Van scheepswrak naar Blue Lagoon — Iconische dagtour vanuit Paphos
Beschrijving
Maak je klaar voor de ultieme dagtour vanuit Paphos - waar de legendarische Blue Lagoon centraal staat en de wilde Akamas-kust je hart steelt. Uw avontuur begint bij de adembenemende Blue Lagoon Cyprus — een beschermde turquoise baai in het natuurreservaat Akamas. Zwemmen, snorkelen of drijven in kristalhelder water. Na uw duik trakteert de kapitein u op gratis Cypriotische wijn, seizoensfruit en sap. Geniet vervolgens van vrije tijd in het charmante Latchi Harbour - wandel langs de waterkant, lunch en drink koffie of geniet van de ontspannen mediterrane sfeer. Ontdek vervolgens de magische botanische tuin Akamas — de thuisbasis van de betoverende baden van Aphrodite en de romantische Fontein van Liefde, waar de godin van de liefde in het geheim baadde. Aan het einde van de tour bewonder je de dramatische zeegrotten en het iconische Edro III scheepswrak — een van de meest gefotografeerde plekken in Cyprus. Na terugkeer in Paphos zonovergoten en vol onvergetelijke herinneringen.

Reisroute
Stap aan boord van uw boot in Latchi en vaar het paradijs in — na een schilderachtige 40 minuten durende cruise langs de wilde kustlijn van Akamas openbaart de legendarische Blue Lagoon Cyprus zich in al zijn glorie. Kristalhelder turquoise water, verborgen baaien en ongerepte natuur wachten op u. Zwemmen, snorkelen of gewoon drijven en laat de mediterrane magie de rest doen - dit is Cyprus op zijn meest adembenemende.
Welkom in Latchi — een rustig vissersdorp waar het mediterrane tempo van het leven nog steeds prachtig intact is. Zie kleurrijke boten lui in de baai drijven, geniet van vers gevangen zeevruchten in een gezellige taverna aan het water en laat de authentieke Cypriotische kustcharme over je heen spoelen. Het perfecte moment om te vertragen voor het volgende avontuur.
Waar de godin van de liefde ooit eenzaamheid zocht, heeft de natuur iets echt magisch geschapen. De Baden van Aphrodite en de betoverende Fontein van Liefde liggen rustig in het hart van het wilde Akamas schiereiland — een koel, wijnstok-schaduwrijk heiligdom waar oude mythe voelt verrassend dichtbij. Adem de geurige wilde kruiden in, volg de kustpaden en laat de legende van Aphrodite je meenemen naar een plek buiten het gewone.
Het dramatische Edro III scheepswrak strandt als een vergeten reus langs de wilde kustlijn van Cyprus – de door verwering getroffen romp is een stille getuige van de kracht van de zee. Verken de mysterieuze zeegrotten uitgehouwen in de witte kliffen in de buurt, waar licht danst op het water en elke verborgen baai vertelt een verhaal. Een spookachtig mooie finale van een onvergetelijke dag.

We amended the tour and the operator didn’t. When we received the picking up instructions I didn’t notice the date change until the morning. The operator wouldn’t accommodate us on the earlier date we had booked despite all records confirming the tour was for the earlier date. It was only when Viator got involved that they allowed us to join a half day tour of just the boat and transfer but wouldn’t offer this originally even though they had seats available. The boat trip itself was lovely and an easy transfer from bus to boat. However, as we hadn’t noticed the changed in date in pick up instructions (who would expect the date to change?) they won’t give us any refund even though we only got the half day tour but paid for the full day. Viator were Really good in helping us when the tour fell through but won’t refund us either. Very disappointed with the attitude and helpfulness.
