The reservation process was very easy, especially thanks to Eric from the guest relations department, who explained the tour thoroughly. It was a great day out with the kids, and they absolutely loved it. The water fight was the highlight of the day, along with the amazing scenery. I would recommend it to anyone. My kids called it the best day in Turkey.

Great tour, so much fun, and our driver was terrific. Be prepared to get soaking wet, so bring your A-game for the water gun fight and extra clothes. Everything was well-planned, and they are pros at this. Our guide/photographer was really funny and kind.Also, thank you, Eric. 5 stars from us!

The trip was great, and the water fight was a lot of fun. Eric organized everything really well, and we had no problems whatsoever during the whole trip. I would definitely consider going again.

Helpful? Yes

Great family adventure in a beautiful setting with mountains and ice-cold rivers to jump into. The giant water fight on the jeeps was a blast and felt safe, with seat belts and the option to stay seated if you didn’t want to stand.Just be cautious with the extra sales along the way—make sure to ask how much before accepting anything (this isn't the operator's fault, but rather the vendors at each stop).Overall, we had a really positive experience and will definitely choose this company again if we return next year.

Helpful? Yes

Great experience! We had so much fun from the very first minute and really enjoyed the jeep safari. The drivers and the rest of the crew were very friendly, and the lunch at the end of the tour was delicious.

Thank you for a wonderful time! I was with three children, ages 17, 13, and 7, and all of them were thrilled. So many emotions and memories were made. We’ll definitely repeat it when we come back. Thank you, it was unforgettable.

Helpful? Yes

An excellent day out, full of excitement and great fun. It's perfect for those who love an adrenaline-filled activity. My children, aged 8 and 11, absolutely loved it! The driver was brilliant, making it a fun-filled day. Lunch was included at a beautiful waterfall spot, and the food was lovely.

Helpful? Yes

A fantastic day out with so much fun, including a stop at the waterpark, the lady dancing Gangnam Style, water fights, and lunch. It was the highlight of our holiday in Alanya and such great value for money. I highly recommend everyone to do this—wear swimwear and bring water pistols!

Helpful? Yes

It was a fab day out! The only negative was the driver, who drove dangerously on the way back to the hotel. We almost crashed three times, cutting in front of coaches, and we were nervous wrecks by the end. It's a shame because the rest of the day was lovely. The mountains, a few stops at local places, and lunch at a beautiful clean pool with slides were perfect ways to finish the day. The water fights were fantastic, and the hosts were really funny. The video and pictures of the whole day were really cheap, only about 20 euros for everything!

Helpful? Yes

It was an amazing day, but I’m giving it 3 stars mainly because of the drivers. Both drivers, from pick-up to drop-off, were very rude and definitely need to learn some manners. Not to mention their very bad driving—there was no consideration for the kids in the back. Please choose your drivers carefully.

Helpful? Yes

As soon as we booked the trip online, Mete reached out to confirm the booking and informed us that pick-up would be confirmed by the end of the day. This happened, and pick-up by Hektor was on time the next morning. We headed up into the hills, stopping at scenic spots for photographs above Alanya, visiting the beautiful river and waterfalls, and driving through orange, banana, and avocado groves. It was fascinating to see the town and surrounding area, and the water bombing between Land Rovers on the jeep safari made it fun for everyone. We also visited caves, had fruit refreshments, and enjoyed lunch at a swimming pool where we could dive into the river. It was a full day with a great driver and guide, offering very good value for money. I would highly recommend this trip. Tips: take your swimming gear, towels, water, sun hat, and sunscreen with you.

Helpful? Yes

This trip was such a great experience! We loved every second of it, and it was so much fun.Our children said it was the best day ever, and we would definitely do it again.We had the chance to swim in the pools during lunch, and there was a lovely stop at a traditional Turkish shop, where they provided fruit, and local produce was available for purchase.Just a note, drinks and chips are not included at lunch, but I suppose that’s how they make a little extra on the side.

