More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You slide off the ferry into Mgarr’s sun-washed harbour and climb into an open buggy that will thread coastal roads, cliff tops and olive-scrubbed lanes across Gozo. Salt air cuts sharp against limestone; cliffs dare you to step closer as the sea pushes light toward the Blue Lagoon.

Book morning crossings
Ferries and the Blue Lagoon get crowded by late morning; an early start makes swims and photo stops more pleasant.
Sun protection is non-negotiable
Open buggies offer little shade — bring SPF 30+, a broad-brimmed hat and sunglasses.
Carry cash for extras
Small vendors, optional boat rides at Dwejra and tips may not accept cards; bring small euro notes.
Wear grippy shoes
Cliff edges, salt pans and rocky beaches are uneven — closed-toe shoes with good tread reduce slips.
Swimwear & quick-dry towel
Needed for the Blue Lagoon and Xwejni Bay swim stops.
