The experience

Eight to nine hours means the day starts early (pickups begin at 7:45am from Valletta and other select locations), and ends with the return boat crossing to Malta. The private boat transfer eliminates ferry queues, and the Jeep itself is the reason you reach places a standard tour coach cannot: small country roads wind through Gozo's interior, connecting villages and viewpoints that sit off the main tourist circuit. Your driver is a guide who speaks English, Italian, French or German, depending on your booking.

The stops move between landmarks and landscape. Ġgantija Temples, a UNESCO World Heritage site from the Neolithic era, is optional but central to the itinerary; Qala Belvedere offers views across the channel; Dwejma's dramatic coastal rocks and Fungus Rock anchor the western side. Xwejni's salt pans, a geometric pattern of shallow pools, sit on the north coast, and Xlendi Bay (weather permitting) is a swimming and snorkelling spot. You pass Comino island for photographs of its beaches and caves. Lunch is a three-course meal with starter, main, dessert and drinks, built into the day.

Entrance fees to Ġgantija Temples, the Inland Sea and Dwejma's boat ride are separate and run 20–25 EUR. Food tastings of local products are optional add-ons. The tour suits travelers with moderate fitness. Infants can sit on an adult's lap or use a specialized infant seat, and service animals are welcome.

Is this one for you?The eight to nine hour commitment means you leave early and return by late afternoon, so the tour fills most of a day but leaves the evening free. Choose this if you want to see both the main attractions and the smaller roads and villages a standard bus tour misses, and if the private boat transfer matters more than a cheaper ferry crossing.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, French, German and Italian.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What is the Ġgantija Temples and why is it on this tour?

Ġgantija Temples are the second oldest temples in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site dating to the Neolithic era. They sit on Gozo and are an optional stop on the itinerary, though the tour is built around them as a centerpiece of the island's history.

Can I swim or snorkel during this tour?

Xlendi Bay is a scheduled stop and is a popular swimming and snorkelling spot, though it is weather dependent. The itinerary also passes Comino island, where you can photograph its beaches and caves from the boat.

Why does this tour use a Jeep instead of a larger bus?

The Jeep can travel on small country roads where larger vehicles cannot venture, so the tour reaches hidden corners and villages across Gozo that standard tour coaches skip.

What time does the tour start and end?

Pickups start between 7:45am and 8am from Valletta and other select locations. The full day runs eight to nine hours, so you return to your hotel in the late afternoon.

Is lunch included in the price?

Yes, a three-course meal with starter, main course, dessert and drinks is included. Entrance fees to attractions and optional food tastings of local products are separate.
