Manavgat · Antalya · Türkiye
A boat day on the emerald reservoir above the Oymapınar Dam — calm mountain water, pine-covered slopes and time to swim. Book in minutes, pay on the day of the tour.
The cruises
Two ways to see the canyon: the full boat day with lunch on board, or the shorter panoramic catamaran cruise.
The classic Green Canyon boat tour — four and a half hours on Turkey's largest canyon reservoir, with swimming stops in emerald water, lunch on board and endless mountain scenery.
A relaxed 2.5-hour catamaran cruise on the emerald waters of Green Canyon — panoramic views of pine-clad mountains, calm sheltered water and open deck space to enjoy the scenery.
The day
From your hotel door to the emerald water and back — the honest shape of the day.
A coach collects you at your hotel. The exact time is confirmed the day before, once the route is set — that is how shared pickups honestly work.
The road leaves the coast and climbs along the Manavgat river to the jetty above the Oymapınar Dam.
The boat cruises the emerald reservoir between pine-clad canyon walls — with swimming stops in cool, crystal-clear fresh water.
The boat returns to the jetty and the coach brings you back — afternoon or early evening, depending on how far your resort is.
