Great experience! - Very family friendly and well organized. The only negative thing is that water and soda is not included so had to buy each for 2-3 euro at every stop for the whole family which was overpriced! Bring water and soda with you in a coolbox. Just a heads up! Also you get to rent water guns, so smart thing is to buy them instead before and take them with you on the experience. You will have the funniest water war ever! Enjoy!

💯👌 Recommended! - 12 out of 10! We had an amazing time! One of the best tours I have been in Alanya. Mahir was very knowledgeable, just super nice guy! All the group went above and beyond to make sure we have a great time. I can’t believe we’ve paid so little for such an amazing tour. And if you think that they did a great job ( which I’m sure you will :-)
Please tip the guys, because they’re really awesome 👏

Two fantastic excursions with this Company! Highly recommend. - Me and my wife did 2 Trips with this Company. The only negative thing I can say is the time travelled too fast and I wish we had stayed a whole month in Turkey. First Excursion was a superb tour of the Old Roman Ruins our Guide Mahir gave us a good break down on the history very interesting and well worth seeing. Me and Mahir got on well as we both love history. We also had a superb Boat trip and the scenery was beautiful and lunch was a delicious Salad and Freshly caught Trout cooked superb with bread. It was a wonderful day and we had another Excursion a few days later the Safari and Boat ride another Superb day. This Tour Company are Brilliant they really enjoy their job and make it relaxed fun and very interesting. I would recommend these Excursions to anyone they are an absolute must and make your holiday that much more special with great memories.

WOW definitely an amazing trip/day and travel agent! - Beautiful nature, lot of fun, water fightings on our way and more!!!
I can not tell how great our day was, we really enjoyed it and the staff /guys from Orkinos Travel Agency Alanya did their best to entertain us. They work hard.
Ferhat is 1 of the owner, he's so kind and origin from the Netherlands.
So I could talk in my own language. 😄
They also do private transfers, Sightseeing Alanya and Side&Manavgat Tour.
We were happy and lucky that Ferhat was on Green Canyon that day, he also goes to Side&Manavgat and Sightseeing trips.
Other trips like Rafting, Quad Safari is not their own trips.
YOU MUST DEFINITELY DO THIS TRİP WITH ORKINOS TRAVEL AGENCY ALANYA!
They are also on Facebook and Instagram for more videos and photos.

Honest review - We booked this trip for a family of 4 for 70 euros.
The water fights on the coach are always quite fun.
Apart from that the day is pretty mediocre.
The visit to the zoo is very sad because of the conditions in which the animals are kept. Its a concrete jungle and a lot of the animals are kept in small cages which is not nice to see. The dam is ok but not very impressive.
The green canyon boat ride is not the same as the pictures advertised. It's OK but not great given that this is the main part of the tour. The swimming in the canyon is good fun and probably the best part of the day. The bbq lunch at the paradise restaurant is not a bbq and is far from paradise... to be honest the food was pretty disgusting.
The people that run the tour are very nice though.

Great day after service poor - Had a great day. Went to the zoo (bit disappointed due to lack of animals) looked at a dam (that was switch off that day) then after a pit stop went to the lake which was amazing. Lots of fun all day, staff were great and entertaining. Main complaint we paid £20 for photos and did not receive what was promised. Also had to chase booking agent for them and feel they just sent us all they could be bothered to send as out of a whole day their was 16 of us, when we know they took alot more.

You pay for a water fight - It’s basically a water fight for most of the trip and you pay more for the best parts which aren’t included in the tour. The water fights got so annoying and you basically get drenched with nowhere to put personal belongings. You pay for the zoo unless your hotel is included. They take you round the lake too and stop at different locations to try get you to spend money. The lunch included with this is basically all vegetables and only meat on kebabs. The only enjoyable thing was the zoo. You pay for a massive water fight overall which gets super annoying and you are never dry especially with kids on the trip it’s less enjoyable as they like to cause as much discomfort as possible during all that. Boat trip wasn’t all that either with a quick circle round and nothing more. I would’ve rather gone to the zoo myself and just done that
