Had an amazing experience on the Manavgat boat trip with Mete and the crew. They were incredibly friendly and helpful, taking the time to explain everything clearly and even assisting us during the market visit. I’ll definitely book with them again when I come back to Turkey.

We went on two different boat trips. The Green Canyon was absolutely incredible by far one of the best experiences we’ve had. However, the pirate boat trip was very disappointing. The one we joined was meant to be kid friendly, but it didn’t feel safe at all. The sides of the boat lacked proper netting, and I was constantly worried my 2 year old might slip through the gaps and fall into the water. Even my 8 year old twins were bored and wanted to leave early. The foam party was the only part they enjoyed. Unfortunately, it just wasn’t worth the cost for us.

We were first picked up from our hotel in a bus that felt like it was falling apart there weren’t even enough seats for everyone. The boat ride only went a short distance along a dirty plastic filled river, then turned back the same way. There was a brief trip out to sea, a quick swim stop, and then we returned to the same river. After that, we were put into an old, worn out minibus and taken to a large tourist market, where we were left waiting for 2 hours and 40 minutes before the return transfer. We decided to take a taxi back to the hotel ourselves. Definitely a disappointing experience.

Unfortunately, this trip turned out to be a real disappointment. Several of the promised services were either not provided or misleading.The trip also included several unnecessary extras, like photo ops with a trained macaw, all at high prices.though it felt more like a nightmare. Sadly, no electric blankets were offered as on other dubious discount trips.My advice: Avoid this tour.

We really enjoyed the day. The hotel pick up was punctual and the transport was very helpful. Lunch, which was included, was tasty and well prepared. The boat trip itself went along the river, out to sea, and then back to the river to stop at the beach again which felt a bit unnecessary. We would have preferred to explore more of the river instead of stopping at the sea twice.That said, it was still a pleasant day out and overall, good value for the money.

Once the cruise started, we saw several pirate themed and regular boats, creating a lively and fun atmosphere. The cruise lasts around two hours, including some time in the open sea. Then the boat stops for about an hour so guests can swim either in the river or in the sea, just 100 meters away. Meanwhile, the crew prepares lunch. The midday mea was genuinely delicious. The guides were very professional, and overall it was a well organized day out. The price is definitely worth what you get.

This trip was excellent from beginning to end. Bartu took great care of me, handling everything with ease and always polite and helpful. The service was truly first class. The transfer from my hotel to the boat was punctual and clean, and they even played some great music along the way. On the boat, the staff were wonderful with my son organizing games and the foam party was a lot of fun. Snacks were reasonably priced, definitely affordable.The boat was very family friendly, and we had a fantastic time. I highly recommend this trip! We also visited the waterfalls and Manavgat bazaar. The entire crew was fun and welcoming, making the day even better.

The boat trip was dull and not very enjoyable it could definitely be more entertaining. The waterfall and bazaar were alright, but the sea part only lasted about 10 minutes, which felt pointless. Overall, the boat segment was quite useless.

We just got back from the Manavgat waterfall trip and had a really nice day out. We chose the waterfall and had about 25 minutes to explore, take photos, grab a drink and ice cream before getting back on the bus to the bazaar.Overall, it was a good day out for the price and I would recommend this trip.

The boat trip was well organised and followed a clear schedule. There was a chance to swim in the sea directly from the boat and we also stopped at a beautiful beach. If you're interested in extras like jet skiing, camel rides, or snacks, make sure to bring some cash. After the boat tour, the group was split into two: one for the waterfall visit and the other for shopping. We chose to see the waterfall, and although it wasn’t quite what we had expected, it was still a pleasant stop. Overall though, we had a really lovely day out.

My son wasn't feeling well the night before, so we couldn't go as planned.

The boat tour was fantastic our kids had a blast. We made a stop at a beach about an hour in, where they tried out the jet skis, which were more affordable than the ones near our hotel. They really enjoyed that part. Lunch was delicious, and the unlimited soft drinks were perfect for the hot weather. The foam party was another highlight they loved jumping off the boat. guide was incredibly helpful with the booking over message after I visited the website. He answered all my questions clearly and made the whole process simple. Overall, it was a lovely experience and I’d absolutely recommend it.

The beginning of the trip was quite enjoyable. My children, aged 9 and 10, really liked the boat ride along the river. We stopped at sea for a swim, which was refreshing. On the return, we had another stop for swimming at the river and beach, which was also nice. Unfortunately, the bar on the boat was already shut, so we couldn’t get any water for the walk or ride, which was uncomfortable as everyone was quite thirsty. The food was decent, though quite basic. Overall, the start of the tour was pleasant, but the second half was disorganized and disappointing
