Dozens of near-identical “Sapadere Canyon” tours are sold in Alanya. We ranked the ones on GetYourGuide by rating, number of reviews, what is included and how sensibly the day is paced. The first ten visit the canyon; the rest are the best companions for the other days of your trip.
How to read the prices: “from” prices are the lowest listed per person and often exclude entrance fees and lunch. A tour at €15 plus fees and a meal can cost the same as one at €30 with everything included.

How we would choose
- First visit, one free day: a 3-in-1 tour with the Dim River and Dim Cave.
- Teenagers or a group of friends: the Sapadere jeep safari.
- Toddlers or grandparents: an air-conditioned coach, or the shorter Dim River jeep day.
- Hire car: go independently, early — see getting there — and spend the saving on a long trout lunch.
