Heldags Surf og Turf Safari Tour i Paphos

Absolutely amazing views and scenery. I'm not a swimmer and booked the wrong tour by mistake. The restaurant we were taken too.... the food was good but as a solo female traveller I felt ignored by the staff once I got my meal. Once I had finished, fair enough I couldn't it eat it all but I was ignored for quite a while by the staff and the waiter was quite rude when I went to pay. Normally I would have paid in Euros but because of the service I paid by card. Our driver never spoke at all, never even got his name. We have a tour guide that we had only spoke to 2 of the people on our trip in another European language even though 7 of us was British. Have spoken to Evis and they are going to look in to it. Hence to say no tip by anyone on this trip

Fabulous day out!! We had Vassos as our driver who was great fun and very knowledgeable- ensuring we all had a good time!!! Vassos gave us lots of information along the way about places we were passing and his driving was superb - particularly on the off road trail to Adonis waterfall!!! The Blue Lagoon trip was unbelievable- clear crystal waters and a glass bottom boat!! We all agreed it was one of our best days on our holiday!!

This was booked online from UK and in booking it's say's that driver going to pickup from our hotel from Limassol and drop us back to the hotel but luckily I contacted the driver just to confirm what time he is going to come and pick us and he said it's only from Paphos he will pick from his location, which was an 1 hour from my hotel so I have to cancel it. Please be careful when you book online and if you don't know how far is the places, you might lose your money if you do this mistake.

We took this tour because we wanted a jeep safari, but as we were further out of Paphos we actually had a minibus. Bit misleading. But We soon appreciated the air con in a very very hot day! Great driver guide Mateo. saw a ship wreck and some plantations before heading to a gorgeous hill top village for a Cypriot coffee. Then on to the harbour and a wonderful glass bottom boat trip past Aphrodite rock and on to the blue lagoon for swimming. Lots of time and a real treat. Later we went to a fresh fish restaurant on the quayside for a lovely lunch. The last leg was to Aphrodite pool which was quite underwhelming and €15 each (not €10 as advertised) as it’s not included. Would have been happy to kiss that bit out.

Very enjoyable day getting the best of Paphos. Our driver was a character...very funny and an absolute professional. Highly recommended!

Mario picked us up promptly from the hotel and took us across to the Sea Caves before heading to the boat to visit the Blue Lagoon. While some parts of the jeep ride are a little bumpy, Mario made the experience so much fun with his incredible personality and sense of humour. He kept all the different groups on the tour engaged and involved with humour and his extensive knowledge of the terrain. He was absolutely fantastic and made the entire thing fun from start to finish. The blue lagoon is lovely, worth bringing towel to dry off!

Mixed feelings tbh. The driver of the bus drove us to an old village, that was not in the schedule. Nice place, picturesque. We could buy olive, sweets and rakija there. When we left the village, he would stop by nice views of the island, so we could enjoy them and take photos. We stopped by some fruit trees, to check them out, too. The sea was too rough to sail to the Blue Lagoon on the day but we were informed about it an hour into the trip. When challenged about the cost, the driver would refund us with 10 EUR for the boat that we were not taking. As exchange of attractions he took us to the donkey farm, but on that day all the donkeys were "at the vet" so we saw none of them. No lagoon and no donkeys - that was disappointing. We did visit the Aphrodite's baths and super nice Adonis waterfalls. We drove by picturesque mountains and valleys and that was worths it.

The tour itself was amazing. Every part of it. The guide, the stops and the lunch venue. It was perfect. The blue lagoon and the waterfalls are a must see. However, viator needs to add a comment that the tour operator must be called a day before for confirmation. The confirmation sent to us was not enough and we missed the tour on the 26th. They switched us to 28th. If we didn’t have time there, we would have missed this trip.

We went on the surf and turf trip on the 06/07/2023. Picked up from the hotel in good time and went for the mini bus option as elderly person in our group and found it alot easier to get in and out. Trip to the caves, then the boat trip to the blue lagoon. Stopped at a local restaurant for lunch which you have to pay for separately but sat next to the snad and sea didn't put us off. Then back on the bus to the Adonis falls. This was very picturesque but very busy with other tours. If you have someone with limited mobility they would struggle to get down to the falls and in and out as you have to drop nearly a metre to get in. This was the only downside to the day but overall enjoyed this trip tremendously.

Our family of 6 thoroughly enjoyed our full day trip guided by the amazing Mario. Picked up promptly from our hotel we travelled in our jeep to the sea caves and shipwreck for photos and introductions with the other jeeps. Mario is funny and informative, he really goes the extra mile to show care. He genuinely cares about people and moments with many wise words mixed with the humour. The blue lagoon boat trip was lovely, our dip in the sea was refreshing!! Back into the jeep and we headed off road to Adonis waterfall. Brilliant music to singalong too distracted from the bumps lol. The waterfall is unique and quirky, a little calm oasis. We climbed to the top gorge while the kids jumped in for a swim. Fabulous day! Thanks Evis tours and a huge Thank you to Mario!!
