Fantastic experience and very well organised. Eric helped arrange it all and his communication and information was excel - The whole trip was very well organised and fantastic experience. The sights to see and the lunch was really great. Highly recommended and go direct through the company running it as really efficient and cheaper than travel agent with hotel.

Relaxing day out - The Green Canyon boat trip was easy to book via WhatsApp, thanks to Eric and Acelya for handling our booking so professionally and answering all the questions. The trip itself was lovely and very well organised from start to finish. Highly recommend to everyone looking for a peaceful day out in the beautiful nature reserve. Post tour we now have wonderful memories and spectacular photos. Having a dip in the Green Canyon was a highlight. Thanks so much to everyone involved for making this trip so special!

Pleasant Experience - Trip worth the money, great scenery and fantastic views. Very friendly crew with good sense of humor. The entire trip took roughly 7 hours with travel. The drive to the Green Canyon took 1 hour one way. All in all, a nice experience and a chill way to spend a day.

a lot of wind - It was very windy and the boat was open without any shelter from the wind, difficult to climb all the stairs up to lunch service

Avoid - This excursion was unfortunately a disappointment. We booked the trip through whatsapp, which was easy enough, also I did find it a bit odd when I was asked for a deposit despite the website saying so pre-payment was required. We were picked up from our hotel at 8:30 and drove all around the Manavgat area, picking up other guests from their hotels. The driver was constantly on his phone and smoking while driving up treacherous mountain roads and seemingly took random detours in order to make the drive to the canyon last as long as possible, meaning the drive, including a random stop at a service station for no reason at all, took around 3 hours rather than the advertised 45 minutes. Once we arrived at the canyon there was no organisation at all. We were all herded onto the same boat like cattle after waiting in line for around half an hour, even though there was another boat available. Due to this overcrowding, the boat was noisy, rowdy and unpleasant. We were promised English speaking guides on the tour, and even though these were provided, as the majority of the other passengers were German and Russian, these announcements were just spoken over. The scenery aboard the boat was the only upside of this excursion. The canyon is properly beautiful and worth seeing. The photography aboard the boat was a bit odd too. A man with a camera went round the boat and essentially forced us to have photos taken despite the fact we said no multiple times. As the excursion states, there are unlimited soft drinks, but unless you want warm, budget soft drinks in tiny cardboard cups, its essentially pointless. We were only in the canyon for around 2 hours before sailing over to a tiny pier to swim. although with the water only being 16 degrees we chose not to. We were then taken back to the harbour and were taken on the bus to the "restaurant" for lunch. This was the worst restaurant I have ever been to. We were asked whether we wanted chicken or fish at the random service station stop at 9:30am, and I'm pretty sure that was when the food was cooked, as it was inedible by the afternoon. The chicken was raw, slimy and cold, the pasta tasted as if it had been left in the sun for hours, the salad was swimming in greyish brown water and everything was coated in flies. The only upsides were the views and the cats. We were also promised the ability to fish and canoe at this restaurant but that never happened. While fishing rods were available, the didn't actually work and there were no canoes about, just one rusty pedalo that looked like a first world war relic. After this "experience", we were taken back to our hotel after another ridiculously long and drawn out journey. I definitely wont be booking here again anytime soon, especially for 30 euros each.

Nice view, food not good and for non-smokers an unbearable experience! - Difficult to evaluate! Since our hotel was not available for pick-up online, we chose the Side Royal Palace, I got the message from the operator to be ready in front of the hotel at 07:45. Where we also waited on time and unfortunately were only picked up at 08:50, 5 minutes later and we would have left again with broken patience. The driver drove appropriately and did not race, there was climate and it took about 90 minutes to reach the finish. So, the tour overall is really nice, the canyon and the water are wonderful! The captain is very friendly despite high load (captain and bartender at the same time). Unfortunately, between the beauty of the area, you are also reminded of the recklessness in dealing with nature, you also get to see some garbage floating, especially in the mooring area. The fishing rods are usable but mostly really scrap with broken tips. The photographer animates with great effort for the usual photos, a few souvenir photos must not be missing. But those who value good drinks and food are absolutely wrong here. We expected to find meat at the buffet, but unfortunately this is allocated in small portions and there is still no piece! The food is of the simplest kind and somehow not delicious at all, just stupid that makes the tour and swimming appetite and hunger. Since you have little time to eat anyway, you spoon it in to be on time at the boat. If you want to see the canyon and bathe in it, you are absolutely right. There were enough places on the boat but again no non-smoking area, you are completely exposed to the smokers again and can only protect yourself with mouthguard or ask to stand with the butt somewhere else!!️ This is again a big problem, because smokers are not very good to talk about and there is therefore trouble with the affected person! Since smokers also seem to care absolutely nothing about children?! We watched a smoker throw a still smoking cigarette in the plastic bin, I poured water over it when it started smoking! The worst thing that could happen in such a case, the boat starts burning, on a lake, with children on board. It's just incredible and incomprehensible to watch this! Therefore only 2 stars, I think the operator is obliged to protect us non-smokers!!️ How are we really going to enjoy this tour when we get smoked up in every corner!?‍️
