Green Canyon Boat Tour from Sorgun

Your pickup from Sorgun

Hotels in the pine belt are collected late, which is a small luxury: an unhurried breakfast and a short drive. You are met at your entrance and returned there in the afternoon or evening. Because the route is built around the day's bookings, the exact time is confirmed the evening before rather than fixed in advance.

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

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

What Sorgun is like

Sorgun is the forest side of the coast — a belt of coastal pine between the lake at Titreyengöl and the sea, with walking and cycling paths through it and the Çamiçi public beach where the trees run down to the sand. The old town is three or four kilometres away, five to seven minutes by road, so the hotels here trade the ruins for shade.

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.

Frequently asked

What time is hotel pickup from Sorgun?

Late in the round. This is the last stretch of coast before the river, so these hotels are among the final collections and the drive afterwards is short. We confirm the exact time the day before, and you are dropped back at the same entrance in the afternoon or evening.

Where do the boats depart from?

Closer than you might expect. The river piers sit on this side of the water, and the coastal boats leave from the old-town harbour three or four kilometres away — so whichever trip you book, the transfer is a short one. Your confirmation names the exact point.

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.
