Dear Sir Kevin,

Thank you for taking the time to share your review with us. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve our services for future guests.

We’re sorry to hear about your disappointment regarding the tour selection. We’d like to clarify that there was no intention to mislead or prioritize one tour over another, as both the Quad Safari and Rafting Combo tours are equally valued by our company/has same profit rate.

Upon reviewing your booking, we confirmed that you selected the Quad Safari (Afternoon) option, as you have requested 1 double quad, and your ticket was approved accordingly by yourself. We understand now that you may have intended to book the Rafting Combo tour (Morning) package instead. Unfortunately, due to scheduling differences (rafting is only available in the morning), this combination wasn’t possible for your selected time, Sir.

All of the above is clearly stated in our WhatsApp conversation, we kindly ask you to review it and it should clear, that it is a matter of misunderstanding, unfortunately.

We regret any confusion during the booking process and would be happy to assist you in the future to ensure your preferred tours are properly arranged. If there’s anything else we can do to make it up to you, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thank you again for your understanding, and we hope to welcome you back for a more seamless experience.

Kind Regards,
Joinexcursions Team

Go wild or go home. Thank you team Join excursions

I was skeptical about booking online but team Joinexcursions.com reassured me. Great communication with them and they've guided me through my journey. My family and I did canyoning, rafting and zip line activities and boy, was it good. We had the most amazing time and experience. We have never done this sort of wild adventures before and all I can say is that we're still buzzing. My family loved our time in Side, but our memories doing these wild water activities will forever stay with us. Thank you

Sealanya

Sealanya, absolutely fantastic would definitely recommend. The animals are well looked after and are cared for and loved. Kids were thrilled to see the seals and dolphins, easy to book via WhatsApp chat. Easy pickup and driver looked after us he took our money so he could buy our tickets and made sure we knew where he was going to wait for our return to the hotel.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️amazing

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We visited Green Canyon and it was a truly wonderful experience. The transport from and back to the hotel was smooth and perfectly organized. Our driver was very kind and friendly, and we felt safe the whole time.

On the way there, we had the chance to go for a refreshing swim. On the way back, we could even try fishing in Green Canyon and enjoy another swim. Throughout the trip we had unlimited drinks – from refreshing soft drinks to coffee.

Lunch was delicious and the whole day was simply amazing. The beautiful nature, peaceful atmosphere, and excellent organization made a strong impression on us. We definitely recommend this trip to anyone looking for relaxation and unforgettable experiences in nature.

Pirate & jeep trips

We have used joinexcursions twice on our Trip. We did the Jeep experience and pirate boat trip.

They are very accommodating as we booked at the last possible minute. In addition they allowed us to defer one trip by 48 hours as my son came down with a minor illness.

Both trips were well organised and they double checked that we had boarded the transport. The guides on the jeep safari were hilarious. On both trips the food was excellent.

Nice experience for familys

We liked the tour and the guide was very nice and funny. The buggy's all had holes in the chairs but we did not mind that because they were fine to sit in and were comfertable. It was a nice tour and they looked out for you in a good way. They made a lot of foto's and did that at different spots on the route but they were a little too expensive to buy. And we did not liked it that we had to buy our own bandana and glasses. Normally thats included because its not cheap to go on this tour when you are with six persons. But we liked the tour and thought the water drive through places where a lot of fun.

Best excursion ever!

We booked the Jeep Safari excursion, it was SO fun, we didn't stop laughing from the moment we got on the jeeps until the moment we got off. If your looking for adventure, fun and a whole lot of laughter, you need to book this excursion!

We have just returned from a pirate…

We have just returned from a pirate ship excursion from Side Turkey, it was absolutely fantastic, as soon as I sent an enquiry I had a response immediately, and they then kept me upto date with collection times, payment, and other information...

I almost booked the same trip through my TUI rep which was alot more expensive!

The guy who seemed to be running the pirate ship was fantastic, he was constantly trying to get people involved and making sure everyone was having fun and happy, even us shy Brits 😅

They guy who runs the ship also goes around taking photos, which I was abit apprehensive about as I thought it would just be another tourist trap to rip us off, but they were really reasonable and we ended up buying 7.

The food was alot better than I expected, I assumed it would be the standard burger/chicken nuggets and chips that us Brits usually get offered, but it was like a Mediterranean salad with chicken and potato's, it was delicious, even the kids enjoyed it!

You also don't pay until you board the ship, so no risk of making a payment and then nobody turning up to collect you, which is less of a stress.

I definitely recommend this company! Don't book through TUI, book through these and save yourself the money!
