Get to know the place

The official Gozo guide identifies Xlendi as a snorkelling location. Focus on a guide-agreed section of the bay, keeping clear of working boats. The tunnel, outer reef and deeper cliffs belong to separate scuba plans; this suggestion stays at the surface.

What to see

  • Limestone bay sides
  • Rock-and-seabed details
  • Xlendi’s waterfront from the water

Features and marine-life sightings depend on the agreed route and conditions.
