Discover the delights and traditions of Gozo, a laid-back Mediterranean island just north of Malta, where you can enjoy both land and sea activities on this family activity holiday.
- Go climbing & abseiling
- Explore caves & bays by kayak
- Learn to scuba dive
- Swim & snorkel in the Mediterranean
- Enjoy a traditional cookery class
Explore the underwater world by experiencing a scuba diving taster session, abseil down rocks, explore caves and bays in kayaks, meet the locals and gain an insight into life away from the tourist trail. On your free day, you could explore the local towns of the island, take a coastal walk or join a snorkelling boat excursion in crystal clear waters.
Your accommodation on this fun-filled group holiday is in a family-friendly, beach-front hotel located in the picturesque fishing village of Mgarr.

Today is free to relax on the beach or explore more of Gozo. Locally available activities include water sports, museums, and boat trips from the island.

Today is designed to help you understand more about Gozo, its people, its traditions – and something very dear to us – its food!

Day 7: Learn rock-climbing & abseiling
Gozo is a very rocky island and therefore a great place to learn to climb and abseil. Visit the best sites on the island to learn the basics of rope craft and how to safely navigate a rock face, and slowly progress to more difficult routes. The afternoon is at leisure to relax or explore.

Day 8: Transfer to Malta Airport & fly back to the UK
