Trip Information We do our very best to ensure all information on our website and in your trip documents is accurate at the time of publication. Occasionally, we may make small improvements to our adventures based on guest feedback, seasonal changes or local circumstances. These changes are always made with the aim of improving your experience. We recommend checking your final trip information a few days before departure to ensure you have the latest details.
Transport Airport transfers and all transport throughout your adventure are included from the moment we collect you until we return you for your departure flight. We'll travel in comfortable, air-conditioned vehicles, allowing you to relax and enjoy the scenery while we take care of the driving.
Accommodation We carefully select accommodation that reflects the character of Cyprus and complements each adventure. Depending on your chosen experience, accommodation may include boutique hotels, traditional guesthouses or carefully selected local accommodation. Where available, single room upgrades can be requested at an additional cost.
Meals
One of the best ways to experience Cyprus is through its food.
Throughout your adventure you'll enjoy a mixture of traditional tavernas, local cafés and family-run restaurants, giving you the opportunity to experience authentic Cypriot cuisine.
Breakfast is included on most mornings and usually consists of bread, fruit, yoghurt, eggs, tea and coffee, although this may vary depending on your accommodation.
Where meals are not included, we'll happily recommend some of our favourite local restaurants.
If you have any dietary requirements, please let us know before travelling and we'll do everything we can to accommodate them.
Your Itinerary Every GOAT Adventure has been carefully designed using our local knowledge and experience to give you the very best experience of Cyprus. One of the joys of travelling is that sometimes unexpected opportunities arise. For this reason, we may occasionally make small changes to the itinerary due to weather, local events, safety considerations or to improve your overall experience. Any travel times shown are approximate and may vary.
Photography During your adventure we may occasionally take photographs or short videos to capture special moments and share the GOAT Adventures experience on our website and social media. If you would prefer not to appear in any photographs or videos, simply let us know at any time. We'll always respect your wishes.
Small Groups One of the things that makes GOAT Adventures Cyprus different is our small group size. Our scheduled adventures are limited to a maximum of 6 guests, allowing us to offer a much more personal experience, visit places larger groups can't access and get to know everyone travelling with us. You're never just another booking—you become part of the adventure.
