Green canyon - The organization and the entire trip were excellent. Mrs. Wiktoria was fantastic as a guide. I love such chatterboxes and thank you for providing so much nice information about Turkey and Turks

Beautiful and relaxing - This was a lovely experience. So beautiful and relaxing. All staff on the boat and restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful. The tour information in the boat was just the right amount, not too much that it disturbed the relaxation, just enough to be interesting and informative. For the rest of the time a mix of music for all tastes was played. We enjoyed the freedom to move around the boat to get the best views of the canyon. The canyon itself was beautiful with stunning green water and dramatic steep edges and mountains in the distance. The boat deck was spacious with plenty of seating and the scenery was stunning well worth the price. Drinks included was good. These were small cups of soft drink poured from a bottle but were unlimited. Snacks were available for a reasonable price with a small variety but it may be worth bringing your own too. The lunch was a lovely added bonus freshly cooked in a local restaurant with beautiful views of the water. The food was delicious and consisted of a choice of meat served to you and a variety of self serve salad. The only suggestions to bare in mind would be: being in a mountainous region it was alot colder than expected (end of jan). Most people on board were too cold to sit on the top deck as it was very cold. Prepare yourself with extra layers of clothing and blankets as it is well Worth the extra panoramic views to sit on the top deck. The stairs down to the water side are very steep and quite long. On the way up this is quite a climb, for a person of average fitness it is tiring. So it is worth noting that someone who is less able might find this difficult. However you are rewarded with the much welcomed lunch waiting for you following the climb. Overall we found the trip to be a fantastic, relaxing experience and would 100% recommend.

Swimming in paradise - Wow, what an amazing experience. My boyfriend and I loved every minute of the day, the surroundings are absolutely perfect, like paradise on earth! The swimming breaks were brilliantly timed and lunch overlooking the water and mountains was beautiful! Highly recommend and would do it again!

Fantastic scenery, great fun and excellent staff - The hotel pickup was on time and we were on a rather old but air conditioned coach. Our tour guide was lovely and informative, but generally the announcements and information could possibly be more streamlined, and perhaps pre-recorded for those other languages which weren’t available from our guide (he spoke German, English and Russian, as well as Turkish - very impressive). The staff and our rather handsome captain were all wonderful and clearly work very hard. Once we arrived we boarded a white catamaran-style boat (there’s also single-hull boats which are used) and were sailing after around 10 mins An hour or so on water at ‘big canyon’ with incredibly dramatic scenery, it was time to try your hand at fishing (great fun l) and/or swimming and sunbathing. A man with two parrots was also there to show them off - very amusing! There’s also a photographer taking photos (very good ones) which are printed ready at the end of the day but with no obligation to purchase but much better quality than that of most modern phones. And then for lunch - the boat takes you from fishing platform to the steps of the restaurant area and then it’s an equivalent of 3 flights of stairs to the restaurant and cafe/shop area (toilets are here too). The food was fantastic, very tasty and fresh (you choose in advance your main whilst on the coach in so staff can prepare adequately) and then salad, pasta and bread are available in abundance as are soft drinks Next stop ‘little canyon’ and then swimming from another purpose-built platform with changing facilities. This lasts for around 30mins. And then back to the start for the journey home. Things to note: - from Alanya the non-stop journey time to Green Canyon is around 90mins; with other pickups along the way and a brief stop at a gas station for toilet stop, it’s around 150mins (2:30), and the same for return - this trip would not be suitable for kids (that became obvious!) and some got board and played on their phones, although swimming would probably be ok and fishing is always good fun too. - would be unsuitable for those with mobility difficulties or who struggle with stairs. All in all, well worth a visit - and I’m glad we did.

Great experience, beautiful scenery - Super lovely tour, picked me from my hotel and dropped me back promptly. The green Canyon was beuatiful, few stops for swimming and a great lunch with a view. Only thing that annoyed me was flies ?!! there were soo many of them on the boat

Not for the English - Would not recommend if you are English, the tour guide did not even acknowledge us not even a wave or a smile when she got on the bus and never not even once spoke to us. Other groups got information about things we visited not us, she was very rude even if she could not speak English a smile goes a long way. The area visited was lovely I would go if I was you but chose a different tour company to go with.

Good not great - The place itself and the views are beautiful. However I feel like it could have been a lot better. We found ourselves bored after about an hour of being there because we felt like we had seen it all. The swimming was fun but then the lunch was very tedious. We had to queue about half an hour for our food which was below average at best. I feel like the trip would have been more fun if we were able to purchase alcohol onboard the boat, but you can't get it anywhere. For younger travellers looking for excitement this isn't the trip for you. Yet if you're not bothered about that and want to see some beautiful scenery then this is a perfectly good trip to go on

Don’t book with Viator - useless company! - Did not attend as our 1 year old got sick! Unfortunately as it was a few hours after 24 hr policy we have not gotten a refund. Viator don’t care about the health of their customers and don’t give refunds even in these extenuating circumstances. The customer service team have not helped at all and have made the last day of our holiday a nightmare. I would recommend booking locally at the hotel or with a local operator as they are much more understanding and accommodating. I am £70 out of pocket for an experience we really wanted to do but could not attend.
