Book this trip you won’t be disappointed 😎 - Absolutely fabulous day, big thanks to all the crew. Special mention to Joseph. What a lovely guy. Great magic tricks, good fun and very knowledgable. He has been on this boat for 19 years 🙌🙌 and clearly loves it.
Fabulous boat, great crew and loved the entertainment. Food was lovely and plenty of choice. Toilet facilities were spotless and so was every area of the boat.
Fab day, see you again next year! Don’t hesitate to book this day trip you won’t be disappointed.

Paphos Tour 21/08/24 - Highly Recommend - I'm always a bit skeptical about doing boat tours, I really don't like being crammed into small boats that I wouldn't trust on a boating lake however I have to say this was the best tour I have been on. It started with a seem less transfer from the hotel to the harbour which is included in the price.
The boat was an ex commuter ferry that had been converted, there was ample space and a guaranteed sun lounger. You didn't get that cramped feeling. It seems that this company have really found the right balance, they knew their customers and its abundantly clear that they listen to feedback and value their guests.
Joseph the host was absolutely impeccable, he knew his clients and the balance of allowing people to take in the views without being bombarded with loud music and pointless audience participation. He was extremely knowledgeable about the region, the history of the island and was aways there to answer peoples questions. Honestly brilliant. There was live music which again wasn't in your face and really set the feeling.
We had two stop offs, lunch (which was provided on board) and all the drinks are included in the price for the duration of the tours. The food was freshly prepared and tasted amazing. The fish was outstanding. On the way back he entertained the kids with a magic show, which I must say went above and beyond to entertain the kids. We arrived back home yesterday and my six year old is still talking about it.
I'd highly recommend this company and this boat, I will end on this, upon speaking to anther guest prior to disembarking the boat, she stated that she had been on that tour many times before which to me is testament of the lasting impact this tour and the experience has on people.

An amazing boat trip! - Amazing trip on the Wave Dancer, couldn’t fault a thing. Joseph was an amazing host, really knowledgeable and took time to chat and do some magic tricks for us.
The entertainment was outstanding, Kim has an amazing voice as does Kiril and wow what an incredible guitarist!
The food and drink was fab and all the staff were attentive and friendly.
Loved the swim stops and it was nice to get off the boat and cool down.
It was super hot so make sure you pack lots of suncream!
Would definitely do this trip again if we come back to Paphos.

A Great trip. - Excellent boat trip and definitely highly recommended. Food was fab and some of the best I have had on a boat trip.
Loved to see some of the coast line and the 2 stops we had and the time to swim in the sea was great.
Joseph is an exceptional host and very informative and a lovely guy. The rest of the staff were good too and the entertainment was great although didn't see much of it, just heard it.
The only slight criticism was that the Cider on tap was not included in the all inclusive and Ice cream had to be paid for if you wanted it. I think if you have an all inclusive, it should all be inclusive. That said, I would definitely recommend and we would go again when back in Cyprus.

Great Day Trip! - Set off promptly at 10.00 in stunning weather. Joseph gave us a great intro regards what to expect and other interesting anecdotes. Sun deck is great, bar is great, facilities great and lunch was really good.
We were fortunate enough to swim at both Nisi Geronisou and Coral Bay. Beautiful clear water and plenty of time to explore.
Returned to the harbor around 16.00 after some great entertainment from the Dutch artistes.
Really recommend as a brilliant day out and good value.
Thanks Joseph!

A must do if staying in the Paphos area - Brilliant day out, fantastic food and drinks.
That’s just the basics
The boat
She’s lovely. Well positioned sun beds. If you want more shade go for the middle ones. Sun beds are for adults, so if you’re got tiddlers just be mindful of this.
She’s clean, the toilets are indeed the cleanest and most well kept in Paphos.
The food
Fresh BBQ food with an array of salads and breads. Allergies can be catered for, but please do let them know when booking so they can properly take care of you.
The food was lovely, freshly cooked and very, very tasty.
The drinks
All inclusive for 6 hours, local beers, spirits, cocktails and soft drinks.
Quick service and all really good.
The swim stops
Oh my. Take goggles, a mask, a snorkel. You’ll appreciate the sea life just a small distance beneath your feet. No need for sea shoes. Unless that’s your thing of course.
St George’s
So so clear. Wonderful and just stunning.
Coral Bay
Again, beautiful, swam through a shoal of fish and just enjoyed floating and watching.
The entertainment
We had singer and guitarist combo (I want to say Kim and Kirrel apologies if I’ve got it wrong)
Brilliant, also a magic show for said tiddlers on the inward bound journey.
The host
Joseph. A man who knows his stuff. Lots to listen to and to learn. Makes the day just that bit more special.
Thanks guys
This was our second time with you and we’ll be back for a third next year.

Worth every penny - Fantastic day trip
Joseph has amazing knowledge of the area & magic tricks for the children
We made our own way there which meant we had more time to relax on board & had a great pick of the sun beds for the day
We can highly recommend

An awesome family day out! - We did the Wave Dancer full day cruise a few days ago, booked as part of our short family holiday with Tui to Paphos.
Easy to book but bear in mind the small print: sunbeds are NOT guaranteed for kids. If, once the cruise starts there's a spare, you can use it but if not it goes to an adult. This was the only real negative for me, as when we go as a family (me, wife & 9yr old son) we're a unit and he's not a 2nd class citizen.
Anyway.
The cruise itself was on time and there was a great introduction and commentary at different points to tell stories about Cyprus & places of interest. There was music throughout including live music which was great- the dancing at the end was brilliant and created a great atmosphere. The bbq food was really good and plentiful, even after waiting for the massive rush to subside.
The two swim stops were awesome. My little lad loved it jumping off the ramp & using the slide, and there are buoyancy aids for non confident swimmers.
Overall an awesome day out and highly recommended although do bear in mind that the boat (a retired small ferry I think) does bounce around & roll a bit even in the calm Med.
On that point, a special mention to crew member Yaya who went above and beyond when our son felt a bit seasick. He got him a sickness tablet, lime & 7up (really does help) and when Jack got a bit upset he took us downstairs to a quiet area. A really lovely bloke and an absolute credit to Wave Dancer!
This is a bit of a long review but I really think this is a great day out, so deserves it. Book it & enjoy!

A must if you like boat trips - Our second visit to Paphos and our second trip on the Wavedancer. We opted for the whole day cruise which included 2 swim stops and a lovely lovely BBQ and salad lunch. As we travelled the coastline various things of interest were pointed out to us and explained. There was plenty of time to swim on both the swim stops. We had live music and there was a mini magic show for the kids on the way back. Of course included was all our drinks and the staff were really attentive and helpful. My only criticism is, it felt like we were too tightly packed in on deck with not a lot of personal space. I would also prefer either a non smoking trip or a designated area for smokers and vapors at the rear of the ship. Apart from this it’s definitely worth doing.
