From Shipwreck to Blue Lagoon — Iconic Full-Day Tour from Paphos

Highlights

Inclusions

Itinerary

1. Board your boat in Latchi and sail into paradise — after a scenic 40-minute cruise along the wild Akamas coastline, the legendary Blue Lagoon Cyprus reveals itself in all its glory. Crystal-clear turquoise waters, hidden coves, and untouched nature await. Swim, snorkel, or simply float and let the Mediterranean magic do the rest — this is Cyprus at its most breathtaking.

   2.5 h

2. Welcome to Latchi — a tranquil fishing village where the Mediterranean pace of life is still beautifully intact. Watch colorful boats drift lazily in the bay, savour freshly caught seafood at a cozy waterfront taverna, and let the authentic Cypriot coastal charm wash over you. The perfect moment to slow down before the next adventure.

   1.5 h

3. Where the goddess of love once sought solitude, nature has created something truly magical. The Baths of Aphrodite and the enchanting Fountain of Love nestle quietly at the heart of the wild Akamas Peninsula — a cool, vine-shaded sanctuary where ancient myth feels surprisingly close. Breathe in the fragrant wild herbs, follow the coastal trails, and let the legend of Aphrodite transport you somewhere beyond the ordinary.

   30 minAdmission included

4. The dramatic Edro III Shipwreck lies stranded along Cyprus's wild coastline like a forgotten giant — its weather-beaten hull a silent witness to the power of the sea. Explore the mysterious sea caves carved into the white cliffs nearby, where light dances on the water and every hidden bay tells a story. A hauntingly beautiful finale to an unforgettable day.

• 3The lady leading the tour...

  The lady leading the tour was quite rude and uncomfortable, the food wasnt that good, the waitress in the restaurant they took us also wasnt very polite. Other than that the plan itself was nice and we got to see nice things.

• 2We amended the tour and...

  We amended the tour and the operator didn’t. When we received the picking up instructions I didn’t notice the date change until the morning. The operator wouldn’t accommodate us on the earlier date we had booked despite all records confirming the tour was for the earlier date. It was only when Viator got involved that they allowed us to join a half day tour of just the boat and transfer but wouldn’t offer this originally even though they had seats available. The boat trip itself was lovely and an easy transfer from bus to boat. However, as we hadn’t noticed the changed in date in pick up instructions (who would expect the date to change?) they won’t give us any refund even though we only got the half day tour but paid for the full day. Viator were Really good in helping us when the tour fell through but won’t refund us either. Very disappointed with the attitude and helpfulness.

• 2Great Boat Trip, Unfriendly Tour Operator

  Note: Please note I deleted my previous review, and posted this one. I did this because I mentioned a competitor in the original review. When I used to have a product review channel I always compared alternatives to provide a reference point (as is good practice in reviews). However, the operator wasn't happy with this, and out of respect for the vendor I have redacted the name of the competing operator (given this is a dedicated page for this vendor and not a generic review channel). ---------- We booked this tour while staying in Paphos, and unfortunately it turned out to be a disappointment. Let me be absolutely clear, I completely understand the need for some rules. Asking people to return to the bus on time is perfectly reasonable, as it is unfair for everyone else to be kept waiting. Likewise, prohibiting food and drinks on the bus makes sense if the company wants to keep the coach clean for future customers. However, the atmosphere throughout the bus journey went far beyond simply enforcing sensible rules. From the moment we boarded, the tone felt hostile and overly authoritarian rather than welcoming. At one point, our guide spent around 30 minutes talking about the island and instructed everyone not to talk during that time so people could hear her. While I appreciate that guests should be respectful, the overall delivery felt more like a lecture than a holiday excursion. There were also signs stating that anyone who vomited on the bus would be fined €20. I understand that cleaning up such a mess is unpleasant, but vomiting is not something people choose to do. This policy also makes the tour feel particularly unfriendly towards families with young children. Anyone who has children knows that accidents can happen despite the best efforts of parents. If the company does not want to accommodate that possibility, it should make it clear before people book that this is not a family-friendly tour, rather than displaying signs that feel like threats. Also, note that sea sickness tables should not be given to children below a certain age without consulting a doctor. I can understand the difficulties that tour operators have, and so I didn't let all this bother me. However, things got considerably worse when we were reboarding the bus after the first stop. One of my children must have stepped in a small muddy puddle without me noticing. The driver immediately began complaining about mud on the bus. I apologised, asked my son to scrape his shoes, and personally checked that they were clean before boarding. There were no mud attached to bottom of the shoes (obviously it was dry, being 38 degrees, so moisture would quickly disappears in the heat), but I still asked my son to scrape on the asphalt (there was no mat) as I could see the bus driver wasn't happy and I wanted to peacefully resolve the situation. Even after doing this, the driver continued his tirade in Greek. Unfortunately for him, I also speak Greek, so I asked him, "What exactly would you like me to do now?" The bus driver started going on rant about how you would not bring in mud in your own house, etc... It was clear he had a negative disposition towards tourists, and he was looking for an escuse to have a tirade. And to address his metaphor about bringing mud in a house, houses typically have a mat so one can wipe their shoes on them before entering them. If you expect that people enter the bus like they enter a house, then put a mat outside and ask people to wipe their shoes on it. The whole situation was completely unnecessary, and the trip felt like it had an oppressive atmosphere - it felt you were walking on glass. What made this even more ironic was that the company's very first stop was in an area covered in fine dust and dirt that inevitably gets on everyone's shoes. If cleanliness is such a major concern, it seems an odd place to stop. To make matters worse, the bus itself discharged water near the front door whenever it stopped, creating puddles that passengers naturally had to walk through. For context, my wife and I have been on many organised tours around the world. We are respectful travellers, follow instructions, and have never had any issues with tour operators before. The disappointing part is that the boat trip itself was actually very enjoyable. The Blue Lagoon was beautiful, the children had a fantastic time swimming and jumping into the water, and that part of the day was exactly what we had hoped for. My impression is that the company has probably dealt with irresponsible or intoxicated tourists in the past and has responded by treating every customer as though they are a problem waiting to happen. Whether that's true or not, it isn't the experience I expect when paying for a holiday excursion. I cannot recommend this tour operator, particularly for families with children. For comparison, we also went on the [NAME REDUCTED AT THE REQUEST OF THE VENDOR], which had a genuinely friendly atmosphere, fantastic staff, and was much more enjoyable for both adults and children. Please note, I have written this review precisely and carefully (been an experienced youtube product reviewer). I am not saying there should be no rules. Encouraging people to be on time is reasonable, telling people not to drink and eat on the bus is reasonable. Telling people politely listen while important information is said, is reasonable. Recommending people to bring sea sickness tables is reasonable. Telling your customers, however, to be quiet like it is secondary school for most of the trip is ridiculous. Telling that you will fine them if they vomit is not reasonable. Expecting parents to supervise their children, perfectly reasonable. However, having a bus driver give a tirade because a parent hasn't seen and controlled every footstep their child has done is really bad. The hostile nature you have towards your customers isn't reasonable, the oppressive atmosphere on the tour is horrible. And finally, no madam, I don't care whether it's customary to leave a tip for the driver. On this occasion, I chose not to.
