Traveler reviews
The experience
You're picked up from your hotel and driven to Gozo, where the quad bikes and helmets are waiting. The tour runs as a convoy behind a skilled leader, which means you follow a set route but you're the one controlling the bike across the terrain. The ride covers dramatic coastal formations at Dwejra (where you can see the Fungus Rock and the Blue Hole dive site) salt pans that have been worked for 350 years, and Ramla Bay, a wide red-sand beach that's rarely crowded. You'll also pass through Ghasri Valley, a narrow creek with 100-meter cliffs on both sides, and stop at Ix-Xlendi Bay, a fishing village with restaurants and a rocky shoreline for swimming.
Lunch happens partway through the day, and in summer you'll have time to swim at one of the stops if you bring swimwear. The route takes six hours total, and the terrain is rough enough that you need to be comfortable handling a quad bike, but the operator says it suits all fitness levels. The pace is set by the group, not by speed. Drivers need a valid license and a second form of photo ID. Provisional licenses don't count. Passengers can ride along if they're with a driver, and children from age 5 can join as passengers if supervised by an adult.
At the end of the ride, instead of driving back to Malta, you board a private boat at Gozo. The return crosses through Blue Lagoon and passes the sea caves of Comino before reaching the mainland. The boat ride is weather-dependent, so in rough conditions the operator may arrange an alternative return. Your quad bike, helmet, hairnet, insurance and guide are all included. Lunch and a food tasting are part of the day. Entrance fees to the Inland Sea and the boat ride itself are optional add-ons you can choose at checkout.
Is this one for you?Book this if you want to operate the vehicle yourself rather than watch from a seat: the quad bike puts you in control across terrain that roads don't reach, and the boat return means you're not retracing the same route back. Drivers must be 21+ with a valid license. Passengers can tag along if they're with a driver and are over 5 years old.

Top questions
Can children come?
Yes. Ticket types: Youth (5 to 20 years). Children under 5 can't be included in the booking.
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.
Can I ride a quad bike in Gozo if I've never done it before?
Yes. The tour is led by a skilled guide who sets the pace for the convoy, and the operator says it suits all fitness levels. You do need to be 21+ with a valid driver's license and be comfortable controlling the bike across rugged terrain, but no prior quad experience is required.
What happens if the weather is bad on the day of my tour?
The quad riding goes ahead in most conditions, but the private boat return to Malta through Blue Lagoon and Comino caves is weather-dependent. If conditions are unsafe for the boat, the operator will arrange an alternative return route.
What are the salt pans I'll see along the coast?
The salt pans near Marsalforn stretch about 3 kilometers along the north coast and date back 350 years. Locals still harvest sea salt from them during summer months, scraping up crystals and storing them in caves carved into the coastal rock. It's a centuries-old Gozitan tradition passed down through families.
Is the boat ride back to Malta included in the price?
The private boat return through Blue Lagoon and Comino caves is included in the tour. Entrance fees to the Inland Sea and the Dwejra boat ride are optional add-ons you can choose at checkout.
What should I bring for a full day of quad riding?
Wear flat shoes or trainers and bring a small backpack. In summer, bring swimwear and a towel because you'll have a swim stop at one of the beaches. In winter, bring a rain jacket. The operator provides the helmet and hairnet.
