Our trip to Tazi Canyon was amazing and one of the highlights of our holiday. We did both rafting and the zipline, so the day was full of excitement and adventure. The staff were extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful, everything was well organised, and we felt safe and well looked after from start to finish.

The rafting was great fun: our guide in the raft kept us entertained with his sense of humour, which made the paddling much easier. The zipline was another unforgettable part of the day, with beautiful views and a real adrenaline rush. At the end we had a fresh, tasty lunch. We highly recommend this trip!

Maria, thank you! We'll pass your thanks on to your raft guide — his jokes are well known.

Tip: Lunch is served at the end of the day, so a light snack in the morning is a good idea.

Arzu O.

We joined the Adrasan–Suluada boat tour on 4 September 2026. We were picked up from our hotel right on time and boarded the boat at Adrasan harbour. The crew was very kind and friendly and provided life jackets.

The water at Suluada was amazingly clear, the food was tasty, and they also served tea and fruit. We had enough time to swim in every bay, the day went smoothly, and we were dropped back at the hotel at the end. Thank you for everything — I can recommend it with complete confidence.

Tripadvisor, 2026

Gold Way Travel

Arzu, thank you! We're glad you had enough time to swim in every bay.

Tip: Bring sunscreen and a hat — there is little shade on the island.

Hümeyra O.

We joined the Megastar boat tour with my family. They picked us up where we were staying and brought us back home — very comfortable transport. The captain welcomed us at the vehicle and took us on board, and the fun began right away.

We had such a good time: unique views and endless fun. The food was good and filling, and the scenery was incredible. Many thanks to the tour company!

Gold Way Travel

Hümeyra, thank you! We'll tell our captain that his welcome was remembered.

Tip: The boat makes three swim stops — bring a mask to see the fish.

Megan Dagher

We had an amazing experience with Gold Way Travel! Our rafting trip in Köprülü Canyon was great fun and perfectly organised from start to finish. The team was professional and friendly and made sure everyone was safe and having a good time.

Visiting Tazi Canyon was breathtaking, and the zipline added a great adrenaline rush to the day. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fun and memorable adventure in nature!

Gold Way Travel

Megan, thank you! We're happy that rafting, Tazi Canyon and the zipline made such a great day.

Tip: Wear closed shoes that can get wet — open sandals aren't allowed on the raft.

Tolga Çelik

It was a great tour — everything was lovely. We saw the beauty of the Green Canyon and swam in its cool water. The tour went without a single hitch.

Our guide, Mr Varol, was very attentive and kind; you can tell he loves his job, and he guided us wonderfully the whole way. Many thanks to him! We definitely recommend Gold Way Travel — very professional. We had already joined their boat trip in Kemer before, and that was a success too.

Google, 2025

Gold Way Travel

Tolga, thank you! We will pass your words on to Varol, and we're glad both the Green Canyon and the Kemer boat trip were a success.

Tip: Bring a swimsuit and a towel — there is a swim stop in the canyon's cool water.

Great customer service from the moment we got in touch to book: they answer questions quickly. The shuttle picked us up right on time at the agreed spot, and the driver was friendly.

The swimming breaks were long enough — we had plenty of time. For lunch you can choose fish or chicken; the food was filling. The crew on board was quick and helpful. I hope they keep up this quality, and I definitely recommend the tour!

Tripadvisor, 2025

Gold Way Travel

Thank you! We're glad you had plenty of time to swim.

Tip: At lunch you can choose fish or chicken — just tell the crew when you board.

Mehmet A.

Our Suluada boat trip was a wonderful experience. The staff were very attentive and friendly, and the boat was clean. Lunch was tasty and filling. The shuttle from the centre saved us a lot of time and effort.

The coves we visited were each more beautiful than the last, and the boat wasn't overcrowded, so the atmosphere was peaceful. With soft music and no unnecessary noise, it was a pleasure both to relax and to swim. For the price, we got more than we paid for. I recommend it to everyone!

Tripadvisor, 2024

Gold Way Travel

Mehmet, thank you! We're glad the boat wasn't crowded and you could truly relax.

Tip: Bring a snorkelling mask — the water around Suluada is crystal clear.

Djamila A.

We took the Porto Ceneviz bay trip as a family — two adults and a 7-year-old — and it was simply magical! We visited three bays with swimming stops, and with every stop the scenery became even more beautiful: clear, warm water, emerald green and at times turquoise.

Life jackets are provided, so our son, who isn't a strong swimmer yet, could fully enjoy it. The meal was very good and filling. The boat crew and the whole team really listen to their guests. You can book with your eyes closed — we would do it again!

Tripadvisor, 2024

Gold Way Travel

Djamila, thank you! We're glad your son could enjoy the sea with a life jacket.

Tip: The drive to Porto Ceneviz is long — take breakfast and water for the road.

A magical flight and sunrise! The 'Balloon flight in Pamukkale from Belek' tour is really interesting. Our balloon pilots are true professionals: the flight was amazing, with the travertines and the ancient city of Hierapolis right below us.

Gold Way Travel answers all questions quickly, and the bus came on time. Special thanks to Sevde, our guide — a very attentive and clever young woman.

