Swap beaches for pine-scented tracks on this small-group Land Rover tour from Paphos. Spend a day off-roading through Troodos, dipping at Chantara waterfall, wandering Omodos, and finishing with a Commandaria wine tasting.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The jeep crunches onto a gravel track and the Troodos forest seems to lean in—pines exhale resin and the temperature drops a few degrees as the Land Rover winds higher. The guide, a local with a quick laugh and a pocketful of stories, points out an old stone bridge half-hidden by fig and plane trees. For the next nine hours you trade the coast’s heat for mountain air, cross rivers that dare you to look away, and step into villages where cobbled alleys still remember medieval footfalls.

Wear sturdy shoes
Expect uneven, rocky paths and slippery river crossings—trail shoes or light hikers make the short walks and off-road exits far easier.
Bring refillable water
Nine hours in the mountains with brief cafés—carry at least 1–2 liters and refill where available to avoid dehydration.
Pack swimwear and quick-dry towel
If weather permits you’ll have a chance to swim at Chantara waterfall and Petra tou Romiou—bring a towel in a dry bag.
Mind jeep limits
The Land Rover Defenders used are rugged but cramped—taller or heavier guests should check fit before booking.
Sturdy hiking shoes
Support and grip for short off-road walks and wet rocks at waterfall stops.
Sun protection (hat, SPF, sunglasses)
High-elevation sun and reflective surfaces make sun protection essential.
