Protaras in a few weeks - activity planning

[Kvec1507]

Hi all
We are going to protaras in a few weeks and looking for advice and ideas.
We are staying in a James villa so will spend most mornings by the pool.
We have a 15 year and 11 year old boys who love watersports.
Is it best to book these before we go or just pay on the beach? They want to do jetskis, boat trips, paddleboard, kayak etc. Also probably another intro to scuba.
Also is there anything else we should defo do and a good boat trip or two and swim with turtles?
Also is there a strip with restaurants in protaras for evening meals as I don't want to cook every night lol
Thanks in advance

Not been for donkeys years but definitely a strip with restaurants.

I definitely recommend Ayia Napa waterpark. There are food and drink options inside which are reasonably priced for a water park, and you can rent loungers and sunbeds if you want to lay and enjoy the sun.
There are boat trips which head out to Cape Greco. They depart from the pier throughout the day. Most of the companies offer the same route, so pick the one that best fits your schedule. You’ll probably stop a few times to have a swim.
There’s a dancing water show every night in the middle of Protaras. We all really enjoyed it. Definitely book your tickets beforehand though.

Water park and Luna park (fun fair) both in ayia napa. The Luna park is only open in the evening but it's a lovely town to walk about at night too and there are regular busses. The boys might also enjoy a day at Nissi beach with the music at the beach bar.

Also re boat trips there are some go from protaras but more choice from ayia napa. Depends what they like, there is the black pearl or smaller cruises. The only thing you might need to book is the scuba. Most other things will be available daily. Not 100% sure on the paddle boarding as that's newish so unsure on demand vs supply
