unlike any other. Its façade is entirely covered in azulejos—but not just the usual blue and white. These tiles, added during a 20th-century revival of traditional tile art, depict religious scenes in vivid reds, greens, yellows, and blues. The result is a rare and radiant blend of faith, history, and colour (photos by Mark A. Bailey for Distant Horizons Malta).

Once upon a time........

Once upon a time many many years ago (26 to be exact) Louise was lucky enough to join the wonderful world of travel after she was offered a job with an agency which specialised in corporate (business) travel. Here she gained a lot experience in this line of work. In those days you had to actually write a letter or send a telex to make a hotel reservation! In 1996 Louise moved on to another agency which was dedicated mainly to group travel and in 2005 she started working with a company which specialised in individual travel. Here she discovered what turned out to be her dream career - one she was really passionate about - organising exotic holidays and honeymoons. In 2015 Louise decided to take the plunge and open her own agency which gave her free rein to create holiday and honeymoon adventures which come from the heart. Louise draws on her own travel experiences, having visited nearly 60 countries (some many times) as well as constant research and paying careful attention to her clients' desires to try and give them a memorable travel experience which will be treasured always.

Adventure, wildlife, sports, scenery, expeditions, trekking, culture, history, cruising, relaxation, beach, desert, city life, nightlife, cuisine, local immersion, road trips, phenomena, festivals, voluntourism. All can be woven into a unique travel package. The only limits are time, budget and imagination. There are no other boundaries. As the saying goes... The world is really and truly your oyster.

In September 2017 Distant Horizons was proud to become the General Sales Agent (GSA) in Malta for Intrepid Travel, the world's largest small group adventure company, giving another dimension to the possibilities Louise can offer her clients.
