Alanya Highlights: Waterfalls, Cave & River Tour

I booked in mid-June. I saw the Dimçay cave but the dwarf cave was the one I saw. However, that was not a problem. According to the description, nothing was mentioned about the jeep tour, which was a lot of fun, including a water fight for the round trip (transfer by jeep). The entrance to the canyon was included; only the dwarf cave had to be paid for separately. Food was available along the Dimçay River in a nice location right by the water where we were also allowed to swim for 30 minutes. What was okay was the ice-cold water. In the restaurant, a buffet was prepared; there was plenty of food. However, when you sit at the table, a waiter comes with fries, juices, drinks, etc. You should know that these come at an extra cost. A price list is distributed to the tables beforehand. A beautiful tour that one should definitely take for both young and old.

A nice way to spend the day out of the hotel, visiting beautiful nature spots around Alanya. First you stop at a little mini river/rest spot where you can purchase some Turkish pancakes (200lira) to break up the drive for about twenty minutes/half an hour... Then the next stop off is at the Sapadere Canyon, where you get to walk all the way up to the top, take some photos, have a dip if you want to and come back down. Next you head off to dim caves, where you can enter and walk through (for an additional 7 euros/300 lira).. After the caves, you are taken to the dim river for lunch and a swim - there is the choice to swim in the river or the pool (or a bit of both) which has slides and it was a lovely finish to the day. I gave it five stars because the tour company delivered on what it was supposed to do, and really well. The tour guide was great and the drivers - all very friendly. I would strongly advise you take plenty of drinks because there's quite a bit of walking involved and be prepared for the more than 1 hour long transport between hotel to the first spot and then again between the canyon and the cave/river. Take some extra cash for the pancakes, cave and maybe even the photos that were available from the photographer that follows you for the day (that cost around 50 euro and he sends you all of the photos and video for the day). Overall we enjoyed ourselves, we were a party of 6 adults, one teenager and 4 children (one as young as 4). We opted for the coach version, but you can go via jeep as well, if you want a more exciting experience.

Generel speaking, it was a okay trip. BUT, the guide could easy make it better by having more knowlige about the atractions as were visiting. For example in Sapadere Canyon, the distance from restaurant to the waterfall, we asked but he didnt know. Likevise the guide could make the bustrip better by telling about the landscape and remarkable things as passed under the driving. For exampel on the trip home, we passed a huge statue beside a flag on a hillside, but nobody knew why it stod there? By-by from Soren

Nice trip only the description as it says here on TripAdvisor is not correct. We were not picked up by a Jeep but a regular van and also there was no visit to the place known for silk production, and swimming was also not possible due to the strong current. The guide Anna was very friendly and had a lot of knowledge. Because of the price, the trip was still sufficient.

It was a tour with a lot of exciting impressions from the interior, where we would not otherwise have gotten there so quickly on foot; amazing views of Alanya and the mountains, from orchards along the way to an exciting gorge with mountain stream to the impressive stalactite cave... full porgram that I definitely wouldn't manage every day of our holiday, but on the 5 days of our stay that was a great fit to do this one tour with.
