Side Boat Tour Experience

Your Side boat tour begins with a transfer to a private pier on the Manavgat River. From here, the boat slowly sails along the calm river, offering peaceful nature views before reaching the sea.

The first major stop is at Manavgat Boğaz Beach, a unique natural location where river water meets the Mediterranean Sea. Here, you can swim in both fresh and salt water, relax on the sandy beach, or enjoy optional water sports. During this break, your lunch is served on board.

After leaving the river, the boat continues into the open sea, cruising along the beautiful coastline of Side. A second swimming stop takes place in a bay known for Caretta Caretta sea turtles, where you may have the chance to see them in their natural habitat.

As the journey continues, you will enjoy panoramic views of the Temple of Apollo and the ancient harbor of Side from the sea. A final swimming break is given near this historic area before heading back.

Throughout the day, music, animations, and a foam party create a lively and enjoyable atmosphere on board.
