Manavgat Waterfall

Very nice place to take a rest. The waterfall is very beautiful and whole place is very refreshing espcially in hot Turkish summer. You can cool yourself in clean water, buy some gifts in souvenir shops, or enjoy drinks in a grove next to the river. On the other hand there was a lot of people, so the place is a little bit overcrowded and it´s not very easy to (e.g.) take a photo :))

The boat along the river was lovely, then you need to be bused to the bigger waterfall. You can actually walk in the water there.
Our guide took us to the bus driver and they were all very nice.
HOWEVER, we went with Bootour who are all along the river in Manavgat, and when we returned from the waterfall our boat had left! So be careful. There are a lot of these boats and we were the only ones on their boat and they kept us waiting a long time before we left, then dumped us! It was an old man and a young man working together. The old man got you into the boat, then left you with the boat driver. Thankfully bus driver phoned him for us and he said he was on his way back, just 10 minutes, he phoned him a couple of times and got the same answer. 40 mins later we were still waiting and trying to get a taxi, when another boat , about the third that had arrived since, came and the driver asked for us and took us back. Not a nice experience!
Only go on these boats if there is a few others there too!

We walked from Manavgat to both the small and big waterfalls, it was a nice walk, with almost no traffic but neither waterfall was worth the effort. The small waterfall is really a few rapids, enough to stop boats going further upstream but almost invisible, with no water cascades. However there is a nice restaurant by the small waterfall that makes a good point to pause for a drink (and has clean toilets that are also free). The big waterfall is better, as the whole river drops about a meter so is a proper water cascade. It costs €1 to get close and there a huddle of overpriced shops once through the pay desk selling anything a tourist would want

The waterfall itself was pretty, didn't take much to take in and be ready to go again though. The water is powerful and a beautiful colour.
It is a massive tourist trap though with a touristy bazaar and restaurants/drink places all over priced compared to other places. You have to pay to get in, pay to use the toilet all for all of 10 minutes looking at a waterfall.

Went here as a part of a trip I had booked through jet 2 holidays. We went very early in the morning so it wasn't too packed but was a little busy. You have to pay for the toilets here. It is a short waterfall but it's pretty there's a little section within there where you can put your feet against the force of the waterfall but this wasn't accessible to me in the time I was there. The trip was very short to this waterfall as there isn't much to do there. There are some ice cream stalls and coffee stands I didn't but anything from these stalls. There's also a little souvenir type stall where they sell multiple things that you can get for people back home.

Would recommend going if it's part of a bigger trip not on its own as there isn't much to do there once you have seen the waterfall and had a little look around there's not much to do there once you have seen it.

Payment to access the area was a surprise.
Waterfalls were very underwhelming, photos and videos make it look special, it's not.. Nice walkways and natural beauty not advertised
I don't recommend this for young children
I don't recommend at all

We we’re staying at the Paloma Finesse hotel in Side and so including taxi rides for two adults and a 14 year old this cost us €80 and it was ridiculous.

The €50 entrance fee for the three of us was a joke as the waterfall although lovely could be seen in under five minutes and even dragging our feet we were out and back in a taxi in circa 30 minutes, this was a genuine rip off and if you need the toilet this cost €0.50 cents per visit per person.

Again I repeat the waterfall was lovely but the cost of entrance and WC facilities was obscene.

Last minute trip. Caught a dolmus to Manavgat and did the river trip but could have caught the dolmus to the falls. Cheap entry fee and the falls themselves are quite small but still worth the short trip out to see them and enjoy the bars and eateries there.

Beautiful site, but horrible experience with the guys taking pictures with parrots, it ruined the whole trip.
They said 15 euro for the pictures, I taught it will be a nice souvenir. After taking the photos, another guy on computer said to look a the pictures and select what we want. Immediately they start printing the pictures, after that the shocking news: 180 euros for the pictures, it’s 15 euros for one picture only. They start to become very aggressive we were obliged to pay. What a horrible and horrendous experience it was.

went on an organized tour, rip off charged us 4 euro to get in when its only 7 lira on the gate, less than a pound. however once inside its very pretty a few little shops and cafes, its okay for an hour but was disappointed nowhere to swim or cool off. your better off getting a bus into manavgat then getting the waterfall bus and doing it at your own pace.
