1. Bike Adventure Tour

Gozo’s small island. However, you’ll find that the varied topography has contributed to making some amazing bicycle routes with uphill beats and descents that follow the hills and valleys.  Rent a bike from any of the several outlets. In moments you’ll be paddling off on a solo bike tour or maybe with your family or friends.

2. Abseiling and Rock Climbing

Dissecting the cliffs and crags, both inland or around the coast, Gozo’s abseiling, rock climbing and bouldering scene is set for the novice and the more advanced adventure seeker. Make sure you mark adventure valleys such as Ħondoq, Dwejra and Ta’ Ċenc.

3. Hiking

Bicycling and abseiling might not be for everyone, but hiking and Nordic walking is.  Set your own pace and stop whenever you want.  Hiking  is an easy way of exploring the island.  Even among seniors, hiking can be part of the mix of adventure holidays in Gozo.   Such an adventure excursion will lift your mood as you follow paths along the Gozitan countryside, the villages and around the coast.

4. Segway Tours

Immerse yourself in the surroundings without lifting a foot. Segway is yet an easier way to move around the island. It is also ideal for families and people of all ages.  Head off to the countryside, zipping along tracks and discover the island. Segway is also an environmentally friendly adventure holiday activity!

5. Quad-biking & Tuk Tuk Adventure 

Quad Bikes are enjoyable and versatile vehicles allow you to unearth Gozo’s natural treasures or navigate its charming narrow streets. Enjoy the stunning views of Gozo, but remember to drive with care Quad Bike rides to ensure a safe and fun adventure. Tuktuks are compact vehicles that offer an intimate and immersive experience, easily navigating narrow streets and providing an unobstructed, open-air view of the picturesque surroundings.

6. Diving

The magical underwater world awaits. Gozo needs no introduction to the diving world.  Certified PADI diving centres, diving instructors, and the courses aimed at all levels that are available on the island, ensure that Gozo is a hub for a diving adventure.   Divers can bring their own gear or hire all that is needed for a Gozo diving adventure holiday from the diving shops.

7. Paddleboarding

There must be a reason why stand up paddleboarding has become one of the fastest-growing world sports and sea adventures.  Try it out whilst on your adventure in Gozo.  Conquer the blue of the Mediterranean with the feeling of walking on water as you explore the coast of the island.  You’ll be awed with a new perspective.

8. Kayaking

Considered even an option for a family adventure, kayaking or canoeing is a delight for sea lovers.  Paddle beneath the majestic Ta’ Ċenċ cliffs, pass by the remote secret coves or hop to Gozo’s little sister island, Comino, as you explore caves and rock formations.  Such adventure excursion tours usually include stop-overs with lunch. In the meantime, let the lilt of the rhythmic paddling soothe your senses.

9. Subwing, Jet-Skiing and more Watersports

During the summer months, sprightly watersports are among the top picks for sea adventures.  Subwing, the underwater towable adventure is an ethereal experience.  Jet-skiing and towable watersports are practised widely at most beaches during the summer months. Getting your watersports adventure organised is an easy deal.

10. Boating

If none of the above sea adventures tickle your fancy,  you can head the call of the blue aboard a yacht or boat.  Cruise around the coast or sail into the sunset on a sunset tour.   Enveloped between blue skies and water, you can soak the sun and splash into the sea discovering out-of-the-way snorkeling spots,  on adventure excursions that you’ll not regret.

In Gozo, it’s always adventure time.  While many associate adventures with the young in search of adrenalin thrills, Gozo also provides easier adventures that allow one to breathe easy again.  After all, not everyone finds extreme sports and hair-raising adventures as their favourite cup of  ‘leisure’. In any case, it is easy to join specialised adventure holidays focusing on one activity like diving or else engage in an adventure tour that tackles a variety of activities.  As with all adventure sports, it is important to ensure that you have experienced people in your team that will guarantee your safety.

Wallowing by the pool and sipping cocktails is not for everyone. If you’re after releasing endorphins then a Gozo holiday adventure is like an elixir that simply screams – It’s good to be alive!!
