Quad and buggy: how it works
Quad and buggy tours take you along field tracks and coastal paths that are too narrow or bumpy for normal cars. There are two forms: guided tours where you follow a lead vehicle with a guide, and self-drive tours with GPS or map. On guided tours you learn about the island along the way; on the self-drive version you are freer but must manage route and safety yourself.
What it costs
Prices vary strongly by season, duration and provider. Travel sites give roughly 110 euros for guided quad tours with one quad and 185 euros if you share it between two; private tours with quad, tuk-tuk or e-jeep are quoted at 230 euros for up to three people and 280 euros for up to six. A self-guided tour is described from 99 euros for five hours, a two-seater buggy for six hours at around 130 euros including helmet, fuel and map. These are examples from 2026, not a guarantee.

Requirements and safety
Clarify with the provider beforehand which licence is required. Travel sites mention a valid driving licence and a minimum age of 21 for drivers plus a signed liability waiver. Depending on the provider, children from about 8 can come along as passengers; ask. Wear a helmet, goggles and sturdy shoes, because the field tracks are dusty, and long trousers protect against flying stones.
Where you ride
Typical routes connect coastal sections, villages and viewpoints, often including places like Dwejra or salt pans. The tracks are partly sandy and stony, which is why quads and buggies are meant for them. On paved roads normal traffic rules apply, and on Gozo as on Malta you drive on the left. Keep away from cliff edges and protected areas.
Bike and e-bike
Gozo is hilly. On a normal bike the island is tiring, on an e-bike more relaxed. At midday it is hot in summer, so ride early. Roads are partly narrow and traffic is not always considerate, so mind safety and wear a helmet. Rental points exist in the larger towns; ask for a lock, lights and a repair kit.
What makes sense?
For a varied day, a guided quad or buggy tour fits. For relaxed coastal rides, an e-bike. If you want to see many places in a short time, a rental car serves you better. Without a vehicle, buses, tours and the hop-on-hop-off bus help (see Gozo without a car). Hiking fans read hiking on Gozo.
