The Side Boat Tour is a relaxing full-day cruise combining the calm waters of the Manavgat River with the open Mediterranean Sea. With multiple swimming breaks, a lunch on board and a lively foam party, this tour offers a perfect mix of relaxation and fun along the coast of Side. Tour Program – Step by Step Hotel pick-up: In the morning, at approximately 09:00–09:45, you will be picked up from your hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle and transferred to the pier on the Manavgat River. The exact pick-up time depends on your hotel location and is confirmed after booking. River departure: The boat departs from the calm waters of the Manavgat River and cruises slowly towards the sea. Along the way, you can spot river turtles sunbathing on the branches and pass traditional wooden boatyards. First swimming break at the river mouth: The boat anchors at the point where the river meets the Mediterranean, offering approximately 45–90 minutes for swimming in both the cool river water and the warm sea water, or relaxing on the sandy beach. Freshly made gozleme can be tasted here. Lunch on board: A freshly prepared lunch, consisting of chicken or fish, rice, salad and bread, is served on the boat. Cruise along the coast: After lunch, the boat sails along Side's coastline, passing the ancient Temple of Apollo and the old harbor, offering great photo opportunities. Second swimming break: A further swimming break of approximately 20–45 minutes takes place near Side's old town or Caretta Bay, where you can also try the water slide into the sea if available.
