Paphos, on the sun-drenched west coast of Cyprus, offers a rugged coastline where history and nature collide. Golden Ride Rentals & Safari invites adventurers to a 5-hour Quad and Buggy safari that reveals some of the area’s wildest and most intriguing spots. From off-road thrills to the chance to swim on a turtle nesting beach, this tour offers an immersive, action-packed experience for riders of all skill levels.
The journey begins near the Coral Bay area of Peyia, where the coast's jagged sea caves set the stage. Among these natural caverns lies the haunting silhouette of the EDRO III shipwreck, a Sierra Leone-flagged cargo ship that grounded here in 2011. Its plasterboard cargo long gone, the rusted hull now serves as a dramatic photo backdrop amidst striking limestone cliffs and clear blue water.
Next, the safari threads through St George’s Harbour, a site rich with archaeological finds and picturesque harborside views. From there, riders venture inland to the Akamas Reserve, a protected area known for its rare flora and as a vital nesting area for endangered loggerhead turtles. A refreshing swim at Lara Bay’s turtle conservation beach offers an up-close encounter with Cyprus’ marine life.
The tour’s finale is the famed Adonis Baths, where cascading freshwater trickles over smooth rocks into inviting pools. Steeped in myth, this spot reportedly hosted the legendary meeting of Aphrodite and Adonis. Here, visitors can relax, swim, and absorb the serene beauty of the surrounding forest and rugged terrain.
Golden Ride Rentals & Safari’s quad and buggy trips stand out in the local outdoor scene for combining adrenaline, cultural storytelling, and nature with accessibility. Whether traveling solo, with family, or friends, participants enjoy expert guidance and well-maintained vehicles that handle the rocky Cypriot paths safely.
