It may be a tiny island but there are loads of Gozo tours from Gozo itself or starting on the mainland. Here are our top Gozo tours you must check out!

Full-Day ATV Adventure
It was a really hard choice because so many of the Gozo tours below are absolutely amazing but I think this Full-Day ATV Adventure is the best all-around experience. You get to see so much of the island whilst having some serious fun on quad bikes at the same time! Check it out here!
Gozo Tours & Excursions
Gozo is a beautiful gem of an island that you simply must visit when you travel to Malta. It pulled on my heartstrings so much that I chose this as the place to propose to Jade, high on a cliff in the shadow of a lonely watchtower.
If you’re not looking for that romantic aspect then Gozo has everything from diving to ATV adventures and kayaking to guided tuk-tuk tours; there is something here for everyone. Here are our top Gozo tours, handpicked for you to find what you’re looking for.

Before You Book – IMPORTANT
Some of the following Gozo tours (nearly all of them) offer pick-up and drop-off on the mainland, including the ferry across. Please be aware that this will be a significant amount of time on your tour.
For example, if a tour states that it is 8 hours long with pick-up and drop-off on the mainland then getting to Gozo and back again will be a portion of that time. This could be upwards of 2-3 hours.
Therefore, I HIGHLY recommended simply staying in Gozo for a couple of days and starting your Gozo tours and activities on Gozo itself. This will greatly reduce travel time and will lead to a better overall experience in my opinion.
Driving Gozo Tours
Full-Day Jeep Tour
This is one of the most highly rated ways to see Gozo out of all of the Gozo tours on this list. It comes with pick-up from your hotel on the mainland and a private ferry across to Gozo Island so you shouldn’t have to wait for too long once you reach the harbour.
The tour is limited to 5 people per group which immediately makes this a more personal and private experience which is a huge bonus. You will be driven around the island, seeing the best sights that Gozo has to offer with a lunch included in the middle. After the tour, you will be taken back to your hotel on the mainland or Gozo (if that’s where you are staying).
This is the Gozo tour I would choose for people who want the easiest, most relaxing, and most convenient way of visiting Gozo and its many incredible sights. Check out how to book and availability here!

Full-Day Quad Bike Tour
So, you looked at the jeep tour above and you thought to yourself ‘I want that but a little more adventurous!’ Well, here it is. This is a 7-10 hour quad bike tour around rugged roads and incredible sights. Trust me, some of the roads on Gozo require something as capable as an ATV so you’ll be able to see all of the island!
This is one of the Gozo tours that include lunch and tastings so you should have the energy to get through the whole day. On the way back to Malta (on the private speed boat) you will also get to pass by Comino island and get a glimpse at the beauty that has to offer. This is, of course, not included for people staying on Gozo but I think you should spend a whole day on Comino anyway! Check out how to book and availability here!

