Good fun trip - Trip was pretty and very fun, especially the water fights. Be prepared to get very wet and maybe wear sensible shoes as there is some walking. Very fun day whether with kids or not!

A nice excursion in - The tour is very good for the price. The scenery is breathtaking. You can't have enough of the waters. Our driver was going a little too fast. Otherwise, we super satisfied.

Full value for money - A good excursion to the Taurus Mountains. We were gathered up at the hotel and drove with a number of other cars up the mountains. Good stop and water war between the vehicles - it was quite entertaining and nice in the heat! The guide Pablo made sure everything played. Be obs of loud music and prepare to get wet :-)

Not what I expected. Prepare to get very wet - Driver was very prompt with pickup from our hotel. After all the hotel collections we met other jeeps at a vantage point on a mountain where our tour guide introduced himself and explained the format for the day. BE AWARE. They hire out water pistols for the Jeeps and people do hire them! Now I was not up for this but to be fair it did get everyone in high spirits and brought my grumpy 6 year old alive again and into a good mood. The journey to the first stop was the Jeeps leap frogging each other so an epic (and all in good spirits) water fight could happen. The first stop (everyone already drenched) was actually to a traditional pancake house not a silk factory as advertised. Didn't bother us as this was actually a spot we could swim in the river. We saw turtles and fish as well. 30 minutes stop here. Next stop was to the Goblin caves for another 30 minutes. Entry was extra for tickets but very inexpensive so we didn't mind and it was interesting to look inside and walk round. Onto Sapadere canyon for an hour's stop. Again extra but very worth it for the money. Scenery was amazing and there were three swimming spots which were amazing but there water so cold it was like jumping into a plunge pool. Fantastic experience though. Afterwards we drove to the lunch stop. Chicken kebab, rice, bread and salad. Basic but tasty and it filled a hole. Drinks were additional charge. Once everyone had finished eating it was back to the hotel. A very fun day all round even though my grumpy 14 year old could barely admit it.

Great to cool down and have a laugh - We booked this trip before we landed. Had loads of fun with the water fights we had (be prepared to get drenched) and the guys doing the tour done their best to keep us entertained. Only complaint we had is that we were asked for money to see the waterfall but on Tripadvisor is stated that it’s included in the price so be expected to pay extra money to come out of your pocket to have the whole experience.

Good fun but not what is advertised! - After reading the description and itinerary we were expecting to drive up to Sapadere canyon, possibly with some information about the history/wildlife in the area, and then a visit to Sapadere village for info about silk production. Although the trip mentions Dim Cave in the info, this wasn't actually mentioned in the itinerary so we weren't sure what to expect. We got picked up back on time and taken to meet up the rest of the tour, where our guide explained we would be going to a small family restaurant and learn about pancake making, then to Goblin Cave (which you had to pay 150 lira per person to enter) and then on to the canyon. They also informed us at this point that waterfighting between the jeeps was traditional, and before we knew it we were absolutely soaked and firing water guns at each other as we overtook in every other lay-by on the way into the mountains. The first stop at the family pancake place would have been fine, if they hadn't started by turning a massive foam cannon on the crowd. Whilst we were trying to dry our clothes and people had pancakes, the tour guide approached and asked us to pay in advance for entry to the canyon. I explained we had paid for this already with our Viator booking, which got me a confused look. He explained everybody on the tour had to pay, as is was only another 150 lira each we agreed to save from an argument, however when I showed him the Viator booking email and tickets, he again looked confused and said we would sort it out later. Later never came. Goblin Cave was cool although not particularly big, absolutely no information was provided apart from that it was found about 7 years ago.. Sapadere Canyon was absolutely stunning and just about worth the 2-3 hours of messing around water fighting in the jeeps, however we only got to stay for an hour which was not really long enough to have a swim. Food in the family restaurant was simple but all very tasty. Who knows what happened to the Sapadere Silk production stuff, presumably it does happen but nobody mentioned it. We then got taken home, thankfully with no further water fights. To be clear, had we known what we were signing up for, we would probably still have gone. However we would have been fully kitted out in swim wear from the start and probably tried to book a separate tour for all of the nerdy local info. There were other tours who appeared to have go this memo and looked to be having a much better time. Our tour guide mentioned Get Your Guide several times and didnt know what Viator was, so I do wonder if Viator need to get some wires uncrossed and make sure they're advertising the right thing. Again, overall was not a bad day out, in fact it was great fun and I would highly recommend to anyone with kids, or who just wants to have a laugh and doesn't really care about the culture, history or wildlife near Alanya. However, if you're a nerdy couple who wanted a nice day out to learn about local culture, book something else.

Never again . - Nothing they said in adverts was right they said we can eat bananas in banana field but lie they just take you next to it and you take pictures. It was sapadere canyon fee was included in my booking but they still ask me to pay for it. And still waiting for refund. Also who ever goes with them take your drink with you and dont buy anything where they stop for food or drink. Because they are charging a lot for drinks. I bought ayran for 100 lira which is in shops is 10 lira. However driver was good we had fun in jeep.
