The experience

What sets this apart is that you're not watching the landscape roll past. You're piloting a sleek three-wheeled Ryker through it. The day starts with hotel pickup and transport to Cirkewwa, then a private powerboat crossing to Gozo (weather permitting) that bypasses the ferry queues entirely. You arrive around 10 a.m., get a full safety and operational briefing, and then spend the next six hours on your own machine, following an expert guide who leads you through Ramla Valley, Ramla Bay, Qala Belvedere, Xlendi Bay, the Saltpans, and Marsalforn. The route also passes Fungus Rock, the Inland Sea, and Ghasri Valley. In summer, there's a swim-stop built into the day, so bring your swimsuit and towel.

You can ride solo on a single Ryker or share one with a passenger. The choice is yours at checkout. Either way, the machine handles the island's terrain with power and control, and you get helmets and hairnets for safety. A 3-course light lunch is included (vegetarian, vegan, and halal options available on request), plus a free food tasting and shopping time. The return journey crosses back to Malta by private powerboat, passing Comino's Caves and the Blue Lagoon on the way (weather permitting), and you're back at your hotel by early evening.

Two optional add-ons are available if you want to extend the experience: entrance to Ggantija, or a boat ride at Dwejra (bring cash if you choose that one). Rykers come with fully comprehensive insurance, though you're liable for the excess if there's damage. The guide is with you the whole time, and safety rules are strict (no racing or overtaking), so this is about the thrill of driving your own machine, not recklessness.

Top questions

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's a Ryker and how hard is it to drive one?

A Ryker is a three-wheeled open-road vehicle that combines power, control, and comfort. It's designed to be ridden like a motorcycle but with the stability of three wheels. The tour includes a full safety and operational briefing before you start, and the guide leads the route, so you follow rather than navigate. No special riding experience is required beyond holding a valid full driving licence.

Do I have to drive, or can I just ride along?

You can book a shared Ryker with a driver and passenger ticket, so you can ride as a passenger if you prefer. Passenger tickets are only available when booked with someone who has a driver ticket, and the price is based on sharing the vehicle. If you book a passenger ticket without a driver in your group, the operator may not be able to accommodate you.

What happens if the weather is bad on the day?

The private powerboat crossing to and from Gozo is weather dependent, as is the scenic return trip past Comino's Caves and the Blue Lagoon. If conditions make the crossing unsafe, the operator will reschedule or offer an alternative. Check the terms when you book.

Is there really a swim-stop, and what do I need to bring?

Summer tours include a swim-stop, so you'll have time to get in the water. Bring your swimsuit, towel, and sun protection. Closed footwear (trainers or hard soles) is required for riding, so pack a separate pair of shoes or sandals for the water.

What's included in the lunch, and are there dietary options?

A 3-course light lunch is included, plus a free food tasting and shopping time during the day. Vegetarian, vegan, and halal options are available on request, so let the operator know when you book if you have dietary needs.

What do I need to bring and what are the rules I need to know?

Bring a valid full driving licence and one additional form of photo ID (passport or ID card). Closed footwear is required: no flip-flops or sandals. A small backpack is recommended for personal items, and a small amount of cash is useful for optional add-ons like the Dwejra boat ride. Children under 5 cannot join as passengers. Safety rules are enforced: no racing or overtaking, and failure to follow the guide's instructions may result in removal from the tour without refund.
