4 star activities but 1 star transfer

OK, firstly the good points: The canyoning was ok, and enjoyable. Mehmet, our guide, was very friendly, and added to the enjoyment. The white water rafting was fun, and well organised despite the large number of people. It's not what I'd call "proper" white water rafting (ie you really didn't have to work hard to get down the rapids), but it was a typical "tourist trip", and I'm sure it's what most people would expect. The zip-lining was fun. 2 long zip-lines. If you didn't take part, you just waited until everyone was done. Lunch was good, and there was plenty of it. Things which could be improved: Communication about the canyoning could have been better. We hadn't done very much when we started climbing up the side of the ravine. We thought we were going to drop back down to the river to carry on with the canyoning, but actually that was the end of the trip. That was a bit disappointing. You could buy beer at 20 lira. Most hotels charge a maximum of 15 lira, so we felt that was a bit on the pricey side, but that's a really small point. The biggest issue for us was the transport. We were picked up in Alanya in a minibus. Immediately we realised it was very hot in the bus, and the number of air vents was just not enough to circulate air to the back of the bus. We had to keep asking for the air con to be turned up, but the driver would turn it down again. We were all melting in the back, and didn't feel that the driver or guide understood the scale of the problem. It was sooooo hot. And this was in May. I dread to think how it will be in August. Not that long after we began our journey, we pulled off the main road and drove to a village. We stopped on the side of the road, we assumed to pick up more guests. But we weren't given any information about why we stopped, or how long for. So we sat in the hot greenhouse (sorry, bus) for a few minutes, then realised that no more guests were being collected, so we got out of the bus to try to cool down a bit. As far as we could tell, we had stopped for the driver and guide to have a coffee and cigarette break. There was NO communication about this stop at all. After that we had another stop at a shop/cafe. We got out so that we could escape the heat of the bus. But it didn't seem necessary really to be stopping yet again for the driver and guide to have another drink and cigarette. We stopped at that shop/cafe on the way back too, and literally all the guests either stayed in the bus, or stood by the bus waiting for the driver and guide to come back. The transfers weren't that long that 1 break was warranted, let alone 2. So, to sum up, the activities themselves were fun, and reasonable value for money, but they need to sort out the air con in the bus and work on communication. Tips: Put sunscreen on before you leave the hotel, as there wasn't time to put any on when you get there. Take plenty of water for the day, maybe a snack to eat before you start the activities. Take lanyards to keep your sunglasses on, and invest in some waterproof phone bags if you want to take your own photos. The company does offer photos and video of the white water rafting and zip-lining (not of the canyoning).
