Wow! What a day to end our holiday in Turkey. The experience was sensational, our driver Adam gave us the experience of a lifetime. Jonny Cash I love you. What an amazing happy man, made us all feel so welcome and we enjoyed every moment with you. How can we forget spider man, you’re awesome. You guys made our last day in Turkey so special. An experience we will never forget ❤️
Thank you for your review. We hope to welcome you back again soon.
It was by far the best event I have ever experienced on a vacation. From the team to the program and the boss Jonny Cash. What those guys pull off every day is truly with heart and soul in those temperatures. I was approached on the beach by a very nice promoter, and for 30 euros you cannot do better. I recommend it to anyone who has the chance to do it I wanna do this again. Great team and great boss. Great drivers. Adam was really professional with a lot of humor 7/27/2026 Seher Beach Resort & Spa Tina, David, Lukas and Amelie

We booked our trip via Beach boys company based on beach bar of Vox Maris resort. €35 euros each for hotel pick up at 9am then headed to Manavgat waterfalls - small entrance fee of €1.50 per person but worth every penny. Selection of restaurants and shops inside. We then went to Green canyon which was stunning. Throughout our trip we had water fights with the 2 other jeeps on our trip. Kept us cool! Also drove through foam and got cooled down by hopepipe at couple of areas along the way so be prepared to get soaked. We then stopped off for boat trip of around 30 mins and then the option to swim in the lake for around 30 mins before heading for dinner. This included chicken kebabs, rice, salad and fresh bread. Drinks an optional extra. Also trip to the zoo for cost of €5 entrance and €10 for photo with lion cub. We chose to wait in the cafe area. There is also option to purchase memory stick of the day at cost of €35 including drone footage. We were dropped back at our hotel around 4.30pm. Overall an exhilarating day with lots of fun along the way

They put the F in FUN! Lovely bunch at Discovery. From the moment you get picked up to the moment you are dropped off. Discovery make sure you have a good time. A big thanks to Axl my driver who had such a great taste in music and very much the gentleman. Spider full of energy to make sure good pics are taken. Jonquil (not sure how you spell it) very funny tour guide. Other drivers were great I would definitely use them again for any further trips.
Thank you for your review. We hope to welcome you back again soon.
Easy to book with Tripadvisor. Johnny Cash the tour guide was amazing. Very friendly, explained everything very clearly and was a fun guide to have around. Our driver Joseph was awesome. Very funny and great driving skills. Made the trip special and exciting. And then the Acrobat Miki, a daredevil on the cars, I won't spoil the stunts he does but go see for yourself. Also Miki very friendly with all the kids. The safari tour was amazing, it show how beautiful turkey is. I want to thank the whole crew for this very special tour.
Thank you for your review. We hope to welcome you back again soon.
Been on this trip before and it’s the best fun trip to do but unfortunately this time the weather wasn’t great to it did spoil it a little but you can’t do anything about that so pick a nice warm day
Thank you for your review. We hope to welcome you back again soon.
Me and my family went on this jeep tour and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The canyon was a gorgeous sight and we enjoyed being driven around in the jeep. Lunch was also quite nice. The tour drivers also gave us a lot of information about the sites we visited and kept us entertained throughout. Just be aware that entrance to the waterfall only accepts card (not sure if this is all year round, but it was when we went), which we did not know about before.
Thank you for your review. We hope to see you again soon
The guy who drove the jeep (he called himself Alibaba) did a great job. Was friendly, explained everything and drove well. Lunch was well arranged. To our great surprise there was also a boat trip on a party boat in the reservoir in the package, not really an addition for us, but for many miss nice. All in all a very nice experience, Alibaba is a good guy!
