ATV Riding in Gozo: Buggy Tour with Boat RideA full-day buggy tour in Gozo puts you behind the wheel of a fully automatic vehicle to navigate cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean, golden beaches, ancient villages and salt pans dating back to Phoenician times, with a boat ride through sea caves and a guide leading the route. You drive as the primary activity; passengers can join a driver on the same buggy. Pickup runs from Valletta at 8 a.m., and the tour includes transport to and from your accommodation, a safety briefing, and food tasting at a stop along the way. Drivers must be 21 or older and hold a valid license and government-issued photo ID.Is it for me?Book this as a driver if you hold a valid license and want to control the pace through remote cliffs and hidden inlets that regular roads don't reach. Passengers can join a driver on the same buggy, making it a shared experience for friends or family traveling together.
ATV Riding Gozo: Self-Drive 4x4 Jeep Tour from MaltaA self-drive ATV tour in Gozo puts you behind the wheel of a modern, fully automatic UTV for 7 hours, traveling in convoy through remote valleys, sandy dunes and coastal cliffs while a multilingual guide leads the route. Hotel pickup in Malta or Gozo, ferry crossing, a traditional Gozitan lunch, and a reserved boat return to Malta are included; the Ggantija temples and Inland Sea boat trip are optional add-ons. Drivers must be 21 or older with a valid license, and the tour runs as either a day or sunset version with slightly different routes.Is it for me?Choose the day tour if you want the full range of Gozo's landscape—valleys, cliffs, bays and the option to visit the Ggantija temples. The sunset version follows a shorter route and skips the temples since they close in the evening, so pick it if you prefer an afternoon start and want to end with the sail back to Malta as light fades.
Snorkeling in Comino: Full-Day Boat Tour, 4 Swim StopsA 7-hour boat tour around Comino and Gozo with four snorkeling and swimming stops at Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon, Xatt l-Ahmar and Santa Maria Caves. The group stays under 15 people, so the boat moves at a pace that lets you linger in the water instead of rushing between stops. Pickup is from Cirkewwa on Malta or Mgarr on Gozo; the guide speaks English, French or German.Is it for me?Book the Cirkewwa departure if you're staying on Malta; choose Mgarr if you're based on Gozo. The small group size—max 14 people—is what makes the four stops feel unhurried instead of a checklist, so you can actually spend time underwater instead of waiting for the next group to finish.
Gozo: 450cc Quad Bike Rental & GPS MapYou pick up a 450cc quad bike at the garage, get a GPS map loaded on your phone marking beaches, temples, restaurants and scenic spots, receive a safety briefing, and then spend the day exploring Gozo at your own speed with a passenger seat and cargo box included. The driver must be 21–71; passengers must be at least 10. Helmets and third-party insurance are part of the rental.Is it for me?Right for travelers who want to explore Gozo independently without booking a guided tour or waiting for group schedules — the GPS map and self-guided format let you stop, swim, and move at your own rhythm across the island.
Gozo: 4x4 Buggy Tour with Ġgantija & LunchYou're driven around Gozo's main sights in a 4x4 buggy with an experienced driver handling the roads and commentary. The day includes hotel pickup, lunch with local wine, visits to the Ġgantija Temples (entrance separate), the Citadel, Ta' Pinu basilica, and smaller landmarks like salt pans and coastal inlets. In summer months you get a swim stop at Comino, and the return journey to Malta happens by private boat past the Blue Lagoon, weather permitting. Book a few days ahead to confirm your pickup time.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see Gozo's main sights without arranging your own transport or navigating the island's roads — the driver handles both, and the buggy's size keeps the group small enough that you're not lost in a coach full of strangers.
Gozo & Comino: Private Boat, Blue Lagoon Swim, Local DinnerYou’ll swim in Comino’s Blue Lagoon before exploring Gozo by tuk tuk with a local guide, tasting fresh salt by the sea and sharing dinner at a family-run spot in Marsalforn. Expect laughter, stories about island life, hotel pickup included — plus those moments you can’t plan for but remember anyway.
Valletta to Gozo: 45-Minute Catamaran Crossing & Pet-FriendlyYou board at Valletta, sit in a climate-controlled cabin with WiFi and a restroom, and arrive at Gozo's Mgarr Harbour in 45 minutes.

No queues, no surprises — just a fast, straightforward crossing between the two islands.Is it for me?Book this if you're moving between Malta and Gozo and want to skip the long ferry wait — the catamaran's speed and frequent departures mean you travel when it suits you, not when the next boat fills up.
Gozo Quad Bike Hire: Self-Drive 600cc Automatic RentalYou collect a 600cc automatic quad from the Għajnsielem base after a safety briefing, then drive independently across Gozo for 3 to 9 hours, stopping at Ramla Bay, the salt pans, and remote villages whenever you choose. Helmets, full insurance, fuel and a route map are included; free pickup and drop-off happen anywhere on the island, including the ferry terminal.Is it for me?Pick this if you want to explore Gozo on your own schedule without waiting for a group or following a fixed itinerary—the automatic transmission and safety briefing mean you don't need riding experience, and the flexible rental window (3 to 9 hours) lets you move at whatever pace suits your day.
