Scam, nothing like what’s advertised. Illegal jeeps almost crashing constantly while spraying water on passengers. Drives wrong way, cars stuffed extremely tightly.
Trio never took place. Stood waiting on pavement for 50 minutes. Excuse we got was that are not enough people to allow trip everyday and part of canyon closed. Later found out canyon had been closed for ages due to landslides. Why are you taking bookings for an excursion that is not viable and if you can't run the trip don't you think it is courteous to call
Places are indeed very scenic but organisation could be better. Timing at the cave was less which was challenging as it was very long.
We wasted unnecessary time at a shop for no reason, the tour guide was busy with photographs but then lunch was served at 4.00 pm in afternoon when everyone was hungry which was disappointing.
The guys who run the trip work hard and try to have as much fun as possible with the customers on the trip, can't fault them for that. Just a few things I would change up on this trip and recommend not only to the organisers but for anyone looking to book this trip. If you are going as a family and have young children be warned lunch isn't until 4pm which is a ridiculous time to have lunch by any standards. The drive up to the Canyon was fun we were shooting each other with water pistols and took some good pictures on the way. The Canyon which is the main part of the trip we spend the smallest amount of time at which is ridiculous. We only got to spend 1 hour and to walk the 575 metres to the Canyon can take about 20+ minutes depending on how busy the site is as you have to walk along a narrow bridge. One thing they didn't tell us which is a big tip for anyone going is that where the cars are parked there is a stream which is easy to walk down to with steps this is before the entry and if you want to go for a dip in the water this is the best place. Near the Canyon itself is a bit dangerous, slippery and can be very busy. I think they should give 2 hours at this location. They then return you to a cafe around 12-1pm where if you wish you can purchase food and drink. This is the time to have lunch not at 4pm. Then they take you towards the cave where you can explore for around 45 minutes and final stop lunch which is beside the river and also swimming pool is available. This last stop is 2 hours from lunch at 4pm until they return you back to your hotels. This 2 hours stop is not needed here as most people have a hotel with water park or swimming pools. The last bit is such a waste of time. The buffet is very limited and they come round to take drinks orders and sell extras like chips and desserts all at a cost.
My suggestions to the owner is spend 2 hours at the Canyon at at least 90 minutes. Organise lunch somewhere between 12-1pm as 4pm is a ridiculous time to have lunch. Less time at the last stop. The main tour guide also sells photos which he has taken throughout the day the only catch is you can't see all the pics before buying so we didn't buy for that reason.
We did have fun but they just need to shift priorities and think about families. I bet they must receive commission to stop at the restaurant for 2 hours
We were a bit wary about booking this as we weren’t sure about jeep and water fights! But it was an amazing day out with lots of fun, and the driver was fantastic, looking after everyone. plenty of pools to swim in if you wish, stunning scenery and photo opportunities. Really good value for money, lunch was delicious and plenty of it, I would thoroughly recommend doing this trip (from a very reserved British family!!)
The canyon and cave are wonderful sights and the journey up the mountain is awsome....however the mode of transport was rustic and uncomfortable....and the upper path of the canyon was closed.
It was very nice to see the Canyon and Cave and also the Lunch.
Just the driving time took all together around 4 hours - this was hard. 40 min cave, 50min lunch time and 50 min Canyon, 30 min break restaurant - the rest was driving time.
Buffet on the River was very cool with buffet and everything. Guides wa very kindly and made good mood. Canyon was not special, just a tourist point with lot of people.
It was a nice tour. The only thing, the guides where very hasty at every place. I already mentioned that my Mother could walk so fast and you know we where with small kids. I also broke my ankie the night before, but thats ok, I could manage.
Furthermore, again, in the discription is also written 'private tour'.
And the food was poor at the Dim Cay.
The guide was funny and highly energetic. The places we went were just so so, and the driving was a little crazy. We had a good time, but it was not our favorite excursion.
Visit to the cave. And the canyon waterfall was a memorable experience. The jeep driver was very capable and knew the area well.

Thank you for you feedback. We will consider your feedback. Hope to see you again.

The canyon was worth seeing But there was a lot of waste of time stopping at various places. We spent eaxctly 60 mts at canyon but tour took 6 hrs. The guide was super entertaining.
No provision for water on way. We took the detour to the lunch venue It was already 2.30. The lunch provided was not good not tasty. This tour is 9 to 1 affair without lunch
It was great! Would definitely recommend nice people and lovely lunch. Lovely people and there is no other providers that deliver the same experience!
Very helpful trip organisers, tour guide was very energetic, made everyone laugh, encouraged participation from all who went.
Great information passed in several languages. Extensive knowledge of the mountains and the sights to see. Admission into the canyon. Photographs every step with option to buy. Great food at the Dim river restaurant. And finally amazing driving skills displayed throughout the whole tour by the jeep safari drivers.
War ein schöner Ausflug mit einer rasanten Jeepfahrt inklusive Wasserpistolen Einsatz. Schöne Aussicht. Besuch einer Tropfsteinhöhle. Mittagessen inklusive. Sehr zu empfehlen.
De gids die heel goed was ( vriendelijk maar wel aanwezig ),het water gevecht, en met nadruk de kloof met watervallen
Het was echt een hele leuke dag! Je word opgehaald met een busje zonder dak. Dan rijd je naar sapadere Canyon. Wat een hele belevenis is! Geweldige gids! Watergevechten met andere busjes of jeeps! Bij de waterval heb je ongeveer een uur! Voor ons genoeg tijd. Daarna naar de grot en dan naar een zwembad bij de rivier! Keuze waar je wilt zwemmen is aan jou. De lunch die is inbegrepen is pas rond 4 uur dus neem wat mee of koop wat bij de andere tussenstops. Prima te doen! Wij hebben echt een geweldige dag gehad! Ik had het niet beter kunnen verwachten
Es war ein toller und sehr gelungener Ausflug. 😊
Der Fahrer sowie unser Fotograf der dabei war waren sehr freundlich und habe gute Laune verbreitet. Die Zeiten waren auch angenehm und angemessen bis auf die Zeit beim Mittagessen Al Dim River ( 1 1/2 Stunden ). Diese war uns leider zu kurz da die kleinen natürlich in Ruhe essen und danach noch baden wollten. Alles in allem allerdings top und würde es jedem weiter empfehlen.
Wij hadden ons ontzettend verheugd op dit uitje, maar is zo ontzettend tegen gevallen de trip zou om 09.00 beginnen maar om 09.45 kwam er pas iemand ons ophalen tussendoor gebeld en geappt met ze. Het zou 9 uur duren maar om 16.45 al terug bij het hotel dit betekent 2 uur te vroeg. Er staat voor de grot 10 lira betalen maar was ineens 4 euro op.
En met 15 a 20 min sta je weer buiten.
Bij de sepadare kregen we 1 uur en was allemaal super gehaast met fluiten dat we moesten opschieten enz dus totaal niet kunnen genieten.
Het was het niet waard het geld we hebben zelf mooie foto’s kunnen maken maar wij raden dit zeker niet aan.
Ein super Erlebnis und ein ganz tolles Team. Wir hatten ein rundum tollen Tag. Essen war auch super.
Macht weiter so...
