While in Fethiye, here are other experiences we've covered

The Pickup and Transportation

The tour starts with hotel pickups from six different locations in Fethiye, making it quite convenient whether you’re staying centrally or nearby. The vehicles used are open-top Land Rover jeeps, which are perfect for soaking in the scenery but also mean you should come prepared with sunscreen, a hat, and a change of clothes. Our impression is that the drive itself is part of the fun — zipping along forest tracks with the wind in your hair, and perhaps some water splashing from the water fights.

Gizlikent Waterfall and Zipline Fun

Your first stop is the Gizlikent Waterfall, which involves a short 30-minute walk through lush surroundings. It’s a popular spot, and many reviews mention the enjoyable hike and the opportunity to snap some great photos. If you’re feeling adventurous, there’s an optional zipline (at extra cost), which many guests say adds an adrenaline kick. The waterfall itself is scenic, and some visitors comment that the water is refreshingly cool — perfect after a warm drive.

The tour’s organizers are clear about the water fights — they happen throughout, so be ready to get wet and have fun. It’s a playful way to cool off and connect with fellow travelers. Some reviews note that water sprays on other vehicles are forbidden, so keep it friendly.

Lunch and Relaxation

Next up is the buffet lunch, which offers a good variety — choices include chicken, trout, and vegetarian options like omelets and salads. It’s a nice break in the day, giving everyone a chance to refuel before the next adventure. The setting is usually relaxed, with regional foods and the chance to chat with fellow travelers.

Saklikent Canyon Exploration

The highlight for many is the Saklikent Canyon. You’ll pay the entrance fee (with some discounts available), then enjoy a 90-minute hike through the canyon. The scenery is dramatic — steep, rocky walls and rushing waters create a rugged yet beautiful environment. The canyon is a popular spot for rafting, which is offered as an optional extra, and many guests find it an exciting way to experience the river’s power. Some reviews mention that the guided walk is engaging, with plenty of photo-worthy moments.

If you’re not into water sports, the canyon walk itself is rewarding enough. Keep in mind that the trails can be dusty and uneven, so wear comfortable, quick-drying clothes. The canyon’s natural beauty makes it a real highlight, and many travelers appreciate the chance to be active and immersed in nature.

Additional Activities and Tips

What to Keep in Mind

While this tour offers a lot of fun, it’s not suited for everyone. Pregnant women, those with mobility issues, or guests with a fear of water might want to consider other options. The open-top jeeps are great for scenic enjoyment but aren’t the best for those sensitive to dust or loud noises. Also, since the tour is during the summer, be prepared for hot weather and bring plenty of water.

Price and Value

Considering the entire day packed with transportation, activities, lunch, and photos, it’s a fair deal for travelers wanting an adventure-filled outing. The optional extras like ziplining and rafting are extra costs but add a layer of excitement if you’re into adrenaline. For many, the value lies in the combination of scenic exploration, active fun, and relaxing mud treatments.

Who Is This Tour Best For?

This experience is perfect for travelers who want an active day outdoors, enjoy scenery and nature, and don’t mind getting wet and dusty. It’s a good pick for older kids and teens who enjoy adventure, though not suitable for very young children or those with mobility concerns. If you’re after a more relaxed sightseeing experience, this might feel a bit intense. But if you love a day of playful exploration with friends or family, this could be just right.
