Frequently asked questions

What time does the tour start?+
Hotel pickup runs between 08:30 and 09:25; the boat then sets off down the Manavgat river in the morning.
How long does it last?+
About 5–6 hours on the boat; with transfers you are back at your hotel around 17:30. In midsummer the day can run slightly longer.
Is lunch included?+
Yes — freshly grilled chicken with rice and salad, served on board. Drinks are sold separately at the boat bar.
Are there swimming stops?+
Yes: one long stop of about 1.5 hours where the river meets the sea, plus several more swims in the open sea during the day.
Will we see dolphins?+
They are wild animals, so there is no guarantee — but on lucky days they appear offshore, and river turtles are seen on almost every cruise.
Is it suitable for children?+
Yes — a relaxed family day. Life jackets for every age are on board and children aged 0-2 join free.
Are water sports included?+
No. At the beach stop you can try jet ski and similar activities as an optional extra, arranged and paid on the spot.
What should we bring?+
Swimwear, a towel, sunscreen and a change of clothes; a hat and sunglasses are well worth having on sunny days.