Helpful? Yes

Amazing service from everyone involved. We were well taken care of throughout the trip, and it was an absolute bargain. I can’t say enough nice things about the overall experience. 5 stars!

Helpful? Yes

The driver was punctual and on time, and we had a really fun day out with lots of stops for refreshments and toilet breaks. There were light snacks and refreshments included at times. The lunch was really nice and plentiful. All in all, it was an amazing day out.

I had an incredible Jeep Safari experience with this company from start to finish. The stops at Dim River and Dim Cave were both beautiful, the food served was delicious, and our driver was punctual and friendly. Fun music played throughout the journey, setting a fantastic vibe! We made frequent stops to enjoy the stunning views and take pictures of the mountains. I highly recommend this adventure for a memorable day.

Helpful? Yes

Let me start by saying we didn’t really know what we were in for with this trip, but it turned out to be amazing! The ride up into the mountains was lovely, but oh my, what a day we had. Booking was very easy through WhatsApp, and Acelya was quick to respond to my questions and provided clear answers. We were picked up at our hotel at 8:30, made our way to a few other hotels to pick up other guests, and then headed for a short drive to the meet-up point where we joined 4 other jeeps.Then the fun began! I won’t give away too much, but definitely wear swimwear, don’t bring too much stuff, and make sure to buy a water gun (we rented one from the guide for €5).We had an absolute blast driving through the mountains, enjoyed a lovely lunch included in the price, and had 2 hours of chill time.All in all, it was one of the best days we’ve had! 5 stars and would definitely recommend it.

Helpful? Yes

So much fun was had by my family on this tour. It was an adventurous thrill with beautiful views and lovely people—so much fun! I will definitely do this again.

I booked the safari jeep tour with Excursion Mania through their WhatsApp with Hande. She was very helpful, answered all my queries brilliantly, and booked the tour for my family. The tour was amazing! My husband thought the kids, aged 10, 8, and 7, might get bored during the journey, but surprisingly, they didn't at all. We all had fun—it’s great for all ages. Our driver, Ahmed, was fantastic. The water gun battle was an excellent experience. Highly recommended! I’ll give them 5 stars and will definitely book with them again in the future.

Great fun day! The only downside was the short time spent in each area—I would have loved another hour or more at the swimming pool. I saw a review mentioning the water was dirty, but I found it crystal clear, although really, really cold! I would fully recommend this trip.

Helpful? Yes

The tour guides were absolutely great! They really made the trip with lots of fun and great humor. The surroundings were lovely as well.

Helpful? Yes

I’m sorry to hear that your experience didn't meet expectations. It sounds like the trip didn’t offer the cultural experience you were hoping for. Starting with the quick photo stop at the top of the mountain and the rush into the jeeps was not ideal. The visit to the Turkish village was a nice touch, but things seemed to go downhill from there, with stops mainly at restaurants offering food and dirty swimming pools with slides. The constant push to buy video footage for €20 was frustrating, and the lack of cultural experiences left you disappointed.With so much time spent at two restaurants and a total of five hours, it seems more like a family-oriented trip with a focus on selling extras than a cultural tour. I can understand why you felt let down, especially with the misleading "6 in 1" title. It’s definitely something to keep in mind if you’re looking for a more cultural experience.

