About this activity

Discovering Gozo Island in Full Day Guided Tour

Spend a full day immersed in the natural beauty, timeless history, and rich traditions of Gozo — Malta’s greener, quieter, and more idyllic sister island. Just a short 20-minute ferry ride from Malta, Gozo feels like stepping into a slower, more peaceful world where ancient sites meet lush countryside and authentic Mediterranean charm.

Your journey begins at the picturesque Mġarr Harbour, where Gozo’s unique character is instantly felt. From there, you’ll travel across the island to discover a selection of its most captivating highlights, starting with the awe-inspiring Ġgantija Temples — a UNESCO World Heritage Site that predates the Egyptian pyramids by over 1,000 years. These massive megalithic structures are shrouded in mystery and legend, believed to be the work of giants and standing as one of the world’s oldest free-standing monuments.

Next, marvel at the spiritual serenity of the Ta’ Pinu Basilica, an iconic landmark of religious devotion and miraculous stories. Nestled in the peaceful countryside, its majestic architecture and moving testimonies make it a powerful stop on your tour.

At Dwejra Bay, nature takes center stage. Famous for its dramatic coastal formations and the stunning Inland Sea, this location offers an optional boat ride through a natural sea tunnel carved by time. If weather permits, it’s an unforgettable way to experience Gozo’s wild and scenic coastline up close.

Continue to a local artisan workshop where you’ll find traditional Maltese lace, filigree jewelry, and hand-crafted souvenirs — the perfect way to take a piece of Gozo home with you. Then head to Victoria, the island’s lively capital. Here, you’ll board a charming trackless train and ride through the heart of the city to visit the imposing Citadel — a medieval fortress with panoramic views and centuries of layered history. Wander through narrow lanes, explore ancient walls, and take in breathtaking vistas from the fortress ramparts.

Your final stop includes a scenic drive past Qala Belvedere, a stunning viewpoint offering uninterrupted views of the Maltese Channel — the perfect way to end a day filled with discovery, culture, and connection.
