Fun and informative

Fun and informative trip. Sonny (Soner) is a source of knowledge and keeps you well informed throughout the journey. You will miss 3/4 of the trip seating in headphones. You will see some places but without any background you wouldn't know why those places are special. Visiting Akyaka itself is worth going, but do not seat on beach visit the city! Trips on Mondays have extra stop at local bazaar, bring Lyra and but same stuff as in Marmaris but cheaper

Beautiful Akyaka

Absolutely love this day but 1 hour is nowhere near long enough in Akyaka, definitely needed more time there.

Fun day trip

Soner is great guide, it was our second trip with him and we are very happy for both of the trips! We have nee to lovers road for a short photo stop, Akyaka 20 min boat trip and 1.5h city break, you can swim on beach or on the river, and Yuverlakcay for dinner, there's no rice so do order chips, and mountain river swim. We learnt a lat from Soner. Turkish culture, local history and more. Definitely worth booking Booking via Viator makes is soo easy!

Brilliant

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Unforgettable Day — Perfect Excursion! Sonny our guide was brilliant What an absolutely amazing day out from start to finish! This excursion exceeded every single expectation and I honestly can’t recommend it enough. Amazing trip on the boats seeing turtles and fish pure blush ocean one side pond lake over to start your trip The swings hanging right over the sparkling blue pool were such a magical, dreamlike experience — swinging out over the water with the sunshine glistening below was pure bliss. Then the waterfalls were stunningly beautiful, with crystal-clear cascades tables you can eat at and place your feet in the water and lush green surroundings that felt like paradise. We wandered through the vibrant bazaar markets — full of colour, atmosphere, and wonderful treasures to browse, with such a warm, friendly vibe everywhere we went. Visiting the pine honey farm shop was a lovely highlight too — learning about the bees and tasting the pure, delicious local honey was wonderful, And the food! Oh my goodness — the amazing meatballs were hands down the best we’ve ever tasted. So flavoursome, perfectly cooked, and absolutely delicious — we’d go back just for them alone! Every part of the day was wonderful, beautifully organised, and packed with incredible sights and experiences. If you’re thinking of booking this — do it! You won’t regret it. 💯✨
