“Great! Stephanie was our guide and she was very knowledgeable and asked if we had any must sees before the tour and made sure we got to see them before the end! The lunch was wonderful and the route was fun and we got to cover a lot of sights in our time! We also did a tasting at one of the souvenir shops :) A great day trip even with the raining weather at one point in the tour.”

Quad-bike Gozo day from Malta with ferry, inland views, swim stop, and a powerboat ride past Blue Lagoon and Comino Caves.

“We had a fabulous day and were well looked after. The links from bus to ship etc were well organised and quick. The quad bike experience was excellent….. great way to see the island! Dinner was average but enough x and was in a super location! The only thing was one bus ride to the boat…. He drove like a Raleigh driver and it was unnerving to say the least. We told him and his response was he was experienced and got us there on time! However the other journeys were fine. Would highly recommend x”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 667 reviews · 7 hours · from $135

Sunset Blue Lagoon swim, Comino caves, and a Gozo quad ride through cliffs and salt pans, finished with a light Gozitan dinner.

“The quad biking tour around Gozo was the highlight of our trip! Our guides, Emilio and Ahmed, were fantastic friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt safe while keeping the adventure exciting. Riding through Gozo on quads was exhilarating, taking us through winding roads, rugged countryside, and stunning coastal views. Along the way, we stopped at beautiful viewpoints and learned about the island’s history and culture. The food was amazing: a traditional Maltese pastry that was warm, hearty, and delicious, plus homemade cookies that were sweet and crumbly.