Helpful? Yes

Overall, our recent jeep safari experience was a worthwhile adventure, though I’ve rated it 3/5 based on a few notable aspects. Here’s a structured review to help potential participants make the most of this experience:Misleading Imagery: It’s important to note that while promotional materials might show jeeps in water, the majority of the safari takes place on dry terrain. The water-themed images don't accurately represent the actual journey. Water Fights and Attire: The water fights, which are a fun part of the experience, start as soon as the groups gather. To fully enjoy these interactions, consider wearing swimsuits and bringing waterproof bags for your belongings. Timing of Water Fights: The water fights, while fun, happen early in the morning, shortly after sunrise. It might be more enjoyable if they were scheduled during warmer hours of the day.Altered Itinerary: Our tour had a modified itinerary compared to what was initially described. The Taurus mountain, which was supposed to be the last stop, was the first. There was no prior explanation for this change, which left us surprised.Lack of Introduction: The tour lacked an introduction before departure. We were quickly asked to re-enter the jeeps with little context, and then a surprise water attack came from a neighboring vehicle.Positive Elements: On a positive note, the lunch was better than expected based on previous images. Both stops on the tour (except Dim Cave) accepted card payments, which was convenient. However, having cash on hand is recommended for purchasing unique items from village traders.Driver and Language: Our driver was friendly and spoke understandable English, which added to the experience. Remember to set aside some cash for tipping if your driver has made a positive contribution.In summary, our jeep safari journey provided enjoyable moments, but certain factors affected the overall experience. By addressing these points, future participants can be better prepared for the adventure.Bonus tip: If you're not in a white jeep, avoid paying for photos and videos unless you're certain you made it into the pictures.

What a fantastic day! I even caught my teenage son enjoying the ride. Unlike many other trips, there was no hard sell to buy upgrades or extras—just fun driving around in the mountains. Bring yourself a water pistol (or bigger), and the day gets even better! You can buy one from them if needed.There’s no shade in the jeeps, so make sure to bring a hat and sun cream, and you’ll be fine. The Dim River is lovely and cool, as is the cave (an extra £5 if you want to go down a lot of steps into a beautiful, cool cave). The food was really nice; we had the chicken.I highly recommend this day, and don’t forget to bring a water pistol—don’t worry, they supply the water! You don’t have to go into the mosque, jump in the river, or buy things from the market. You can simply enjoy the scenery and the fun of driving around in an open-top jeep. Money well spent!

Helpful? Yes

The Jeep Safari in Alanya is a full-day tour, perfect for couples looking to spend the day out. Please note there is a language barrier, so it's a good idea to have your trip details printed to show the driver.

The best trip ever!!! From water fights to visiting an old Turkish town, beautiful scenery, great food, exploring caves, and seeing a waterfall, everything was amazing. The atmosphere was fantastic, and our driver was the BEST. Make sure you tip these guys—they truly deserve it!

Helpful? Yes

Incredible trip, experiencing the true Turkish mountains! It was well-organized and so much fun. I’ve never experienced anything like standing up in a jeep (in a safe way) ????.

Helpful? Yes

The safari was a lot of fun! The drivers were kind and seemed very professional. The views of the mountains were awesome, and the food was decent. In my opinion, the tour is especially fun for kids. The drivers play loud music and encourage water gun fights between vehicles, so it’s almost impossible to stay dry, even off-season when it's not as hot outside. It can get a bit chilly, especially if you're sitting at the back of the jeep. Be sure to bring a change of clothes and towels.There are many stops at different places. When you arrive at the canyon, you can choose whether to have two hours for lunch or visit the cave for an hour and spend one hour in the canyon. We went to the cave and enjoyed it a lot.I would definitely recommend the safari!

Helpful? Yes

I would recommend this experience 1000%! The views were absolutely amazing, unlike anything I've ever seen before. I absolutely loved the trail to the waterfall. Our tour guides, two brothers, were incredible so entertaining and full of interesting fun facts that made our experience even more enjoyable.

Helpful? Yes

Our guide was friendly and entertaining. The cave and the canyon were worth visiting, and the lunch was well-cooked and tasty. However, the 'safari' consisted of driving along surfaced roads in a Land Rover, rather than on dirt tracks as shown in the advertising photos. We also didn't visit the Nomad House or the mosque, which might have been due to our tour being out of season. It might be worth adjusting the advertising to reflect what’s available during the off-season.

Helpful? Yes

The tour was very fun! The tour guide was friendly and entertaining. The kids especially enjoyed the water fight with the other jeeps.

This tour is not suitable for young children or people who have difficulty holding on. At times, it felt like a roller coaster, with palpable adrenaline. Loud music played in the car, adding to the excitement.

