Formidable river cruise! - Wonderful experience gained during this Manavgat river cruise; I was picked up neatly on time by the driver at my hotel and dropped off neatly at the boat. After a beautiful cruise through the canal, we sailed to the Bosphorus. We were allowed to swim for an hour in the Bosphorus; there you could also go on the watercraft or take a walk on a camel. Once back on the boat, all guests received a delicious lunch! After the cruise dropped off at the big bazaar, where you can shop cheap and haggle with respect. Then neatly dropped off at my hotel. All in all an absolute must! Really do!

Decent but be aware of hidden costs - Bring Cash! Drinks not included and not allowed to bring own on board. 20% surcharge if you pay by card! Waterfall visit extra 4 euro per person charged as you board the boat. Beach lounges 1 Euro each. Write up is misleading as implies that both drinks and waterfall visit are included. Would be better if this was clear up front to manage expectations. Cost per person does seem cheap for a full day tour otherwise.

Busy schedule - We’d organised a day trip to include River cruise, time in the river or on the beach, meal, (drinks and ice creams were extra. Mangavat waterfall Dickman shopping Mangavat bazaar Reviewing the river cruise here. The coach and guide picked us and others from our hotel. The driver then stopped at other hotels until it was full. The trip guide was excellent, great English speaking and informative all day. There are dozens of river boats and staff were efficient and helpful on getting my husband onto the boat. The stairs are narrow and it was very hot on board, finding shade was important unless your a sun lover. The decor could do with updating though. The carpets are really frayed on the steps. We had the option to get off onto the sanded area, sunbeds available at a cost or you could swim in the river. We chose neither, it was that hot and tiring. Your choice of meals chicken or fish were delivered efficiently with bulgar, salad and bread.

Wouldn’t go again - Found it a bit unorganised, we was collected in a very old van and he drove extremely Fast 90 when the signs were saying 40 I felt unsafe, drinks were expensive on the boat and we wasn’t on the list for our return to the hotel so ended up getting a taxi at our own expense
