Mesmerizing experience with breathtaking views. The lake’s color was absolutely stunning. Although it got a bit windy at times, the warmth made it comfortable. Swimming in the fresh, cold lake was refreshing. The lunch was a little underwhelming with options like chicken on the bone or fish, but there were plenty of soft drinks, tea, coffee, and water included. Overall, a very worthwhile trip and great value for money.

This was a fantastic full day trip with excellent value. We were clearly informed about the pickup time from our hotel at 8:45 AM, and the journey up to the mountains was incredible. The Green Canyon’s scenery was breathtaking. The boat was spacious and well equipped, with unlimited soft drinks, water, tea, and coffee available. We stopped for swimming, fishing, and enjoyed a buffet dinner with lots of tasty options. The service was friendly and efficient. We returned to the hotel around 4:30 PM after a very fulfilling day.

The boat trip itself through the canyon was beautiful, but the shopping stops were disappointing. We were taken to a textile outlet and other places trying to sell overpriced items, including a stop at an orange farm pushing creams. Would’ve preferred more time in nature and less in tourist traps.

Overall a lovely day. The driver was punctual and professional, and the scenery during the boat ride was amazing. Downsides? The soft drinks were off-brand and not great. The restaurant involved a long staircase climb that left many winded, and the food area had lots of flies and wasps. Despite that, we had a great time thanks to the peaceful surroundings.

It was advertised as an 8-hour trip, but we were back in less than 6 hours including long pickup times. The staff and lake were lovely, and Eric was helpful during the booking. Just be aware: the restaurant has steep stairs not ideal for those with mobility issues. A good trip, but felt rushed.

Peaceful, not too crowded, and the scenery with the sun hitting the mountains was stunning. The only downside was that our group got split between different pick-up points, so we couldn’t enjoy the ride together. Still, swimming in the clear water and the quiet atmosphere made it totally worth it.
