2. Abseiling, Bouldering & Climbing
The island’s geographically interesting terrain provides a myriad of abseiling, bouldering and climbing adventures.

 

From Mġarr ix-Xini to Xlendi, Ta’ Ċenċ and Wied il-Mielaħ, it is imperative that these thrilling experiences are tackled with the appropriate safety measures, professional equipment and under the guidance of experts. Novices should not attempt tackling crevasses and rock faces on their own as this can be very risky.

A well-planned climbing adventure is highly rewarding for those who enjoy the joy of being one with the surroundings.

3. Kayaking
If the sea is your thing and the weather permits, then kayaking in Gozo should be on your bucketlist. Paddle out at your own leisure from different bays such as Xlendi and the inland sea of Dwejra. Gozo boasts an impressive coastline and if the weather and wind is in your favour you can spend your whole holiday kayaking around Gozo and Comino, whilst visiting the different coves and secret inlets around the island.
