Cadianda Tours

Fantastic day out . Be prepared to get very wet. Lots of water fighting in between visiting some lovely places . Some activities cost a little add on fee so take some cash . Dinner included which was fab. The drivers/guides were fantastic fun , joined in with the banter and also gave great info . From being picked up in the morning to being dropped off at night we were well looked after . Top marks!!

We were picked up from our hotel in Ölüdeniz at 8am. Then taken to a drop off point were we could buy / rent the water guns and other essentials for the trip.

Once we were put into our groups in the jeeps Charlie our tour guide explained what to expect and was so friendly and funny throughout the day.

The whole team were great and there was a photographer that was taking photos that you could buy at the end of the trip. Everyone was so friendly!

We started off at Tlos Ruins, then to Yaka Gizli Vado. After we headed to the saklikent gorge were we had a lovely lunch. Then we went rafting which was great fun and amazing views. Then we headed to the mud bath and finally went to gizlikent şelalesi for the waterfall!

We were back at the hotel just after 5pm. The whole day was brilliant and great fun. I’d totally recommend this trip. The team that looked after us were brilliant and we have a great day!

Thank you to Charlie & the team :-)

We wanted to visit the gorge but the day we wanted wasn't available on the group tours. We were offered a private vehicle with a driver at a really good price. We were advised we could have the driver for the day and go gorge and other places if we wanted. Which we did. I will say the driver we had didn't speak any English but this really wasn't a problem. At each place the driver found somebody to explain everything in English and check if we needed anything. He was a pleasant man and made us feel very welcome all day. Highly recommend this company. We booked at short notice and the manager was very helpful.

One of our favourite excursions in Turkey for this area. Had an amazing day with baby animal keep safari. The water fights and pictures were amazing and a fairly cheap price. The overall trip was fairly priced, including free lunch which was good. So glad we booked with these guys instead of doing it by ourselves as we had so much fun and we managed to stop at many amazing sites. Lovely staff, very funny and welcoming.

We had a brilliant day with “baby animal” jeep safari. Not had so much fun on a day out, particularly the water fights. Our party all acted like kids again.
The stops were great with rafting down the river in tubes, two zip lines a mud bath and a visit to a waterfall.
The guides were excellent.
Highly recommend 👍

My boyfriend & I booked a holiday to turkey and were recommended to book all our activities with Cadianda, so we did. We booked the turkish bath, horse riding, jeep safari, and the water park all for £100 which was around 400TL.
We mentioned to the sales rep that we were really interested in the turkish bath & he insisted that we do it straight away, and rang someone to come and pick us up literally within minutes. We got to the Ocean Blue hotel, where we had a 20 minute bubble massage, face masks, and also had the use of the Sauna! Which was really good! But unfortunately it all went down hill from here, the day after this we had the turkish bath we had the horse riding, which was actually one of the scariest experiences of our lives.
Our driver was 45 minutes late but this was no fault of his own, it was the sales rep's fault for forgetting to tell him to pick us up. We had to get our hotel manager to ring the sales rep at Cadianda to remind him we were still waiting to be picked up. Eventually we were picked up to go to our Horse Riding. When we got to the place there was literally nothing but a shack and no one could understand a word we were saying. The man asked us if we had ever rode a horse before and we both said no, so from that we thought we would of got some sort of training but we were kind of shocked at how clueless these people were. The man brought the horses to us, and we got on the horses and we were told by some turkish woman to pull left and right to steer the horses and that was it. We were even more shocked to see that literally a 10 year old boy was leading us on a horse in front. This boy was far too young.

