Excellent way to see the region beyond Kalkan. Very organized tour with interesting info at each site. I especially liked the ancient city of Xanthos—it's quiet but really powerful. The guide was knowledgeable and approachable.

So much fun! We laughed a lot during the water fights and soaked in so much beauty at every stop. This was our first jeep safari and it totally lived up to the hype. The gorge was cooler than expected—literally and visually.

We really enjoyed this day trip. Not only was it fun, but we learned a lot about the Lycian region too. The lunch was better than expected, and there was a good amount of time to relax at the beaches. Great value for money.

Helpful? Yes

Everything about this tour was smooth and enjoyable. From the friendly guides to the gorgeous views and refreshing swim stops, it ticked all the boxes. Would definitely do it again next time we’re in the area.

Helpful? Yes

The tour had some fun moments, especially the water fights and the visit to Saklıkent Gorge. My kids enjoyed that part a lot. But the day felt a bit too long, especially with younger children. The lunch was okay, nothing special. We also found the jeep ride a bit uncomfortable at times on the rougher roads. It's not a bad experience overall, but I think it's more suited for groups of friends or couples rather than families with small kids.

Helpful? Yes

The jeep safari had its highlights—Saklıkent was definitely worth seeing, and the scenery during the drive was nice. But the tour felt slightly disorganized at points. There wasn’t a ton of information given about the historical sites, and some of the stops felt a bit rushed. The mud bath was fun, though not really my thing. I was hoping for more insight into the region and a bit less time just waiting around between stops.

Helpful? Yes

We had a decent day on the tour, but it didn’t fully meet our expectations. The water fights were fun and the gorge was beautiful, but the historical parts were a bit underwhelming, mostly because the guide didn’t explain much. Also, Kaputaş Beach was really crowded and we didn’t get much time there. It’s a nice idea for a day out, but it could be improved with better planning and more engaging commentary.

Helpful? Yes

We had such a fun time on this tour! The water fights were the best part—we didn’t expect to laugh that much. Saklıkent Gorge was beautiful and refreshing, especially on a hot day. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the schedule felt a little rushed in the afternoon, especially at Patara Beach. A bit more time to relax there would have made it perfect.

Helpful? Yes

Great day out with the family. The kids (17 and 14) really enjoyed the jeep rides and mud bath. Saklıkent was a highlight for all of us, and the scenery throughout the day was gorgeous. My only small complaint is that the jeeps were a bit cramped for taller people, but it didn’t ruin the experience. Would definitely recommend it for active families looking for a full day adventure.

Helpful? Yes

We had a really good time overall. The guide was friendly and the stops were well chosen. Xanthos was very interesting and Patara Beach was stunning. The lunch was tasty but a bit delayed, and we felt the visit to Kaputaş Beach could have been longer. Still, it was a great way to see several places in one day without the hassle of planning everything ourselves.

Helpful? Yes

Very enjoyable tour with a great mix of nature, history, and beach time. Saklıkent Gorge was impressive and a nice escape from the heat. The guide shared useful facts without going overboard, and the group was friendly. Only reason for 4 stars is that the ride can get a little bumpy, so it might not be ideal for everyone. Otherwise, a great way to explore the Kalkan area.

Helpful? Yes

We had a really fun time on this tour. The jeep ride through the countryside was beautiful, and the water fights were such a cool surprise—definitely one of the highlights. Saklıkent Gorge was stunning, and the lunch was actually better than we expected. The only downside was that Kaputaş Beach felt a bit rushed. Would’ve loved just 30 more minutes there. Still, an amazing way to spend the day with friends.

Helpful? Yes

A great mix of history, nature, and fun. My wife and I especially enjoyed walking through the gorge—it was peaceful and refreshing. The visit to Xanthos added an interesting historical touch, and the guide gave us just enough context to appreciate it. Our only small complaint was the timing at the last beach stop—it felt a bit short. Otherwise, everything was smooth and enjoyable. Definitely worth doing while in Kalkan.
