What to expect

There's only one way to explore Cyprus's last wilderness – in a 4x4 vehicle. This off-road adventure will take you on a bumpy ride through the rugged Akamas peninsula. You'll get to see the wildlife-rich Avakas Gorge and Lara Bay, visit Port Latchi and the mythical Baths of Aphrodite. An action-packed day.

Home to more than 160 species of birds and almost 40 species of plants, the entire peninsula is a national park. There are no main roads – just dirt tracks and pathways. The fun kicks off with a drive to the giant limestone walls of the Avakas Gorge. Next up is Lara Bay. This very remote spot – even by Akamas peninsula standards – is home to a breeding station for protected green turtles.

It's time to rev up the engine again for a trip to Port Latchi. Then, in the afternoon you'll visit the Baths of Aphrodite. Legend has it that the Greek goddess of love used to bathe here with her lover, Adonis. Legend also has it that the waters have magical rejuvenating properties.

Overpriced for what it was. Nice to see more of the island and our driver Gerry was excellent, but the experience was pretty underwhelming and overpriced. If it had been £30 per person, or had included lunch then maybe worth it.

Easy booking on the app. Really excellent driver guide Gerry who was friendly, informative & helpful throughout the day. We sat in the back of the jeep & were comfortable enough. Our seatbelts worked well & we felt safe on the very bumpy roads. We were offered the opportunity to swap seats at each stop but we were happy where we were. The stops were varied and we really enjoyed exploring the area.

The guides were cheerful, friendly and knowledgeable. The gorge, the turtle breeding beach, turtle museum and exploring the Aphrodite bath area (self-guided) were all enjoyable and varied. We had brought a packed lunch, as advised, but we were given time to eat at a restaurant if we wished. We were lucky enough to be sitting on the seats not the bench of the 4x4.

Guides were friendly and knowledgeable loved the whole day. Walk was over uneven ground but worth it. Where we stopped for lunch which was optional as not included in the price was excellent value for money.

Our guide was friendly and helpful-all the elements of the tour were interesting. The unmade roads make for bumpy ride but to be expected. Where a short hike (1.5-2km) is involved it would be helpful to indicate.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Explorer-Inspired Family Snorkel Quest in Cyprus

As you gaze at the clear, turquoise waters of Paphos Harbour, it's easy to imagine Mother Nature has everything under control. But she could do with your helping hand to balance the human impact on the seas. This conservation-based snorkelling experience has been developed exclusively for National Geographic Day Tour guests and invites you and your family to do more than simply admire and swim in the Mediterranean. It's your chance to learn about and care for the sea and everything that calls it home.You'll begin by meeting a local marine biologist, your guide on this conservation quest. He'll tell you about Dr. Emily Duncan, a National Geographic Explorer, whose research on plastics and the local turtles is the inspiration for this tour. You'll learn about threats to these creatures and the wider ocean's ecosystem and what you can do to help turn the tide and protect them.You'll set sail armed with a waterproof board and pen to help identify and record different species among the seagrass meadows and rocky reefs. During this guided 90-minute experience, which includes the boat ride and snorkelling time, you'll be on the lookout for rainbow wrasse, blue-spotted cornet fish and endangered loggerhead and green sea turtles. As fun as filling in your fishy bingo card is, you'll be contributing important research to the Citizen Science Initiative and supporting the conservation of precious marine life. Round off the tour with an eco-pledge, empowering you to care for and protect the oceans for generations to come.
