Green Canyon Boat Tour from Gündoğdu

Your pickup from Gündoğdu

Pickup here is early. The morning collection works inward from both ends of the coast towards the river, and no point on our list lies further west, so the minibus reaches you near the start of its round and the longest stretch of coast road is ahead of you. You are returned to the same entrance in the afternoon or evening.

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

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

What Gündoğdu is like

Gündoğdu is the western edge of the resort strip, further from the old town than anywhere else we collect from. Guests here chose a quiet base, and that is precisely why the transfer earns its keep: the one day you want to spend on the water is the day you least want to be arranging your own way along the coast.

About the Green Canyon Boat Tour

The Green Canyon boat tour is the cool alternative to a beach day: a cruise on the emerald mountain lake behind the Oymapınar Dam, framed by pine-covered slopes. Swimming stops, a lakeside lunch and free fishing from the boat are all part of the day, with hotel transfer from the Side, Manavgat and Alanya area included.

Tour programme

Pickup from your hotel in the Side, Manavgat or Alanya area (the exact time is confirmed the day before).
Photo stop at the Oymapınar Dam viewpoint.
Boarding and cruise across the turquoise canyon lake — around 5 hours on the water.
Swimming breaks in the clear mountain water, which is noticeably cooler than the sea.
Free fishing from the boat; the equipment is available on board.
Lunch at a lakeside restaurant: meatballs, chicken or fish with rice and salad (drinks at the restaurant are paid separately).
Return cruise and transfer back; arrival at your hotel around 17:00.

Soft drinks on the boat are included in the price; alcohol is not allowed on board. An English-, German- and Russian-speaking guide and travel insurance are included. Please note the tour is not suitable for guests with limited mobility.

Frequently asked

What time is hotel pickup from Gündoğdu?

Early. This is the western end of the pickup area, so it is among the first hotels called each morning. The exact time depends on the route and on which hotel you are in, which is why we confirm it with you the day before. You are back at your hotel in the afternoon or evening.

Where do the boats depart from?

Not from Gündoğdu itself. Boats leave from the harbour in the old town or from a pier on the lower Manavgat river, depending on the trip you book. Your confirmation names the point your boat uses, and the included transfer drives you there and back.

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?

The pickup time depends on your hotel location and is confirmed the day before the tour. You are back at your hotel around 17:00.

How long does the tour last?

About 7 hours in total including transfers, of which around 5 hours are spent on the lake.
