Everything went smoothly. The sights were interesting and our guide made sure we had a great experience. I enjoyed the short hike in the gorge and the stops to sample herbs and fruits. I felt our guide really wanted us to have a great time,and I did!

Turtles amazing,trip could have been better

Sharon_M, Aug 2022

The trip didn't get off to a good start and had to be changed from the original booking as trips such as this don't run on a Tuesday yet it let me book it for Tuesday. It was postponed to Wednesday then we received an email stating the trip didn't include lunch nor the Baths of Aphrodite as stated in the trip itinerary. Angelo was our Jeep Driver and arrived bang on time to pick us up from our hotel. We headed to the gauge and stopped en route to spot things and have a small guided tour. Our first stop was the Akamas Gauge It was a hike and slippery in parts. Sturdy footwear is definitely needed. Beautiful views and interesting. Then we headed to Lara Bay and the Turtle Conservation. We were able to watch nests being opened and baby turtles being taken out and released into the sea. Most hatch at night and head to the ocean but there were a few straglers today. Lara Bay is beautiful, such a sandy beach and just a wonderful place with a fabulous conservation area for the turtles. If the trip had lived upto its initial itinerary a 5* would have been given. Felt that we should have been informed way before 24hrs before the trip that the itinerary was wrong. Not good communication from Viator here.

Excursion is nice, just a pity that information in the offer is not correct.

Ausra_N, Jul 2022

The first part of excursion was really nice. Gorge and the path are really amazing. Next stop Lara bay, but unfortunately there were no turtles - we only saw the turtles nests. Organizators didn’t brought us to the Third point -Aphrodite’s baths (explained that we ordered half day excursion and this point is not included. It is strange because neither in the ticket nor in the page there was not information re. this. ) Also in the offer and ticket there was mentioned that lunch is included, but appeared that not. A lot of things were not according offer, except this everything was nice.
