Explore Gozo from Malta with a guide, ferry crossing, Ggantija Temples, Victoria’s Citadella, Ta' Pinu, and Dwejra.
“It was excellent! I really enjoyed myself and got to see so many different things. The trip was pretty complete (except for the Ggantija temples), but I was able to stay on the island after the trip using the same ferry ticket. The guide was incredibly informed and I loved learning about everything the island has to offer. The boat trip was spectacular and something I would have never thought of doing without this opportunity. Highly recommend.”

Paddle from Gozo to Comino through sea caves, arches, and quiet coves on a small-group kayak tour with guides and photos included.
“My two teenagers and I had a wonderful adventure with kayaking! Our tour guide, Laura, was a fantastic instructor. We were in a small group with another family of four, and everyone felt comfortable and enjoyed visiting beautiful swim spots, including blue lagoons and small caves. Laura even took lots of photos and videos to share with us right after the tour. All the other staff were very friendly, kind, and helpful. We stayed in Malta for one week, but this was definitely the best experience of our vacation. Thanks again, and we look forward to another day out there!”
Review of Malta’s Gozo jeep and Comino boat tour, with lagoons, caves, salt pans, lunch, wine, transport, costs, and practical tips.
“Although it was initially disappointing that the sailing part of our trip to the Blue Lagoon was cancelled because of the weather, and we had to go by ferry, we did have a very good day on the Jeep tour. Sandro was an excellent tour guide who did his best to ensure that we saw as many sights as possible on the island.”
Kayak from Gozo to Comino, paddle through caves, swim near the Blue Lagoon, and explore Malta’s coast with an attentive guide.
“A very memorable experience that we will remember for a long time. Excellent guide Frank and since we saw other groups, fantastic guides Viv and Andrew. I recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see a little more and peek into the hidden cliffs and take in the Mediterranean Sea. My husband and I had kayaking experience, but my son (24 years old) did not, but he did great. The highlight of our group's trip was a chair found in the sea, which was brought to shore and with it the turtle Tarvo (who was stuck to the chair with a turtle) was rescued. Kayak Cozo, you are doing…”

“Great full day tour! Our guide Charles was very knowledgable, yet light-hearted and funny. Due to weather (it rained a bit in the morning), he switched the program around a bit that allowed us to avoid rain while visiting the Mdina fortifications. He gave us enough time at every stop, answered all the questions. Lunch was provided at the cool restaraunt, food was very good and included red wine. Pick up and drop off transports were on time and used comfortable vans. Great day!”
