Malta’s all year round good weather makes it a perfect place for lovers of outdoor sports and adventure activities. Especially Gozo, Malta’s smaller sister island, has become an expert on adventure sports with a wide variety of options to choose from.
Let’s have a look at the 5 top adventure activities on Gozo Malta!
The adventure actually already starts on the ferry between the harbour in Malta and Gozo. It’s only a 25 minute ride, but you’ll have great views over the clear waters and can mentally prepare for all the adventure awaiting you…
Today, the Gozo channel ferry has 3 modern ships that carry 3 million passengers to the other side annually, but in the past people had to light a fire to signal the boat owners in Gozo that they needed a ride.
Until 1960, the ferries were also much smaller traditional boats. The ‘Gozo Boat’ was painted in green, blue, red and yellow. Black boats carried the dead. The boats were also decorated with the eye of Horus to protect them from evil.
