Starting Point and Transportation
The tour begins with a pick-up from your hotel or the nearest accessible point in Malta or Gozo, arranged by Yippee Malta. The exact pickup time is confirmed via WhatsApp or email, ensuring you’re well-informed and ready to go. The transport is reliable, with some reviews praising the punctuality and smooth coordination.
Once onboard, you’ll cross over to Gozo on a Yippee-exclusive boat, which is a highlight in itself. The boat is reserved for Yippee clients, so you won’t be sharing the vessel with large crowds. This intimate crossing adds to the overall feeling of being on a special adventure.
The Jeep Safari Itinerary
The core of the tour is the guided 4×4 ride across Gozo’s rugged landscapes. These ultra-modern UTV vehicles are designed for comfort, with forward-facing seats that provide excellent visibility and an easy ride over rocky, lush, and scenic terrains. The experience is suitable for all ages, with a focus on safety and fun.
Your guides, who speak multiple languages including English, French, German, and others, will lead you through valleys, past bays, and to awe-inspiring sites like the Sannat Cliffs and the Dwejra Inland Sea. As one reviewer noted, the guides do a good job of showing the island thoroughly and sharing interesting tidbits — Josef, in particular, was singled out for his friendly and informative manner.
Key Stops and Highlights
- Sanap Cliffs and Dwejra Inland Sea: Prepare to snap some incredible photos of these iconic formations. The views from the cliffs are especially dramatic, showing off Malta’s volcanic past and rugged coastlines.
- Ta Pinu Basilica: A spiritual and architectural highlight, offering panoramic views and a chance for some quiet reflection.
- Valleys and Bays: The ride through lush, green valleys offers a picture-perfect setting, ideal for nature lovers.
The Boat Trip to Comino
A major draw of this tour is the boat trip around Comino, a highlight praised for its exclusivity and scenic beauty. The boat is reserved solely for Yippee guests, and the crew sails past sea caves and around the small island, with stops at Blue Lagoon and Crystal Lagoon.
During the summer months, you’ll have the chance to swim in the Blue Lagoon, renowned for its crystal-clear waters and soft sandy seabed. One review mentioned that the swim was brief, lasting less than 20 minutes, and some found the boat moving quickly around the caves, which limited time for exploration. Still, the opportunity to relax in such a renowned spot adds significant value.
Lunch and Practical Details
A generous light traditional Gozitan lunch is included, giving you a taste of local flavors in a relaxed setting. While some travelers described the meal as “average,” it’s a solid offering considering the overall package price. The focus here is on providing a hearty, local meal that fuels your adventures.
The entire tour lasts approximately 7 hours, excluding transfer times, making it a full day’s adventure. Return transportation is arranged via Yippee, ensuring you’re dropped off at your original pick-up point, completing the seamless experience.
What’s Not Included
- The inland sea Dwejra boat trip has an additional fee if you choose to do it separately, and the Ggantija Temple fee is not covered, so plan accordingly if you’re interested in exploring beyond the tour.
Authentic Insights from Reviews
Guests have shared useful tips that can help you make the most of your day. For example, one reviewer appreciated the organization, commenting that “transport was well arranged and everything was on time.” Another noted that “lunch was quite average, but for the price it was okay,” emphasizing that this tour is about the experience and scenery rather than gourmet meals.
However, some found the swimming stop could be longer, and the boat trip around the caves moved quickly, limiting time for exploration. Organization at the end of the day was also mentioned as slightly inconsistent, with some guests noting that additional costs for transport back to the hotel could apply if they didn’t join the scheduled return.
Who Will Love This Tour?
This trip is ideal for families and small groups who enjoy outdoor adventures and want a comprehensive day out. The guided commentary makes it accessible for travelers of all ages, and the comfortable vehicles ensure a smooth ride across diverse terrains. If you’re craving photo opportunities and a taste of local culture, the stops at scenic viewpoints and the traditional lunch will satisfy.
It’s especially suitable during the summer when the swimming in Blue Lagoon is possible — a refreshing break in the middle of your sightseeing. However, those seeking a very relaxed or leisurely pace might find the short swim and quick cave tours a bit rushed.
Practical Tips for Your Day Out
- Wear comfortable shoes suitable for walking and uneven terrain.
- Bring sunglasses, hat, and sunscreen to stay protected from the sun.
- Pack swimwear, towel, and water if you plan to swim.
- Don’t forget your camera — the views are worth capturing.
- Arrive at the pickup point a few minutes early to ensure smooth boarding.
- Keep some snacks handy for extra energy during the day.
- Remember, smoking and drinks in the vehicle are not allowed, so plan accordingly.
