We continued to Lara Bay, the nesting ground of the Green and Loggerhead turtles and home to the turtle conservation project. If you are lucky, you may even see the baby turtles hatching (end of July to October). There will be time for swimming at this secluded paradise beach followed by free time for lunch at a nearby tavern (not included in the price).

Great trip - Took the bus615 from the harbour terminal to coral Bay then got 616 bus to the bottom of the hill near the zoo ask driver to tell when to get off but be weary there is a walk of about 1km up hill once you have done the zoo there is a courtesy bus back to coral Bay then you get the615 back to paphos .when you set off from terminal at the harbour paphos if you ask they will gie you a timetable for the616 they are very helpful .the cost 9euros for 2 which is not bad this is just an option if you cannot get on the zoo bus

Enjoyable relaxed tour - Excellent and relaxed trip seeing some of the more natural aspects of Cyprus. Swimming at Lara beach was a particular highlight as was the walk through the gorge. Our guide was very knowledgeable and full of interesting information.

AMAZING DAY - This day trip was lovely, we got to see so many beautiful sights, we had regular points to rest or swim etc, the tour guide Eva was lovely, funny and very informative, the driver Dimitri was also very friendly and was able to drive us safely from place to place. I would highly recommend this tour, especially to see Avakas Gorge as this was my highlight! Not to mention the convenient hotel pick up and drop off.

Excellent tour - Perfect day out. Great English speaking guide Ulla, many thanks, she makes this trip so special, learned a lot about the different plants and animals in Cyprus. No offence to buy anything, so this was great and pleasant trip. Mini bus is used because Turtle beach is kinda difficult to reach, basically it's off road. Beach with turtles is not equipped with stuff for tourists (and that's actually great), just amazing crystal clear waters and sand, this place is totally worth to visit.

Superb trip! - Thoroughly enjoyable day out. The caves are spectacular while swimming in Turtle Bay was amazing with the warm water and perfectly secluded. Our guide was also superb. A lovely woman and extremely knowledgeable about the whole area.

Fun day out - A fun trip out with some nice sights. I especially enjoyed Avakas Gorge, but definitely make sure you have the right shoes! Even if you don't make it to the end (it gets tricky stepping over wet rocks) you still get some nice scenery. Unfortunately you don't see turtles (something I was looking forward to out of my own stupidity as they come out at night) but the beach is still nice, the waves can get big though and there isn't really anywhere to get dry/dressed so plan your clothing! The second restaurant for lunch was OK but there's not much choice if you don't like fish and it's also a touch pricey.

A very informative day out! - We enjoyed this trip, the tour guide & driver were very friendly, which put everyone at ease from the start. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the whole area, and it's history. The Swiming stop was excellent, and the walk at Avakas Gorge was well worth the 30 mins up hill walk, as you had a number of stops on the way to hear about the local history. There was a lunch stop which you had to pay for, the service was a little slow due to the number of other visitors, but the food was tasty.

Day full of nature. - Trip and the places we visited where nice and I loved the Akamas Gorge. The bus was on time or even little bit earlier so that was great. I had no idea that the tour will be 2 language one so we had to guides on for Russian speaking people and the other one English. I picked the English one and she didn't give to much information, some time it seemed that Russian guide Irina had more information to share Russian speaking people. Our first stop was banana plantation we didn't have any bananas to try but we had figs fig trees there so we found figs to try. After that we headed to the Akamas gorge. The coastal line is really pretty for pictures. I really loved the gorge. The tour guide takes you at a point and after that your on your own to explore. I went further that everybody else and found some wild goats roaming around. After that we headed to a coffee stop where your able to change your cloths for the next stop witch was turtle beach. There you see a lot of turtle nests and have time to swim. Unfortunate when I was there I didn't saw any turtles hatching but there where trails, I guess I wasn't the lucky one :) After that we went for a lunch around 1.45 so it was late lunch. After that we where heading back home but on our way back we saw Sea caves and a shipwreck. One sad part is that on their list of things we are going to see we didn't saw and that was the Saint George Church witch was sad because they mentioned before heading to lunch but we didn't saw or talked about that. So that was a disappointment. other than that I enjoyed the nature I saw. It is worth of the money. And the company gives you a bottle of a water.
