Three Hours of Off‑Road Discovery from Peyia to Lara Bay.
Embark on a focused, three‑hour Quad and Buggy safari out of Paphos that threads coastal tracks and off‑road trails to sea caves, an abandoned shipwreck and the wild headlands of Akamas National Park before finishing at Lara Bay—a compact excursion that pairs short bursts of adrenaline with opportunities to swim and relax on a turtle‑protected beach.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Coastal tracks and dramatic sea caves
The safari follows coastal trails from the Coral beach of Pegeia to dramatic sea caves carved into the shoreline—locations best accessed by quad or buggy and a central reason to choose this off‑road format.
The EDRO III shipwreck
One of the tour’s signature stops is the abandoned EDRO III, a visible coastal wreck that anchors the narrative of the route and provides a memorable viewpoint along the ride.
Akamas Reserve and Lara Turtle Beach
The itinerary moves into Akamas National Park to visit turtle nesting areas and Lara Bay, where guests can pause for a swim at the Lara Turtle Conservation Station and rest at a small café between mountain and sea.

The experience is a brisk, guided off‑road loop—safety briefing and checks are performed at the outset, then the group moves along coastal roads and off‑track sections to squeeze scenic highlights into a three‑hour window that ends with time to swim and refresh at Lara Bay.
