Dolphin Watching Cruise from Evrenseki

Your pickup from Evrenseki

Collection here falls in the middle of the morning round, after the resorts further west and before the ones closest to the centre. You wait at your own hotel entrance and you are returned to it in the afternoon or evening. Where your hotel sits on the route decides the exact minute, which is why the time is confirmed the day before rather than promised at booking.

Meeting point is usually your hotel's main entrance or security gate.

Your exact pickup time is confirmed the day before the tour.

What Evrenseki is like

Evrenseki is the quiet family strip west of the centre: hotels, a wide beach, and eight to ten minutes of road between you and the old town. It suits parents who would rather the day were organised for them — the boat is the outing, the included transfer is the part nobody has to think about, and the drive back is over before anyone starts complaining.

About the Dolphin Watching Cruise

A full day on the water without the guesswork: morning pickup, a gentle river cruise, one long swim stop where the Manavgat meets the Mediterranean, and lunch served on deck. Turtles sunbathe on the branches along the river — and on lucky days dolphins show up offshore.

Frequently asked

What time is hotel pickup from Evrenseki?

Mid-morning. The strip lies about six kilometres from the centre, so it is neither the first nor the last stop of the round. Pickup follows a route that changes with the day's bookings, so your exact time is confirmed the day before, and the return is in the afternoon or evening.

Where do the boats depart from?

Either the old-town harbour or a pier on the lower Manavgat river, depending on the trip you book. Evrenseki is eight to ten minutes west of the old town, so both are a short drive, and the included pickup takes you to whichever one your confirmation names.

Do I pay in advance?

No. Booking is confirmed instantly and you pay on the boat on the day, in cash or by card. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before.

What time does the tour start?

Hotel pickup runs between 08:30 and 09:25; the boat then sets off down the Manavgat river in the morning.

How long does it last?

About 5–6 hours on the boat; with transfers you are back at your hotel around 17:30. In midsummer the day can run slightly longer.
