Side & Manavgat Boat Tours
Side and Manavgat give you boating on three different waters: a river cruise on the Manavgat past the bazaar and waterfall, a swimming trip on the emerald Green Canyon of the Oymapınar reservoir, and a sea tour from the ancient Side harbour with the Temple of Apollo in view. This is river + dam-reservoir + antique harbour — not the sea caves of Alanya or Kekova near Kaş. Tell us what you want and get quotes from Side providers.

Highlights
Green Canyon (Oymapınar dam)
A boat tour on the Oymapınar reservoir winds between deep, forested canyon walls over cold emerald-green water; swimming stops and a trout lunch are common on board.
Manavgat River & waterfall
The river cruise from Manavgat runs along the stream, passes the Manavgat bazaar and calls at the low, wide-curtained Manavgat Waterfall; it's a calm, family-friendly outing.
Side ancient-harbour sea tour
Sea tours leaving the historic Side harbour show the Temple of Apollo from the water and pause at nearby swimming coves.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Green Canyon trip the same as the Manavgat river tour?
No — Green Canyon is a swimming lake tour on the Oymapınar reservoir; the Manavgat river tour is a separate cruise along the river to the bazaar and waterfall. State which one you want in your request.
Can you swim in Green Canyon, and is the water cold?
Yes, most tours include a swimming stop; the reservoir water is deep and noticeably cold, staying cool even on the hottest days — ideal if you want to escape the heat.
Which areas do the tours pick up from?
Pickup from hotels in Side, Manavgat, Sorgun, Kızılağaç, Çolaklı, Kumköy, Titreyengöl, Evrenseki and Gündoğdu is common; confirm the departure point when you get quotes.
Is lunch included?
Most Green Canyon tours include a trout-based lunch; short river tours usually include only drinks. Confirm the scope when quoting.
