Highlights
  • Dwejra Bay - Dwejra, with its dramatic coastal formations and sea spilling over the rocks, is a magical attraction. Here you can swim in the spectacular deep sea of the bay, in the calm shallows of the inland sea or in the foamy waters around the Blue Hole – one of Gozo’s top dive-sites.

Dwejra is also home of the Fungus Rock or, as it is locally known, “Il-Ġebla tal-Ġeneral”, General’s Rock. It is so called in remembrance of the Italian General who centuries ago fell to his death while supervising quarrying in the area. History tells us that a special plant believed to have medicinal and healing properties used to grow on Fungus Rock and because of this the Rock used to be heavily guarded during the era of the Knights of Malta. Anyone caught stealing the crop was sentenced to death or to a life rowing the Knights’ galleys. The crop was picked and brought to the mainland using a primitive system of baskets and pulleys.

  • Xwejni Salt Pans - On the north coast of Gozo, just past Qbajjar Bay west of Marsalforn, the coast is characterised by a chequerboard of rock-cut saltpans protruding into the sea. These 350-year-old salt pans, which stretch about 3km along the coast, are more than just scenic. They are part of the centuries-old Gozitan tradition of Sea-Salt production that has been passed down within certain families for many generations. During the summer months, locals can still be seen scraping up the crystals of salt. Once collected, the salt is stored and processed in the caves that have been carved into the coastal rock.
  • Ramla Bay - This is Gozo’s, and arguably Malta’s, best beach. A wide stretch of red sand, it is often referred to locally as “Ramla il-Ħamra” – the Red Sandy Beach! Ramla is a wonderful place to swim, snorkel and chill out in the sun.

The area around the beach is wonderfully undeveloped, although there are a couple of cafes and a stall set back from the beach. The sand dunes are protected and the valley leading down to the bay is green and fertile. The terraced walls built by the farmers give the valley an appearance of a quilt when viewed from surrounding high ground.

There is myth and history here too. Roman remains lie beneath the sands and Ramla Bay is reached from ix-Xagħra, on one of the hills overlooking the valley, or from the village of in-Nadur.

  • Ghasri - Ghasri Valley, or Wied il-Ghasri is a breathtaking, narrow creek that seems right out of a postcard. Ghasri Valley’s narrow cove is approximately 300 metres long with a winding inlet and rugged, impressive high cliffs on both sides and about 100 steps down.
  • Inland Sea - The Inland Sea, sometimes called Qawra in Maltese and also known as Dwejra, is a lagoon of seawater on the island of Gozo linked to the Mediterranean Sea through an opening formed by a narrow natural arch.

It was probably formed where a geological fault in the limestone had created a sea cave and the roof then collapsed.

  • Xlendi Beach, Cliff and Caves - Ix-Xlendi Bay is a popular swimming, snorkelling and diving spot. There is a small sandy beach leading into shallow waters perfect for young and old, while for the more adventurous it is deslightful to swim and snorkel in deeper water off the long stretch of rocks bordering the beach.

Because of its reef formations, ix-Xlendi is an ideal diving site, even for beginners. This is also a typical Gozitan fishing village and well-served with good restaurants, bars and hotels.

A great day out! - We had a perfect day out - from start to finish we had fun. We would highly recommend this quad bike tour of Gozo. Our guide Michael was fun and engaging and very knowledgeable about the island and its history. Sadly we couldn’t take the boat ride but that was because of unusually high winds so out of anyone’s control. A lovely lunch too!! Highly recommended!!

Unique views - Well, it was an amazing experience. The only think I did not like it is about the meeting point. I was there early and even though that me and my girlfriend lost like 20min because the van came and we did not know. The guide, Michael, is very kind, cheerful and funny. I would definately repeat it again. The tour was longer than I though 👌🏻 no complains about it.

Nice experience - The route was beautiful, you can see the whole island with all its features. but it was an Island Tour wirh a quad bike , there were no real or dedicated quad routes. There was also a short boat tour 15 min for 5 Euros where you can see the Caves in the middle of the See.. The Service was very good , we were picked up right a front the hotel on time.. The food and restaurant weren't the best, and It was very early just at the beginning, although the description says otherwise. The tour guides were nice and they gived their best to show us everything.. The organization could be a little better. But at the end it was a very nice experience and highly recommended..