We got about 5 minutes into the horse ride and my horse saw a snake, and before i knew it, the horse was running in the wrong direction at full blown speed, and for someone who had never rode a horse before this was actually terrifying. I literally flung my self off my horse, luckily i came away with a few bloody scratches to my leg. But then as i was on the floor my boyfriends horse nearly trampled on me and before i knew it, his horse was running even faster than mine did, my boyfriend had to throw himself off the horse as well. The little lad who was leading us was screaming his head off in turkish, clearly in shock. The boy was too young and too inexperienced to be dealing with something like this. But we know this wasn't his fault. My boyfriend suffered serious injuries to his back and wrist, his back was slit open due to the way he had to jump off the horse and he sprained his wrist. I couldn't believe this experience. As we both got back to our feet we were asked if we would like to get back on the horses of course we said no. We got picked up by someone living close by and taken back to our hotel. We weren't given any treatment, even though my boyfriends back was dripping in blood and my leg was bleeding. I couldn't believe this had happened. We got back to our hotel and were treated immediately. We later went back to the Cadianda rep and told him what had happened and showed him the evidence. He didn't even apologise he kind of shrugged his shoulders and turned a blind eye and said there was nothing that could of changed this. Maybe if there was safety training and we weren't being led by a young boy.
We were actually disgusted the way he took advantage because we are both young, he even referred to us as 'kids' when we were booking the activities, which we thought was so unprofessional for someone in that line of work (my boyfriend is 19 and i am 18.) We explained to him that we were reconsidering doing the other activities which were the following week, because my boyfriend maybe unable to do them, but he told us we might as well because we wouldn't be getting our money back. We just walked away at this point.
Every other activity we booked we were picked up late by at least 40 minutes! I am never booking with this man again! I am actually disgusted and couldn't believe it! This put a downer on our holiday as we had to take precautions about everything we did and my boyfriend was in pain the rest of the holiday.

My friend and I went on Jeep Safari with Cadianda on 5 June 2015 and had a really great day. I’ve visited Turkey many times before and have also been on several Jeep Safaris with different companies. This one was very similar with visits to Yaka Park, Sakklikent and the mud baths as well as lots of water fighting along the way.

Although on the day we attended almost all the guests were Turkish speakers, the group photographer travelling in our jeep, Batu, ensured we knew exactly what was going on and was the perfect interpreter for us English speakers. We also got some great photos from the day to share with our friends.

If you haven’t seen much of Turkey, I’d really recommend a jeep safari as a great way to get out and see the countryside. The scenery is great and seeing it from an open air jeep is the best way.

We were advised by friends to go on the jeep safari but were disappointed with the whole day. Firstly the jeeps broke down on three separate occasions. We were at one point towing the other jeep using some thin rope - very dangerous for both sets of travellers. We ended up waiting for nearly an hour for a replacement jeep to turn up. The drivers were very erratic and a few of us were injured after the day (bad backs etc). Also due to the seat configuration, couldn't sit next to my friend which was annoying. Were informed the whole day was included, no extras but then found out it wasn't so had to pay extra. The photographer kept insisting you posed for him in very cringey poses and then sold us the cd for a ridiculously expensive price at the end (we wanted to buy it just for the few mud bath pics but he said we had to buy the whole cd). He had also labelled the CDs with Turkish words. On returning to the UK and using Google translate, found out ours was labelled "fat girls" totally unacceptable and degrading. The pathera beach was awful! The beaches back home in Wales are a 1000% nicer - maybe not as hot though ;-) the only reason we went was for the mud baths and water fight afterwards. Mud baths were very good to be honest. However, no water fight afterwards. Just a lovely rinse off using a freezing hose pipe. All in all, there looked to be better tours about with far nicer jeeps.

Best day of our holiday by far! So much fun all day long! Me my partner and parents spent 10 days in hisaronu and this was the highlight. I'm 27 and partner is 22, my parents are 56 and 59, we were told that it may be more fun for us than them because of the water fights but they both enjoyed it as much as we did(possibly even more). Only thing I would change is having less time at the first gorge stop and more at the second but other than that the day was faultless. Baby animal was our driver and was a great laugh all day. Happy to get involved in the mud baths, never once felt unsafe with him at the wheel either. Photographer on the day was great aswell and produced great pics for us to take home at a very good price. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a laugh whilst seeing some great sites aswell.

The two of us went on Jeep Safari with Cadianda Tours on June 5th 2015.
We had a real good time, but I would suggest everyone who doesn’t want to get wet to bring an umbrella! It was my first time in Turkey and I haven’t seen much before, so for me it was a great adventure and a good possibility to get a first impression of the area. Our Jeep carried almost just Turkish speakers, but even though we had a great time with all of them, especially because the photographer made sure that we were able to feel complete comfortable (by translating all day long) and of course with some great pics from that day.
We’ve visited the Yaka Park, Sakklikent (which was awesome and all alone worth the trip) were we’d have had the possibility to ride down the river with a boat ring and last but not least the mud baths (I didn’t like that one that much).

All in all the trip was just great and we had a fun time. I’d definitely do it again as soon as I’m back in Turkey.
