Amazing views and organisation! - The salt lake tour started with lunch at their restaurant which we were picked up from goreme and ate in uchisar. The view of the restaurant was gorgeous as it overlooks the hills and mountains. The food was also very fresh and tasty! The drive to salt lake took 2 hours 1 way and was in a very comfortable vehicle and it was well worth it as the salt lake is pretty and we got good photos! We stayed 1 hour there and that was more than enough to walk in the salt lake (make sure to bring wet shoes/sliders). Olenda travel took very good care of us! Because of this I booked camel tour from them too and that was also great experience. I would recommend them for all your activities in cappadocia.

Beautiful lake! - Staff was very accommodating. Arranged for us to go for sunset instead of day time. However, there was no lunch/meal included. We were the only ones that went so it felt like we had our own private driver. But, he didn’t speak English so we used Google Translator with him. Unfortunately, during the time we went (7/24) there was a drought going on and much of the outer lake is dried up. You need to go all the way to the center of the lake. Our driver didn’t know that the outer/northern tip of lake was dried up so we were disappointed at first, until he was driving us back to town then we saw some water more south of the lake. He was very nice to stop for us to experience the center of the lake. It’s absolutely beautiful with pink salt rocks and some water creating an amazing reflection of the sky. I recommend the tour agency to inform their drivers to stop at the bottom half of the lake for people to walk to the center where it’s not dried up instead of stopping at the northern tip of the lake.

Worth going if you have plenty of time in Cappadocia - We joined the tour in March when it was unexpectedly snowing heavily. The driver picked us up at our hotel and drove us to Uchisar for lunch first. The restaurant served tasty lunch with a panoramic view. Because of the bad weather, he advised us to go to the salt lake the next day. He drove us back to hotel after lunch. The next day the weather turned out pretty nice. We were picked up again, had lunch at Uchisar (this time we paid for it) and headed to the salt lake. It was a two-hour drive, but the view along the route was nice. The start of the lake was dried up, we needed to walk a bit to reach the water. The lake was not pink at all, but we managed to take some good photos at the lake. We stayed there for about an hour.
The driver was polite and drove safely, though he almost didn’t talk to us (maybe he wasn’t good at English). Besides, we thought we would join a sunset tour, but we were informed to be picked up at noon. We ended up arriving the lake at about 3:45 pm. It might have been better if the starting time was later.
Overall, it was worth going if you haven’t been to a salt lake before.

Not Great - If you’ve never seen a salt lake before, this would be very cool. We went because it said it glows pink in the afternoon, but it was very faint and not like the pictures. It’s a really long drive, and we were scared the whole time because our driver was texting or reading on his phone. Sometimes he even veered into the other lanes. It was not safe at all! I don’t even know his name because he never introduced himself, and barely talked at all. I’m sure part of this is because of a language barrier, but you can at least say hi and give your name. At the end, he jumped out of the car without a word, and another man jumped in to drive us to our hotel. We had no idea what was happening.

Lake was in drought - Due to Mother Nature there was a drought, which lead to me walking in mud for 20 minutes shoes were muddy and feet. Tour guide has a water bottle and we stopped at gas station to spray my legs. In my opinion if it is drought season there should not be a tour available to purchase. There was little lake, no pink water and the area looked really bad. I also had to pay an extra $40 for tour because I was the only one going. The tour guide told me before leaving that he is not sure if it will turn color to pink because it is due to Mother Nature and your luck. I’m very sad that I lost $145 for a basic tour of a lake that was not special. I wish I could have my money back. The tour guide was very nice, funny and had a lot of knowledge about the area. He drives very safe and I enjoyed his company. He has an amazing personality and he picked me up from fat boys restaurant. He offered me food and drinks but I already ate beforehand. The actual lake should not be recommended unless people can see the pink lake. A lot of people traveling from far away want to see it.
