About this experience
Get the day off to a roaring start at Pafos Zoo where you'll have plenty of time to roam around the park. There are more than 1,200 creatures, including giraffes, monkeys, tigers and reptiles. Be sure to catch the ever-popular parrot show, where you'll have a chuckle at these cheeky birds. What's more, lunch at the zoo's Flamingo Restaurant is included. With a cool dining area in a veranda, a clay oven and an in-house chef cooking up dishes made from locally sourced ingredients, it's an attraction in itself.
Next, we'll travel to Latchi harbour to catch the boat to the Blue Lagoon. From here, you'll cruise out into the open sea, following the glittering waters to the Blue Lagoon, where your captain will drop anchor for you to enjoy the surroundings. Take a dip, snorkel or simply stay on the deck to sunbathe – the choice is yours. There are many boat trips to the Blue Lagoon, but no other tour combines it with Pafos Zoo for a great family day out.
