Gozo’s climate and geography combine to make it an ideal playground for outdoor activities. Apart from scuba diving, Gozo offers a wide selection of sports, from the gentle to the adrenaline-spinning, for experts and novices alike.
Abseiling
Enjoy Gozo’s unique landscape the adventurous way! Cliffs, caves, coves – the island’s geology is unique and spectacular and if you are the adventurous type, you will be definitely entertained as you climb or abseil one of the natural rock formations, against the backdrop of the beautiful Mediterranean sea. Popular locations for Abseiling/Rock Climbing are Ħondoq, Dwejra and Ta’ Ċenċ.
Cycling
Get off the beaten track and discover the unspoilt Gozitan countryside by simply renting a bike and following the signs of the SIBIT project. The SIBIT route in Gozo runs around the entire coast, through as many as 14 different villages, and takes in most of Gozo’s main sights, both natural and historic.
Horse Riding
Horse riding is an exhilarating, fun and different way to experience the unspoilt countryside of Gozo. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced rider, horse riding stables can provide you with a suitable horse and a beautiful ride.
Walking
From peaceful country and hill walks to rambles along cliff-tops with panoramic views; from coastal paths past extraordinary natural features to heritage trails or the unique prehistoric landscape, there is something for everyone. An excellent new publication, Gozo Walks (available for free at Atlantis Diving Centre), provides detailed route-maps and informative descriptions of the sights – natural, historical and cultural – you will come across on each walk.
Kayaking
Explore Gozo and Comino’s varied coastline by kayak and enjoy the islands’ stunning scenery from a different and peaceful perspective. Kayak tours allow visitors to explore Gozo and Comino’s caves and bays, using muscle power rather than polluting petrol, and to get up close to dramatic limestone cliffs and marine life.
Quad Bike
Get ready to roam on a quad bike; it’s easy and fun to drive around! Discover Gozo’s natural hidden gems, or wander around its narrow streets, in a different way on these fun and practical vehicles. No experience is required – everyone can do it.
Segway
Segways are an eco-friendly, self-balancing, electric transportation vehicle. They are easy to learn and fun to drive. There is no feeling that can compare to gliding effortlessly and silently on a Segway through our beautiful country side.
