Exciting, exhillerating and excellent value. - This was an incredible excursion! Hold on tight and don't wear light clothing as we can't get the red dust out, but it was fabulous and we would do it again. The charisma and enthusiasm of 'Johnny Cash' and the dare-devil exploits of (I think it was) 'Spiderman' enhanced the trip's mix of adrenaline and scenery. Spiderman even rescued my husband's sunglasses from the Green Lake - which was nowhere near as cold as some reviews had lead me to believe - not cold at all - but refreshing. We loved being able to stand on the submerged Islamic school. Our driver was skilled and friendly. If you are risk adverse, then this may not be for you are normal (UK) health and safety rules do not apply!
At the start of the excursion we were recommended to buy bandanas to cover our faces during the off-roading. If you don't wish to spend 4 Euros on one, I suggest taking your own as the dust will fill your nose and mouth - you do have to close your eyes at times, even with sunglasses. We bought them and felt that they were decent value.
Expect to get wet! This caught us a little off-guard as none of our bags were waterproof - but there are frequent and unpredictable water fights between jeeps (Landrovers) This was a welcome and ingenious way of ensuring that we didn't overheat, but there were times when our bags were swimming in water!
Overall - this was a fantastic experience, enjoyed by 2 middle-aged parents and our 12 and 14 yeard old daughters. We saw the extensive ruins of a Roman aquaduct juxtaposed ith a massive, modern hydro-electric dam and plant and had great fun. Lunch was tasty and we enjoyed the swimming opportunities. There is a boat trip that lasts an hour on the green lake - this is extra and a bit of a surprise, but I think everyone went on it and we would not have wanted to have missed it. I paid for 4 boat tickets and the photo data stick (it's hard to take photos when you're holding on for dear life) and the total was about £55. I also recommend the Turkish pancakes at the cafe stop - we shared 2 between the 4 of us.
Finally - take plenty of drinking water - you are out in the sun all day!

Side Jeep Safari and Canyon - This tour was super fun. No pointless stops at mosques or factories. Really fun from start to finish. Driver, tour guide, photographer.. all funny and good.. Highly recommended. One can also award more than 5 stars.
Unfortunately you can’t 😆 Food (very delicious) and boat tour were also there, swimming, beautiful landscapes, fast-paced rides with a lot of water splashing, dirt and foam (what makes the tour 😁)
Top Top Top 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Best Side Jeep Safari - Absolutely the best jeep safari we have done in Turkey by a mile, driver was awesome from start to finish we were sat in the front with him and he laughed and joked the whole trip and also pointed out loads of places of interest.
The tour was a brilliant mix of off road and on road, plenty of water fights and foam, great locations and scenery and Jonny Cash and Spider-Man our guides were amazing.
Food at the restaurant was lovely and the boat trip on the lake was well worth the extra 10 euros per person for adults our kids both teens went for free.
All the drinks along the stops were reasonably priced and the same at each location. Our teen boys had a blast as did us adults I would highly recommend this jeep safari company and would definitely use again in this part of Turkey.
Amazing day guys thank you all for the memories.

Johnny Cash Discovery Jeep Safari - Absolutely 💯 amazing brilliant day with a fantastic team of drivers, photographers and the funniest host Johnny Cash. The day was wet, dusty and great fun. The food at lunch was really good, which is a change for day trips, drinks extra but was needed. An hour on the water at green lake with optional swimming, then to round off a trip to the waterfall park. Wasn't expensive but worth twice the price.
