Side Dolphin Island Boat Tour

A Day Full of Nature and Fun Awaits You
On this full-day boat tour starting from the famous Manavgat River, you can relax on the boat or on the beach at Manavgat Strait, swim at two different spots, and enjoy the foam party and fun activities on board. Plus, do not miss the chance to watch dolphins and caretta caretta sea turtles in the sea.
Sailing from the Manavgat River to the Sea
Our boat departs from the picturesque Manavgat River, offering a delightful 40-minute journey through stunning scenery until reaching the river's meeting point with the Mediterranean Sea.
First Stop at Manavgat Strait
Our first stop is at the Manavgat Strait. Here, you can enjoy the unique experience of swimming in the cold waters of the river on one side and the warm Mediterranean Sea on the other. This natural wonder offers the rare opportunity to swim in both fresh and salty waters. A delicious lunch will be served on board.
Experience Fresh and Salt Water
Swimming in the cool waters of the Manavgat River is incredibly refreshing. Jump from the warm sea into the cool river and make the most of your day. Do not forget your snorkeling gear to explore the underwater beauty. You can also rent a jet ski in the river and taste delicious traditional Turkish gözleme made by local women.
Sailing to Karaburun Island
After our break at the strait, we will set sail towards Karaburun Island, also known as Dolphin Island, in the direction of Alanya. During this pleasant journey, keep an eye out for dolphins approaching the boat, and you might also spot giant caretta caretta sea turtles.
Karaburun Peninsula and the Second Swimming Break
Our tour will take you to the beautiful Karaburun Peninsula, known for its stunning promontory extending about a kilometer into the sea. This area features a charming bay with a small island and a picturesque beach. You can swim to the shore or to Karaburun Island and explore the underwater world with your snorkeling gear.
Return Journey and Foam Party
After a one-hour break at Karaburun Island, we will set sail back to the Manavgat River. If we are lucky, we may see dolphins and sea turtles racing alongside our boat again. Enjoy the fun foam party on board while we sail back.
Final Stop and Hotel Transfer
Our tour will conclude with a short 20-minute stop at the point where the Manavgat River meets the sea. Afterwards, we will return to the Manavgat River pier and provide transfer services back to your hotel.
