The day begins on the bow of a fast-powerboat leaving St. George’s Bay, spray on your face and Malta’s limestone coast unfurling to the horizon. St. Paul’s Islands slip astern as the boat guts across blue water toward Gozo; the wind pushes you forward and the cliffs of the smaller islands reveal honey-colored rock and hidden coves.

The day begins on the bow of a fast-powerboat leaving St. George’s Bay, spray on your face and Malta’s limestone coast unfurling to the horizon. St. Paul’s Islands slip astern as the boat guts across blue water toward Gozo; the wind pushes you forward and the cliffs of the smaller islands reveal honey-colored rock and hidden coves.
On Gozo a double-decker bus moves through low, terraced countryside to Victoria’s Citadel — a compact medieval upland that gives a full-plate view of the island. Nearby, Ta’ Pinu’s neo-Romanesque façade reads like a place of pilgrimage and resilience. The Ggantija Temples, carved from local limestone millennia ago, predate the pyramids and speak to the island’s megalithic builders and the geological ease of working globigerina limestone.
Comino’s Santa Maria Caves are best seen from the water: boats thread narrow openings and reveal caves where light catches suspended silt and water turns a startling turquoise. Expect short stops for photos and a chance to swim in clear basins when sea conditions allow.
Practical details: this is a full-day, shared-tour format lasting about 6–7 hours with moderate walking and many short embark/disembark episodes. Bring sun protection, a light wind layer, sturdy walking shoes for the Citadel and temple terraces, and a small dry bag for valuables. Seas can be calm or choppy; consider motion-sickness remedies. The itinerary balances scenic cruising, cultural stops, and a cave-focused coastal view — a compact way to experience Gozo and Comino in a single, active day.
The tour departs from St. George’s Bay (near Sliema/St. Julian’s); check your voucher for the exact meeting point and boarding time.
The tour involves boarding boats and climbing stairs on a bus and at viewpoints—it's not recommended for travelers with serious mobility limitations or recent spinal injuries.
Some schedules include a short swimming stop at Comino when sea and weather conditions permit; bring swimwear and a towel, but swims are not guaranteed.
Full refunds are available if you cancel at least 24 hours before departure; check your booking confirmation for details and any weather-related changes.
