Fantastic day on the Jeep Safari! - Incredible value for money. Great day out, the jeep drivers brought all their energy and we wouldn’t change anything. We took our 3 year old who was probably the youngest on the trip and he loved it. He sat with us in the back and as long as one of us was sat down with him it felt safe enough with all the off roading! Great tour guides, got to explore the mountains and get out of town. Would really recommend it! The boat trip costs extra but it’s only €10 and much cheaper than doing a full day trip which explores much of the same area. Drinks are reasonable priced on all the stop so you don’t need to bring anything with you. You get wet, dusty and muddy (if it’s rained recently) so dress appropriately, including footwear.

A lot of fun with a great view - The tour was a real highlight of our vacation. We had a great time and it was a great experience. Expect a lot of fun for a little money. For us the best part of the tour was the water fight. At this temperatures a good cooling. Our tip is to bring a scarf or a thing like this, because there is a lot of dust. You can also buy a scarf before the tour starts. All in all 5 stars, we highly recommend! 😊

Super fun day trip. Adventure, fun in the sun and breathtaking views. - We really loved the Jeep trip and the occasional water fights organized by the drivers ❤️ it really helped us cool off during this super hot summer day. We had multiple stops along the way and organizers really made sure that we were all having fun. Then we had a boat trip on Green Lake with a small swim break. I didn’t swim but people were having a blast 💥 The driver picked us up at the hotel at the established hour, so we didn’t have to wait for him. Lunch at green lake was ok also. The guys were fun and I really recommend this day trip if you’re looking to break the monotony of just laying in the sun at your resort all day. Super fun & highly recommended

Super cool day full of adrenaline and lots of (water) fun! - Had a fantastic day with 2 girls aged 10 and 12. It was all a bit awkward at first, until the water fights with the other jeeps! All the gentlemen from the organization were, in one word, great: the drivers spiderman + badman. Lunch was well organized and the adjacent swimming spot was also a success. Got to see a small part of beautiful Turkey. Highly recommended for a great day!

It was fun, but... - This was a good trip. Pros: they drive crazy up the mountain (that's part of the experience), but you feel safe. They have positive energy, all the drivers/team worked well together. They wanted to ensure every customer had fun. They recorded the drive, took photos if you wanted to buy it for approx €30 euros (unsure as I didn't buy it). Cons: because they were focused on recording & taking photos, they didn't give you an opportunity to take photos other than when they stopped at Oymapinar. They were too fast (not the issue) for you to enjoy the scenic views & take photos. That would be the only improvemeny for me. I met another family & told them this before they went on their trip. They met another family on the jeep, took photos of each other & exchanged numbers so they can send each other photos. Do that, you'll save money.
