The 15 Best Gozo Day Trips from Malta

93 tours  ·  from $18 a head

The ferry is twenty-five minutes and the island deserves longer than the day you will give it. These 15 sort the jeep tours, the quad days, the temple trips and the boat-and-bus combinations by what they cost and how much of the day is spent moving.

2.Gozo, Comino, Blue & Crystal Lagoon, & Caves Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 5,092 reviews · from $34

Join Captain Kevin and the Hornblower crew for a seven-hour cruise from St Pauls Bay to Comino and Gozo. Swim at Blue Lagoon, see Santa Maria and Crystal Lagoon caves, use the 10-meter slide, and spend three hours exploring Gozo. A €5 cash minibus ride takes you to Victoria, while the optional speedboat adds a closer look at Comino’s caves.

“It was so much fun and a great way to see Gozo/Blue Lagoon. We didn’t get to swim in the crystal lagoon but this may have been due to time of year (April). However we stopped at the best location in the Blue Lagoon and slid, jumped and swam in those gorgeous waters! It was so much fun. Communication was clear and we enjoyed the free time we had in Gozo. I would recommend if you’re strapped for time and don’t want to navigate the transport systems!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3,461 reviews · 7.5 hours · from $41

Set out from Sliema aboard the Mv Kataleya or Mv Lady Shelley for a full-day cruise to Gozo and Comino.

Captain-led commentary, a water slide, bathrooms, and onboard food service make this an easy way to cover Malta’s sister islands.

“I thought the organisation and pace of the tour was perfect. I chose the bus option on Gozo which I would recommend which gave us some great photo opportunities as suggested and two hours in Victoria . Enough time to see citadel and main sites and even a coffee and a beer. Blue Lagoon was lovely . Staff were great throughout on boat and service good. Highly recommend”

From Malta: Gozo Day Trip Including Ggantija Temples

5.Gozo Day Trip Including Ggantija Temples

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 2,399 reviews · 9 hours · from $92

Spend nine hours exploring Gozo with a guide such as John Paul, Chantelle, Altea, or Rita. Visit the 5,000-year-old Ggantija Temples, walk through Victoria’s Citadel, pause at Xlendi Bay, and see Dwejra’s Inland Sea. Hotel pickup, transport, ferry tickets, entry fees, lunch, and wine are included. The optional cave boat costs about €6.

“The trip was great and our guide was excellent. There was a fair bit of walking but people of all ages (including those with walking sticks) were able to make it through the day. I would say the only things that could be improved was that the size of the group was very large (approx. 30 people) and because of that, the guide spent a lot of time having to wait for people and gather people around. I felt like this took valuable time out of us being able to see everything in detail and take pictures etc. I do think the trip was worth the money and would recommend…”

6.Boat Trip to Comino Blue Lagoon, Gozo, and Caves

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 2,061 reviews · 5 hours · from $47

Take a five-hour powerboat trip from Sliema with Captain Tony and deckhand Raphael. Swim at Crystal Lagoon, stop at Comino Blue Lagoon, visit Ħalfa Rock near Gozo, and cruise past Comino’s caves. A shaded boat, free masks, and a small-group feel make this a lively way to see Malta’s coast.

“We had a great time on the boat with Tony and about 20 other guests. Tony’s deckhand Raphael was friendly, helpful and efficient. They both had a great sense of humour and made sure we had a fun time. The snorkeling was awesome, enough time at each place to enjoy the beautiful scenes and the communication from Tony onboard was excellent. Excellent value for money for a better experience at the same sites compared to the bigger boats!”

8.Comino, Gozo, Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon and Caves Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,923 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $36

Spend about seven hours cruising from St. Paul’s Bay past Malta’s caves and beaches to Comino’s Blue Lagoon, then continue to Gozo. You get 90 minutes for swimming and a three-hour Gozo stop, with an optional €5 shuttle to Victoria. Captain Kevin’s crew also offers a paid speedboat cave trip.

“It was a great experience, I chose this particular one because of the details I found about the tour, extras, itinerary compared to the lack of details at other boat tours, even though it meant I travelled from Valletta to St. Paul's for it. I really appreciated that the captain told us a bit about where we were passing by, also the speed boat cave tour extra was lots of fun. One thing I would advise is that you should choose either speed boat or going snorkelling in blue lagoon by yourself, there's hardly enough time for both, I tried to do both but had a swim for 10-15mins only…”

“We booked a tuk-tuk tour with a light lunch through Yippee (via Vialtor), and though we were initially unsure, it turned out to be the best decision! The tour was well-organized—we were picked up on time, boarded the boat smoothly, and enjoyed a pleasant 25-minute ride to Gozo. Upon arrival, we were quickly transferred to our spacious tuk-tuk (fits up to 6 passengers). Our driver, Ursula, was both knowledgeable and cautious, providing clear instructions at each stop. After exploring Gozo, we sailed to Comino Island for a refreshing swim and cave tour. Finally, we were dropped off back in Malta without any hassle. Overall, Yippee made it easy to see…”
