For sea lovers, kayaking and canoeing offer a family-friendly adventure.

There are guided tours available on the island that take you to the most secluded of places, only accessible by sea all while the rhythmic paddling soothes your senses.
Gozo boat trips offer an opportunity to explore the island’s mesmerizing coastline, boasting hidden caves, breathtaking cliffs, and tranquil bays. Visitors can sail along the picturesque shores, discovering secluded coves and pristine beaches accessible only by boat. Some trips lead to the renowned Blue Lagoon, in Comino, renowned for its crystal-clear turquoise waters. A boat trip we definitely recommend is the one offered at Dwejra’s inland sea (see photo above). With a variety of trips available, a boat excursion in Gozo promises a delightful and unforgettable adventure.
Running goes beyond mere exercise, it’s a journey of self-discovery through nature’s beauty and personal endurance. In the heart of this spirit lie marathons, the ultimate tests of both physical prowess and mental determination.
