The Experience

“You ever tried prickly pear liqueur?” Mario grinned at me from the driver’s seat as we bumped along some narrow road in Gozo. I hadn’t, and honestly, I was still thinking about the salt pans we’d just seen — all those white lines glinting under the sun, with this weird smell of seaweed and minerals in the air. Our jeep felt like it could handle anything. At one point, I leaned out to snap a photo of Ta’ Ċenċ Cliffs but nearly lost my hat to the wind. The cliffs are massive — you really feel small up there. Mario told us about the birds nesting in the rock; he pointed out a shearwater swooping low over the edge. I didn’t expect to care about birds, but there’s something about seeing them right there that sticks with you.

We stopped for lunch in a tiny village — Fontana maybe? It was quiet except for church bells and some old men chatting outside a bar. The bread was chewy and warm, stuffed with tomatoes and olives, and they poured us local wine that tasted almost salty after all that sun. Our group was a mix — two couples from Germany, a family from France, me solo — but somehow everyone loosened up after that first glass. Mario switched between English and Italian without missing a beat (I tried to say “grazzi” properly; he laughed). We talked about how old Ggantija Temples are compared to Egypt’s pyramids — it sort of blows your mind when you’re standing next to stones older than history class ever made them sound.

The afternoon blurred into golden light as we rolled through Marsalforn and past Xlendi Bay — everywhere you look is just blue water or honey-colored stone. Then came Comino: we swapped wheels for a boat and zipped across choppy water toward the Blue Lagoon. The color is unreal but not in that Instagram way; it’s more like someone spilled turquoise paint everywhere. Some people swam (the water was freezing in May), others just dangled feet over the side or watched fish flicker under the surface. There was this sharp smell of sunscreen mixed with diesel from the boat engine — not exactly poetic but real.

I keep thinking about that moment on Dwejra’s rocky shore when everything went quiet except for waves slapping at stone arches. You get these flashes where you’re not sure what century you’re in anymore. So yeah — if you want a day trip from Malta that feels both wild and oddly personal, this Gozo jeep safari plus Blue Lagoon boat ride does it. Just don’t wear your best hat.
