Pirate Boat Adventure 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 Pirate Boat Adventure

The Side Pirate Boat trip is a full-day family cruise on a multi-deck wooden galleon that sails from the Manavgat River. With a costumed pirate crew, a treasure hunt on the beach and a swimming stop in safe shallow water, the day is built around children — while shaded lower decks keep parents comfortable.

Tour programme

08:30–09:30 — pickup from your hotel (transfer included in the price).
10:00 — the wooden galleon departs from the Manavgat River; choose a shaded lower deck or the open upper deck.
Live music, games and a costumed animation team keep the entertainment going throughout the day.
Anchor stop in the river delta: pirate shows, a treasure hunt on the beach, tug-of-war and free face painting for every child.
Swimming at the same shallow spot in both fresh river water and the warm sea — safe for kids; life jackets are mandatory for children and adult supervision is required.
Fresh lunch served on board, with a child-friendly menu.
Foam party on deck.
Return in the afternoon and transfer back to your hotel — about 7 hours in total.

Please note: all drinks, including water, tea and fruit juice, are sold separately at the on-board bar, so bring some cash. Sea insurance and life jackets for all ages are included; the activities are designed for children aged 3 and up, and kids aged 0–2 travel free.

Your booking is confirmed instantly and you pay on the boat on the day of the tour. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours in advance.

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.
