Gozo Malta: 5 Top Outdoor Adventure Activities You Don’t Want to Miss!

Malta’s all year round good weather makes it a perfect place for lovers of outdoor sports and adventure activities. Especially Gozo, Malta’s smaller sister island, has become an expert on adventure sports with a wide variety of options to choose from.
Let’s have a look at the 5 top adventure activities on Gozo Malta!
The adventure actually already starts on the ferry between the harbour in Malta and Gozo. It’s only a 25 minute ride, but you’ll have great views over the clear waters and can mentally prepare for all the adventure awaiting you…
Today, the Gozo channel ferry has 3 modern ships that carry 3 million passengers to the other side annually, but in the past people had to light a fire to signal the boat owners in Gozo that they needed a ride.
Until 1960, the ferries were also much smaller traditional boats. The ‘Gozo Boat’ was painted in green, blue, red and yellow. Black boats carried the dead. The boats were also decorated with the eye of Horus to protect them from evil.

With the sun high in the sky and our eyes firmly on the ground, we clamber across a rocky ancient olive grove.
Pretending to be lost, I pass the hand-drawn map to my partner to lead the way.
“Left,” she says triumphantly and takes us through a clearing in the trees.
Suddenly she stops, startled.
In front of us is a sumptuous-looking picnic on cushions, with views to the sparkling Mediterranean sea below.
As she turns, I smile knowingly, go down on one knee and pop the question:
“What’s for dinner, love?”
In hindsight, that could have been a truly romantic way to propose. Oh well, maybe next time.
I am on the island of Gozo for an adventure holiday in the Maltese archipelago and it starts with a wild dining experience from Gozo Picnic.
The idea is the brainchild of host Ana, who combines loves of food and nature.
Her locations and menus change with the weather but she always knows the most scenic spots at which to set up.

If you’re planning to visit Malta, you might be wondering how many days to spend in Malta. Although it’s easy to spend to one week in Malta, I considered four days to be the perfect amount of time in Malta to see the main sightseeing attractions in Malta.
If you’re wondering what to do in Malta without the expense of a car, keep reading as you can do a surprising number of things in Malta during four days. I wrote this guide as most of the guides that I found about Malta focused on having a car.
Malta is small, so my husband and I chose not to rent a car during my long weekend in Malta as I felt that we could see everything that I wanted to see with the bus after checking the schedule.

Around two million visitors travel to Malta each year. A new record has been set in 2018, as the capital Valletta has been named European Capital of Culture. No wonder, because despite the small size - the entire archipelago is just as big as Munich - one superlative chases the next. 7,000 years of human history have left impressive traces. Did you know that the oldest free-standing structures in the world are in Malta? They are temples 2,000 years older than Stonehenge or the pyramids of Giza.

Frenchman Xavier Cornil Wambergue explains what brought him to Gozo, and why he made it his home.
I first heard of Gazo back in 1998 when I was working for a manufacturing company in the UK, and my job involved buying materials for their sister company in Xewkija. As the company grew, I was made Director of the factory in Gozo, and, along with my partner Rachel, made the move to live an the island in January 2008. Three years later, the company wanted to move me again, and I was horrified at the idea! Through the factory, I knew so many people, and Gozo had well and truly become our home.

The archipelago of Malta is composed of several islands, of which 3 main ones to visit: Malta, Comino and Gozo.
I have already started to talk about Malta and its capital Valletta (here), and I will come back soon because the island has a multitude of treasures! Comino is a small rock that hides within it the most beautiful waters of the Mediterranean: the Blue Lagoon. That too, I'll talk about it very soon. As for Gozo, it is an island larger than Comino but smaller and wilder than Malta.
It's Gozo that I'm going to talk to you today, because I had the chance to visit his coast kayaking with Gozo Adventures *.

It’s worth visiting Gozo, if only for this incredible boat trip experience! I’ve just travelled in a small, open vessel along a natural tunnel which cuts through the cliff face here on the west coast of this small Maltese island. My boat trip started at what’s termed the inland sea. It’s a small shale and pebble beach set around a lagoon of tidal water. This pool is circled by high, crumbling yellow cliffs on two sides.
Gozo: the ideal active summer holiday for a single dad of two

Holidays are a fraught experience for any parent, but when you have only one pair of eyes, it’s far trickier. I became a single father when my wife Carolina died in June 2013. On our first holiday as a family of three, I played it safe and took Jake and Isabella, then eight and six, on an all-inclusive trip to Mallorca. We hardly left the hotel complex; its pool and unlimited food and drink made life easy for me. However, by the end of the week, Jake was bored. My challenge the following year was to find something more adventurous. I settled on a small group family activity holiday, which promised climbing, snorkelling, kayaking and diving – all new experiences for my children. The tour operator, Activities Abroad, bills the trip as a week with a fixed schedule, where parents get time to relax and let the guides take responsibility – no need to stress about booking excursions or getting lost in a hire car.
Gozo: A wonderland of sea caves

Ever heard of Gozo? Me neither until recently. Most Americans have never heard it, let alone been there. At least that’s the conclusion I reach based on conversations with friends and Gozitans. Yes, that’s what they’re called. The first I heard of Gozo, a nine-mile long island that’s one of the Maltese Islands, was last October when I read an article in Outside Magazine. The magazine extolled the many outdoor activities available in Malta, a tiny republic in the Mediterranean Sea south of Sicily. Those outdoorsy adventures include some of our favorites: sea kayaking scuba diving and hiking. So, after further online research and email conversations with Maltese dive shops and outdoor adventure sources, Malta looked great to us. And the more I looked the better Gozo in particular looked.
