5 Cyprus Jeep Safaris in Ayia Napa to Build a Day Around

1.Caves Jeep Safari from Protaras & Ayia Napa

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 387 reviews · 4 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $60Our pick

Ride a Land Rover through eastern Cyprus with a driver-guide such as Tony, Bambos, Pano, or Christopher. You’ll visit Cape Greko, Konnos Bay, sea caves, Lover’s Bridge, Agioi Saranta chapel, and Cyclops Cave, with time for swimming, photos, and a bumpy off-road run.

“It was great that we got to see parts of the island but the great stops there. No water for passengers in 30deg heat, no information about what we were seeing, basically the jeep driver dropped us off at different places and said walk down there or up there have a look and come back, he didn’t even come with us to tell us about any of what we were looking at or visiting, we learnt absolutely nothing about the island or what we saw, best part of the whole trip was being dropped back at our hotel, utter waste of money.”

2.Troodos Jeep Safari from Protaras,Ayia napa & Larnaca

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 185 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $96

Spend about nine hours crossing Cyprus toward the Troodos Mountains in a Land Rover with a local driver-guide such as Adam, John, or Panagiotis. Expect monastery frescoes, a waterfall, village lunch, wine tasting, and some off-road driving, though most of the route uses paved roads.

“We had a lot of fun on this trip! Visited beautiful small villages and amazing views! We loved the wine tasting as well although it was pretty short. The waterfall is very small and there is not enough space for swimming. But we fully enjoyed the day, our guide was awesome and we enjoyed the time with the others on the trip🙌”

3.Grand Tour Jeep Safari with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 155 reviews · 8h 30m · from $109

Leave Ayia Napa in a small Land Rover group and cross Cyprus by road and dirt track. Visit Lefkara, Mesa Potamos Falls, Pano Platres, a winery and Omodos, with lunch and hotel pickup included. English is standard, German support is available at each stop.

“Warum schreibt man, dass es eine deutsche Reiseleitung gibt? Man ist fast ausschließlich mit einem englischsprachigen Fahrer unterwegs, der kein Wort deutsch spricht. Die Abholung erfolgte bereits zu spät, unterwegs hatte der Jeep Panne (naja, 958 Tkm auf dem Tacho), Ersatzwagen kam schnell (mehr als 1 Mio km auf dem Tacho), der Platz hinter dem Fahrer nur für kurzbeinige Menschen, max. 1,50 m geeignet, den ersten Stop in Lefkara kann man sich wirklich sparen, ganz furchtbar. Ebenso die Weinprobe, der Redner war ja vielleicht witzig, aber auch nur auf englisch. Das Mittagessen war reichlich und nicht schlecht, aber wer schon mal in einer echten zypriotischen Taverne gegessen hat, weiß, dass…”

5.Famagusta & Blue Lagoon Jeep Safari & Boat Combination

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 65 reviews · 8 - 9 hours · from $111

Spend 8 to 9 hours crossing Cyprus by Land Rover and boat. Visit Famagusta, view Varosha from outside, explore Venetian walls, then cruise to the Blue Lagoon for swimming, snorkeling, lunch, and a second swim stop. Small groups and guides in English, German, or Polish make this a lively day out.

“Really happy with this activity/expedition. We had a funny, experienced guide who was full of knowledge. Farmagusta was a ghost town, and we got to see how the Ottomans invaded parts of Cyprus. The food on the boat was excellent. Finishing the day with swimming in the Blue Lagoon and a bit of dancing on the boat was very fun.”
