★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 157 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $72Our pick

Meet your guide at the Tombs of the Kings in Paphos for a four-hour turtle-watching trip. After a safety briefing, you’ll use provided snorkeling gear and a shared sea scooter to reach turtles in their natural habitat. Guides such as Nicholas, Chris, Stelios, and Andreas offer patient help, conservation details, fruit, water, and free turtle photos.

“We got to hang out with the beautiful logger head turtles! They did not seem to mind at all. Loved having the water scooters too! It was a bit chilly in October already, so I do wish they offered wetsuits (they do in May). Also, I do wish they made a point to take photos of the guests with the turtles and the area we saw with the ancient pottery made for a choppy swim, so if asked, I would skip that area, but definitely worth hanging with the turtles!”

3.Guided snorkeling trip to the turtles in Protaras

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 13 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $90

Meet at 3:00 pm or arrange pickup in Protaras, Pernera, or Agia Napa for a roughly three-hour turtle snorkeling trip at Green Bay Beach. Cyprus Diving Centre uses a maximum group size of four and includes time with turtle specialists. You may even help name a turtle newly recorded for the Xenios conservation database.

“We got to see a green sea turtle up close, although it was being pursued by about 4 tourists. We expected to have more than 45 minutes in the water. Much of our time was spent in the dive center learning about the sea turtle protection program - a noble endeavor—but longer than expected.”
