Guides such as Johnny Cash and Miki keep the day playful, while drivers including Alex and Joseph handle the rough roads.

“can honestly say in 38 years of travelling overseas, that this was the best trip I’ve ever done! It has everything!! Thrills, speed, water and more water! The drivers do a brilliant job, keeping you screaming and gasping as they manoeuvre the dusty tracks, but in the safest manner. The water fights are a refreshing need en route - and a laugh too! Biggest shoutout goes to Jonny Cash - the hostess with the mostest! And Miki - who is absolutely crackers! He jumps to and from jeeps and from jeep to jeep all in the pursuit of raising a smile and taking a photo! Spider-Man has nothing on him!!…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,629 reviews · 7 hours · from $21

“We had a great day. Our driver was amazing, fun and playful. If waterfights at high speed sounds fun, then you this is for you. Prepare to get soaked. Also be prepared to pay for bandana, watergun, drinks, video footage, waterfall entry and tip for the driver, all optional of course, but it will enhance the experience so much. You can easily drop the boatride and go swimming by the restaurant instead.”

“Fantastic tour🤩 Great value for money! They picked us up at our hotel in Side. Our guide was amazing, speaking both English and German fluently, and she was in such a good mood, keeping the group entertained with her stories. I think her name was Gina, and the driver was Mosa (not sure about the spelling). We had a wonderful day exploring Antalya’s old town and the waterfall. The guide gave us excellent information about the places we visited and tips on where to find different attractions and things to do. Highly recommended!”

The entrance tickets being included was also nice so we didn't have to deal with it. Would be nice if the lunch also had a vegetarian entree but sufficient with the multiple sides to build a full meal.”
