        Great day aboard the Jolly Roger ! 🏴‍☠️
        Just returned from a day on board the Jolly Roger with our 3 year old. Was very quiet due to school term times which meant my little boy could take part and was engaged throughout. Jack pigeon and pirate (Padi(?) were fantastic throughout, they clearly loved what they did and were enthusiastic, happy and in character throughout the trip. Perfect day out on the sea with a little person in tow! Thanks to the fantastic staff.

        Amazing!
        This cruise was amazing. The children had an amazing time and I was could do it again 100 times. The staff were friendly, including the bar staff and the entertainment. Highly recommended

        It's a no from us.
        Not impressed. Nobody interacted with our children, good awful, too crammed. Money grabbing. Would not recommend. Not worth the price or time.

        Good old fashioned fun for children
        The Jolly Roger (no D in Roger!) and Captain Jack Pigeon (no D in Pigeon!) provide a good four hours of simple old fashioned fun. The trip included a number of activities, all were just the right length of time to keep the atttention of the children. The activities included Pirate Training, a very good magician, some dancing. There was an opportunity to have a swim. The buffet food was good quality and plenty of it. In these days where smart phones and pads are everywhere The Jolly Roger is an excellent way to revisit some fun outside of the digital world.

        Fantastic Family Pirate Adventure
        If you are looking for a fantastic family boat trip look no further. Packed with entertainment for the kids (suitabl3 for ages 3 to about 10/11 in my opinion), my little one (4yo) had a fantastic time. There is a bar for the adults to enjoy a cold drinks while the kids are busy dancing and getting involved with pirate training! For a small additional charge there was also the option to go out on the dolphin twister (super fast speedboat ride for adults and kids to enjoy). The whole crew were fantastic and nothing was too much trouble. Great value for money and all round throughly enjoyable afternoon out!

        Pleasant but could be improved
        We really enjoyed the first stop, the walk into the gorge, we were sensible though, you need shoes you can properly walk in, this is not suitable for flip flops, heels, sandals. Make sure you take plenty of water it’s very hot in the summer months. Next stop was a cafe - they did take card! Go to the toilet here! Then a viewpoint and Aphrodite’s bath before lunch. Lunch was a little disappointing, lots of carbs and a bit of chicken and a salad. The vehicle was a td5 landrover, we are a family of four sat in the back, a mother and two kids were sat on a row behind the driver with a mother and daughter up front with the driver. We read lots of reviews about how good the guides were. Ours was talking about lot to the woman in the front but we couldn’t hear him up at the back, with the windows and the breeze it was impossible to hear him. He perhaps needs some kind of intercom speaker system. For the price we paid I was surprised we were not provided with water, a cool box strapped on the top of the lady with some bottles of water would have gone down a treat. The boat to the blue lagoon was packed and there wasn’t enough room for everyone to sit. Wine and watermelon offered out at the start of the journey was excellent. We took our own snorkels and the snorkelling wasn’t very impressive, my son did get a new pair of sunglasses he found on the bottom of the sea though. Overall I think it was a nice trip but I’m not convinced it was worth the money.

        Misleading title which needs to change
        Very misleading title on this trip. Fireworks are band on Cyprus as of April 2024. Having said that we had an outstanding time. The entertainment, food and party atmosphere was excellent. Would have loved to end with fireworks but it is understandable. Should have been informed before the trip. Still listed now as including fireworks. Would recommend this as an evening to remember with quality acts and excellent service.

        Great day out for the whole family.
        Was in Paphos with my wife and two young daughters, and decided as a treat to take them out on a Pirate Ship Cruise for the day. Out of my two kids (aged 10 and 6) it was certainly more aided at my youngest age group, but by the two it got going my eldest was enjoying herself, and it was brilliant fun for the whole family. Plenty for them to do, with games, face painting and entertainment from Captain Jack Pigeon, so its a great day out for the family. The ship sails you out to a bay at the end of Paphos run way, and this is maybe my only criticism that you do get the smell of jet fumes from the planes taking off, but its enjoyable to swim. You also get to go on the fastest extreme speed boat on that side of the island, and my eldest loved it when me and her went on it. A really enjoyable lunch is also put on. So all in all a real must for families to do when in Paphos.

      The guide was ok and the driver also. The place visited really interesting but only very limited time for enjoying the places. The tour collected a full bus from different hotels. At the end a lot of time was spent in passing to pick up and to leave members of the tour from their hotels and make longer the trip to reach and come back from Nicosia. Optimizing the duration of such time more time could be recovered to enjoy more Nicosia.

      Long day on coach
      Guide was excellent and so knowledgeable and loved the stop at the Church. However Nicosia was uninspiring and not the best place to give you an impression of a beautiful island.

      A very interesting and informative trip from Paphos to Nicosia with our guide excellent Chris giving us a real insight into the history of Cyprus told in a relaxed and easy to take in manner. The trip itself was full of interesting stops. First of all at St Johns Cathedral to see the marvellous frescoes inside the church, then the Liberty monument and on to Nicosia where we had a small lunch which was included in the price in the Buyuk Han, a complete Ottoman caravansarai. Afterwards cross into Turkish Nicosia, which was good for about an hour's stroll, unfortunately the Selimiye Mosque was closed for renovations then back for a look around Nicosia.
