Overall it was so much fun, good dose of adrenaline and considering the price it was 100% worth it.
It didn't start out quite right, as the driver was more than 30 minutes behind schedule. It would be useful to inform about any delays if they are longer than 10/15 minutes. We left Konakli at 8:20 a.m. and were at our destination at about 10 a.m. Here we leave all unnecessary things for the rest of the trip and take our vests and helmets. You can rent a foam for swimming, buy rafting shoes or waterproof cases on site. The first was a buggy ride. We didn't have any problems, but there was an ignition problem in 1 vehicle and a couple of times the engine died on the trip, but the operators quickly helped get back on track. It takes a lot of strength to turn the steering wheel, but the ride itself is incredibly fun. There is a photographer on site who takes photos of us on the tour for an additional fee. I advise you to take sunglasses, a bandana for your face and headgear, as you’ll be facing a lot of dust.
Next up is rafting. It is essential to take water shoes with you. You can also buy them on site. Wear only a swimming suit, and leave your change of clothes + towel in the car. In general, I think that if your phone is water resistant and you have a zippered pocket in your swimsuit, then there is no need to have a case, but it is at your own risk. You will definitely get wet during the tour. There are 3 stops along the route. One for drinks, snacks (paid extra), the second for the zip-line and the third for lunch, which is included in the price.
The only downside is that before rafting we waited an awfully long time as a group to go out. They had too many people and we had to wait before the smaller group arrived.
Finally, I have an appeal to all foreign tourists. Given the very low cost of the tour, don't be so stingy when it comes to additional services, from which organizers make the most money. Let's face it. You won't get even a fraction of what you get here at this price in any European country.
PS. You will be so exhausted yet so satisfied you made it at the end of the day.