Where To Stay In Gozo
We ourselves stayed in the very good Bliss Boutique Hotel which was exceptionally good in our opinion. However, if that doesn’t quite tick all the boxes for you then look below at our top four recommendations for accommodation on Gozo.
When To Do Gozo Tours
We think the best time to go to Malta is September/October. This is when the weather is not too scorching hot and the summer crowds have massively dwindled. Check out our entire guide to Malta in October here.
Any time of year in this incredible country is perfect for Gozo tours, however. This beautiful country really does not have a period of time that it is not recommended to come.
Other Things To Do In Malta
Blue Lagoon
I know a couple of the Gozo tours on this list have the Blue Lagoon in them, however, I highly recommend making a day of it if you have not selected one of those tours. It is an absolutely beautiful lagoon that you can safely swim in all day long.
In the high season it becomes a bit of a party so if you love that sort of atmosphere then definitely check it out. On either side of high season, it is a bit more reserved and this could be the best time to relax and swim in the best waters around Malta.
Check out our entire guide to the Blue Lagoon in Malta here or book yourself onto our top recommended Blue Lagoon tour right now!
Valletta Walking Tour
Valletta is easily one of the most beautiful cities that I have ever seen and there is no better way to do it than jumping on the original Valletta walking tour. This insanely highly rates walking tour takes you through all of the best places in the city and teaches you about the incredible history that the streets have to offer. Book your place on the tour here.
Mdina Walking Tour
Mdina actually rivals Valletta in picturesque beauty, mainly due to its incredibly peaceful and quiet streets that almost envelop the walkways that lead around the city. Check out our entire guide to Mdina and its walking tours here!
Popeye Village
A little bit of a turn away from all of the historic significance and picturesque beauty here! Did you know the original Popeye movie (starring Robin Williams) was made in Malta? Well, they kept the set up after it finished and turned it into a water park! It is a great day out for families and we highly recommend a visit. Check out the website here for more information.
Sunset Drink
This is a bit of a local knowledge type of thing that we love to put into our Malta guides. In Sliema Bay, there is a really cool boat called the Guadalupe which is moored down the harbour. It is a great place to grab a drink and snack and watch the sunset into the water. Check out their Facebook page for more information here!
What To Take On Gozo Tours
Gozo tours are very varied but most of them follow the same sort of itinerary. Here is a list of all the items I think you will need on one of these Gozo tours. They all get updated regularly so remember to click through to see prices and local availability.
Our Top Pick
Comfortable water shoes are one of the best things to bring on your trip! They’ll protect your feet from rocks, hot sand and critters, plus having a pair means that you won’t ruin your everyday shoes. These quick-dry beach shoes have one of the best ratings I’ve ever seen! They come in 37 different colours, multiple size options (handy for bigger-footed people like us!) and are super lightweight so don’t weigh down your luggage.
Our Top Pick
If you haven’t already got a swimming costume then what the hell are you doing?! Have a look at this gorgeous high waist bikini and get a swimsuit before you leave. I absolutely love the dual colour option but there are loads of colour options available. Take a look here.
Our Top Pick
If you need some sunglasses then take a look at our recommended pair right here. Kev has just done 7 months without a pair because he couldn’t find any he liked on the trip and it was just a lot of complaining about the sun. Don’t be a Kev… Find out the price of not being a Kev right here.
Our Top Pick
If you’re in the market for an action camera then our current recommendation is the GoPro Hero 9. Yes, the Hero 10 is currently the flagship but it doesn’t have that much more than the Hero 9 and costs a lot more. The front-facing screen is a godsend for selfies and video and you get the famous GoPro durability and stabilisation that they are now renowned for. Check out current deals here.
Our Top Pick
Whether you’re climbing mountains and need a fresh cold drink, or catching an early morning flight desperate for hot coffee, you should be travelling with a Thermoflask! It is incredibly insulated and keeps liquids cold for 24 hours, or hot for 12. It also comes with two lids so you can choose whether you need a straw or just a mouthpiece. These stainless steel bottles are BPA-free and come in some beautiful colours too! Check the options out here.
Our Top Pick
Don’t even think about stepping out in the sun without protection! This factor 50 sun cream from Sunbum is vegan, reef-safe and smells like summer, as well as being dermatologist approved! It’s non-greasy, easy to apply and doesn’t leave a white cast so you can quickly rub it in and get on with your adventures! Take a look on Amazon here.
Our Top Pick
If you’re stuck on what kind of towel to take with you then take a look at this microfibre poncho. We absolutely love ours and it is insanely helpful when you need to change on the beach. They dry fast and pack down super small so you’ll be able to fit one in your day pack easily enough. Check out the price here.
Our Top Pick
If you’re not really planning on doing any major hiking then we recommend that you check out these AKK walking shoes. There are extremely lightweight, breathable and have memory foam insoles to make them super comfy. Don’t make the mistake of spending loads of money on insane walking boots if you don’t need to! Check them out here!
Our Top Pick
If you don’t have a camera then I HIGHLY recommend the Panasonic Lumix ZS70K. It is an affordable point-and-shoot camera that can be picked up and used by anyone of any ability. The camera captures gorgeous images and surprisingly excellent video whilst fitting in your pocket. The main difference between this and your phone’s camera is that it also has an incredible optical zoom so you won’t miss any of the shots you need to take. Check it out here.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Are The Best Gozo Tours?
I think the best way to see Gozo is by jumping on an ATV tour across this tiny island. If you would prefer something a little less extreme then jumping on a jeep tour is a much more comfortable way of seeing the same things.
Are Tours In Gozo Worth It?
As Gozo is off of the mainland, it can be annoying to get over to the island and really make the most of your day trip (if you have not chosen to stay in Gozo). By jumping on a tour, you don’t have to worry about transport and you will ensure you make the most of your time.
What Are The Best Gozo Tours For Couples?
I reckon the segway tours are the best for couples. Don’t ask me why, there is just something about zooming around on a segway next to a loved one that makes me think it would be cool!
What Are The Best Gozo Tours For Families?
For sure the best Gozo tours for families are the jeep tours. You can fit 5 people in the jeep and have a family private adventure all to yourself! Unless there are more than 5 of you!
How Long Are Gozo Tours?
They range from a couple of hours to 10 hours long
How Much Are Tours In Gozo?
The average price of a Gozo tour is around £50-£60 per person but this can vary quite a lot depending on the tour.
