Discover Dwejra’s dramatic geology where storm-carved limestone shapes a natural amphitheatre. Gaze across to Fungus Rock, the offshore monolith once guarded by the Knights, and stroll to the lagoon known as the Inland Sea, a tranquil pool connected to open water by a sea tunnel.

Follow narrow lanes edged by stone walls to the Punic burial site at Wardija Point, a headland that feels like the end of the earth. Learn how the Knights prized the so-called “Maltese fungus” here and pause for photos and reflection above the surf.

Stroll from Qala’s ridge to Dahlet Qorrot, a tiny cove dotted with brightly painted boathouses. Paths thread through fragrant lemon groves and vineyards towards San Blas Bay, a tucked-away strand famed for its ochre-red sand and clear, gently shelving water.

Climb to Nadur viewpoints, where the 19th-century Ta’ Kenuna Tower surveys Gozo, Comino, and Malta beyond. On clear days the horizon feels infinite, with terraced hills stepping down to turquoise in a quintessential Gozitan panorama.

Board a small craft for a scenic boat ride from the Inland Sea to the open Mediterranean, slipping through the natural sea tunnel beneath Dwejra’s cliffs. Watch light ripple across honey-gold limestone and sudden cobalt depths.

Local boatmen point out sea caves, rock arches, and layered strata that reveal Gozo’s geological story. This optional experience is weather-dependent, at additional cost, and bookable on tour at Dwejra.

Cruise from Gozo’s harbour to Comino and the famous Blue Lagoon, a sheltered channel of crystal-clear waters ideal for a swim or snorkel. Settle on deck as the coastline unfurls in bands of pale limestone and indigo sea.

Pass wave-cut caves and glimpse the 17th-century St Mary’s Tower on Comino’s heights. Time ashore varies by operator and season. This optional excursion is at additional cost and bookable on tour from Mgarr.

Explore Victoria (Rabat) and climb to Il-Kastell to walk the Citadel ramparts, where views sweep across terraced hills to a ring of sea. Lanes of butter-gold stone lead between bastions, chapels, and quiet courtyards.

Visit the Cathedral of the Assumption and nearby museums to trace Gozo’s story from Bronze Age finds to Knights-era fortifications. This optional experience involves small entry fees and is bookable on tour in Victoria.

Visit the national shrine of Ta’ Pinu Basilica, a serene neo-Romanesque landmark set amid open countryside. Continue on quiet farm tracks and through sculpted wieds (wadis) to Gharb, a village of honey-stone homes clustered around its ornate Baroque church, where balconies overflow with geraniums.

Emerge at the cliff rim for sweeping views over the salt pans of the north coast, hand-cut into the rock and still harvested by local families. Learn how sea, wind, and sun shape this centuries-old craft while the Mediterranean shimmers below.

Explore Gozo’s southeast shoreline as you follow a coastal path from the colourful quays of Mgarr Harbour beneath the bastions of Fort Chambray. The route winds over pale limestone ledges to the narrow, fjord-like inlet of Mgarr ix-Xini, a sheltered creek ideal for a swim and a picnic on smooth, sea-worn rocks.

Trace an age-old mule track through wild garigue and terraced fields where caper bushes and thyme scent the air. Pause by prehistoric remains — a Copper Age temple footing and a Neolithic dolmen — and reflect on the cove’s storied past, where Ottoman raiders landed in 1551.

Walk the grand escarpment of the Ta’ Cenc and Sanap cliffs, Gozo’s highest sea walls where tiered “layer-cake” limestone drops to cobalt water. From breezy headlands, trace the coast towards Xlendi Bay, watching fishing boats etch silver wakes across views to Comino and Malta.

Descend through tamarisk and caper to the bay’s sheltered promenade, then climb into terraced fields bright with poppies and gladioli in spring. Listen for the eerie, nocturnal calls of Mediterranean shearwaters that nest in the cliff crevices when the season is right.

Visit the UNESCO-listed Ggantija Temples, megalithic sanctuaries older than the pyramids and Stonehenge, where colossal stones form curved chambers aligned to sky and season. Study exquisite Neolithic stonework and learn about the island’s earliest ritual life.

Continue to the museum at the Ta’ Kola Windmill, preserved with its millstones, forge, and traditional kitchenware, offering a snapshot of rural craftsmanship. This optional experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour in Xaghra.

All buffet breakfasts and 7 dinners are included.Meals are usually served in the restaurant or al fresco on the patio under a 200-year-old carob tree. Breakfast is an enormous hot and cold buffet and dinner is a 4-course affair offering a mouth watering selection of Gozitan and Italian specialities.Please be aware that, as Gozo has no rivers, lakes or reservoirs, the majority of drinking water is produced via reverse osmosis – essentially, the desalination and filtration of sea water. Tap water is perfectly safe and drinkable, although you may notice it has a very slightly salty aftertaste which can vary between hotels, restaurants and cafes depending whether they have additional filtration systems in place. If you still have concerns, or are put off by the taste, bottled water is widely available although please consider the environmental impact of buying and disposing of plastic bottles.
