What an amazing day out! The Canyon Jeep Safari was such a thrill, zooming through the Taurus Mountains. My kids had a blast during the water fights between the jeeps. We've got the funniest we've ever been covered in mud! Highly recommend this for a fun, family-day! Plus, the Manavgat Waterfall is a dream. Bring an extra set of clothes!

What an awesome day out with the family! 🚙💦 The Canyon Jeep Safari itself was a blast, driving through muddy trails with the kids shrieking with joy in the back seat! Our favorite stop was definitely Green Lake—perfect for cooling off after the dust and the kids loved the water fights. The tour was well organized, and our guide was super friendly.

Our jeep safari adventure was fantastic! Driving through the Taurus Mountains was a blast, and the splashy water fights between the jeeps were hilarious—especially for the kids! Cooler than a roller coaster ride and way more scenic. The stops at Green Lake and Manavgat Waterfall were just breathtaking. Wish I had tips, but frankly, everything is well taken care of. Definitely a day of fun for adventurers of all ages!

Went on the Canyon Jeep Safari and it was absolutely a blast! My kids enjoyed the water fights during the jeep ride and loved swimming in the Green Lake. Plus, the sights like the Manavgat Waterfall and the Roman bridges were stunning. Definitely a trip that leaves both adults and kids thrilled! Just be prepared to get a bit muddy - adds to the fun though!🏞️ Also, those Gözleme snacks are yum. 🥙
