“Great value, great trip, great fun!! Would highly recommend!! Our driver Pablo was fantastic and Johnny Cash was hilarious. Spiderman is amazing, how he hangs on to the jeeps is scary!! Lunch was very good and plentiful with great views over the green lake and then a nice boat trip on the lake too. Tip: Be prepared to get dusty, you will need some kind of face covering but this just adds to the experience.”

Review of Side’s Green Canyon Jeep and Boat Tour: off-road fun, lunch, lake scenery, Manavgat Waterfall, costs, tips, and drawbacks.
“Jeep Safari is a great day out and would highly recommend. Johnny Cash & team looked after all the guests and were a charismatic bunch! Saw some wonderful sights including the Green Lake which included a boat trip, Manavgat Waterfalls and numerous landmarks I.e a huge dam, ancient ruins and the green canyon. Lunch was delicious and it felt so free to be stood up in a moving jeep whizzing through the countryside. Only downside was I got my hair wet in the water fight with other jeeps which I’d rather not have happened, but on the plus side it did cool you down a bit so not all bad.…”

“Brilliant day out from start to finish you will not be disappointed. Johnny Cash, Batman, Superman and all the drivers were great fun. Driver on time for pick up. Take something to cover your mouth and nose also clothes you don’t mind getting dusty as the road kicks up dust from time to time. Don’t forget a tip for your driver they deserve it!”

Review of Side’s $20 Cabrio bus safari and Green Lake boat tour, with Taurus Mountain villages, lunch, waterfalls, costs, and honest tips.
“The content of the program is not quite the same as advertised. Visit to the aqueduct and mosque (both 10min). Then a 25min bus stop, because the guide and bus driver want to eat breakfast, poor coffee cost e.g. 4€. We only saw the Green Canyon from the bus window. There was no catamaran, it was a regular boat. The restaurant in Lõuna Ada was ok. We also visited the animal park, it only took 20min. The program could be structured better and should not be stretched out so long, e.g. the morning cafe and the animal park were redundant. We were able to visit the shop in the orange…”

“To była fantastyczna przygoda! 🌞🚙 Nasz przewodnik Johnny Cash zadbał o świetną organizację i spokojny przebieg całej wycieczki. Spiderman i Miki rozbawili wszystkich i uchwycili wspaniałe momenty na zdjęciach. Kierowcy byli bardzo profesjonalni, jedzenie smaczne, a atmosfera przez cały dzień niesamowicie pozytywna. Zdecydowanie polecam każdemu, kto odwiedza ten region!”
Ride through the Taurus Mountains from Side, visit waterfalls and villages, enjoy lunch by Green Lake, and join a family-friendly water battle.
“Adrenalin pur, mit Vollgas über unebene Straßen, stehend im Jeep. Die Tour begann mit einem Besuch am Wasserfall (30 min.) reicht aus um ein paar schöne Fotos zu machen. Danach ging es über enge Kurven und staubigen Pisten Richtung Gebirge. Nach einer kurzen trink und Erholungspause am See ging es zum Staudamm hoch. eine schnelle Fahrt mit Serpentinen. anschließend die Strecke wieder runter donnern und ab zum Seerestaurant für die längere Mittagspause wo entweder gebadet oder einen kleine Bootstour auf dem See unternommen werden kann. (60 min. im Preis enthalten). ein toller Tagestrip voller Spaß. sehr weiter zu empfehlen. ps. hat ich die Wasserschlachten zwischendurch schon erwähnt :)”

“On a vraiment apprécié le parcours ! Il est long et on sent qu’on paie pour quelque chose ! C’est drôle, amusant ! Pensez à prendre un masque (un simple tour de cou ou bandana fait l’affaire) Le prix des photo n’est pas excessif et de qualité ! Merci pour cette belle aventure !”
Review of Antalya’s Green Canyon jeep safari and catamaran cruise, with mountain roads, Green Lake, lunch, swimming, and Manavgat Waterfall.
“Ze maken er iets leuks van. De jeeptour is een belevenis. Meer dan 10 jeeps kriskras over de weg, toeterend en elkaar inhalend. Leuk als je er in zit maar andere medeweggebruikers moesten vol in de remmen en toeterden gefrustreerd. Kinderen vonden het spectaculair. Stop in klein dorpje om wat te drinken en een pannenkoek te eten kost je flink. Het eten in het restaurant bij de Green lake moet je niet veel van verwachten. Klein beetje kip of zalm met wat droge rijst. Drinken en ijsjes zijn belachelijk duur. Reken op tussen €5 en €8 voor een drankje (cola). Je wacht daar bijna 2 uur totdat je op de…”
