1.From Malta: Full-Day Gozo UTV Tour with Lunch and Boat Ride

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 4,408 reviews · 8 hours · from $94Our pick

Spend a full day touring Gozo in a six-seat open-air UTV with a local guide such as Benny, George, Godwin, or Connie. Visit the Citadel, salt pans, beaches, villages, and Dwejra, then return by boat through Comino, the Blue Lagoon, and its sea caves when weather allows. Lunch, hotel pickup, ferry tickets, and a swim stop are included.

“Great guides, great tour. Just a bit lack of time, there was always a push to hurry up. And not 8 hour tour, more like 4 hours on place. Lunch was impossible to eat, dry and cold (maybe because we were not in a high season, but in February). But we were always delivered next to the entrance of all objects, so not much walking, suitable for elderly people and families with children. Jeeps were new and best choice to move on island.”