Thank you for your review. However, we would like to clarify that the situation you described is not entirely accurate. Our company did not confirm the change of your tour date (according to the platform’s rules, if a tour date change is not confirmed by the supplier, it is considered invalid). Viator did not inform you that your tour date had not been changed. We sent you three emails with the date indicated in your original booking, but you did not pay attention to this information. You also confirmed to us through your replies that you had understood everything and that the date and time of the excursion were clear to you. When you contacted us in the morning, immediately before the start of the excursion, we immediately informed you that there were no available places left on that tour. Despite this, we tried to resolve the situation and found places for you on another excursion with a transfer to the Blue Lagoon. You repeatedly told us that you wanted to visit the Blue Lagoon, and we did everything possible to give you this opportunity. Therefore, it was our willingness to help and accommodate you that allowed you to join an excursion and visit the Blue Lagoon. Viator did not help you resolve this situation — the problem was solved solely thanks to our goodwill and prompt action. Unfortunately, you are now trying to shift the consequences of your own failure to pay attention to the date information onto us and present the situation as if we were unwilling to help you. This is not the case. We did everything possible under the circumstances and believe that we fulfilled our obligations correctly. Therefore, we do not consider a refund of the tour price to be justified.
Note: Please note I deleted my previous review, and posted this one. I did this because I mentioned a competitor in the original review. When I used to have a product review channel I always compared alternatives to provide a reference point (as is good practice in reviews). However, the operator wasn't happy with this, and out of respect for the vendor I have redacted the name of the competing operator (given this is a dedicated page for this vendor and not a generic review channel). ---------- We booked this tour while staying in Paphos, and unfortunately it turned out to be a disappointment. Let me be absolutely clear, I completely understand the need for some rules. Asking people to return to the bus on time is perfectly reasonable, as it is unfair for everyone else to be kept waiting. Likewise, prohibiting food and drinks on the bus makes sense if the company wants to keep the coach clean for future customers. However, the atmosphere throughout the bus journey went far beyond simply enforcing sensible rules. From the moment we boarded, the tone felt hostile and overly authoritarian rather than welcoming. At one point, our guide spent around 30 minutes talking about the island and instructed everyone not to talk during that time so people could hear her. While I appreciate that guests should be respectful, the overall delivery felt more like a lecture than a holiday excursion. There were also signs stating that anyone who vomited on the bus would be fined €20. I understand that cleaning up such a mess is unpleasant, but vomiting is not something people choose to do. This policy also makes the tour feel particularly unfriendly towards families with young children. Anyone who has children knows that accidents can happen despite the best efforts of parents. If the company does not want to accommodate that possibility, it should make it clear before people book that this is not a family-friendly tour, rather than displaying signs that feel like threats. Also, note that sea sickness tables should not be given to children below a certain age without consulting a doctor. I can understand the difficulties that tour operators have, and so I didn't let all this bother me. However, things got considerably worse when we were reboarding the bus after the first stop. One of my children must have stepped in a small muddy puddle without me noticing. The driver immediately began complaining about mud on the bus. I apologised, asked my son to scrape his shoes, and personally checked that they were clean before boarding. There were no mud attached to bottom of the shoes (obviously it was dry, being 38 degrees, so moisture would quickly disappears in the heat), but I still asked my son to scrape on the asphalt (there was no mat) as I could see the bus driver wasn't happy and I wanted to peacefully resolve the situation. Even after doing this, the driver continued his tirade in Greek. Unfortunately for him, I also speak Greek, so I asked him, "What exactly would you like me to do now?" The bus driver started going on rant about how you would not bring in mud in your own house, etc... It was clear he had a negative disposition towards tourists, and he was looking for an escuse to have a tirade. And to address his metaphor about bringing mud in a house, houses typically have a mat so one can wipe their shoes on them before entering them. If you expect that people enter the bus like they enter a house, then put a mat outside and ask people to wipe their shoes on it. The whole situation was completely unnecessary, and the trip felt like it had an oppressive atmosphere - it felt you were walking on glass. What made this even more ironic was that the company's very first stop was in an area covered in fine dust and dirt that inevitably gets on everyone's shoes. If cleanliness is such a major concern, it seems an odd place to stop. To make matters worse, the bus itself discharged water near the front door whenever it stopped, creating puddles that passengers naturally had to walk through. For context, my wife and I have been on many organised tours around the world. We are respectful travellers, follow instructions, and have never had any issues with tour operators before. The disappointing part is that the boat trip itself was actually very enjoyable. The Blue Lagoon was beautiful, the children had a fantastic time swimming and jumping into the water, and that part of the day was exactly what we had hoped for. My impression is that the company has probably dealt with irresponsible or intoxicated tourists in the past and has responded by treating every customer as though they are a problem waiting to happen. Whether that's true or not, it isn't the experience I expect when paying for a holiday excursion. I cannot recommend this tour operator, particularly for families with children. For comparison, we also went on the [NAME REDUCTED AT THE REQUEST OF THE VENDOR], which had a genuinely friendly atmosphere, fantastic staff, and was much more enjoyable for both adults and children. Please note, I have written this review precisely and carefully (been an experienced youtube product reviewer). I am not saying there should be no rules. Encouraging people to be on time is reasonable, telling people not to drink and eat on the bus is reasonable. Telling people politely listen while important information is said, is reasonable. Recommending people to bring sea sickness tables is reasonable. Telling your customers, however, to be quiet like it is secondary school for most of the trip is ridiculous. Telling that you will fine them if they vomit is not reasonable. Expecting parents to supervise their children, perfectly reasonable. However, having a bus driver give a tirade because a parent hasn't seen and controlled every footstep their child has done is really bad. The hostile nature you have towards your customers isn't reasonable, the oppressive atmosphere on the tour is horrible. And finally, no madam, I don't care whether it's customary to leave a tip for the driver. On this occasion, I chose not to.
Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion. Unfortunately, your review has been posted under a pseudonym, which means we are unable to identify your booking. We do not know your name, booking reference, or the date of your excursion, so we cannot verify the circumstances you have described. On our tours, we always strive to create a comfortable environment for all guests. This is why certain rules are in place, and they apply equally to everyone. We firmly believe that respect should be mutual—not only from our staff towards our guests, but also from guests towards our staff and fellow passengers. Unfortunately, your review reflects only your personal perception of the events. At the same time, it does not take into account the experience of the other passengers on the coach. Parents are responsible for supervising their children, while other guests have the right to expect a clean, comfortable, and pleasant environment throughout the journey. Likewise, no one wishes to travel in a coach affected by unpleasant odours caused by someone being sick. Policies regarding such situations are not intended to threaten anyone but to ensure the comfort and well-being of the majority of our passengers. Our guides are required to provide important information about the excursion itinerary and safety procedures. Asking guests to remain quiet while this information is being delivered is standard practice and ensures that everyone can hear what is being said. We are sorry that you were left with a negative impression. However, over many years of operation we have welcomed thousands of satisfied guests who appreciate our well-organised tours, our commitment to maintaining order, and the professionalism of our team. We wish you all the best in your future travels.
Everything was perfect, 100% go to see more from Cyprus ❤️ on the sea and on the land :) we are glad we went
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear that our tour gave you such wonderful and unforgettable memories. Knowing that we help our guests discover the beauty of this amazing island and leave with happy experiences is the greatest reward for our team. Thank you for choosing us, and we look forward to welcoming you back on another tour!
Very interesting day with some lovely views!! The tour guide wasn’t very people friendly!! Made it sound like a school trip!! Driver was excellent!!
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're delighted to hear that the beautiful scenery made your day memorable and that our driver helped make the journey comfortable and enjoyable. We also appreciate your honest comments about the guide. Every guest experiences a tour differently, and your feedback reminds us how important it is to combine knowledge with a warm and engaging approach. We'll be sure to share your observations with the team as we continuously work to improve. We hope the wonderful views and lasting memories will bring a smile long after the trip, and we'd be delighted to welcome you on another adventure in the future.
