Always happy! - It was really very nice, the boat tour was good, even the water was still nice and warm in Manavgat. The food was delicious and sufficient and the time at the bazaar really sufficient! Always happy!

Simple cheap trip with amazing staff - The staff made this trip amazing and fun. It was a cheap day out, trip down the rive. Then busses to the waterfall and an easy way to visit the Bazaar. For the price this was spot on

Amazing experience - My partner and I went on this excursion together, we booked in advance and it really did not disappoint! I read a fair few reviews and looked through everything on the page before booking and my partner and I both cannot understand some of the reviews sharing bad experiences, everything that was stated on this page for the excursion was provided and the itinerary was exactly what was offered. Our experience from this excursion was excellent and even though we have already experienced this I would happily do this again if we visit in the future. First off I have to say that the staff were absolutely amazing! They were so fun, friendly and engaging and were looking out for all the customers making sure they were okay and had everything they needed. Yes there was extra costs on the drinks and snacks but this was already stated and it was all fairly priced and clear, also you weren’t forced into buying anything extra if you didn’t want to. My partner bought beer and I had an iced coffee which was delicious. The views were lovely, music was great even song’s I didn’t know I still enjoyed. The staff members also sang songs and joined in during the foam party which was amazing! I was shocked when I saw them singing I thought it was just a track but they were actually singing which was amazing, they were great! There was also a photographer who would pose you with a parrot and take photos, he was very respectful and lovely too if you were afraid of the parrot he would just take a nice photo of you or you and whoever you’ve come with. Towards the end of the boat trip he did come around and show you the photos he had taken in prints, in frames and on a commemorative plate, you didn’t have to buy anything but me and my partner really loved the photos he took so we did buy some which again we thought were reasonably priced. The beach we stopped at was gorgeous, you could also swim in the river if you wanted but I preferred the beach which was so refreshing to take a dip in the sea. There were stalls where you could get food, drink and buy items, water sports like jet skies and there were also camels that you could ride along the beach but again you weren’t forced into going to any of these or buying anything also the staff did tell everyone before getting off the ship what the prices for the water sports should be so they really looked out for you. After the beach stop we boarded the boat and they had a bucket and hose where you could get the sand off. When back on the boat they served a lunch of chicken, rice, salad and bread and it was honestly so delicious it was fantastic. My partner has a severe nut allergy but he showed them his allergy card which is in Turkish and there were no problems with anything & he could also eat the food which he also thought was super tasty. After the boat trip we went on small coaches/buses and stopped off at the waterfalls which we bought a ticket for at the start of the excursion from the hosts at an extra cost of €4 each which I think is a great price. The waterfalls were beautiful and there were plenty of shops and stalls to buy souvenirs, trinkets, food and drink from if you wanted. After this we went back to the coaches and were taken to the bazar where we were given a meeting point and then given free time, this was a great experience but also a bit overwhelming as the bazar is so big and can be a bit daunting if you don’t like crowds but I still found it interesting to see all the stalls. After the free time we met back at the meeting point and our hosts made sure we all got back onto coaches/buses to be dropped off at our hotels. The only thing I might change about this trip is I’d say it would be nice to spend a bit more time at the waterfalls over the bazar as we were at the bazar for a long time but I do understand due to the bazar being so vast you do need a lot of time there to explore it. I would also like to say a big thank you to all the staff on this excursion they worked hard, provided a great service and they really did create wonderful experiences and memories for me and my partner.

A fun day out - Great day out and the team work hard! I don't think I'd bother with the waterfalls as really not that interesting and I would have liked more time in the market. But that's on what I booked not the trip or team !

Relax day? Maybe not - The guide Memit was lovely and informative. Buy your bags etc at the market. The outlet isn’t as cheap, as shops in the area.

Super Trip - Hotel pickup and transfer back to the hotel super planned and worked out! Excursion is very nice the team tries really hard. The only small thing to complain about is that all drinks including water bottles must be dropped off before entering the boat! Anyway we consumed on the boat Coke beer ice cream... with the 2 water bottles handing off was a bit unsightly because of that not 5 stars! Price performance great!!!

Good day out with issues… - We booked onto this tour via our hotel and its booking agent - Sami. (Booking via Faby tours) Pick up transportation wasn’t at the hotel at the time indicated, but on chasing up our booking agent we were told it was usual for transfers to be late in Turkey (?) It arrived 20 minutes late and by the time we got to the boat there were no seats available and we were left standing with other passengers in the centre of the boat for 15 minutes until extra chairs could be found. The trip itself was pleasant - sadly our tour booking agent didn’t advise us that there would be opportunities to swim and so neither we nor the kids had swimming costumes with us. The beach stop was nice (very hot which was to be expected) Food was pleasant and fresh, drinks reasonable. The shopping was fun, albeit the guide on the tour advised us to buy at the first stop (outlet type shop). The second stop (market) was much more fun, though I appreciate that the quality may be questionable… All in all a good day , shame we didn’t have all of the right info and seemed a bit chaotic and disorganised.

Value for money is simply unacceptable. Not recommended. - Unfortunately, the trip was a great disappointment. We were forbidden to keep our drinks, only to be forced to buy overpriced drinks on the boat. The boat itself was in a very dirty condition and definitely not worth the price. In addition, unsolicited photos were taken of us, which we then had to buy regularly. A clear border crossing. Value for money is simply unacceptable. Not recommended.

Party boat, not relaxing as described - The concept sounded lovely. It is not as described. This is why I give it two stars. If you like party boats, this is for you, if you are looking for a peaceful trip to waterfalls and on the river to the market, this is not it. The river cruise was pleasant, but the loud music and foam party ruined it a bit. Also, there is a parrot and camels on the way being used for photography. It felt very rushed and there was barely any time at the waterfalls or the market. If there is more than two of you, getting taxis and skipping the boat trip to see waterfalls and market would be better. There are also no vegetarian options, other than salad. The staff were all helpful and lovely, just the experience was not as described.

Do not go - So where to begin we were sold tickets for a wonderful river criuse which included a stop at the waterfalls and the market to do some shopping, the day didn't start very well waiting for the last couple out of the hotel put us almost 20 minutes behind, anyway to carry on got to the boat and climbed aboard. The wind was going right through everyone on board we sat and waited and waited no one told us anything we all sat in the wind for over an hour there was no where on board to avoid the biting wind. At least 10 people got off and decided to go back to their hotels and knowing what we know now ourselves and others said that they wished they got off, Everyone was wrapped in towels that individuals brought from the hotels, So eventually we set off after they struggled to get the boat going so we cruise up for half an hour because everyone was freezing by this stage no one could take pictures as it was too cold to hold the camera. The boat was supposed to stop and we were supposed to get off for a short time, however the guide came on the tannoy and said due to the high winds we won't be getting off they turned around and headed back again slowly as the driver was struggling to keep the boat straight. Finally after what seemed like a lifetime the boat stopped for lunch which was served onboard the food was nice but could feel fingers so didn't really enjoy, we went onto the waterfalls but again freezing and finally onto the market, around 10/15 minutes had gone by and stall holders started packing up so that was a let down too. Would I recommend this trip to others never in a million years unless you want frostbite. This trip should have been cancelled by the tour guide they were all downstairs out of the wind and left everyone upstairs to freeze in the wind. If I could give this zero stars I would avoid at all cost.
