“van arrived 20 minutes late. Drove to Akra hotel and had to wait there for over ab hour waiting for the other passengers and because driver didn’t speak English we weren’t told what was happening till 5 minutes before the other guests arrived. Finally got to the place and spent 20 minutes watching the tour leader and other tourists arguing with the guys about whether they had paid or not.”

The off roofing was great fun with water fights at every turn and some stunning scenery! Lunch was an all you can eat buffet of pasta, rice, chicken and if you wanted (vegetables) it was actually quite tasty!

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 41 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $70

Drive a guided buggy through dusty forest tracks near Antalya for about 1.5 hours, with hotel pickup, a helmet, safety briefing, and a short break.

“Questa escursione non é stato proprio il massimo. Ci aspettavamo molto di piú. Ci aspettavamo di esplorare i dintorni e vedere posti nuovi e ammirare delle viste mozzafiato come descritto nella descrizione dell´escursione. Ma se fotografare semplici montagne e alberi significano "un´esperienza indimenticabile" (??). Noi sotto questo termine capiamo altro e siamo sinceramente rimasti molto delusi e insoddisfatti. This excursion was not exactly the best. We expected much more. We expected to explore the surroundings and see new places and enjoy breathtaking views as described in the description of the excursion. But if photographing simple mountains and trees means "an unforgettable experience...”
