Awful experience. Worst trip we’ve been on. We got on the boat where everyone including staff were smoking. We had our 7 month old baby. I asked for the smoking free areas and they looked at me strange. I couldn't believe that they didn’t have one and even in the food serving area staff were smoking. The fumes coming pff tje boat were just as bad! We literally sailed out of the green canyon into open seas did a u turn and stopped at a beach side for one swim not two as advertised. We returned onto the boat for lunch wich was nice but ruined by smokers around it. At 1pm we got off the boat and got onto a ridiculously hot over crowded mini bus gjat had no air con just big open windows dangerous with children as they could fall out!! We were on the bus with our 7 month old baby for 30-40mins to the waterfall for which we had to pay 4 euro pp extra and not stated on the advert. Very misleading. Following 20mins at the waterfall we were back on the mini bus struggling with heat heading to the market. It was difficult to understand the tour guide nothing was clear and it was chaotic. We couldn’t stay there long as we were so exhausted in the heat and the baby was struggling so we left with a taxi. Awful experience not enjoyable at all for us :( Not suitable for children unless your happy for them to inhale smoke and fumes and risk them suffocating in heat on the bus with big dangerous windows.
Dear Guest, First of all, we are sorry to hear about your negative experience. As you may know, the entrance fee for the waterfall is already stated as an extra in our tour program, and the price is clearly mentioned. In addition, since our boats are completely open-air, it is unfortunately not possible for us to impose a strict smoking ban on other guests. However, our staff do remind guests in order to make non-smokers more comfortable. We have taken note of your feedback to further improve our service. Your comments are very valuable to us.

Thank you for sharing your experience! 😊 We’re glad you had a fun trip and enjoyed the crew and team. Your kind words mean a lot, and we hope to see you again on another adventure soon!
minibus was a little late picking us up and the driver was very rude. we made our way to manavgat port entered what's like a medium size pirate ship style boat. The staff were friendly snd spoke all the languages to accommodate everyone on board. stopped at the beach which was nice, not much to say really. Thrn ate on the boat, cous cous, grilled chicken, salad & bread roll. no vegetarian or fish option although i stated on the booking. Moved on to return back to port to catch minibus. seemed a little disorganised if people don't listen. onto watetfall which is just that nothing fantastic and u cant go in the water, loads of shops selling the same but more expensive and finally the markets. Same same, very cheap but selling the same stuff. nice day out and thats it.
