“I warmly recommend Chris's tour. We paid 5 Euro to be picked up from our hotel (it wasn't on the list but I reached out) and were offered many options for lunch. We each got a quad (ATV/traktoron) and followed him to all the sites. At the end, he drove us back to our hotel. It was a 5 hour experience overall. We went in December, so it wasn't dusty at all. We didn't swim but also we had pristine beaches all to ourselves and it was magical and thrilling all at the same time!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 107 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $102

Drive a quad or buggy from Paphos along Riccos Beach and Mandria, then climb toward Asprokremmos Dam and the villages of Nata and Episkopi. Costas and the local team provide equipment, safety guidance, water, and a Cyprus coffee stop. Expect dust, public roads, mountain tracks, and a small group of up to eight people.

“The baddest Customer Support I have ever experienced. Unfortunately, our experience with the buggy safari in Cyprus was very disappointing. After booking through the platform 'Viator,' we had to contact the provider by phone as we were not picked up as agreed. They informed us that the tour would be postponed to the next day. While the tour itself was decent, it lasted only two hours instead of the booked four. Additionally, it was not possible for both participants to enjoy the better off-road tracks: only I was allowed to drive them, while my girlfriend was restricted to asphalt or less challenging paths. At the end, we were simply left…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 68 reviews · 8 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $66

Spend about eight and a half hours in a 4x4 exploring the Troodos Mountains from Paphos. You’ll visit Kykkos Monastery, Roudias Bridge, waterfalls, Omodos, and Aphrodite’s Rock, with forest tracks adding a bumpy safari ride. Guides such as Vasos, George, Lambros, and Thalis have helped make this a lively day, but vehicle comfort and guiding can vary.

“we were seated in the back if the jeep which was very uncomfortable for 10hrs. first coffee stop was too long and not worth it. adonis falls was a tiny trickle of water and not worth the visit. Venetian bridge was also disappointing and we were there for far too long. We were given 40minutes for a wine tasting that didn't happen because the shop owner wanted people to buy a bottle before they could taste anything. Finally, we were given only 15 minutes at Aphrodites birthplace -not enough time to use the bathing suit and water shoes we had worn/carried the whole day. The whole point of Aphrodites birthplace…”

8.Land Rover Akamas Blue Lagoon Jeep Safari

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 47 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $72

Spend about seven hours exploring western Cyprus in a small Land Rover group of up to eight. Visit sea caves, walk Avakas Gorge, stop at Lara Bay, see the Akamas Peninsula from above, bathe at Aphrodite’s Baths, and swim at the Blue Lagoon. Drivers such as Evros and Debbie add local context, though the ride is genuinely rough.

“A good day out seeing the countryside. Evros had lots to share as we traveled, and willingly stopped for photo ops. Some seats in the car were preferable to others and he had us change seats after each stop, a welcome idea! The Avakas Gorge provided a good walk and impressive scenery. Even though it wasn't the season for turtles, Evros had a video so we could see the hatchlings head to the sea. Definitely worth doing!”

Ride from Paphos into Cyprus’s rough Akamas country with an English-speaking driver-guide. You’ll visit Avakas Gorge and Lara Beach, with the full-day option adding an Akamas viewpoint and Baths of Aphrodite. Guides such as Rhion, Panicos, Rick, and Michael have been praised for lively stories about local nature and history.

“This trip was great, however we didn’t actually see the turtles as advertised as they weren’t around until May. So it shouldn’t be advertised as such. I think it’s also quite expensive for what was included and compared to other tours I have done with this company.”

13.Grand Tour Full Day Jeep Safari from Larnaka

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 29 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $111

From Larnaca, spend about eight hours in an original jeep visiting Lefkara, Mesa Potamos Waterfalls, a local winery, Platres, and Omodos. Hotel pickup, lunch, and wine tasting are included. Guides such as George Michael bring humor and local insight, but the old jeeps can be rough and cramped, especially in the back.

“This was an amazing tour! Our driver/guide George Michael was absolutely fantastic and maybe the most fun guide I have ever had on any tour. The original Land Rovers are also super cool, if not the most comfortable jeeps ever. But vehicular history on wheels. The restaurant where we had lunch was way beyond the usual stop on regular tours. This place was spectacular with plenty of great food and wine. Would highly recommend this tour, and if you can, request to ride with George Michael. 🙂”

KOURION Quad Safari 3,5hrs

14.KOURION Quad Safari 3,5hrs

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 28 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.)

Ride a two-person quad from Limassol toward Lady’s Mile Beach, Akrotiri Salt Lake, sand hills, turtle beaches, a shipwreck, and Kourion Beach. You’ll receive a safety briefing, helmet, fuel, and a guide. The route mixes city roads, beach stops, photo breaks, and rougher terrain, with time for snacks but not lunch.

“We specifically reserved 2 buggy’s and 1 ATV from the drop down menu. When we got there for our tour, they only had 2 buggy’s which they had already assigned to someone else. I brought it up, but was told “the vehicles are all the same”. Obviously they are not, hence the drop down menu to choose your vehicle, plus they are different prices too. So we drove a while on urban roads. When we finally arrived to an area that was flat and isolated, we figured we would do “doughnuts” and maybe race each other a bit, but no. We were there 5 min and departed to a beach…”

Spend about five hours cruising from Larnaca Marina toward the Zenobia wreck, Cape Greco, sea caves, Blue Lagoon, and the edge of Famagusta. Swim from the boat, use the snorkeling gear and sun beds, then enjoy a buffet lunch and open bar. Pickup is offered from many hotels, though central Larnaca stays are usually within walking distance.

“This trip was an absolute blast and the staff was amazing. There is free drinks as you go to 3 beautiful swimming spots and the crew does a great job entertaining along the way. After the 3rd stop there is a delicious buffet. The boat doesn’t go all the way back to Larnaca but they give you a coach ride back from Ayia napa.”
