When it comes to experiencing Cyprus’s natural beauty, few activities can match the allure of a boat trip to the Blue Lagoon. This private yacht tour from Latsi offers an intimate way to explore the coastline, with the added bonus of personalized service, stunning scenery, and plenty of opportunities to swim and unwind. While we haven’t personally taken this trip, reviews and detailed descriptions paint a vivid picture of what you can expect.
Three things we really like about this experience:
First, the private charter means plenty of space to relax without crowds—something that makes the journey feel exclusive. Second, the route includes some iconic sights like the Baths of Aphrodite and Agios Georgios island, adding a sense of adventure and mythology. Third, the quality of the yacht and the attentiveness of the crew, especially the captain, seem to elevate the experience to something special.
One thing to consider is the lack of hotel pickup and drop-off, which means you’ll need to travel to Latsi Harbour independently. This setup might be less convenient if you’re staying farther from the port, but it also keeps the experience more focused and flexible.
This trip is a fantastic choice for travelers seeking a private, scenic, and relaxed day on the water. It’s particularly well-suited for couples, small groups, or families who value comfort and a personal touch over large-group tours.

Passing Iconic Sites
The route includes a scenic passage by the Baths of Aphrodite, a legendary bathing spot linked to Greek myth. While the waters here are not part of the swimming stops, the views alone are worth the glance. Next, you’ll cruise past Agios Georgios island, a small, picturesque spot that’s often perfect for a quick photo or just soaking in the scenery.
Swimming and Snorkeling at the Beaches
After about 45 minutes of sailing, your first swim stop takes place at a natural port beach—the site of the Baths of Aphrodite. Reviewers mention this as an incredible snorkeling spot, with reviewers noting it’s an ideal place to don a mask and explore underwater life. One reviewer specifically advises bringing your own masks because the boat only has a few available, which is a helpful tip.
The next highlight is the Blue Lagoon, often described as one of the most beautiful spots on the island. Here, the water’s striking blue hue makes it a perfect backdrop for swimming and relaxing. Reviewers consistently say that the water in the lagoon is “magical,” and many spend a good amount of time floating or diving into the clear waters.
What’s Included and What Not
The tour includes fuel, a private captain, towels, and a generous selection of drinks—champagne, wine, soft drinks, and juice—plus fresh fruit. This all adds to the feeling of luxury and makes the experience hassle-free. The only thing not included is hotel pickup, so you’ll need to arrange your own transport to Latsi Harbour, but the flexibility allows you to tailor your day around your own schedule.
More Great Tours NearbyWhat Makes This Tour Stand Out
Based on reviews and the detailed itinerary, several aspects shine brightly. First, the private nature of the charter means you can enjoy the trip without the noise and crowds typical of larger group tours. The boat’s new and comfortable design ensures a smooth ride, and the crew’s friendly attitude really enhances the atmosphere.
Secondly, the stunning scenery—from the mythic Baths of Aphrodite to the vibrant Blue Lagoon—makes for incredible photo opportunities and memorable moments. The water here is often described as “crystal-clear,” and the fact that you can choose how long to stay at each location gives you control over your experience.
Third, the quality of the drinks and snacks adds a touch of luxury. You’re not just there to swim; you’re there to unwind with a glass of champagne or some fresh fruit in hand, all while taking in breathtaking views.
