Discover Gozo’s coastline, countryside, and heritage sites in one full, easy-going day, travelling in chauffeur-driven 4x4 UTVs with space for up to five guests per vehicle. This full-day experience combines village backroads, coastal viewpoints, landmark stops, and an afternoon Comino mini cruise, so you see far more than you could on a standard coach tour. With hotel pick-up, lunch, and all land and sea transfers included, it’s a simple way to cover a lot of ground without worrying about logistics or navigation.
Your day starts with a morning pick-up from your hotel or nearest meeting point on Malta and a short transfer to the departure point for the Gozo crossing. Depending on sea conditions, you’ll travel by private boat reserved for guests or via the Gozo Channel Ferry, with tickets included either way. On arrival in Gozo, you’ll meet your driver and board your 4x4 UTV, joining a small convoy led by multilingual tour leaders. Each vehicle seats up to five guests, so you travel in comfort while your driver handles all the narrow lanes, backroads, and hill climbs.
The land itinerary links together many of Gozo’s highlights while still using country routes and coastal roads where possible. Typical stops include Sanap Cliffs for wide sea views, Xlendi Bay and cliffs (viewed as you pass), the historic Knight’s washhouses at Fontana, and Victoria’s Citadel, where you can explore the fortified hilltop and its lanes. In Xagħra you have the option to enter the Ġgantija Temples (ticket extra) for those who want a deeper dive into Gozo’s prehistoric past. Later, you continue to Dwejra Bay to see the Inland Sea and coastal formations, with an optional small boat trip inside the bay (extra fee, weather dependent). The route also passes key landmarks such as the Ta’ Pinu Basilica, Xwejni salt pans, and coastal areas around Qbajjar and Marsalforn. A light lunch with a glass of local wine or mineral water is included en route.
In the afternoon, and provided conditions are suitable, you’ll switch from land to sea for the Comino mini cruise. A private boat will take you around the coastline of Comino, passing the Blue Lagoon with its clear cyan water, Crystal Lagoon with its protective cliffs, and the Comino sea caves carved into the rock. In the main summer season, the schedule usually includes a swim stop of around 30 minutes in one of the lagoons or a sheltered bay in Gozo if conditions at Comino are unsuitable. After the mini cruise, you return to Malta by private boat or ferry, then transfer by minivan back to your original pick-up point, completing a full day that blends island touring with time on the water.
This experience links three key areas: mainland Malta, Gozo, and Comino. Pick-up is available from a wide range of hotels and central meeting points across Malta, making the start and end of the day straightforward even if you are not based near the ferry terminal. The initial transfer takes you to the departure point for the Gozo crossing, where you travel either on a private boat dedicated to tour guests or on the scheduled Gozo Channel ferry, depending on conditions and operational needs.
Once in Gozo, the focus is on exploring the island itself rather than just passing through on the way to Comino. You’ll travel through villages such as Victoria, Xagħra, Fontana, Għarb, and Marsalforn’s coastal area, plus rural valleys and cliff-top roads that many standard tours miss. The Comino mini cruise at the end adds a different perspective, allowing you to see the Blue Lagoon and Crystal Lagoon from the sea and, in summer, to get in the water at one of the archipelago’s best swimming spots before returning to Malta.
This tour is graded easy and is suitable for most travellers with basic mobility who can step in and out of UTVs and small boats unaided. There is no self-driving involved: all UTVs are chauffeur-driven by experienced drivers who handle all road and track conditions. You should, however, be comfortable sitting in a vehicle for extended periods over mixed terrain, with frequent stops at viewpoints and sites to stretch your legs, explore, and take photos. Foldable strollers are allowed, but the tour is not wheelchair-accessible and is not recommended for guests with significant mobility impairments.
The mini cruise and any optional boat trips are subject to weather and sea conditions, and the tour is not recommended if you are very prone to motion sickness. A light lunch is included for all paying guests except infants under 3; if you have dietary requirements, it’s a good idea to flag them when booking and carry some suitable snacks just in case. You will also need to confirm your exact pick-up time and location with the organiser a few days before departure, as morning pick-ups are staggered between approximately 8:00 and 9:20 depending on where you are staying.
This full-day package is designed to showcase as much of Gozo and Comino as possible without making you feel rushed or overwhelmed by logistics. All driving is handled by professional UTV chauffeurs, and all crossings and transfers are organised for you, so you can concentrate on the scenery rather than maps and timetables. The mix of key landmarks such as the Citadel and Ġgantija, coastal sites like Sanap Cliffs and Dwejra, and working landscapes such as the Xwejni salt pans gives you a broad sense of the island in a single, well-structured day.
Because the UTVs operate in convoy with multilingual tour leaders, you get clear storytelling and context at each stop while still enjoying the feel of a small group travelling together. The added Comino mini cruise and potential swim stop mean you are not just sitting in vehicles all day: you finish with time on the water and a chance to cool off in a bay rather than heading straight back to Malta. For guests who want a single, well-organised day that covers Gozo’s highlights, includes island backroads, and finishes with a coastal mini cruise, this tour brings everything together in one straightforward booking.
