ATV Riding in Gozo: Sunset Buggy Tour with Boat TripA six to eight hour buggy tour of Gozo that starts with a boat ride from Malta to Santa Maria Caves and the Blue Lagoon, then puts you behind the wheel of a buggy for scenic drives past Sanap Cliffs, Ta' Pinu Shrine, Xlendi village and Dwejra before sunset dinner at the Xwejni Salt Pans. A driver-guide leads the route in English, Italian, French or German, and the tour includes local Ftira wine and water; a small fee applies for the optional Dwejra boat ride. Hotel pickup and return transport are included.Is it for me?The six to eight hour commitment means you can fit this into a full day without sacrificing the rest of your itinerary, but the boat ride at the start and the sunset dinner at the end lock the timing—early morning departures and late-night plans won't work around it. Book this if you want to drive yourself through Gozo's landscape instead of watching from a passenger seat, and you're flexible on when the day starts and ends.
Snorkeling in Malta: Blue Lagoon, Comino & GozoA four-hour boat tour from Malta takes you to Comino, the Blue Lagoon and three surrounding beaches for snorkeling in clear Mediterranean water.

Malta Fireworks Festival from Catamaran: Grand Harbour ViewsA catamaran tour departing from Bugibba or Sliema that takes you to Grand Harbour, Valletta, for the Malta International Fireworks Festival.

The tour runs 5 hours and operates on select dates during the festival week.Is it for me?Choose the catamaran tour if you want to watch the fireworks from the water rather than fighting for space on shore—you get a clear sightline, room to move, and the natural amphitheatre of the harbour walls as your backdrop. If you are deciding between the four boat options, all of them deliver the same fireworks experience; pick the one whose vessel and onboard comfort level match what you want for a 5-hour evening on the water.
Malta to Comino Blue Lagoon: Roundtrip Ferry & Gozo OptionYou board a ferry that leaves every half hour, reach the Blue Lagoon in under 25 minutes, and stay as long as you want without a fixed return time.
