Dolphin Watching Cruise from Kızılağaç

Quick answer

Kızılağaç is one of the first stops of the morning: collection starts at the eastern end of the coast and works back towards the river, so the Dolphin Watching Cruise reaches you early, with the transfer included. The classic Side day at sea: cruise the Manavgat river, take a long swim stop where river and sea meet, then more swims offshore with lunch served on board. Pickup 08:30–09:25, back at your hotel around 17:30. Booking is confirmed instantly, you pay on the boat on the day, and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before.

Your pickup from Kızılağaç

These hotels are called near the start of the round, ahead of the resorts closer to the piers. You are met at your own entrance and returned there in the afternoon or evening. The exact time depends on the day's route and is confirmed the evening before, so nobody spends a morning guessing in a lobby.

  • Meeting point is usually your hotel's main entrance or security gate.
  • Your exact pickup time is confirmed the day before the tour.

What Kızılağaç is like

Kızılağaç sits east of the Manavgat river mouth, on the stretch where the resort strip thins out and the coast turns quieter. It is one of the further points we collect from, which is why the included transfer counts for more here than it does in the centre: the whole day is booked door to door, and none of it depends on you finding a pier.

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 Kızılağaç?

Early. This is towards the eastern end of the collection order, so it is among the first hotels called and the drive to the boat is a longer one. The exact time comes the day before, and the return to your hotel is in the afternoon or evening.

Where do the boats depart from?

West of you, in both cases. River cruises leave from a pier on the lower Manavgat river; coastal trips leave from the harbour in the old town, further along the coast again. Your confirmation names the point your boat uses and the included pickup takes you there.

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.
