The boat trip through the canyon itself is impressive. The views are amazing. Be sure to take warm clothes! A strong cold wind blows in places. First, everyone occupied the upper deck, and then went down to the closed lower deck. Immediately, everyone wanted hot coffee, as it were. 3 in 1 from a sachet.
After visiting the canyon, the trip program includes a visit to the lower lake - Manavnat reservoir. In 2 hours they promise to feed lunch, take a boat ride with a swim. In fact, there is no boat, no one dared to swim from the pontoon among the fishing rods. And those who wanted to go fishing broke their gear. Half-hour lunch and 1.5 hours waiting for departure to the hotel.
5 stars only for the Green Canyon itself. I will leave the rest without evaluation. Maybe others will have better luck.
It is a very picturesque place. The road to konen fascinates with its views and serpentines. From above, near the dam, you will find a beautiful view and gorgeous mountains. There is a parking lot for transport. Mini market with souvenirs and snacks. At the bottom of the canyon there is a developed infrastructure with restaurants, cafes and walks by water transport.
We were on an excursion on 24.10.24. The places are picturesque and beautiful. There is something to take pictures of. But I did not like the organization of the tour itself at all. It took a long time to collect tourists from hotels, it took almost 2 hours, although it took about an hour to drive there. But that's half the trouble. Instead of telling about the country and the people, they just turned on the music on the bus and also arranged entertainment with water spraying from water pistols. At first it was funny, but then my jacket got so wet that I had to squeeze it out, and all the clothes were wet, not pleasant. These are also small things. I didn't like that they brought me to some small shop and gave me 45 minutes to choose souvenirs. We just hung around for 45 minutes and didn't know what to do. Frankly, it was very boring at that moment. Then there were the same long stops for packing and moving the group. Despite the fact that the zoo was given only 30 minutes. When buying the tour, they said that everything was paid for, there was no need to pay extra. But on the spot, they asked for $ 3 per person to enter the zoo. It's a small thing, but it's unpleasant. They were brought to the dam, and there they gave only 20 minutes for a walk. They didn't tell anything special on the steamer either, the guide's story took about 5 minutes. They promised trout for lunch when selling the tour, but they gave chicken)) well, the path through the canyon somehow looks either littered or cluttered. While driving: mountains of some boards, bricks, near cafes that loudly call themselves a restaurant, piles of garbage. Empty bottles are floating in the water. In general, such excursions are more interesting in our mountains in Sochi or Abkhazia. I expected more.
