Snorkel with sea turtles in Paphos, Cyprus using sea scooters, with conservation tips, free photos, and transport from Tomb of the Kings.
“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!”

“Not sure where to start, my husband waited to be picked up, I phoned them up, told it was 9am. He had been waiting since 8am. The driver didn’t speak. I asked if he wanted to see the confirmation he just shook his head. My husband got in the van. Apparently he never spoke to him all the way to the office and when there pointed to a QR code no reason why. He didn’t have his phone so the man disappeared came back with paperwork by this time my husband was feeling uneasy in the situation considering they would be diving he didn’t feel comfortable doing it with this…”
Jeep safari from Paphos to sea caves, Avakas Gorge, Lara Bay turtles, Latchi harbor, Aphrodite Baths, and a donkey farm stop.
“I was expecting (hoping) to hike the gorge. Instead, the group was allowed five whole minutes in there. All five stops were rushed. A bit of a disappointing tour, to be honest.”
4-hour Larnaca Bay glass-bottom boat cruise with fishing, Zenobia shipwreck snorkeling, swimming stops, and Cypriot BBQ plus open bar.
“As a group of 3 we really enjoyed the whole activity. It was perfectly balanced between fishing, music/dance/drinks and swimming. The boat was not too full. Eleni might have been the perfect guide for this trip and we thank her for the image, the drinks and the good time! Definitely recommended.”