Lovely day, well organised. Would of liked longer at blue lagoon as you only get an hour, but was a really enjoyable day. Shipwreck they take you to was great to see. Guide had a lot of information about everywhere we went and about Cyprus as a whole.. really interesting 👌
Thank you for your thoughtful review and for sharing your experience with us. We are delighted that you enjoyed the day, the fascinating history of Cyprus, and the stories shared by your guide. It is always rewarding to know that our guests leave not only with beautiful photos, but also with a deeper appreciation of the island itself. We completely understand your wish to spend more time at the Blue Lagoon — many of our guests feel exactly the same. Its crystal-clear waters have a way of making time pass far too quickly. However, part of the reason for the carefully planned schedule is our commitment to preserving this unique natural environment. By managing visit times responsibly, we help reduce pressure on this fragile coastal area so that future visitors can enjoy the same beauty that you experienced. We are especially pleased that the shipwreck stop and the overall organisation of the tour met your expectations. Thank you for choosing to explore Cyprus with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in the future. Warm regards, EOS Tours Team
Fantastic day out and highly recommend. Blue Lagoon is beautiful although was unfortunately a bit chilly for me to swim personally, however many did go into swim and had fantastic time. Nice inclusive drinks after the swim stop included. This was followed by a couple of hours free time in Latchi with some great restaurants to have lunch in. We will be back again in October and definitely doing this tour again. Highly recommend this tour and guide was very informative
Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We are especially pleased that you enjoyed both the Blue Lagoon cruise and the relaxed atmosphere in Latchi. Every day on the sea is a little different, so it is wonderful to hear that the experience left such a positive impression, even with the cooler water temperature. Your mention of our guide means a great deal to us. We believe that great memories come not only from beautiful places, but also from the people who help bring those places to life. We look forward to welcoming you back to Cyprus in October. The island has a different charm in autumn, and we will be delighted to have you join us again for another unforgettable day. Until then, safe travels and see you soon!
The experience was amazing the blue lagoon was beautiful and the caves the tour guide gave us enough time to explore everything
Thank you for your kind review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the Blue Lagoon, the caves, and had enough time to explore everything. It’s great to hear our guide helped make your experience even better. We hope to see you again on another tour soon!
We were approached on our hotel sunbeds and sold what was described as a jeep tour with a visit to the Blue Lagoon. While we did visit the Blue Lagoon, the rest of the trip did not match what was advertised, as we spent most of the day traveling by coach rather than in jeeps or on a boat. When we booked, we were also told that car seats would be provided and that, by law, children must use them in the jeeps. However, no car seats were provided at all on the day, which was concerning. Unfortunately, the tour guide, Ester, came across as quite abrupt and, at times, rude. For example, a young couple who boarded the bus were told off for not checking in, even though they had simply followed instructions to sit down when they got on. Later, another group politely asked about seating and were sharply told “no” in a way that felt unnecessary and uncomfortable. These moments were awkward to witness and likely embarrassing for those involved. Aside from this, the day itself was generally enjoyable, and we were given interesting information about the areas we visited. However, the amount of time spent on the coach was much more than expected based on how the trip was sold. At the end of the tour, we were told it is “normal” to leave a 10% tip per person. There were 8 adults and 2 children in our group, and although we were told we received a discount (£40 per adult and £20 per child), we later found tickets advertised online for around €35 per person. Given this, we chose not to leave a tip. Overall, it was a decent day, but the experience was let down by misleading sales information and the guide’s attitude.
Dear guest, Thank you for your feedback — we appreciate your honesty. Our company does not operate jeep tours. Our Blue Lagoon tour is a full-day excursion by coach and boat, as described in all our promotional materials. We would like to sincerely apologize for several aspects of your experience. The absence of car seats was our mistake — child safety is a priority. We also apologize for the guide's behavior, which has been addressed internally, and for the way tipping was communicated — it is always a personal choice and should never be presented as an obligation. The €35 tours advertised online are half-day transfers — Paphos to Latchi, a Blue Lagoon cruise, and back. Your tour is a full-day experience including Blue Lagoon Cruise, the Sea Caves, Edro III Shipwreck, and Aphrodite's Baths — a significantly more comprehensive program. We would also like to point out that your tickets were sold to you with discount. We are also pleased to note that, from your review, the visit to the Blue Lagoon itself was something you enjoyed. Kind Regards, EOS TOUR Team
Superb - genuinely don’t go anywhere else This tour was spectacularly good. The information, the timekeeping, the experience, the tour hosts - all was exceptional. Cannot fault anything. This is what a true customer experience is all about. The communication of what was happening on the day was informative and faultless. Both the driver and tour host - Ester were friendly and accommodating throughout the whole tour. Would go far as to say this was one of the best excursions I have been on (and have been on a lot!) Thanks to EOS Tours which means the ‘whole’ team in the background too!
Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! 🩷 We are truly delighted to hear that you had such a positive experience on the tour and that you appreciated the work of our team.
