Uncovering some of Cyprus' wildest landscapes is what this half-day 4x4 tour is all about. You'll get to see the wildlife-rich Avakas Gorge and Lara Beach, as well as learn all about the efforts of the Cyprus Turtle Conservation Project. Then, you'll head to Lara Bay for the chance to take a dip, relax with a coffee and most importantly, snap some Instaworthy pics.

Everything from the moment we have been picked up from hotel to the end of the experience was really good. Our guide Antonis was fun and very knowledgeable, great photographer too. We enjoyed the ride to the canyon, stopping by the turtle sanctuary and nice beaches. Would recommend this experience to our friends.

Overall brilliant experience + Antonis was a great guide. The seat belts didnt always work on the jeep though.

Amazing half day The guide Antonia’s was very thoughtful and informative. He made our day very enjoyable thank you

The guide arrived at our hotel in the jeep to collect us. There were already 5 people on board and we were crammed in the back on side way seats then collected another person. It was not comfortable and the jeep had seen better days. On arrival had a pleasant short walk up the gorge, nothing particularly amazing. Then drove to a beach to see where the turtles come to nest and finally a trip to a cove where you could swim if you wanted to. Not a particularly interesting trip.

It was fun from beginning to end the driver was fab and so were the other ladies we travelled with it was so much fun and the walk wow and views we saw during the trip one of the best we have had Thank you
