On this trip, you'll explore the Akamas peninsula by land and sea. And, rather than your typical coach set-up, you'll be in a 4x4 vehicle. The area is known for its natural beauty, so you're in for a real treat. Your day begins at Avakas Gorge, perhaps Cyprus' most impressive natural wonder, with a half-hour walk through its deep canyon with sheer walls of limestone that form a natural, narrow tunnel. Other star turns include Lara Beach, where a turtle conservation project has been protecting sea turtles for decades, enjoying lunch not far from Latchi harbour, and then a boat trip to the Blue Lagoon where you can take a dip in water so clear you'll see your toes.

Gerry our guide was fabulous really funny and friendly and informative The only part we didn’t like were some ignorant tourists on the boat didn’t worry about our clothes and were climbing over our bags to jump off the boat meaning our clothes were left soaking wet

First half of the day in the 4x4 was amazing, and our tour guide Jerry was fantastic, funny, good fun and very informative. We could have been better informed by the rep that decent walking footware was required as we thought we were just stopping to take pics but there was a 2km walk through a gorge over wet rocks where my wife slipped in flip flops. Boat trip was terrible with way too many people on the boat, probably breaching health and safety not enough seats and we were pushed out of our

I was unaware that I would be climbing up, over and down steep unstable rough and slippery terrain. I consider myself a healthy 62yr old who habitually walks 5miles but I found myself concentrating more on trying to return home without breaking any limbs than enjoying the experience. Our driver was a lovely local man, although the jeep was cramped and uncomfortable with 6 people who were squeezed on benches in the back without safety belts. The boat trip was far too overcrowded to be enjoyable.

The whole trip covered a lot of the things we wanted to see. Jerry the guide kept us amused and was very informative. It was a full day as was promised so we didn't feel short changed as it was one of the more expensive excursions

On the trip we first went to the mountains on a trail. The walk started ok but it then turned very dangerous and there were high risks of serious falls,so we turned back with other guests who had young children with them ,who also felt the same. By the time we got back to the starting point we then seen a sign stating enter at your own risk ,if we were aware of this at the time from the guide we would not of attempted it as it was too dangerous. The trip was not a good experience!!!

The walk to the grotto was too strenuous for our ages & mobility, nowhere to sit, no shade, very uneven so we had to turn back after 10 minutes & missed the grotto tour.