Tripadvisor, 2024

Gold Way Travel

Thank you! We will pass your kind words on to Sevde.

Tip: The balloon takes off at dawn — bring a warm jacket for the early morning.

Inna K.

On the first day of my holiday I went to a hammam to prepare my skin for the sun. The transfer arrived on time, the drive was short and the driver was friendly. At the hammam reception they offered optional extra treatments.

Sauna, steam room, then the wash in the hammam — the young man, Mamed if I remember correctly, does his job very thoroughly. After a short rest came a face mask and tea, and finally a heavenly massage. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you!

Tripadvisor, 2023

Gold Way Travel

Inna, thank you! A hammam on the first day is a great way to prepare for the sun. We will pass your thanks on to Mamed.

Tip: Extra treatments at the hammam are optional — you can decide on the spot.

It was magnificent — while we flew, it felt as if the whole universe was embracing us. Very vivid impressions! From the air we even saw a turtle in the sea. The drive up the mountain was a thrill in itself.

We were picked up right at the hotel in a comfortable minivan, which is very convenient. Unforgettable — I highly recommend this trip! Thank you to the organisers!

Tripadvisor, 2023

Gold Way Travel

Thank you! Spotting a turtle from the air is a rare bonus — you were lucky!

Tip: No experience is needed: you fly in tandem with a professional pilot.

We booked a diving trip with Gold Way Travel for our 14-year-old's very first dive. The website has all the information: description, price, what is and isn't included, timing. Booking and confirmation are online, no prepayment is needed, and there are several ways to get a discount.

A Mercedes minibus with air conditioning picked us up at the time on the e-ticket. In Kemer we were met by the Poseidon Kemer Diving team — special thanks to the cook for a delicious lunch, to instructor Alyona and to the kind girl with the Totoro tattoo, and to all the instructors, the captain and the crew. The briefing, the information and the safety were all at a high level. A wonderful day full of positive emotions!

Tripadvisor, 2022

Gold Way Travel

Thank you! It's wonderful that your child's first dive went so well. We will pass your thanks on to Alyona and the whole diving team.

Tip: No experience is needed for a first dive: the instructor gives a briefing and stays with you underwater.

Today my husband and our 5-year-old son went rafting on the Köprüçay river from Alanya. They came back very happy! The transfer arrived on time — even a little early — they were driven to the start and given all the equipment they needed.

Special thanks to our instructor and guide Kolya, who explained everything and led the trip expertly. Our son is thrilled, because he got to steer the raft!

Tripadvisor, 2022

Gold Way Travel

Thank you! We'll tell Kolya that the young helmsman was thrilled.

Tip: Children can join the rafting too — bring closed shoes and a change of clothes for them.

A wonderful agency: everything was well organised, on time and to the point. Many thanks for the trip! We booked rafting plus the safari by open bus. The rafting was simply 'wow'! Special thanks to our captain Nami — the best!

Guys, you're great. From now on, all our excursions will be with you!

Tripadvisor, 2022

Gold Way Travel

Thank you! We'll pass your words on to Nami — we're happy the rafting was a real 'wow'.

Tip: Keep your phone in a waterproof case or leave it on the bus — everything gets wet on the river.

Tripadvisor traveller

I went to Cappadocia with this company from Tekirova. Our driver Yasen and our guide Ilgar were wonderful: the ride was fast and comfortable, and the guide shared history and background the whole way. We hardly stopped at tourist shops, got back to Antalya early and still visited every place in the programme.

For $100 the price included transfers, museum visits, all breakfasts, lunches and dinners, plus a Turkish night, which we really enjoyed. The balloon flight and the panorama point are paid separately. I compared offers before booking: cheaper tours left out many sights and meals, so in the end they cost more for the same programme.

Later I also booked the Kemer boat trip through them — just a WhatsApp message late at night. A three-deck boat with a foam party, entertainers and lunch for about $15. I recommend this company!

Tripadvisor, 2021

Gold Way Travel

Thank you for such a detailed review! We will pass your kind words on to Yasen and Ilgar. We're glad the Turkish night and the boat trip in Kemer became part of your holiday too.

Tip: On the boat trip, take plenty of water with you — it is easy to get thirsty on a hot day at sea.

I booked a diving trip in Side. Registration on the website was easy and the text was clearly written, not machine-translated; after that we kept in touch on WhatsApp. We were picked up at the agreed time and taken to the port — about 35 people in the group.

Because I have a diving certificate, another certified diver and I were kitted out separately and dived with an instructor at the underwater sculpture museum, in the part that lies 25 metres deep. Meanwhile the rest of the group learned the basics. Then the boat moved to a second spot at 5–10 metres with other sculptures, where the main group dived. After lunch we did a second dive.

The boat is good: three toilets, a deck with tables and a sun deck. The crew is large and several of them speak Russian. Take drinks with you. Payment was in cash on the bus. Well organised — next time I will book with this company again.

Tripadvisor, 2021

Gold Way Travel

Thank you! The underwater sculpture museum is a real highlight for certified divers, and we're glad the instructors took you there. See you on your next trip!

