Drive a quad or buggy through the wild western edge of Cyprus, from Sea Caves and a shipwreck to turtle-friendly Lara Bay and the chilly Adonis Waterfalls. A four‑hour guided, drive‑your‑own vehicle tour that blends rugged tracks with beach swims and local lore.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Dust kicks up behind the line of quads as the coast opens up: limestone cliffs give way to stony coves, and a cold breeze from the Akamas Peninsula presses inland. Drivers thread single-file past the Sea Caves and a rusting shipwreck, stop to shoot photos of St. George’s inlet, then follow a track that drops to the crescent of Lara Bay—where the sand yields to nesting turtles—and onward into the valley that feeds the Adonis Waterfalls.
