The experience

You pick up your quad bike from one of five locations across Malta (Valletta at 12:15 pm, Sliema at 12:30 pm, St Julians at 12:45 pm, Buġibba at 1 pm, or Mellieha at 1:15 pm), and ride out with a guide who knows the island's hidden corners. The route follows Gozo's shoreline and countryside as the sun drops, timing the ride to catch the light at its best. A professional guide leads the way and shares insight into the island's quieter, more authentic side as you navigate the terrain yourself.

The quad bike comes with a helmet, full safety equipment and comprehensive insurance (subject to excess), so you're covered from the moment you start. A safety briefing prepares you before you leave, and fuel is included for the whole ride. If you're bringing someone who doesn't drive, they can ride as a passenger in a shared buggy at a lower price, though they must travel with a driver ticket holder.

The day wraps up with a relaxing platter (food and an optional cocktail or mocktail) before transport takes you back to your original pickup point, arriving around 9:15 pm. The whole experience runs about six hours from start to finish.