Tip: If you have a diving certificate, bring it along — certified divers can dive deeper with an instructor.

Lina

We booked a jeep safari and rafting with this team. The jeep safari was great: they take you up into the mountains through beautiful places, and everything went exactly by the programme. We were really pleased that one of us was allowed to go on another day for health reasons, at no extra cost.

The rafting was also great fun and a bit extreme — our instructor Kolya was super! Lots of impressions. We recommend them!

Tripadvisor, 2021

Gold Way Travel

Lina, thank you! We're glad the jeep safari and the rafting went so well, and that we could move one of your group to another day.

Tip: On the jeep safari, wear clothes you don't mind getting wet — water fights are part of the fun.

Today we went diving at the underwater sculpture museum in Side. I booked online just one day before, and everything was done at the highest level: they picked us up in the morning, took us to the port and onto the boat, and we paid on the spot. The guide spoke Russian.

We are certified divers and had excellent dives. Afterwards we returned to the port and were driven back to our hotels — no hitches at all, everything was great. I recommend it!

Tripadvisor, 2019

Gold Way Travel

Andrey, thank you! We're glad everything went smoothly even with a booking made just one day before.

Tip: Book the diving at least a day in advance — the boat leaves early in the morning.

Olga S.

A good travel company that responds quickly. On both trips the buses arrived on time and were comfortable, and the organisation was excellent. Thanks to the guide for the tours!

I booked Cappadocia from Moscow about a month in advance, and Pamukkale the day before. The price was lower than with the hotel guides, and in my opinion the quality was far better.

Tripadvisor, 2019

Gold Way Travel

Thank you! We're glad both Cappadocia and Pamukkale went well, and that we could confirm Pamukkale the day before.

Tip: Book Cappadocia in advance; Pamukkale can often be arranged at short notice.

We booked the rafting in advance from Russia online — $5 cheaper. All the details were easy to clarify on Viber, and the team kept us informed about everything.

The rafting was fantastic! Everything was clear, on time and professional. Many thanks to Gold Way Travel — well done! We recommend it!

Tripadvisor, 2019

Gold Way Travel

Thank you! We're happy the rafting was a success and that everything was clear in advance.

Tip: Take only things that can get wet on the raft — leave valuables on the bus.

Irina

We took the Antalya city tour on 4 July 2018 with our guide Oksana, in a small group of six. Thanks to her interesting stories we learned a lot about Turkey, its traditions and its people.

We rode the cable car up Tünektepe for a great view over the coast and the city, strolled through the old town of Kaleiçi, took a boat along the coast, stopped at several viewpoints, saw the Düden waterfall and visited the MarkAntalya shopping centre. Many thanks to Oksana! We came home with lots of great memories and beautiful photos, and the tour matched the description on the website where we booked it.

Tripadvisor, 2018

Gold Way Travel

Thank you! We'll pass your thanks on to Oksana. Tünektepe, Kaleiçi and the Düden waterfall in one day — we're glad you enjoyed it.

Tip: Wear comfortable shoes — the streets of Kaleiçi are steep and cobbled.

Tripadvisor traveller

On 5 June 2018 we went rafting as a family. We booked on the website and confirmed the booking and payment (cash to the driver) on WhatsApp. All the conditions are described on the site, so we brought drinks and snacks and wore suitable shoes and clothes.

We were the last to be picked up in Antalya, and the bus from Kemer arrived on time. The group was small, about 20 people, so the stops, briefing and changing didn't take long. We had a great time: beautiful nature, icy water, rapids, speed and adrenaline! Our child and grandma loved it all — the pretty bridge, the splashing, the chants, overtaking other rafts, being tipped into the water and the rope swing across the river at the rest stop, where the gözleme with ayran was delicious. Only positive memories — thank you!

Tripadvisor, 2018

Gold Way Travel

Thank you! It's wonderful that three generations enjoyed the rafting together.

Tip: Try the gözleme with ayran at the rest stop — it's a favourite with our guests.

Natalya M.

Thank you so much for your professionalism! I booked the excursions two months in advance from Russia on the Gold Way Travel website: a hammam visit and a Manavgat river trip, with no prepayment — we paid on the bus. The prices are much lower than with hotel guides.

We were picked up from the hotel on time. It's not my first time in Turkey, and I can say everything was top level. I especially liked the hammam: cosy, clean and everyone was friendly. Many thanks to Gold Way Travel for caring about its customers!

Tripadvisor, 2018

Gold Way Travel

Thank you for booking with us two months in advance! We're glad the hammam and the Manavgat river trip were a success.

Tip: Take a swimsuit and flip-flops to the hammam.

We used this agency while on holiday in Side. We found the website online and contacted the manager on Viber to agree on the day and the pick-up time from our hotel. We chose rafting, and it went brilliantly.

The price was 1.5–2 times lower than at the street agencies — people in our group had paid twice as much through their hotel guide. By the way, we paid by Visa card at the rafting site. I recommend this company!

Tripadvisor, 2017

Gold Way Travel

Thank you! We're glad the rafting was a success and that booking via Viber was so easy.

Tip: Bring a change of clothes and a towel — everyone gets wet on the river.
