Green Canyon Boat Tour from Kızılağaç

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 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 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?

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.
