Alanya Jeep Water Fight Safari Tips: What to Wear and What to Expect
Alanya jeep water fight safari tips: what to wear, what to bring, how long the tour lasts, who it suits and how to book? A practical guide.
The Alanya jeep water fight safari takes about 6 hours and includes hotel transfers and lunch. The jeep convoy heads to the foothills of the Taurus Mountains, and along the way there are water fights with other vehicles. The most important tips are: quick-drying clothing, shoes that stay on your feet, sun protection and a waterproof phone case. Below, we have compiled this alanya jeep water fight safari tips list in concrete terms, along with the day's schedule.
How does the Alanya jeep water fight safari unfold?
The tour in our catalogue (Alanya : Jeep Water Fights Safari w/Lunch) starts from your hotel. Jeep drivers collect you from the hotel, then the route heads from the seaside town towards the mountainous interior. Throughout the day, groups have water fights with one another, and lunch is part of the programme. The total duration is about 6 hours.
There is one important distinction: this tour is not a quiet scenic drive. You will get wet, you may swallow some dust, and the vehicle will occasionally jolt. If you want to take photos in peace, another tour may suit you better. If you are looking for a noisy, fun and slightly messy day, you have come to the right place.
The order of stops, the route and the equipment may vary slightly between operators. For exact details, read the tour page before making a booking.
What should you wear and bring for a jeep water fight safari?
Preparation makes or breaks the enjoyment of the day. A short list:
- Swimwear or quick-drying shorts with a T-shirt: Cotton becomes heavy when wet and dries slowly. Thin synthetic fabrics are more comfortable.
- Shoes that stay on your feet: Choose sandals with a heel strap or trainers that can get wet without a problem. Flip-flops can be lost.
- Sunscreen and a hat: Sunscreen washes off when wet. Pack a small tube to reapply during the tour. A hat that can be tied on is a good idea.
- A strap for your sunglasses: If you wear sunglasses, secure them with a strap.
- A towel and a spare set of dry clothes: Changing on the way back is a relief. Nobody enjoys staying wet in the vehicle.
- A waterproof phone case: Essential if you plan to take photos, even if you do not have a phone with you. Alternatively, leave your phone at the hotel and go with a disposable, waterproof pouch.
- Leave valuables at the hotel: Passports, large amounts of cash and jewellery should stay in the hotel safe.
On days close to the end of the season, such as in October, midday in Alanya can still be warm, but in the late afternoon and in windy spots you may feel chilly in wet clothes. Bringing a thin top with you is a good idea. Check the weather forecast on the day of the tour.
Who is the Alanya jeep safari suitable for, and who is it not suitable for?
Groups of friends, couples and families with children can enjoy this kind of tour. Age, weight and other conditions may vary between operators, so read the rules on the tour page.
Extra care is needed in the following situations:
- If you have back, neck or joint problems: The vehicle sways on the rough terrain. Consult your doctor before going.
- If you are pregnant: Tours of this kind are generally not suitable. Get your doctor's advice.
- If you are prone to motion sickness: Avoid heavy meals before setting off, and if possible, sit at the front.
- If you are sensitive to dust or sun: Sunglasses and a hat will help.
This is not medical advice, just a general reminder. If you are unsure, ask the agency.
What are the alternatives if you do not want to get wet?
Not every holidaymaker wants to get wet. Around Alanya there are two options that differ from the jeep tour:
- If you prefer evenings: Alanya: Night Jeep Safari, Boat Trip and Dinner starts at 18:30. In Land Rover Defender vehicles, it travels from Damlataş and Cleopatra Beach along the seafront road to the western entrance of Alanya Castle. The route also includes photo stops, a boat trip and dinner. There is no water fight, and your clothes stay dry.
- If you are looking for nature and tranquillity: Alanya: Sapadere Canyon Tour with Lunch and Cave Visit takes you to the Sapadere Canyon. The road passes banana and avocado orchards, and there is a stone bridge and a stop for traditional gözleme. Lunch and a cave visit are included. It takes about 6 hours, and you will not have to get wet.
It is also possible to do the jeep water fight tour on one day and the evening safari on another. The two feel completely different.
How do you book, and what should you check before the day?
You can book on TurB2C by selecting the date and number of people on the tour page. The tour is run by licensed local agencies in Türkiye. After booking, keep the following in mind:
- Enter your hotel name and room number correctly. The transfer is planned accordingly.
- Check the pick-up time in the confirmation message. Times may vary depending on the operator.
- Check the weather forecast a day in advance. If plans change, contact the agency.
- Do not drink too much alcohol the day before. The vehicle will be bumpy, and getting up tired makes things harder.
