Highlights

- Manavgat - During the boat trip, a swimming break will be made at the point where the Manavgat River meets the Mediterranean Sea. This location will amaze you due to its natural beauty.

The location hosts river turtles and big sea turtles often appear.

This Waterfall is one of the most famous natural landscapes of Anatolia. The water flows in a 4-meter height and ends up in an emerald river which is surrounded by trees. Enjoy some breath taking views over the Waterfall and take some amazing pictures. Then, you will be transferred to Manavgat city center.
- Side - The bus will drive you back to the hotel.

This trip is definitely worth doing if you are staying in Side Antalya - This is an excellent trip and definitely worth doing if you are in Turkey. You get picked up from the hotel… river cruise… beach stop….Manavgat waterfalls and huge bazaar in Manavgat city. Lunch on board the boat was delicious. Trip is well organised and guides are good fun and helpful.

Very nice boat tour - I thought the boat tour was really good, we went a bit by boat, were then picked up by the dolmus and drove safely to the waterfalls. The entrance fee there is 1 euro. For me the trip was worth it because it was very beautiful and we saw turtles along the way.

Should have been better - It was a lovely trip however there are 3 things that spoilt it for us.
1- The fact that you cannot take any drinks on board is inexcusable. We felt aggrieved and therefore didn’t want to spend any other money on the boat.
2- The music was not appropriate for families, there was too much swearing in the music chosen
3- When we stopped for a swim we had to pay €1 for a sunbed, this is unnecessary.
If I am honest and if I can give you some advice I’d suggest you charge €5 extra in the price of the ticket, provide 1 bottle of water per person and free sun beds (not only would you then make a profit but you would also make yourselves look generous)
The above didn’t spoil our day it just left us thinking twice about recommending it to anyone else
