The rafting/canyoning tour was a complete success. The transfer worked great. The local guides were really great - explained everything and were a lot of fun. Arrived on site, there was a small briefing, you had to get a vest and a helmet (note: it's best to bring your own bathing shoes or buy them there for 8 €). Then we went to canyoning. There you could, among other things, jump off a rock. That was quite adventurous and very beautiful. Then followed the rafting tour. This was also optimal in terms of duration and the sense of adventure. Then there was lunch. Lunch was freshly prepared (chicken skewer, rice, noodles, salad) and was very tasty. However, drinks were not included in the price. It was worth the day and I would recommend this tour to anyone.

Easy booking through the website. I was approached regarding the pick up the day before, it was almost on time at a location nearby. The travel time is bit lengthy, 2.5 hrs each way from Antalya including the detour at other towns to pick/drop other guests, but it’s part of the 10 hrs of expected entire activity time. The canyoning and rafting were enjoyable, despite the shallow water level at many parts of the canyon. Good organisation and lunch preparation by the tour operator. Many thanks to Sinan for his leadership and positive energy.

Really good day out, excellent value. Instructors are brilliant the one on one makes it really enjoyable and if you follow a few simple instructions your nerves soon dissappear. Was really impressed at the care they take of you once you are in the water. Great facilities on the boat and a really delicious simple lunch.

Great experience. The excursion was one of the best we have ever been on. The dive instructors were super professional. They prepared us very well for the dive. Everything is great

Amazing day out! The Jeep Safari to the canyon is a lot of fun. You can get some amazing pictures there. The rafting is really good fun and the staff were amazing.
