Coral Bay and Adonis Baths Quad or Buggy Safari Paphos

Coral Bay, near Paphos

Coral Bay is one of the best-known beaches on the Paphos coast, a wide sandy bay in the village of Peyia with clear shallow water and plenty of cafes. On the 5-hour tour you ride along the coast and stop at the bay, and this is what makes the longer option the most popular way to see the area. Travellers looking for the best quad bike tour in Paphos often start their search here, because the base is close to the beach.

The coast has small cliffs, hidden coves and places where you may see a shipwreck lying off the shore, and the guide points out the sights on the way. In summer the sea is warm enough to swim during the stop, so bring swimwear if you want a dip. The shorter 2-hour option does not include the Coral Bay stop.

Adonis Baths

The Adonis Baths are a natural pool fed by a small waterfall in the hills near Coral Bay, shaded by trees and named after a myth of Aphrodite and her lover Adonis. It is a peaceful place to cool off after the dusty ride, and the setting is much greener than the coastal scrub around it. Entry to the baths is paid on site in cash, so bring a little money.

Search phrases such as Adonis Baths quad tour and how to get to the Adonis Baths usually lead to guided rides, because the tracks are unsuitable for ordinary cars. Wear shoes that you do not mind getting dusty, and bring a towel if you plan to dip your feet. The water is fresh and cool, which feels good in summer.

The ride: quads, buggies and safety

You choose your vehicle when you book: a single quad for one driver, a double quad for two people, or a 2-seat buggy. Every option includes a safety briefing, helmets and goggles, third-party insurance and a guide who leads and stops regularly. Drivers normally need a valid driving licence, and age rules apply, so please check with us if you plan to bring younger travellers.

The route follows dirt tracks, so expect dust, bumps and a lot of fun. A scarf or bandana for the dust is not included, so bring your own. Ride at the guide's pace, keep a safe distance and follow all instructions. The tour is not suitable if you have a bad back or are pregnant.

Choosing your option and practical tips

The 5-hour tour starts at 10:00 and includes Coral Bay and the Adonis Baths. The 2-hour tour starts at 13:00 and goes to the Adonis Baths only, which suits travellers with less time. Food and drinks are not included, although a lunch menu is available for cash, and hotel transport is not included either, so arrange your own way to the start.

Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, closed shoes, a light layer and water. Long trousers protect against dust and scratches. Weather or track conditions can change the route, and the guide decides if a section is safe. If you are unsure which option suits your group, contact us and we will help.
