Your Comino and Gozo sunset adventure
Calling all bold adventurers! See the best of Gozo and Comino up close in a daring double-island tour. Take charge and steer your own 4x4 Buggy fun, trekking across amazing landscapes on our multi-award-winning tours.
The tour starts on board our Yippee boat, sailing around Comino’s azure blue coastline, as you sightsee its famous Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon, and caves. Beat the summer heat with a refreshing swim-stop at Blue Lagoon or Crystal Lagoon.
Awesome Buggy adventures start when you arrive in Gozo. All drivers get a Safety and Operational Briefing before setting off in a convoy, led by one of Yippee’s experienced lead drivers. You will have so much fun exploring Gozo’s most scenic routes, from coastal paths to wild, lush, perfumed valleys.
Great for free-spirited friends or families seeking off-road Buggy action, but with buckled-in security. Remember to capture photos of all the stunning sites along the way.
To maximise your outdoor adventure time guests get a picnic dinner at an extended ‘sunset stop’ – eat, relax and recharge as you watch a colourful Gozo sunset.
During off-peak season (when days are shorter), the tour also stops at The Cittadella, Gozo’s ancient fortified city, steeped in history, with panoramic island views.
Each buggy is fully automatic, with fitted seatbelts, a roll cage and seats 1 driver + 1 passenger. Drivers must be 21+, fully qualified to drive, and must present a valid driver's licence +1 other type of government-issued Photo ID. Provisional licences are not accepted.

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.
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
Comino has many treasures to enjoy and the Crystal Lagoon, right around the corner from the Blue Lagoon, is one of the most enchanting. Gorgeous, but quieter, the Crystal Lagoon is a favourite spot for snorkellers and scuba divers. We will drop anchor in one of these two lagoons to let you swim in amazingly clear waters.
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.
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.
Wied Il-Ghasri Gozo: A Scenic Island Escape
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 a 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 Citadel - Victoria (depends on sunset time)
On early and late-summer days (when days are still shorter), the tour also stops at the Cittadella in Victoria, after sunset. The Citadella, Gozo’s ancient fortified city - played a vital role in our history. Enjoy panoramic views of Gozo from its bastion walls, see its Cathedral, WW2 shelters and grain silos.
