A great trip, with entertainment and action in a stunning setting.

We had a fantastic day trip, with a wonderful entertaining guide on our boat in beautiful nature. Everything also went smoothly through the provider (Side Tours Antalya), we had a few questions and were able to clarify them easily over the phone. Thanks again for that👍

Superb

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “The best outdoor adventure we’ve ever had!” Everything at Fun Rafting was top-notch. The staff were friendly, the equipment was well-maintained, and every activity—from rafting to quad biking—was so well coordinated. Muhammad was amazing, guiding us with patience and enthusiasm. We’ll definitely be coming back!

I’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Muhammad—he’ll be stoked to know he made your day. We really love what we do, and having guests like you makes it even better. Can't wait to see you again for the next round of fun! Stay awesome

Was quite okay

We were picked up late and then in a bus without windows, which was a bit annoying on the way as we were travelling at high speeds at times and the wind burned our eyes. The journey was generally very fast and aggressive. When we arrived, we had to wait for other people for about an hour. Then we were allowed to put on our protective clothing and then wait again. After that we were driven up the mountain to the starting point. The water was 12°C. Unfortunately the weather wasn't so good that day, which is why we were very cold, but we still had to walk through a river and were sometimes up to our necks in cold water. The tour in the water was a lot of fun and the guide was very funny and spoke good German. We drove on the water for about 2 hours and then we had something to eat and looked at the pictures. You could buy these for €20 and they were then sent by email. We still had fun.

Rafting, fab day out

We had a fantastic day, but a few pointers for improvement, generally around the organisation, it’s chaotic at the start, none of the clients know what is going on, although eventually everyone seems to get to their required activity. Shoes and gloves €10, phone case €10 available at the start. Food stop in the middle, €3 Fanta, €3 Doritos and you are told lunch would be 3 hours away, it was a further hour. Photo €5. So an excellent deal initially can turn into an expensive activity. Rafting was great for all ages, swimming and jumping excellent. Scenery along the way beautiful. Food at the end tasty and fresh. Changing facilities available. We were picked up around 10.30 and back by 4.30. Highly recommend this trip, just get your shoes and phone cover before you go, gloves we didn’t find necessary.

Kept waiting hours on end

If you are only planning to to rafting, don't expect to do a while day of rafting. You'll do exactly the same amount of rafting that everybody else does but you'll have to wait for everybody else to finish the other activities before bringing you back. So expect hours of waiting around. I recommend you just do the multiple activity day.

Do not book with IDEAL rafting

Ok. So here’s our honest review. The actual rafting is exactly what you hope for. A good guide who was fun and engaging, and a beautiful river with regular rapids that were enough to get the adrenaline going but not too much to make it scary. As a family of 5, with 19, 18 and 14yr old children, we all really enjoyed the ride. However, we would highly recommend booking through your rep at hotel and ask questions. We booked directly through TripAdvisor and saved £40 on the overall trip. Big mistake! We were picked up on time at 8:30am. But the driver drove so aggressively and dangerously I had to call out to him to please slow down. When we finally arrived at our destination (1hr) he spoke to me to ask why I asked him to slow down. I explained if he came to England with his family and I drove like that, I would expect him to be upset and angry. He did not agree and said he was a good driver! The worst bit is, he then sat and drank tea with his mates while we had to wait for 3 more minibuses to arrive before we go get into the raft. We started actually rafting at 12:30pm! After waiting over 2 hours for people to show up. So in summary, the rafting is brilliant but just be careful who you book with. This was IDEAL rafting and we would suggest staying clear as poorly organised. People in our hotel have used TUI etc and has a better organised trip with the same rafting experience.

Delight!

I want to thank Murat, the owner of the travel agency, for arranging the rafting tour for me in a wonderful way. I had a lot of fun and experiences! He can organize mixed activities on the same tour, I didn't have to do that, but the opportunity is nice. I recommend it. Got into a mixed group of Germans and Belarusians - it was fun;)))! Rafting videos are done on site quickly and with quality.
