What to Expect

Our team will collect you from your North Cyprus hotel for your exciting full day jeep safari experience. Jump into our 4x4 vehicles and strap yourself in for an adrenaline-fuelled drive up into the Five Finger Mountains.

The Five Finger Mountains, aka the Kyrenia Mountains, run for 120km parallel to the North Cyprus coastline. During the spring, you can breathe in the heady scent of wild flowers that paint the slopes in a riot of colour. During the summer, your jeep safari speeds along roads shaded by tall pines, dipping into hidden groves then up onto craggy cliffs.

During the spring and autumn, your North Cyprus jeep experience includes discovering an abandoned Turkish army tank high in the mountains, a remnant of the 1974 conflict that divided the island. Sitting at a jaunty angle on the hillside, it’s a great opportunity for a social media selfie!

Your 4x4 tour continues with a stop at the peaceful ruins of Ayios Panteleimon, founded in 1600 and inhabited right up until the 1950s. The monastery was enclosed for a time in a military camp, but now all that disturbs the peace is the gentle sound of birds and the breeze in the trees.

Your jeep drives on to the lovely town of Lapta, for a seaside lunch in the summer and a village centre restaurant in spring and autumn, included in this great value North Cyprus activity.

In the summer months, there’s also time to relax and swim at nearby Guzelyali Beach in Karsiyaka. Soak up the sun on this long golden sandy beach, shared with the sea turtles that come here every year to lay their eggs. Swim the crystal clear Mediterranean Sea, or paddle and cool off hot feet in the natural pool that forms on the beach at certain times of year.

Then it’s back along the Girne road to your hotel in Kyrenia, Nicosia or Famagusta after a thrilling 4x4 day of North Cyprus mountains and seaside. Perfect!