We booked the jeep tour the day before, with hotel pick-up and drop-off included in the price. We were picked up at 9:00, met with the other jeeps, and headed out. The drivers were excellent, and we stood up most of the time in the jeep, taking lots of pictures of the beautiful nature. We visited two places up in the mountains: one had a small market and café where we could buy drinks or food, and we were offered Turkish bread and Turkish coffee to try. At the next stop, we had the chance to swim and bathe under waterfalls, use water slides, or simply relax before continuing the tour. Afterward, we went to the lunch stop, which was included in the trip. The food was excellent, and there was a pool with slides for the kids. The stop here was supposed to be two hours. During this time, you could pay about 100 lira to visit some stalactite caves. We chose to go, and it was an amazing experience. It took about an hour of driving to get there, and then we returned to the water park for the last hour before heading back to the hotel.This experience, along with the guide, was really fun. It was definitely worth the money!

Helpful? Yes

Beautiful place in Passo Rolle, with stunning views of the Pale di San Martino. The hotel was well-managed, and the owner, Rocco, is a smart and kind person, always available to offer advice on the best routes to take.

Helpful? Yes

The tour was very well organized. You’re picked up at your hotel and dropped off again. The journey starts with some explanations at a location, where you can also buy a water pistol (€7.50), which is definitely worth the price—you’ll see why during the ride.There’s a stop at the Dim River, with water that’s just 3 degrees, and several other stops along the way, including visits with locals where you can buy souvenirs and grab a bite to eat. At the end, you stop in the mountains for a delicious meal, which is also included in the price!The only downside was that we had booked a jeep safari but ended up in an open van. However, overall, I highly recommend this experience!

Helpful? Yes

It was a good and exciting trip! However, there was a water fight between the different jeeps, which wasn’t mentioned in the experience description. That part wasn’t really to our taste, but we made the most of it.

Helpful? Yes

It was really a fun trip! We were entertained from start to finish. There were probably 15-20 jeeps driving together, with loud music and water fights during the ride, which definitely helped set the mood. The views were beautiful, and we had a dip in the cold springs, along with a visit to the Dim Cafe (€4 extra per person). I can definitely recommend the trip, but it's not ideal for families with very young children.

Helpful? Yes

The trip started off great when we were picked up from the hotel in a jeep. During the trip there were stops at beautiful viewpoints that you wouldn't find anywhere else. Swimming breaks in the middle of the mountains were wonderful for refreshing yourself. The water fights between all the jeeps during the trip were also fun, especially as there was always great music on board. The only downside was the stop for food, it was just too long. We would do it again anytime and I can only say that everyone who is in Side, Alanya etc. should do this tour.

Helpful? Yes

The day started around 9ish, and I was the last to be picked up. Everyone in the jeep was really nice and friendly, which is always a concern when doing excursions alone.We first met the other jeeps at a garage, then headed to another meeting point where you could purchase super soakers. After that, we headed into the mountains. Each jeep had 3 massive water containers, and it didn’t take long before we were all shooting water at each other.We made a stop at a picturesque spot for drinks and to dry off a bit, then continued towards the old house, where you could have more drinks or try traditional bread, alongside another water soaking.Next, we stopped for lunch at a riverside location, had a beer, and could even swim. Afterward, we headed back to the resort.I can honestly say I’ve never laughed so much. The experience was totally enjoyable from start to finish. I would highly recommend it!.

Helpful? Yes

This tour was so much more fun than expected, and we got excellent value for the price. There was a water fight with the other jeeps every time we were driving, making it even more enjoyable. I recommend buying water guns, as it makes the trip so much more fun. Be prepared to get soaked! The entrance to the cave was an extra 200 TRL, but it was worth seeing. We also swam in the cold river at two different locations. The crew was great at creating a fun atmosphere throughout the entire day.

Great fun overall, with 5 hours packed with excitement! The water fights with the other jeeps were a great laugh, but be prepared to get very wet! The free included meal was decent, though not particularly special or plentiful.

There were some bargains if you're interested, though!
