Breathtaking Akamas Quad/Buggy Safari: Falls, Turtles & BBQ!

We booked easily through Trip Advisor online and was able to get pick up from a hotel next door to where we were staying for an extra €10 each. Jantina collected us in a jeep. She was punctual at picking everybody up from their collection points. From the off, Jantina was welcoming, friendly and warm. She was lovely to chat to and had us all laughing during the journey. As well as this, Jantina was very knowledgeable and told us some interesting information about Cyprus. Thank you for making the journey to and from the departure point entertaining. When we arrived, we were given a safety talk and filled out a bit of paperwork. Remember your drivers license if you are driving! They will collect these in, but you get these back at the end. After this, we all jumped in our motors and set off. Goggles are provided and these are big enough to fit over glasses. Neckerchiefs are available to buy at €3 if you do not have one. The buggies have plenty of space in the 'boot' to hold bags. There is a guide at the front and a guide at the back. When driving, you keep in a line and the guide at the front always checks that everybody is ok. We felt safe throughout the trip, as we were in good hands. The tour guides also check that you are OK and that the buggy/quad is ready before you set off each time. Our first stop was Adonis Falls. We had 40 minutes here, which was a good amount of time. We arrived early before all the crowds arrived, so you could get some good photographs and have a swim/dip before it got busy. Entry to the falls is €15 not €10 like the company says in their email. Next, we drove to the Edro III shipwreck. The guide gives you a short back story to the shipwreck and surrounding area before you can go and take photos. Here you have 10 minutes. Our third and final stop was Lara Beach. Here, you have 1 hour. You can either swim and sunbathe at the beach or get a bite to eat from the restaurant. We wanted to do both, but unfortunately, it took the chef a long time to prepare our toasted sandwich and chips (€7), which meant we had no time to swim in the sea. Saying that, our lunch was very tasty and was a good portion size. The prices on the menu were reasonable, too. Other tours do stop here later on, so I'd recommend ordering food as soon as you arrive if you are hungry to beat the crowds. Though, in the future, I think we'd bring our own lunch. I do feel this stop should be a little longer at 1 hour and 30 minutes at least. After this stop, it was a drive back to the start point and this is where the tour ends. Once we'd finished, we were provided with a fresh, cool flannel each to wipe our faces. I liked that there wasn't a huge group of us in the tour in total, roughly around 15 people. The company tries to get you to places before the crowds, which is a great bonus. There is a good amount of driving time between the stops (which is what we all book for - to drive the buggies/quads). You ride on different terrain - roads and off track. You do get dusty, so ensure you are wearing clothes you don't mind getting dirty. From start to finish, the trip was well organised and efficient. I'd definitely recommend booking with Chris Andreou for buggy/quad tours. When we are back in Cyprus, we will be booking again, but this time, we would love to try the quads! We are looking forward to our next adventure with you!

Loved my experience. Staff was friendly, personable, knowledgeable, and professional. The tour was well mapped out and fun. I loved all the stops and felt we had just enough time in each location without having to feel worn out by the end of the day like with some other tours. Riding the quad up the mountain to the waterfalls was an exhilarating experience. I was definitely nervous as the trek was a bit high up but I was made to feel very comfortable despite my phobia. Overall i would highly recommend and even do it again. To the wonderful woman who picked me up from the hotel: you mentioned you always forget to look up how the water is purified in Cyprus and this is your reminder 😊 thank you again for a great experience.

We all had a great time very friendly staff the only thing I would say is eat before you leave as we ordered food at Lara bay which took a while to come and never left much time at the beach. Plenty of time on the quads.

Tour was fun! Staff were great:). Highly recommend. Sites were so beautiful and the ride was exciting!

Amazing morning out on the buggy. Great communication and friendly staff. Going early in the day meant that we had the waterfall and baths to ourselves!! Be prepared for the dust lol. Would highly recommend x

Been out on this experience today and thoroughly enjoyed it. Good communication from booking onwards. Good fun and great guides throughout. Good value for money and would recommend

Absolutely amazing experience couldn’t fault the service from start to finish and fairly priced too. They made sure we beat the crowds at the attractions and got the best experiences there, we will definitely be returning to do it again.

It was a really amazing trip. We were with my daughter and we really enjoyed those 4 hours. In a word, perfect. We will definitely do it again when we come back here. Thank you for the great experience.

We had a great time, with Nick and Chris on the Buggy’s very friendly and a great experience. We were picked up from our hotel even though it was not on the list of hotels, and the lady was very friendly a great experience from start to finish worth going on this trip. Enjoy!

It was me and two others in a three person buggy and we were in a small group with a couple and a child and her dad. The tour guide was very nice we stopped off at different places and were given around 20-30 minutes at each place to explore. The freedom was really nice as we weren’t rushed anywhere and had enough time to look at everything. Obviously the track was dusty but we knew this and they gave us goggles and we could buy bandanas before we left which were very useful. Lots of space in the back of the buggy’s or bags. The lady that picked us up close to the hotel was lovely. Definitely a trip worth going on if you want to experience more of Cyprus.
