Alanya Highlights: Waterfalls, Cave & River Tour

What a crazy experience. I highly recommend it to you; not only is it very affordable, but the excursion is also great! We were picked up at our hotel at the exact appointment time. We are taken to a meeting point where we join other jeeps and other vacationers for the excursion. There is a general information session to explain how the day will unfold. Warning: only in English and German. They sell water pistols for €10, but I advise you to buy them yourself beforehand; it will be cheaper. You can have a coffee or breakfast (for a fee). Then we head into the mountains by jeep (about a 1-hour drive), and during the drive there is a giant water fight between the jeeps; it is so funny, the atmosphere is excellent. The organizers take photos and videos with a drone and their camera (obviously they sell you the photos and videos for €50, but you can negotiate). Next, there is a stop at Sapadere Canyon, it was magnificent (we have 1 hour of free time to visit it) you can swim but be careful the water is at 6 degrees so it is freezing 🥶! The setting is magnificent, we took some great photos! Then another jeep road trip and we are off again for another water fight (for your information the drivers fill up big water jugs for us that they make available in the jeeps but bring one or two bottles, it will be useful for the fight). They play music in the jeeps, there is really a great atmosphere, you really don't see the time passing on the road. Next, there is a stop at the cave (the entrance is €6), we have 40 minutes to visit it. Very beautiful. To finish, they take us a 10-minute drive away to a large restaurant with a pool and slides and a natural pool. Unfortunately we only have one hour to have lunch and enjoy the pool. It’s short but we still have a blast. The meal is included, it is a simple but effective buffet (grilled cutlet, raw vegetables, pasta, bulgur, watermelon), be careful you only go through once! Drinks are extra. Finally, return to the hotel. We leave the restaurant at 3:30 PM so depending on the distance to your hotel you won't get back too late. This excursion is great, the organizers are super nice, our driver did a great job and created a great atmosphere for us, thanks METE! I recommend it 1000 times, super good value for money!

Excellently spent the day with the best driver of the blue defender, such an awesome trip by the mountains, the views were incredible. Sapadere canyon was so beautiful up close and the swimming in its waterfalls water was cold, but refreshing. Next trip to Dim cave isn’t included, so it’s extra cost (6€ per person), not as awesome, but cool nonetheless. Next was lunch buffet, good food, good views, great place with normal and natural pools. Oh, and water gun (bottle) fights!! There was a problem with the pickup, they were late for 30mins, almost cancelled, but thankfully I didn’t, definitely recommend!

Booked with Getyourguide. After collection met with lots of other people at a cafe. Drinks,snacks and water guns to buy or hire. £6/£10. No one brought the guns. for the water fight everyone used plastic bottles which was fun. Dim cave was ok been to much better. Loads of steps and hot. You can do a smaller one. Waterfall was ok. Alot of walking in the heat to see the same thing. Tried to get into the water using the steps but it needed more steps as i was too short I wouldnt have been able to get out of the water. Water was freezing 6oc. Best part of the tour was the Riverside restaurant. Banana milkshake was amazing! Buffet lunch included in the price was very nice. We could then use the pool. Overall good value for money.

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.
