The trip didn't get off to a good start and had to be changed from the original booking as trips such as this don't run on a Tuesday yet it let me book it for Tuesday. It was postponed to Wednesday then we received an email stating the trip didn't include lunch nor the Baths of Aphrodite as stated in the trip itinerary. Angelo was our Jeep Driver and arrived bang on time to pick us up from our hotel. We headed to the gauge and stopped en route to spot things and have a small guided tour. Our first stop was the Akamas Gauge It was a hike and slippery in parts. Sturdy footwear is definitely needed. Beautiful views and interesting. Then we headed to Lara Bay and the Turtle Conservation. We were able to watch nests being opened and baby turtles being taken out and released into the sea. Most hatch at night and head to the ocean but there were a few straglers today. Lara Bay is beautiful, such a sandy beach and just a wonderful place with a fabulous conservation area for the turtles. If the trip had lived upto its initial itinerary a 5* would have been given. Felt that we should have been informed way before 24hrs before the trip that the itinerary was wrong. Not good communication from Viator here.

We were collected from our hotel by Akis. He was very friendly and chatty. We got to hear about his ex wives, children, past jobs and political views, however this is where his imparting of knowledge stopped. The Land Rover he was driving Definitely had something wrong with it and it struggled in places you would hope a Land Rover wouldn’t. When we got to the gorge, Akis passed us over to his brother to walk us down through the nature reserve. We weren’t given any information about the site and just trudged down to the gorge where we stopped for about 2 minutes and then trudged back. We stopped once for him to point out goat poo and once for him to read off an information board. It was way too hot to do this walk in July and he told us that the day before a lady had to be taken to hospital with heat exposure. We were the driven to Lara bay, where we were expecting coffee and refreshments and to be ‘expertly’ told about the Turtle Conservation, we received neither. The whole trip was such a disappointment. My advice would be to drive to Lara Bay yourself and if you’re here in July or August please, please avoid the Gorges Nature Reserve, it’s just too exposed in the heat. We basically spent 2 hours being driven in a clamped out Land Rover and spent an hour on a beach next to the most basic of shacks serving warm soft drinks. NOT WORTH THE MONEY or time.

It is a fake advertisement, this price not includes the lunch and the Aphrodite bath. 3 hours of driving in an dirty uncomfortable car and no time for fun or looking around. Wasting time at a small bar without any attraction for the lunch of the drivers, who have run back for the next trip. DO NOT TAKE IT!

The first part of excursion was really nice. Gorge and the path are really amazing. Next stop Lara bay, but unfortunately there were no turtles - we only saw the turtles nests. Organizators didn’t brought us to the Third point -Aphrodite’s baths (explained that we ordered half day excursion and this point is not included. It is strange because neither in the ticket nor in the page there was not information re. this. ) Also in the offer and ticket there was mentioned that lunch is included, but appeared that not. A lot of things were not according offer, except this everything was nice.

You will see most of the highlights of Akamas, but you will not stay there for long. I would recommend going on your own. What we really did not like was that our group had to join other groups at the places we visited. If you get there you will be with more than 20 people walking around. The guide will tell something and that is it. I also think you could visit more places. After lunch we just went to a beach (because we did not want to go on a boat) and that was it for the afternoon. We were also not a fan of our guide. He was knowledgeable absolutely, but it felt also as he was just doing his job. We met the other guides, like George Michael (nick name) and he really did an effort. Unfortunately he was driving another jeep. In short, just spend your money on hiring a buggy of quad and go your own way.

It was great experience to go off-road. Experiencing Avakas Gorge was magnificent. Guide was also very funny and knowledgeable. But some of the stop-points were a bit dull and left me wondering that maybe there is something better in the beautiful scenery of Cyprus that is worth seeing. But overall, it was a nice and valuable trip with a number of pictures and experiences to remember.

The trip was fantastic and the gorge was worth the price alone. I would have liked to go to the blue lagoon also but had a great time at the beach with the family. I have a 4, 6, 14 and 16 year old and they all enjoyed it and all walked with everyone else! Special mention to our driver Costa who returned my phone after it was left in the back of the jeep, thank you a 1000 times for bringing it back to us.

Really enjoyed the trip. Picked up from our hotel on time. The driver added to the trip by his knowledge of the island and his sense of humour. Would definitely recommend.

Really enjoyed this tour. Would easily come back and do it again. Andonis is so full of history and local present knowledge its phenomenal. Hes a funny guide so friendly and full of energy. We visited quite a few places and how we managed it all in a day I dont quite remember! A tip from myself is dependant on how quickly you complete the tour, Andonis gave us the option to swim in the sea. None of the people in our group had swim gear with us.

Everything went smoothly. The sights were interesting and our guide made sure we had a great experience. I enjoyed the short hike in the gorge and the stops to sample herbs and fruits. I felt our guide really wanted us to have a great time,and I did!

It was the best safari that i've ever had! We visited so many interesting places and they were all so interesting. But the reason why our group liked that trip was amazing driver Konstantin he told us a lot of interesting stories and he was very friendly)

It was a great deal for me and 2 friends because we wanted to visit all these places by ourselves . It's not recommended to do it for yourselves. The places are too far away from each other, so this "Safari jeep" it's the perfect choice. The guides are very cool and funny! It was the best 40€ spended from that day 😂 Keep the good job, guys! We definitely return to Cyprus and we take another ride to see different places!

A must-do! Although a bumpy road (also known as “safari massage” 😂), we loved every second. Got to see places of the Akamas peninsula, you cannot see by bus or car. Lara Bay was stunning, enjoyed the baths of Aphrodite, seeing the fields of bananas, lemons and oranges... The lunch was huge! Definitely did not expect such a feast. We are at a restaurant by the sea, with lovely views, delicious food and good service. Highly recommend this trip.

I am going to keep this review short. Unbelievable-You must do it. See parts of the island you have never seen. Tour guide was informative. Amazing.

From start to finish this trip was the highlight of our holiday. Only four of us in the jeep and an extremely polite, personable and knowledgeable driver (Paul). Shipwrecks, plantations, Turtles, Eagles, Off roading, lunch by the sea,local villages, excellent experience and one I would recommend to anyone.

Evis safari trip was a great day out. Picked up and dropped off at our hotel. We remained with the same driver throughout the day which started at 0830 and finished at 1730. We visited many sites throughout the day including the Blue Lagoon, Turtle bay, Aphrodite’s waterfall, swimming at the Blue lagoon area and later in the fresh waters at the waterfall, lunch at a local Taverna and constantly being fed information on sites, history, conservation, local flora/fauna/wildlife and capped off with the humorous anecdotes of the very wise and funny yet professional Evis. Anyone going on a SAFARI would expect a bumpy ride at times but the Land-rovers coped well with the terrain. Definitely worth the 109 Euros for two adults and a child.

The jeep arrived promptly at the meeting point and we set off with eight passengers. Chris, the driver kept us well informed about Cyprus in general and the views as we went along. It was really a very enjoyable trip and we were able to see parts of the peninsula that we could not have visited on our own.

Tour driver (James) was good fun and knowledgeable. Gave us good info about what we saw, where we went and lunch was quite nice. But overall very expensive trip for what you get on the day
Bit disappointed
