Lovey day out. We booked the night before. Good communication with tour company. We were picked up at 7am. Nice comfy mini bus with air conditioning. We drove around picking up other tourists. I recommend taking some breakfast with you as the place the car stops for a break is eye watering expensive. They tried to charge me £8 for a croissant. The boat trip was pleasant, nice scenery and the lunch stop was really nice. There is time for swimming or fishing. The car also stopped at a clothing store where they sell fake designer. We didn’t buy anything as you can find cheaper in the street shops. The tour guide was lovely. Only thing I would say is. It would nice if they offered bottles of water for free in car journey.

Green Canyon Tour!

Tushar_G, May 2025
Bus trip to the Canyon itself takes a couple of hours. Experience onboard the boat was relaxing though a bit boring for us as we can't swim! Lunch could have been better. Overall a good experience.

Response from Host, May 2025

Recommend the green canyon tour

Pat_D, Aug 2024
Beautiful views, swimming breaks were great and lunch much better than expected in a nice setting. Would be nice if the bus driver would give some information about the dam construction. Negative for me was to see old swim platforms scrapped and on the shore - being a reservoir, you would expect water authorities would force a clean up.

See the canyon but not with this company

ArthurPeters_P, Sep 2023
The description read tour with English speaking guide, but absolutely no one spoke English, staff boat crew etc…it’s a Russian operated tour, and yes English dialogue is needed…to appreciate what the dam/canyon is about, it’s purpose history etc…and more importantly to understand welfare and safety instructions, I was left to follow the crowd and hope for the best. Viator whom I got the tour through was absolute rubbish. I rang an operative while on then cruise only to be put on hold, then timed out and didn’t even try to get back to me…the only response I got was the usual agent appraisal email afterwards. This tour is worth seeing but not through Viator or this tour company

Great day tour from Antalya

Lara_S, Aug 2023
Tour guide Murat picked us up promptly from our hotel. 2 hour drive with a stop each way for a break. Minibus could do with more up to date air conditioning but the driver was good and Murat was very informative throughout giving history of the area and the canyons which we were going to see. Boat ride was approx 4 hours which included 2 swim stops and a buffet lunch which was really nice and plenty of pastas and salads. Would be nice to have a little more swim time as felt rushed with other boats / groups arriving like a conveyor belt. Would recommend as a day out to see the area of Antalya, good value for money.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

We are incredibly grateful that you took the time out to leave us a 4-Star review. Yours sincerely;

Amazing scenery

David_L, Jul 2023
Excellent day trip and extremely good value for money. The food was also excellent. I would recommend this trip even on a very hot day as you are shaded.

Cruise of Green Canyon

Malcolm_H, Jul 2022
It was a early start for this tour as was quite a long journey to the Canyons.During the drive the guide virtually said nothing so was quite a boring drive to the canyons.The cruise consisted of a late morning cruise of small canyon with stop for swimming and fishing,lunch, and then afternoon cruise of the large canyon with stop for swimming,then drive back to Antalya so for me a quite boring day

Good tour

Sana_I, Jul 2022
Very good guide and experienced driver . Ride to boat and boat trip was very good . Had unlimited drinks option on boat . Guide was helpful and guided properly .lunch was average and not very fresh . Stopped unnecessarily at shopping spot at end of tour . Rest tour was organised and enjoyable .

Es lohnt sich!

Manuel_C, Sep 2024
War eine schöne Tour. Gab viel zu sehen. Die Guides könnten fließend Englisch und Russisch sprechen und waren super nett :) Die Natur dort ist atemberaubend! Also lohnt sich🙏🏻

Un tour obligado de hacer!

Verioska_R, Aug 2024
Hermoso!! Lo hemos disfrutado desde el inicio hasta el final!! Precioso paisaje y lo mejor fue el darnos el chapuzón en esas aguas cristalinas!! Un paraje espectacular.Todo muy bien organizado por el tour operador, nos recogieron y nos dejaron en la puerta del hotel. El conductor muy amable y atento.
