Side Canyon Safari includes two parts: a jeep safari and a boat ride, as well as two canyons at once! A unique all-inclusive offer.
Jeep safari is one of the most popular tours in Turkey for a reason. It is harmony with nature, feeling the spaciousness of mountains, rivers and lakes and of course traveling with a cheerful company.
We offer you a trip by jeeps to one of Turkey’s most beautiful spots, two canyons (Green Canyon and Green Lake Canyon), and Manavgat waterfall. In the morning, your driver will pick you up in a Land Rover jeep from your hotel. You will drive to Manavgat to its famous waterfall. There you will have free time to take pictures of this amazing waterfall.
After stopping for tea, you’ll head to the Oymapınar Reservoir panorama, to the Green Canyon. You will have incredible views of the large emerald lake from the mountains. Here, admiring the panorama, you’ll have lunch. At your leisure you can sunbathe, take a walk or swim in the green lake.
The trip ends with a one-hour catamaran ride through the Green Canyon, before returning to the hotel in the evening.
Jeep tour, two transfers, boat trip and lunch are included in the tour price.
Are you ready for the fresh pine mountain air of the Taurus Mountains, as you wind your way by jeep through one of Sides most amazing day tours? Your jeep with professional driver at the helm, will take you on one of nature’s greenest and most delightful tours, experiencing such diversities as green lakes, rivers, waterfalls and forestry; through ancient Roman antiquity sites and the villages of Side and Manavgat.
All in all the Side Canyon Safari offers so much more than simply a ride through the glorious mountains of Anatolia.

You will be picked up from your hotel or apartment at approximately 09:00 and travel to the meet point where you will join the other jeeps in your convoy.

Once you meet the other jeeps you will be given a brief safety talk by your guide and then you are off through the mountains and the emerald green forestry.
Your first stop will be at the Manavgat waterfall. The falls are symbolic of the region and you will have a half hour break for swimming and cooling off. Then for the off road drive, through the countryside of Side to Manavgat, where you will pass by the 1800 year old Naras Bridge and a brief stop for photographs.
On through Orange orchards with their wonderful scent to the ancient Roman aqueduct and more photo opportunities. By now you will be looking for refreshment and you will stop at a village tea garden, where you will be able to buy Gozleme, a traditional Turkish savoury pancake, and partake of a cool drink or Cay, which is Turkish Tea usually drunk without milk and one sugar cube to sweeten. You will be amazed how refreshing it can be.
From the village and tea gardens you will head for Seyran Hill with its amazing views over Oymapinar Dam and Green Lake. On the hill you will be served lunch, which usually consists of chicken or fish with rice, salad and the wonderfully fresh Turkish bread. Following lunch you can swim in the lake, sunbathe or take a walk in the area.
When everyone is ready to move on you will have a boat trip on the Green Lake which lasts 1 hour. Afterwards, it is time to say goodbye to new found friends, and go on your way, you will travel back down to the hotels and apartments and your original pick up point.
