About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- BackPacker154190 contributionsALANYALovely place with loads of bargains to be had the canyon on a jeep safari trip is well worth it and you see some breathtaking views from high up in the mountains lunch is included and it’s not far from ALANYA and the city and castle are well worth a visitWritten 27 October 2024
- J8321ZKsamuelm0 contributionsSlimy TurksNot happy when I got to the cave to find out I had to pay more than 100 lira to enter. The tour guides are con-men they say it’s €6 to get into the cave when in fact it’s only 100 lira if you booked online. 100 lira = €2.70 My question is where is the extra €3.30 per customer going ? Clearly going into the slimy pockets of those cheeky Turks. Stay away . Remember not every smiling face is a friendly one.Written 16 October 2024
- 209ainsleys0 contributionsFantastic !We’ve been on this today 11/10/24 absolutely brilliant for all the family my 5 yr old loved it as much as my 18 yr old did brilliant guides lovely places to visit and fun for all couldn’t recommend enough BUT you need to be prepared to get wet 😂 several timesWritten 11 October 2024
- russell c0 contributionsBest day outAbsolutely the best trip out. Even booked a second trip.with my son. Would highly recommend. Will be booking this again when I return in AprilWritten 22 September 2024
- 158phoebec0 contributionsA fun day outCan't complain for the price. We went rafting as our first activity, it was brilliant and the views were fantastic. We then went on the zip line, its only one zip line so don't expect to be doing multiple. We then had lunch, consisting of rice, pasta, salad, bread and a chicken skewer. This was mediocre but can't complain for the price you pay. There are no drinks included, bring enough water and anything else you like, they do sell some there if you need. We ended our day with the buggies, however, it rained heavily and we weren't able to have the full experience of this which was a shame. If you're going to do this excursion bring a change of clothes, water shoes, a balaclava, goggles, toilet roll, wet wipes and towels otherwise you will sit wet and very cold as many people were. Also we were picked up at 9 AM and did not have lunch until 3:30-4PM so bring snacks or a packed lunch if you cannot wait that long. Overall for the price it was a brilliant day out. Not recommended for those with mobility issues, especially for the rafting.Written 21 September 2024
- Habibur r0 contributionsJeep safari was fantastici had amazing day with jeep safari , guide was very funny and helpful, I really enjoyed, I will recommend my friends to come here and do this activityWritten 20 September 2024
- Relax660964953950 contributionsAmazing dayBest trip on a holiday we have ever done. My 9 year old son absolutely loved this excursion and it was the highlight of his holiday. Well organised, well looked after, pick ups and drops perfect. Excellent value. Highly recommended. Eric from the company organised everything for us and this was much appreciated.Written 14 September 2024
- Sherpa443745236820 contributionsIt was okSadly couldn't see Dim cave .because I was only one person who wanted to see and they did not go there. Water guns got a bit annoyed (when you not expect them but they spray on you). No any guiding information only the time when came back to the car. In generally I recommend you will have time swim and see around(get ready be sprained by Water all the time even if you do not want and take comfort walking shoes!)Written 10 September 2024
- Craig P0 contributionsGreat funThis trip is real value for money, it's basically a 7 hour water fight with the other jeeps there ate normally about 10 jeeps to have water fights with, be preparing to pay 5 euros per water pistol on top of the trip price though, dinner was fresh and tasty and the are stops for swimming and photo opportunities tooWritten 10 September 2024
- natalianE1770MP0 contributions1.5 hrs instead of 3Well the sauna and massage were awesome, good experience. However three hours were actually two including the transfer time like 40 min each way (i count here transfer there 40 min plus bath and all the services total 2 hrs. Good people, enjoyed everything there but advertisement of 3 hrs experience is a stretch.Written 4 September 2024
- Kathryn H0 contributionsFANTASTIC DAY WITH GREAT MEMORIES MADEThis was a fabulous day but the very best was the visit to the canyon followed by the rafting, a fantastic full day trip and the lunch was superb 10 out of 10.Written 30 August 2024
- taniaaslam0 contributionsWow! Amazing! Had soo much fun!!The highlight of my holiday! Would highly recommend. From start to finish had so much fun! A great tour team so professional! And organisedWritten 20 August 2024
- Dream548391409630 contributionsGreat tour with a lot to see and doThe tour took us to the hill where the 'Love Alanya' sign towers over the landscape. From there one could see the extent of the city. And there was a man with a camel which you could ride for a short while for TL400. Then onto what was described as the textile market, which turned out to be just a shopping mall where you could buy something or not. Next stop was the cable car, an unusual experience in a hot climate (having only been on one when skiing) that took us to the hill of the castle. One had to go some way to get to the castle where there was a separate ticket booth. The ticket for the cable car didn't include access to the castle. Then onto lunch which was served at a harbour restaurant and quite tasty. Drinks were extra! The trip concluded with a short trip around the castle peninsula on a pirate ship where one could dive off the ship to take a refreshing swim.Written 6 August 2024
- W2162MXalejandrod0 contributionsAmazingReally amazing staff, very inclusive and some of the most fun ive had in alanya I recommend it highly its a 10/10. Food was amazing water amazing and scenery was surrealWritten 4 August 2024
- 292justinam0 contributionsOutstanding dayThis day out is beyond anything you can imagine, it’s an outstanding experience I think everyone should try whilst in the area. We started the day of with collecting out guests in the area, quick stop with the other jeeps (a lot) at a garage to stock up on snacks and juice etc. Then it was off in the hills we went, the views are out of this world, plenty of time to take pictures at the mid point looking over the area, which is breathtaking. Then it was off further into the mountains, be prepared you will get wet, but if your from the UK like us you’ll enjoy it to lessen the small heat you feel. The entire trip was not like when you would be sat at your hotel pool, the jeep is fast and in the mountains so much cooler than what you would expect but still shorts and tshirt warm. Next you’ll head into the waterfalls for a quick dip which again is amazing, but be prepared the water is freezing cold as it’s fresh water and not your usual Turkish pool water which is warm. From here you can choose to visit the caves for a small fee (imo don’t waste your time) it’s a cave and in the heat it’s a hard workout just getting up the stairs 🤣 From here we continued through the mountains onto the other part of the waterfalls. Epic dives in again plunging cold pools. Lunch is amazing here, it’s simple but does the job. You’ll also experience local fruit and nuts etc from local farmers, if you enjoy them then definitely buy it. They are super cheap compared to everywhere else. The whole experience is definitely insta worthy and worth a try. We have loved the whole experience that much we have booked it again for 2 days time. The staff are all amazing, the only downside would be our jeep didn’t have the usual bucket to fill up water guns or bottles which I had expected. Hopefully by Tuesday this has changed and we can take the others on properly. Top tips- use water bottles instead of water guns if your going The garage before you go is super cheap compared to most places so stock up on water or anything here And shoot the experience and just immerse yourself in itWritten 4 August 2024

