Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Peyia, Peyia, Paphos District
Pegeia is situated mainly on the steep slopes of the coastal hills inland from Coral Bay, at the southern end of the Akamas Peninsula. The origin of the name Pegeia is said to derive from the Latin word Baia (Bay). The village itself was first settled by Venetians, during the Venetian Domination of Cyprus (1489-1570).
Stop At: Edro III Shipwreck, Peyia 8560 Cyprus
The Sierra Leone-flagged EDRO III ran aground on 8 September 2011 in heavy seas, during a voyage to Rhodes with a cargo of plasterboard. At the time of the accident, the ship had nine crew members – seven Albanians and two Egyptians. The crew were rescued and airlifted to safety. The EDRO III weighs about 2.5 tons and is over 80 meters in length. Embarking on the ship is no longer permitted as it is dangerous.
Duration: 10 minutes
Pass By: Sea Caves, Agiou Geogiou Road, Paphos Cyprus
The area boasts caves, as well as spectacular rock formations, which have taken thousands of years to form. Earlier, when the human presence was less prominent, there were seals (Monachus monachus) inhabiting the caves, which added to the popularity of the area among the sightseers.
Stop At: Agios Georgios Harbour, Agios Georgios Cyprus
In this area, between 1952 and 1955, the Department of Antiquities of Cyprus excavated three Early Christian basilicas and a bath, all dated to the 6th century AD. The settlement was probably a port of call for the ships that transported grain from Egypt to Constantinople. The archaeological site next to St George’s is considered to be the most significant early Byzantine site in Cyprus.
Off of the coast lies Yeronisos Island (Holy Island) that is supposed to have been part of the mainland at some point. The archaeological findings have shown three major periods of settlement: Chalcolitic, Hellenistic and Early Byzantine.
There is a church you can visit, as well as catacombs, which are thought to have belonged to the earlier version of it, as well as a little scenic marina adding to the charm and the spectacular view of St George’s.
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Lara Bay Turtle Conservation Station, Akamas Peninsula, Paphos 8010 Cyprus
Akamas is the last large unspoiled coastal area remaining in Cyprus and one of the very few important sea turtle nesting grounds in the Mediterranean. Both the Loggerhead Turtle (Caretta-caretta) and the rarer Green Turtle (Chelonia mydas) nest in Turtle Bay; the latter depends on the Akamas beaches for its very survival in this region. The IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) lists Loggerheads as “vulnerable” and Green Turtles as an “endangered species”. According to the IUCN, the annual number of Green Turtle nesting females in the entire Mediterranean could be as low as 325-375. From end of May to September, you can see the nests that are protected by little enclosures.
In 1989 the Lara coastal region and adjacent sea was declared into a Protected Area. We explain more about the turtles as well.
At this stop, we swim and info about the turtles.
We stop in a cafe near Lara Beach were you can enjoy your lunch or have a snack/drink (not included in the price).
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Adonis Baths Water Falls, Coral Bay Area, Paphos Cyprus
Adonis Baths is one of the most beautiful and unique areas in Cyprus. Tradition says that Adonis, the God of Beauty, tended his horses in this place and hunted in the Akamas forest. According to Greek mythology, Adonis and Aphrodite had many children here, and the citizens of Paphos are supposed to be descendant of these two lovers.
Here, we stop for swimming. The entrance to Adonis bath and waterfalls is 7 Eur per person (not included)

Adonis waterfalls were the highlight, lovely swim to cool off and wash off some of the off-roading dust! Great trip overall, impressed by the proper off-roading experience.
Great job from the operators making sure everyone was catered for, top lads.

Don't book at this company, they don't allow you to drive to the best part of the island Akamas north part Blue lagoon and tell you they don't give you insurance.
As well the try to f you over with gasoline which it's not in the price included so you get the buggy empty heave to fill it up for around 30 $ and after the tour they can keep the rest of the gas.

The views were amazing and it was a proper off road tour so expect to get dirty and a few bumps on the way! Lots of information at the stops and the tour guides were very helpful and Informative! Adonis baths were spectacular and so refreshing although cold! Take some aqua shoes to go for a dip because it can be slippery! Worth every penny and will be the first thing we book next time we are in Cyprus!

Great experience and lovey people. We were got off the wrong stop and were running a bit late due to that and managed to give them a ring and they sent someone to pick us up. We were able to do the complete tour and the lunch was nice. Great service and thank you.

We would highly recommend this trip to anyone.
Me and my partner booked a buggy for this tour and could not fault.
The tour guides were fantastic and informative, we felt completely safe the whole journey. They managed the group amazingly especially on road routes. The guide who travelled on the motorbike along side the group would stop traffic at junctions & roundabouts to ensure the whole group passed/turned safely. They were very vigilant with the group and motors as well as patient and informative. With this being said you did still feel some independence on the tour, at each stop information was delivered but having the freedom to explore the destinations.
On the lunch stop, we opted for the preordered lunch which we chose on arrival. The guides served the food so lunch was effortless. When we first pulled up, the lunch location didn’t look up to much but felt shameful we judged so prematurely. Lunch was amazing and so filling and the staff were so friendly.
Although all the stops on this tour were incredible, the routes we took were breathtaking. Such an amazing way to see this beautiful island with a great mix of on and off road and experience. Again the tour guides were so fantastic and throughout the duration of the tour we felt we were advised when we would be off road and when to wear goggles. Would definitely recommend a face covering of some sort for the off road trails. Goggles were provided.
We had such a fantastic day and would highly recommend this tour company & tours to anyone visiting the area.

Very nice experience, we enjoyed it and would do it again even though we had the oldest buggy in the squad. Trip was good organised,but instructions and safety rules at the beginning should be intensified.Team was very professional and we felt safe.
