The Funniest Day: Kusadasi Jeep Safari for Friends & Families

Dusty safari with not much to see

I would not recommend this your overall. You spend most of the time driving to the top of the forest which is dusty and they charge you extra 5 Euro for a face covering which you absolutely need. They think having water fights in the middle of no where is fun . They try to upsell at end with videos and pics they force you to fake like you are having fun. Two positive things are the staff are very nice and the lunch spot was nice with the beach and the food was decent . I would recommend to the operators to include some factual information about Kusadasi or Turkey in general.

Response from the operator: Hello Ann, This is a fun excursion and not historical trip or anything else so they took all you around forest of national parque to explore and to have fun all together. You have positive things too but you gave 1 star and it is not honest. I think you should have asked to your self about your expectation when you got this trip and you could see all details activity. It is NOT FAİR this comment to be accepted from our side because our team works hard to make you all satisfaction.

Jeep Safari in Kusadasi For Adventurous Kusadasi Disappointing 915315787 We called at the Zeus cave first where we were given the chance to swim in the cave, this entailed going up a few steps, climbing over fencing and down rocks into the cave, it was very crowded so we gave swimming a miss. We then went to the national park where they parked the jeeps next to each other and gave people water guns and everyone got soaked. We carried on further up the dirt road when we stopped to shout at the mountain and to hear the returning echo. After this we got back into the jeep and carried on further up the road. Our next stop was in the middle of the road for "dancing" followed by another water fight. We then went further along the road to our final stop on the mountain where we were herded down the side of a hill through trees to visit the monastery. We were then held here until the drivers had finished cooking the BBQ. We made our way back to the jeeps where the drivers had cooked some chicken and rice. There was also salad, vegetables, bread rolls and soft drinks available. Beer was available to purchase from a cooler. This was all eaten standing on the side of the road. Our final stop was the beach club which had a pool and bar and the beach was located across the path. We were in a jeep with 7 other people who didn’t speak any English, our driver didn't speak any English either however another driver kept us informed of what was happening. I think they have the right concept, as in they want to make it a fun jeep safari but it is very poorly executed. Some of the drivers seem to play up to be fakely funny - not being rude but just trying too hard. I thought it would be more scenic but the only scenery they really stop for is at the top when you can see the Greek Island, at the monastery when you have some lovely views and also at the canyon where you should at the mountain, the rest is mainly forest. They also try to sell you a USB stick for €30 at the beach club of all the photos and videos of the day and aren't too happy when you don't want to buy it. This was something that was done 20 years ago but nowadays nearly everyone has their own smartphone to take photos and don’t need to pay extortionate price to by a usb stick.

The tour is very reasonable at €25, I’m just disappointed I wasted a whole day on it.
