Jeep safari. You WILL get wet! Put everything you want to stay dry in the bags provided.
My wife went on a Jeep safari previously in another area of Turkey. She assumed this trip would be similar. It wasn’t…
The trip was the best part of the holiday. We had so much fun with the water guns. Although we’re almost pensioners, we both felt 12 again. My favourite part was when the Jeeps were running down the river and my wife was stood up pointing her water gun out of the roof shouting “Get them like Rambo” as she got absolutely soaked from the Jeep driving past our stationary Jeep.
The lunch was fantastic. The small restaurant by the waterfall was a perfect break from the fun.
They drove through places not normally accessed, showing the natural area and culture, with a swift stop at a Turkish roadside caffe for a taste of their delicious pomegranates.
Then a see cove to rest swim and dry off.
The final part was breathtaking. A long haul up a mountain to reveal a view over Dalyan and the Turtle beach.
Altogether the BEST trip of the holiday.
Not for the faint hearted. Definitely for those who have an inner child.
Many thanks to the team on our tour, Unal
Sahib and Ispartakus , who spoke very little English, but that didn’t matter.
We had a great and unforgettable trip and visited the most beautiful places great jeep safari. Thanks to Unal he was very funny and great group leader and Huseyin fantastic driver felt very safe while enjoying myself. Highly recommend….
Show more...We can't fault the service from Brilliant. We booked the jeep safari at £40.00 per head. We were advised to wear swimwear and appropriate footwear and that there would be plenty of water stops. (Not the kind I was thinking)
We got picked up at 9.20am as promised from the apartment we were staying at. We were then driven to Brilliant where we collected a few stragglers. We were all given a blue plastic bin-bag to ensure we kept our things dry. I recommend you ask for two. Within 20mins of setting off we were all wet through. Our guide Ulan was so much fun driving under watering holes, drenching us from the river by the bucket loads we got soaked SO many times. We did get r own back. Ulan took great pleasure in taking great pictures of all of us. We swam in the lake, had a very cold jacuzzi in a babbling river. The lunch stop was fabulous, it must of took them years to build, it wasn't what any of us had expected. After lunch you had free time to take a dip in the cold river, swing over the river and people watch. Some people were seated in the river at table and chairs having lunch!!!
The final viewing stop was over the Dalyan Delta the perfect end to a fantastic, and tiring day. Thank you Brilliant for a fantastic day out.
We'll certainly be back to do it all again.
Utterly disappointed by the service, the boat and the attitude. Booked the 12 island boat trip (which I had done previously with Queenie which was outstanding) and wanted to book again as my partner had never been. Why I fell for the sales pitch I don't know, I made it absolutely clear I wanted to book a large gullet but what we got was a tatty small gullet, nice captain and average lunch. There were 11 of us on the boat and all they had was 3 snorkels, one of which was broken and about 5 noodles. When we returned I went into their lovely showroom (great pictures on their screens but not what you'll get!) and requested some sort of refund. What a joke, he wouldn't even acknowledge the boat we had been on, constantly looking confused and pretending not to understand, he offered nothing, not even a polite sorry. Given what we paid this was appalling. We went with Captain Ali on a 2 deck boat and had a great time, enough masks for everyone and beautiful lunch. There are way too many other good companies, don't choose this one!!
Show more...We had a fantastic day to the mud baths (very busy. The trip across the lake was spectacular) seeing the rock tombs, and turtle beach (after stopping to buy blue crabs to eat or feed to the turtles. Lunch at Careta Caretta was delicious and we enjoyed a visit from their regular turtle, who apparently loves the figs when they ripen and fall into the water.
The day took a lot in but felt quite leisurely and relaxed - especially on the boat with a breeze to take the heat away. A great way to explore Dalyan .
A big thanks to our guide Gabriel who was lovely company and very knowledgeable.
Booked the mud baths and turtle beach tour for a family of 4, great day was had by all. Mud bath was good fun, then headed for lunch before travelling on to turtle beach which was beautiful and even managed to see some turtle's which was the highlight of the day. Everyone was great and very friendly especially Gabriel our guide, would highly recommend 😊
Show more...We had a fantastic day on the jeep safari. Unal, our driver was hilarious, ensuring that we had a memorable day. We visited plenty of picturesque sights.
Be prepared to get extremely wet throughout the day with the water gun fights and various other surprises..
My only negative points are to be careful of unexpected charges which were not mentioned at booking i.e water guns, zip line, sun beds for 1 hr extortionate prices.
Other than that we had a fun filled, unforgettable day. Thank you to Brilliant Tours.
Booked 2 tours from Dalyan, my 83 yr old mum and I were taken by car to the Saklikent Gorge and Ancient City of Tlos by Gabriel. Lovely day with a lovely driver. Our second trip was to Fethiya then to Oludeniz to go up the mountain in a cable car, again we were taken by our driver Gabriel who was so kind and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Would 100% recommend Brilliant Tours
Show more...The best way to describe our Jeep safari tour is that it was like being on the log flume ride at a theme park! Lots of fun (water fights, random water hosings)so great for kids and fun-loving teens. We got taken off the beaten track to see some beauty spots you'd never know about otherwise (the ice river!). Beautiful swimming locations, lovely lunch in a location that had a bit of a Thailand vibe about it (swings over the pool). Unal our main guide and driver was brillenthusiastic, funny and attentive. Totally recommend this tour if you want to see more of the area in a fun way, if you're up for a laugh and don't mind/enjoy getting wet!

This guy is professional and fair, and we felt very safe hiring a car from him. (That cannot be said for all the car hire an places in town). The car was cleaned and delivered to our hotel. We had a lovely day driving around the lake, and the car was filled with petrol so we did not have to worry.
Show more...There are some trips from the company that I was very interested in, but because it was end of season and covid, not enough people to fill the boats. Maybe next time !
