Super nice trip. Very informative. We felt completely comfortable. The guide Cem always had a snappy joke on his lips and tried to answer all the questions that came up. Made everything great. The hours were well filled. The highlight was the cave. You go into the cave with a rubber boat and get information about the whole cave and the lake (in English). At lunchtime we went to a small but nice restaurant where you got plenty of food. We can only recommend everyone to do this tour.

That was great experience. We missed tour bus on the day but later we request to company for next day trip with same yesterday tickets. And they agree and we get trip next day with no extra charges. Great professional company. Thanks for hospitality.

Really nice, relaxing day out. Plenty of things offered to keep you occupied during the trip like swimming and jet skis, or just relax all day like we did. Food was great and staff were friendly. Great day out and value for money.

Amazing!! So much fun a must do!! But take a towel and something to put your phone in because the water fights are sooo good but you get drenched !

Very well organised, helpful, very good guide. Would definitely use this app again