1) We've visited small but interesting cave and walked to it through picturesque pine forest which smelt amazing. Next stop was Sapadere canyon. This is absolutely must see in Alanya! Very beautiful place! And in the end of itinerary we've visited Dim river and had a lunch.
2) The lunch was average, nothing special. We've taken chicken (juicy and delicious) with pasta (cold and unsalty), marinated cabbage (not tasty) and simple salad with tomatoes and cucumbers. The last one I recommend as a side to the main dish. Other food is not tasty. If organizers add to menu at least fries, lunch will be better.
3) Guide was amazing! Very knowledgeable, optimistic and funny. He told us information in three languages (English, Russian and Polish) and each one he know very well. You won't be bored with this guide!
4) Transport looked as open jeep and it was mostly problem then advantage. When we drove in high speed, wind was so strong and severe that it was really cold although it was 25-28 degrees outside. I recommend to take a cardigane with you. Also there was very loud music in the car. It was good in the first hour but then it was very annoying. Otherwise the driver was very nice and pleasant. He tried to make our trip as safe as possible.
5) Additional stops. It wasn't in description of the tour but we visited two more places. The first was little market with souvenirs which you can find everywhere in Alanya. But there they cost twice or three times more expensive. The second stop was cafe with disgusting and cold gusleme. It took about 45 minutes for 2 stops. I shell recommend organizers delete these stops from the itinerary or find more authentic market and cafe with good food.
To sum up I can say that this tour costs its money. Generally I enjoyed our trip and I recommend it. But you should be prepared to some disadvantages for avoiding disappointment.

The places are all very beautiful. Dwarf Rock was chilling and very beautiful. The drivers drive very well and the guide is super. He talks about various things with great energy and lifts everyone's mood. It is definitely worth visiting this place at least once.

