Had an awesome day, such a rush! Yusuf was cool and guided us well, even when we got a bit lost on the buggy. Rafting afterward was perfect. Super quick but totally worth it. Definitely do it if you want fun and excitement in one day.

The day was packed with fun, driving through rough paths and then rafting the river. Serdar was very helpful and kept us safe. It could have been better organized but still a great way to spend the day.

The day was OK but felt a bit rushed. The BUGGY part was fun but the rafting section seemed short. Instructor Ali was nice but seemed a bit overwhelmed handling everything alone. Not bad but expected a bit more organization.

Ok not bad, the buggy was fun but too fast in some parts, and the water activity was kinda boring honestly. Serdar was helping a lot but one person cant do it all. Would recommend if you have extra time but not the best I’ve done.
