Discover Gozo on a Quad Bike Tour
Driving in convoy behind our skilled tour leader, get set for adventure powering through rugged valleys and backroads - visiting Gozo’s sleepy villages, wild countryside and epic coast.
Explore, and enjoy Gozo’s lesser-known sites on a powerful 570cc Quad, following one of our experienced tour leaders (English/French-speaking). Yippee’s multi-award-winning tours offer unique access to secret places and neighbourhoods cherished by locals.
Gozo has so many gorgeous landscapes and ‘must-do’ sites, however many are off the beaten track and so cannot be reached by car or bus. That is why a Quad Bike tour is the perfect way to explore the small island of Gozo, accessing remote and secret spots, while visiting the top sites as well.
Coasting along our award-winning beautiful blue shores, your return journey sails around Comino’s captivating caves and picture-perfect Blue Lagoon. Stop at one of Comino’s lagoons for a refreshing swim aboard one of our Yippee boats.
To maximize your outdoor adventure time, we provide a picnic for you to enjoy during an extended stop – letting you eat, relax and recharge.
Strap your helmet on and get set for an unforgettable adventure on with our exciting Quad Bike tour!

Ta' Cenc Cliffs - Sannat
See the beauty of Gozo’s wild, wonderful nature up-close as you trek around Ta' Cenc Cliffs. Nature, wildlife, coastal scenery – see all this and more riding across one of Gozo’s highest points, along our island's southwestern coast. Take in the vista from the breathtaking cliffs, with views looking out over to Comino and Malta.
Xlendi Beach, Cliffs and Caves (pass by)
Our ride along by the cliffs leads us to a belvedere overlooking Xlendi Bay, Gozo’s charming coastal village, with deep blue waters framed by high cliffs and a watch tower, built by the Knights. The tour will briefly stop at the Belvedere near Xlendi Tower, overlooking the bay, to take in the view and capture some photos.
Knight’s Washhouses - Fontana
Many visitors go from Xlendi to Victoria. but few of them stop on the way and miss out on a secret gem. That’s why our tours stop in the sleepy village of Fontana, where two 16th-century public washhouses, built by the Knights of St John are located. Fed by freshwater springs, these wash-houses are still used by local villagers today!
Dwejra Bay (Fungus Rock, Inland Sea & Watch Tower) - San Lawrenz
We will then head to one of Gozo’s most spectacular places: Dwejra Bay. Dwejra Bay is a popular site on many tourists’ tick-list: with a watch tower built by the Knights, the Inland Sea, the Fungus Rock and the Blue Hole dive site.This is where Gozo’s famous ‘Azure Window’,(a natural arch looking out to sea) once stood, before it was destroyed in a powerful 2017 storm. It is easy to see why the Game of Thrones TV series used this beautiful site as a backdrop for scenes for their first season.
Basilica of the Blessed Virgin Of Ta’ Pinu - Gharb (pass by)
We will pass by another famous landmark you can admire in Gozo: the Ta’ Pinu Basilica and Shrine, located on the outskirts of Gharb and set against a lush countryside backdrop. This beautiful basilica has a strong religious importance, as it was built on the spot where a miracle happened. Locals and pilgrims visit this shrine to give devoted offerings to the Blessed Virgin of Ta' Pinu, to express their faith and gratitude after their prayers have been answered. Pope John Paul II even led a mass there in 1990.
Ghasri Valley
Nestled along Gozo’s northern coast, at the end of a rugged valley is Ghasri Valley and its beautiful but hard-to-reach cove. The valley has a small pebbly beach with crystal clear waters and winding cliffs reaching out to the open sea. The rugged terrain leading up to this valley is perfect for putting your ride through its paces!
Xwejni Salt Pans
This is without doubt one of Gozo’s most photo-worthy locations. Gozo’s northern coastline is dotted with salt pans, dramatic-looking chequerboard squares cut out of the rock by locals to harvest natural sea salt from the sea. In the summer, it is still possible to watch the salt being harvested.
Qbajjar and Marsalforn Bay
The last part of the excursion will take place onboard our Yippee boat before heading back to Malta.
The Blue Lagoon
Blue Lagoon: the reason why tourists flock to Comino Island lies in these two magical words. And rightly so: Blue Lagoon’s crystal-clear waters are truly incredible, turquoise blue shores offering a paradise-like backdrop. Be sure to have your camera ready.
Please note: In summer, a swim stop at the Blue Lagoon or the Crystal Lagoon is included. Swim stops are always subject to weather conditions.
Crystal Lagoon
Just around the corner from the Blue Lagoon is another Comino treasure, you will be unaware of - Crystal Lagoon. Crystal Lagoon is more serene, and can only be reached from the sea. It is an exceptional place for a relaxing swim in pristine waters (unless we stop at the Blue Lagoon instead).
Comino Caves
Comino’s rugged coastline is dotted with several natural caves formed over centuries by wave erosion. Once pirate hideouts, these caves are now popular destinations for divers and swimmers and have even attracted some filmmakers.
Please note: We make every effort to ensure our tours run smoothly and according to the specified itineraries. However, although it’s rarely required, we reserve the right to modify our itineraries as we deem necessary to keep everything running comfortably and on time.
* Your safety is our priority - Boat crossings & swim stops are subject to weather conditions. Whenever weather conditions are severe, crossings shall be operated by communal ferry and tickets will be provided at no extra cost. If so, in Summer the swim stop will be in Gozo instead.
In case of an accident or any damage to the vehicle, an insurance excess fee of €450 applies.
