Questions
Yes, Karpuzkaldiran Waterfall is also known as the "Lower Duden Waterfall" because it is the exact point where the Duden River meets the Mediterranean. While the Upper Duden Waterfall located inland is a forested canyon, Karpuzkaldiran Waterfall, which you will see on this tour, is a rare panoramic sea waterfall cascading from giant cliffs directly into the ocean.
Reviews
Thomas Beira
A wonderful program to get to know Antalya. The streets of Kaleici were highly authentic, and Hadrian's Gate was mesmerizing. Watching and photographing the moment the waterfall cascades into the sea was a great experience.

Kaleiçi'ni yürüdükten sonra yat limanından tekneye binmek çok iyi geldi. Denizden falezlerin görünümü muhteşem. Öğle yemeği taze ve lezzetliydi, rehberimiz her şeyi çok güzel anlattı.

Our hotel transfer was right on time. Thanks to the museum and boat tickets being included, we didn't wait in any lines anywhere. Tasting traditional bitter orange jam was a very interesting and delicious experience.

Our guide was very polite and knowledgeable. Karpuzkaldiran Waterfall was mesmerizing. Just keep in mind that the tour boat we boarded was a bit crowded with other groups; those seeking quiet can choose a private tour." - David T.
