3.Full-Day Gozo UTV Tour with Lunch and Boat Ride

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

Full-day Gozo UTV tour from Malta with ferry, lunch, swim stop, and a return boat ride past the Blue Lagoon and Comino caves.

“Excellent day touring Gozo with our tour guide, Ben. The numerous UTVs offer a small group tour experience (4-6/UTV) instead of the big bud experience. We were able to ‘customise’ the tour by staying longer or shortening the stops depending upon our small group’s preference. Lunch was great and our time was well used. Plan for 8+ hours as we returned to Malta by bus closer to 9-9.5 total hours.”

“I booked this tour for my birthday and me and my partner had the most amazing experience with Mark and Andrew as our guides. Me and my partner expressed to them that my she was not the most confident driver and they made sure to let us know which parts would be easier for her to drive. We felt safe and comfortable throughout the whole experience and we would definitely do this again. Both Mark and Andrew made sure to check in on us and even took the time to speak with us during the breaks, they really made this an enjoyable experience and I would definitely take the opportunity…”

14.Blue Lagoon, Beaches and Bays Catamaran Sailing Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,269 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $66

6 hours on Malta’s Sea Breeze catamaran with Blue Lagoon swimming plus optional snorkel stops like Crystal Lagoon and Ghajn Tuffieha Bay.

“Positives and negatives. The negatives…do not go by the address the tour operator provided as a drop off point. This is on the other side of the marina. This company needs to update their address. We had our taxi drop us off at the address they provided and ended up walking 15 minutes back from where we came to catch the boat. Additionally, the tour provider packs a lot of people on the boat. If you want a decent spot, you must show up early. The taxi dropped us off 30 minutes before our launch time. Upon checking in they also don’t tell you that you have to scan a…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,077 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $204Top rated

Private speedboat tour from Malta to Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon, Comino and nearby Gozo sights, with snorkeling gear and pickup.

“The tour guide was very pleasant but things could be improved, they did not have a snorkel for everyone, the goggles were extremely foggie, the boat had trash and was not very clean, the snorkel stops had no fish, a ton of people and was overcrowded. We ultimately went to see caves and it was nice to see the different areas.”
