For a group of nine we booked Rafting+ quad buggy safari activity with this company through Halil Kaplan and Dallas Rafting. Nothing turned out as promised by the agent, the Rafting was half the length of the promised duration, as they took us for the Buggy safari half way through (it was supposed to be at the end) and once we got to the safari place they would only give us 5 buggies when we had paid for 8!! We asked the local guys to call the agent but he just ignored us and then tried to charge us extra for goggles and a bandana, again this was supposed to be included in the original cost. We refused to partake in the quad safari and just waited around in the heat for two hours for the pickup transport back. I contacted the agent he accepted the shortcomings and all he could offer was a discount if we booked another activity and refused to refund part of the cost. Not only did that spoil a valuable day of our holiday but left us with a foul mood for rest of the stay..... Avoid these guys!!

We did the rafting trip today and had such a good day. From the beginning organising the trip via Trip Advisor was easy, we booked and paid via the app. We then received regular communication from the organiser and pick up was as advised. The rafting was longer than expected and was thoroughly enjoyed by 2 adults and 2 teenagers. Lunch at the end was good and also suited myself being a vegetarian too. Would love to do the trip again if we are ever back in Side and would recommend Alya Travel too, it was easy to book with her and well organised. This trip will be a lovely menory for us.

Kekova could be renamed heaven. It is where nature unites with history. Its turquoise waters are adorned by countless coves and bays. Kekova includes Ucagiz (formerly Theimussa) village on the coastline, Kalekoy (Simena) village with its famous fortress, and Kekova Island that stretches out to the historical sunken city across from Kalekoy. Established upon the ancient remains of Simena within the Kekova region, Kalekoy is only accessible by boat. Hosting a Crusader fortress, Kalekoy’s cozy narrow streets invite you to discover this beautiful place. Our guests on the Kas Kekova boat trip can visit this adorable town and shouldn’t miss trying its famous peach ice cream!

Thank you U can travel for this amazing day. I am single traveler and your stuff didn't make me feel that i am alone. Tazi canyon and places nearby were very beautiful and this agency helped me to see everything. Although i didn't book rafting but i was also proposed to try it so just in case take swimming suite with you even if you didn't plan to swim. Group was only 4 people and we were treated like VIP customers. Nice fresh food was also provided. I recommend ????

I booked this tour as a private tour and I am absolutely thrilled. Already at the pick-up you feel like a VIP because of the spacious vehicle. The catering is fully included and very good despite current legal restrictions. Great importance is attached to hygiene measures for pandemic prevention without having to have any significant restrictions on the experience. The guide speaks perfect German. Apart from that, he also speaks several other languages fluently. He really has an extensive expertise. You can have an excellent conversation about the cultures, mythologies as well as art. Although several sites are visited that are a bit far from each other, one is at the sights most of the time. The ancient buildings are fascinating and it is an indescribable feeling to stand in the middle of an ancient trade route while the guide describes life and events there at that time. At least as impressive are the waterfalls surrounded by nature and a park that invites you to explore. For cultural tourists, this tour is without a doubt a must.
