Pretty Disappointing...
If your idea of a day trip is being thrown around in the back of a dilapidated Land Rover whilst being forced to listen to high volume, pimped up 80s music, then this is the trip for you. However, if you want to be educated and learn about any of the sites that you visit, then don't waste your time or your money. At most of the stops, we were just pointed in the direction of where to walk and basically left to your own devices. We learnt absolutely nothing about Avakas Gorge or Baths of Aphrodite, neither of which could the guide even be bothered to accompany us. Info about Baths of Aphrodite was obtained from a mobile phone. The highlight of the tour was undoubtedly the donkey sanctuary (not a 'farm' I must add), where the donkeys looked really happy and well looked after. Absolute stars ! Oh, and just to add that we especially booked this trip for our last but one day, so that our last day could be relaxing in the sun. Unfortunately, we received a WhatsApp message saying that the trip had been moved to our last day due to "vehicle needing its MOT). Which, given its dreadful state, was slightly ironic. Talking with some of the other people on the trip, their dates were also changed, but for different reasons. Genuine excuses, or simply not wanting to take multiple smaller groups in preference to just one larger group ? I'll let the reader make up their own mind...

Great day visiting Akamas Gorge, Turtle Bay, Donkey Farm etc by Jeep with Dimitris
Great way to see some of the many interesting places north of Paphos in the company of Dimitris. He's such a fun guy, full of energy. There were eight of us on the trip, a family of five from Germany, a solo traveller from Latvia and my wife and I. It was nice sharing the trip with such nice people. We were first picked at at 9:20am and last dropped off at 4pm. We visited all the sites as highlighted in the itinerary. We had lunch at the Souli Beach Hotel at the waters edge near Latchi. Lovely Cypriot meal with great company. As it was my wife's special birthday the day before, Dimitris bought her a birthday cake slice. Overall, a great day out.

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Paphos: Akamas Gorge & Turtle Bay & Donkey Farm Jeep Safari Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paphos.
How much does Paphos: Akamas Gorge & Turtle Bay & Donkey Farm Jeep Safari Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $46 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paphos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Paphos: Akamas Gorge & Turtle Bay & Donkey Farm Jeep Safari Tour take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paphos is not rushed.
Is Paphos: Akamas Gorge & Turtle Bay & Donkey Farm Jeep Safari Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 42 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Paphos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Paphos: Akamas Gorge & Turtle Bay & Donkey Farm Jeep Safari Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Paphos: Akamas Gorge & Turtle Bay & Donkey Farm Jeep Safari Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Paphos: Akamas Gorge & Turtle Bay & Donkey Farm Jeep Safari Tour?
+
Around 15 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paphos can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paphos and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Paphos: Akamas Gorge & Turtle Bay & Donkey Farm Jeep Safari Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paphos within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Paphos?
+
On Outty we rank every Paphos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Blue Lagoon Cruise with Sightseeing from Latchi Harbour, Troodos Mountains Villages: All Inclusive Food & Wine Day Tour, Wave Dancer Half Day BBQ Cruise - All Inclusive. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Paphos?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Paphos?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Paphos: Akamas Gorge & Turtle Bay & Donkey Farm Jeep Safari Tour?
+
Included: Private transportation. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Paphos: Akamas Gorge & Turtle Bay & Donkey Farm Jeep Safari Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 145 listed pickup locations in and around Paphos. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Paphos: Akamas Gorge & Turtle Bay & Donkey Farm Jeep Safari Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Paphos: Akamas Gorge & Turtle Bay & Donkey Farm Jeep Safari Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Paphos: Akamas Gorge & Turtle Bay & Donkey Farm Jeep Safari Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
