An In-Depth Review of the Lagoon to Paphos Experience

Starting Point and Transportation

The adventure begins with a complimentary transfer from your hotel in central Paphos to the scenic harbor of Latchi — a small fishing village known for its tranquility and beautiful coastline. This transfer, taking about 75 minutes, is a good way to relax and get into the holiday mood before setting sail. Keep in mind, it’s a bit of a journey, but it ensures you start your day comfortably and with everything sorted.

The Boat and Onboard Atmosphere

You’ll cruise on a luxurious three-deck yacht, which is well-equipped for comfortable sailing. As you board, you’ll notice the first deck often has sun loungers — first come, first served — perfect for soaking up the sun and enjoying the sea breeze. While the boat offers live entertainment and guided commentary, some reviews note the music can be loud, especially in close quarters, so if you prefer a quieter vibe, you might want to choose your spot wisely.

The crew receives praise for their friendliness and attentiveness, adding to the relaxed and fun atmosphere. The onboard host keeps the mood lively with stories and music, making the whole experience feel more like a celebration than just a cruise.

The star attraction of the day, Blue Lagoon is famed for its crystal-clear waters and dramatic scenery. The cruise includes a 30-minute sightseeing period en route, giving ample chances for photos. Once arrived, you’ll have about an hour for swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking — a favorite among travelers who love to get in the water.
