It's not too far from your resort to the Secret Valley, but it feels like a world away. This tour will see you boating through the valley's stunning canyons, before having a few hours of free time to relax and unwind.

Drive through amazing mountainous scenery before boarding on to a traditional wooden river craft. Cruise lazily along the placid waters of the Secret Valley's reservoir, soaking up the views to a soundtrack of tweeting birds.

When it's time to take a break, we'll stop at a sheltered spot on the edge of the lake. Soak up some sunshine and relax on one of the sunbeds here, before tucking into a typical local lunch. In the afternoon, you'll have some more time to sunbathe, give zip-lining a try and go for a stroll through the woods here, before hopping back on the boat and returning to the harbour where you started. From here, all that's left is the transfer back to your accommodation.

This was a full day excursion, 8 hours. Was picked up at 9.30am back at hotel 3pm

This was a wonderful trip Our guide Natalie was so helpful and kind The scenery enchanting and where we stopped for lunch was just exceptional We had drinks up a tree , salad lunch , zip wire and it was all marvellous Thank you As a note maybe a toilet at the arrival to boat excursion would be really handy After 1 3/4 hrs on mini bus

Our guide, Mustapha, was excellent throughout. Which was brilliant considering we were the only English couple on the tour amongst a mainly Germany contingent. He gladly kept us informed during the whole excursion

Our rep was brilliant, so helpful and kept us updated all day so we knew what was happening. I loved all of it, we stopped off at the garden restaurant to have a look and a complimentary cup of turkish tea, it was beautiful. The boat ride was breathtaking scenery, our lunch was great, I couldn't get enough of fresh baked bread, just be aware that drinks aren't included in meal, also ice creams available to buy so take some cash, all in all a great day out

On the boat was brilliant but nowhere near enough time on it.too much time sitting around after lunch

We booked the trip with an English guide. Unfortunately as there were only 4 English on the trip we only had a German guide which was not what we paid for or expected. The actual guide was lovely and apologised he was not fluent in English. This meant we missed most of the commentary and information. Therefore felt a little cheated that contract wasn’t honoured. Food was really lovely. Was a lovely boat trip=very quiet and beautiful.
