Private Day Trip Around Gozo: Explore Ġgantija Temples, Coastal Cliffs & Local Flavours
Spend a private day exploring Gozo’s ancient Ġgantija temples, dramatic coastal viewpoints and quiet fishing villages. This flexible, small-group tour pairs history, geology and local food with comfortable private transport.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear grippy shoes
Cliff viewpoints and temple approaches have uneven limestone and loose gravel—closed-toe shoes with good tread make stops safer and more comfortable.
Hydrate and refill
Bring a refillable water bottle; tap water is drinkable and many villages have places to top up to avoid single-use plastic.
Sun protection
Malta’s sun is strong year-round—bring sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses even on breezy days near the coast.
Reserve dietary needs ahead
The tour includes a lunch stop at a fishing village; note allergies or dietary preferences when booking to ensure suitable options.

Coastal erosion and boat traffic impact sensitive shorelines; follow local guidance, avoid trampling archaeological sites and minimize single-use plastics to reduce your footprint.
Gozo hosts some of Europe’s oldest freestanding temples— Ġgantija dates to around 3600–3200 BCE—alongside medieval fortifications in the Citadel of Victoria (Rabat).
