The trip was pretty good and peaceful overall. The bus ride to the boat felt a bit like a roller coaster, but it kept things interesting and we arrived safely. The bus was well ventilated at the start, but on the way back it got quite warm since it was parked in the sun for about an hour during lunch, though it improved later on.Our driver was friendly and spoke some English, but there were times we didn’t know what was happening since most people spoke Turkish, Russian, or Polish. The driver apologized and gave us some information during lunch. Lunch was okay main choices were fish or chicken. The fish lacked flavor, and while the chicken’s texture was good, it was a bit burnt and also bland. Not terrible, though. I would still recommend this trip. It was relaxing and peaceful, with a chance to swim briefly in the beautiful emerald lake, which isn’t salty and felt really nice.

Helpful? Yes
It was a pleasant walk through a stunning landscape—definitely something I’d recommend. Just keep in mind that the bus ride from Alanya is a bit lengthy, but aside from that, everything else was excellent. It’s an experience worth having.
Helpful? Yes
The tour itself was vibrant and truly enjoyable—perfect if you're curious about the city's history and culture. My only issue was at the end: we had to wait around 1.5 hours because one inconsiderate tourist decided to take extra shopping time, delaying everyone else. The company should really set a firm return time to avoid this kind of situation. Other than that, it was a fantastic experience overall. Definitely recommended.
Helpful? Yes
While most of the trip went well, there was one unpleasant moment. The tour manager lost his temper and started yelling at a woman and her daughter because she didn’t want to switch buses. He even threatened to make them get off the bus in the middle of nowhere, which made everyone uncomfortable. Aside from that, the rest of the experience was positive. The drivers and guides were kind and clearly knew what they were doing.
Helpful? Yes
The Green Canyon itself was beautiful, and we really enjoyed swimming in the crystal clear water. However, the actual time spent on the lake was much shorter than we had anticipated. One major letdown was that no drinks were provided, even though our booking specifically mentioned unlimited soft drinks onboard. We showed the confirmation to the organizer, but they didn't offer us even a single drink as a gesture of apology. We weren’t the only ones other guests with the same deal didn’t receive drinks either. The transfers were done in open-top jeeps, which could’ve been fun, but unfortunately our driver drove recklessly and kept joking around behind the wheel even on the motorway. It made the journey feel unsafe.
Helpful? Yes
The scenery at Green Canyon was absolutely stunning, and swimming in the lake was the highlight of the day. I really appreciated the peaceful atmosphere on the water. However, I was disappointed that the tour didn’t include the soft drinks as advertised. We showed the booking details, but nothing was done about it. Also, our jeep driver was driving too fast and a bit carelessly. Still, a great trip overall—just needs better organization.
Helpful? Yes
A really enjoyable day trip overall! The canyon is gorgeous and swimming in the crystal-clear lake was refreshing. The jeep ride could’ve been more enjoyable if the driver wasn’t behaving so wildly, especially on the highway. Also, we were promised unlimited soft drinks, but none were available, which was frustrating. Despite that, the natural beauty of the place made it worth it.

I loved the views and the boat cruise—it was peaceful and relaxing. The lake was very clean, and the swim was lovely. The only downside was that the drinks we were told would be included weren’t provided, and even when we asked, no solution was offered. The jeep ride was thrilling but the driver took too many risks for my liking. Still, it was a memorable outing and worth recommending with a few improvements.