Firstly, this trip was absolutly great and we really enjoyed it, however it wasnt as described. The communication from the driver was briliant before the trip regarding pick up times. The trip was supposed to be 9 hours but was only around 5-6 hours. You go for an amazing ride around the moutains and theres lots of stops for pictures the guide was brilliant with lots of energy. The first proper stop was the Dwarf cave which was 30 Lira or 1.50€ (not the advertised 10 lira and they dont take card), we only stopped for around 20minutes instead of the 30mins. We had a little stop for drinks and pancakes (to purchase) at a little shack on route. And when we got to the canyon/waterfall we were told we only had 40mins instead of the 2hrs (he did extend this to around 1hr when this was brought up but we still felt rushed) we were also told we couldnt swim in alot of the spots due to the current, and could only swim towards the market area where the current was slower. The lunch at the river was really nice, but again we werent really given an oppertunity to swim. The trip was absolutly amazing and we still really enjoyed it, the guide and the driver were absolutly wonderful. It just would have been better it the actual expirience timings and prices were reflected on the advertisement (or maybe lowering the price slightly to reflect the trip being shorter and less free time being offered, we did feel a little rushed at the canyon and would have liked more time to take photos and it was a fair walk to get to the waterfall)
Overall though, a really good trip

This was the second time we have done this trip. The guide is absolutely amazing and will keep you entertained for the whole day, he will also take beautiful photos, which you can then buy for a good price - I recommend! The car ride is fun, the pancake tasting is great, and the canyon is absolutely beautiful. I recommend getting over yourself and getting into the ice water - an experience! Thank you to the guide and the driver, thanks to which we really enjoyed this trip! :)

Most of the day was just driving around, with the driver annoyingly braking hard at intervals and throwing the passengers about as a form of what I can only assume is adolescent-level comedy.
The waterfall, albeit pretty, was underwhelming. The group of us that made it to the end of the canyon were all in agreement that the photos on the website portrayed a far larger and enthralling natural wonder.
I swear that every tour operator in Turkey tries to rip people off too. We were advised by the rep that this was a ‘once in a lifetime experience’ so we paid the funds, but of course we weren’t told about the extra stops that they made in attempt to part us with our wallets even further (‘shopping’ was one of the stops that weren’t mentioned, and we were looked down upon because we refused to go in there and peruse at these weird little trinkets that literally nobody purchased, because, well, what would any sane person need them for?
The free lunch was very bland, tasteless and probably cost all of £2 to make. However, what made the end of the trip more infuriating was that when we were sat down for lunch, the waiter and waitress instantly brought over two massive trays with piddly portions of chips on on separate side plates, as if expecting us to take them (which were additional cost, of course they were!). This is just downright wrong and insulting. How can anyone have the audacity to be so rude as to ply people with food before they even ask for it, not to mention the extra 3 euro charge??
The photographer was also extremely irritating, constantly snap-happy and trying to take pictures of us which he then attempted to sell back to us even though we refused to have our pictures taken, because we all have smartphones in this day and age?
Extremely disappointing all round, I would avoid this like the plague if offered to you.

Day was reallly fun, driver was on time and friendly all day - I think his name was Serhan (self proclaimed Michael Schumacher crazy driver). Sights were lovely and food was good.
There is a water fight with the other cars so make sure you wear light clothes that will dry easily. Started the day at 8.45am and was dropped off around 4.40pm.

We thought the tour was very good and it was a lot of fun. The canyons and the Dim are beautiful! The guide also made the journey there fun, for example a water fight with the other buses. As the cars had an open top, the wind was very good in the heat. The guide made a lot of effort to lift the mood. The meal at the end was also OK. I can really recommend it, but not so much for families with small children under 6, as it is a bumpy road in the mountains and the cars can get crowded. All in all, it was a nice experience.

What a fantastic day out this was. We were picked up from the hotel in what was essentially a transit with no roof before getting taken to meet the other tours. It was at this point it really took off. We had a fantastic ride experience standing up in the back of the van, waving and cheering the other vans with music playing. We stopped at the dwarf cave first which was worth the 15tl before heading to a small market place. It was at this point the waterfights started, adding even more fun to the journey. Next stop was for some turkish pancakes and then onto the canyon. The canyon was really busy at the main waterfall so better to swim at the earlier less busy swim spots. It was then a chilled ride back to the Dim river for lunch, which was ok. **suggestion** infants are free but dont get a seat, we paid for our infant as a child so she got a seat.

Really enjoyed this excursion with very vibrant tour guides. Picked up at hotel in good time and enjoyed the ride to the Falls in open trucks seeing the views and feeling the cool breeze in the scorching hot weather. The water fights..hilarious and entertaining 😂 💦. Only negative is thought water/drinks will be offered throughout bearing the hot weather Overall good excursion and recommend.

What an amazing experience. It already started amazing when they picked us up from the hotel with a trunk without a roof! Views were amazing, guide and driver were on another level, lunch was good. I recommend this trip to everyone. Full experience and amazing price! You can even get photos from the photographer for a really nice price.
