From Speed Boats to Jet Skis what
will your poison be?
From the Harbour and along the beach
front you are able to take advantage of
a wide range of watersports.
One of the main attractions is always
the Jet Skis. These are a fast and
furious way to spend half an hour or
more if your arms can take the pressure
of holding on so tight for so long.
There are designated Jet Ski areas for
safety reasons and no swimming is
allowed in these areas. All riders
are provided with instructions for use
and life vests. You are then set
to ride the waves as fast or as slow as
you wish.
Jet Boats are
now the up and coming thing from Paphos,
Tiger Trips have two boats Swing Low and
Sweet
Chariot both have 450 horse power
engines that can rocket you to 100kph.
You can take a morning sea or land
excursion or an all day land and sea
trip with the team. They are
situated by the fort at Paphos Harbour
and are open for business Monday through
Saturday during the summer season. (The
Boats are normally put back into the
water after winter maintenance around
the end of April).
Tiger Trips also run Coastal Tours,
Banana Runs, Jet Skis and Ringos and
Aqua Scooters, please see the team for
further details.
If you wish to get a leisurely
birds-eye view of Kato Paphos the best
way of achieving this is by
Parasailing.
After a short safety briefing you will
head out into the open water in a speed
boat, you will be harnessed and attached
to your parachute and then cast out
above the sea. Trips normally last
about 30minutes but it gives you and
ideal of the lay of the land and will
make you want to head off on a Jeep
Safari or hire your own 4x4 to see more
of this beautiful island.
