Paphos : safari en jeep dans les gorges d'Akamas, la baie des Tortues et la ferme des ânes

Dimitri is a f.... ing star! Man! This guy is a living legend 😃 A mix of a ex - military + decent Cypriot man+ Texas cowboy. Love IT! Great local vibe. Just book your trip and enjoy.

My partner had been on Dmitri’s tour on a previous visit snd had so much fun recommended we go again and was not disappointed! He’s a very knowledgeable man and full of life and made the whole experience amazing! Definitely recommend to people visiting Paphos and want to see the beauty of the area

We did this Safari with Dimitris on the 6/11 and what a wonderful trip we had the best day! Demitris is a brilliant Guide, funny and very informative and a great guy to spend a day trip with! our day started with going to see a shipwreck where we took some lovely photo's, we then went on to Akamas Gorge (sensible walking shoes/boots advisable as the stones get very slippery although he does give you the option if you don't feel like it stay the top of the Gorge with the Jeep, we are 67 and 70 and had no problems but be advised if you suffer with breathing it's hard work! we then went to Turtle Bay really beautiful but on this occasion we decided to stay at the top as whilst it looked easy to walk down it's steep coming back up! on to lunch which we had pre-ordered on the Jeep which was great as no need to wait, it was at a lovely hotel on the Sea! food was good and they included wine and water in the price, our final stop was a Donkey Farm there are several very well kept donkeys looked after by a local Family, and even better getting to feed them from the tree, (this is not a commercial stop) it is funded by the Family themselves, I would say this is not a smooth trip! we had the back seats which was great it is a safari so bouncy but a lot of fun!!!!!! also there were plenty of places for toilet stops.

Akamas Gorge ain't for converses 🤣🤣 too slippy crossing the stones, also not for the faint hearted. But the views are amazing, apart from that the rest of the tour was amazing. The restaurant you are taken to has the best views for a meal and the food is good to. My high point was feeding the donkeys, even though I was a little nervous, the donkey were as gentle as anything.

We had an absolutely fantastic day on our jeep safari from start to finish! The whole experience was seamless and full of adventure. Dimitri, our guide, really made the trip extra special – he was fun, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories and local insights throughout the day. The route was stunning, with breathtaking scenery, hidden spots we’d never have found on our own, and plenty of chances to stop, explore, and take photos. The atmosphere was relaxed yet exciting, and we felt well looked after the entire time. Highly recommended – a perfect way to see Cyprus!

I don't usually like to write 1 star reviews, but unfortunately in this case it is needed. Me and my partner were supposed to do this trip on Wednesday but we're called on Tuesday night to be told we had to be rescheduled due to issues with the car. Fair enough, these things happen. We rearranged for Saturday, which was the day we were leaving. As we were getting the last of our stuff together, we were called to say the cat was here. It was 15 minutes early! We rushed down and were greeted happily by the person doing the tour. We hopped into the back of the jeep. There were already four other people in the jeep. We stopped off to pick up another 3 people. It was a very tight squeeze to have 9 people in an 8 person jeep, you couldn't put on a seat belt if you wanted to because there wasn't enough and you were so crammed in! The guy then began to say how he was going to forget about the last guy and just tell him he forgot, which to me was very unprofessional! It had me thinking about how he rearranged with us and wondering if he really did have car troubles... We did end up going for the last person. 10 people crammed into an 8 person jeep was not a fun experience! I was constantly apologising to the lovely girls next to me for bumping into them. Throughout the entire trip, I did not feel safe in the jeep. For one, I was unable to wear my seatbelt, and our guide was also not wearing a seat belt. His music choice was... Questionable (but I admit that could be personal preference). Also he was constantly texting and driving, including on a busy road! I was genuinely terrified. Our first stop was the natural caves and shipwreck, in which he explained what we were going to be doing. We got the choice to order lunch at a restaurant. Myself and my partner chose not to as we had all inclusive at our hotel and did not feel like spending money. We got back into the jeep, once again cramped in the back, and went towards the turtle bay. It was literally a beach. It is not turtle season so there was nothing really to do. Some pretty sights of the sea and some interesting information on turtles but that's about it. We went to the gorge next. It was very interesting, but very slippery! The guide was quite knowledgeable on it which changed my mind for a brief moment about writing the review I am now. However that quickly changed again. Our next stop was the restaurant. It was a very long way away from the gorge and VERY off road. I get easily travel sick and the bouncing around of the jeep made me feel very unwell. Once again the music was not to my taste, but I noticed the videos of the music on his phone were scantily clad women which made me feel quite uncomfortable. When we arrived at the restaurant I was feeling quite unwell. Our tour guide asked if we were sure we didn't want food and my partner explained I was feeling travel sick. At this point he got quite rude! He snapped that it wasn't a mini bus, it was a jeep, and he couldn't take us to the places we went if it were a mini bus. I had to bite my tongue as I wanted to say that I would have been sick even if it was a mini bus! He also said that the others in front were very tall so couldn't be in the back. My partner and I at this point were looking at ways to get back to our hotel independently, however we were practically in the middle of nowhere and there where no buses or taxi's so we had to endure. The "donkey sanctuary" was literally just some donkeys in a pen in the middle of nowhere. Our guide literally got a metal pole out his jeep and threw it at the trees to knock down some plants! The fact he had a random mental pole in his jeep made me feel even more uncomfortable. The donkey's, while cute, looked very matted and like they needed a brush. Back into the cramped jeep to the baths of Aphrodite. The baths themselves were very lovely though we only stayed for 5 minutes. The guide also forgot to mention the important safety guidance that we cannot actually bathe in the water due to the toxicity of the pigeons, which my partner told the group. We returned to the hotel after the baths. I have never been more happy to see the hotel than I had at that moment. Overall would avoid this tour. The "guide" is crass, rude and has extremely weird and questionable music taste

My wife Pauline and I Paul took this trip on 19th September. The gorge part was quite difficult. My wife Loved the donkeys. The wildest ride she said she had ever been on, but felt perfectly safe all the way through it. Diimitrios is 100% full on - so don’t have a hangover for this trip. Overall the day was a WOW and would thoroughly recommend to all- 10/10

Really funny guide, kind towards our son who was the youngest in the group even sharing his spare cap in the direct sun. Very knowledgeable on the area and happy to Answer any questions we had

11 minutes AFTER he was supposed to pick us up he sent a message saying he wasn't coming...disgraceful and will be expecting a full refund

We had a great day out with Dimitris seeing the amazing sights of paphos. If you’re looking for a guide with a good sense of humor and not afraid to speak his mind then definitely book this trip! I would definitely recommend wearing comfortable shoes or trainers for the walking parts of the tour and be prepared to spend lots of time in the jeep navigating very bumpy roads. Overall I would recommend this trip!
