Gozo Coastal Walk & Sanap Cliffs

The Gozo Coastal Walk is the ultimate challenge for long-distance walkers, tracking the island's dramatic perimeter. A spectacular segment of this route runs along the dramatic Sanap Cliffs. Be prepared for strong southerly winds and absolutely no natural shade. To get here, you can take bus 306 from the Victoria terminal, then walk towards the cliffs. Make sure to check in at each app marker along the dirt paths to log your progress.

Dwejra Walk & Fungus Rock

Dwejra is famous for its raw geological features, and the Dwejra Walk guides you through this rugged landscape. While following the interactive checkpoints, you will reach viewpoint markers looking out at the massive Fungus Rock. This trail features rough, uneven limestone terrain, so sturdy trail shoes are highly recommended. Parking is easy at the large public parking area by the inland sea, and bus 311 stops directly at the bay every hour.

The Northern Trails: Ta’ Ġurdan, Ħondoq, Daħlet Qorrot & Xlendi

These shorter, focused walks highlight Gozo's diverse rural topography. The Ta’ Ġurdan Walk takes you up a demanding hill to the iconic lighthouse, passing close to the dramatic sea canyon of Wied il-Għasri.

On the east side, the Daħlet Qorrot Walk and Ħondoq Walk take you down into quiet fishing bays. Parking at Daħlet Qorrot is notoriously steep and tight, so parking further up the hill in Nadur is often wiser. Each trail has distinct checkpoint coordinates to unlock in your app.

Comino Walk & The Blue Lagoon

No hiking collection is complete without tackling the Comino Walk. To begin, board a ferry at the Gozo Channel Ferry Terminal or opt for one of the smaller, direct shuttle boats from the Mġarr harbor. You can check out the scenic Mgarr Marina viewpoint to Comino island before departing. Once on Comino, the trail loops around the arid island, providing stunning elevated views of the Blue Lagoon and Cominotto Island. Beat the crowds and midday heat by catching the earliest ferry at 08:30; there is minimal shade on Comino, and sea winds can pick up rapidly along the northern cliffs.
