Discover the serene beauty of Turkey’s most spectacular natural reservoir on the Green Canyon Boat Tour from Side. Often described as Turkey’s answer to the fjords, this stunning canyon features towering cliffs, lush pine forests, and striking emerald-green water fed by cold underground springs.
Your day begins with a comfortable, air-conditioned hotel pickup, followed by a scenic drive through the Taurus Mountains to the Oymapınar Dam. Upon arrival, you will board a spacious, two-deck catamaran. As the boat glides through the Grand Canyon and the narrower Little Canyon, you can relax on the shaded lower deck or soak up the sun on the upper panoramic deck.
We make two dedicated swimming stops in the crystal-clear, refreshingly cool lake water (around 20°C). At the first stop, complimentary fishing rods and tackle are provided for those who wish to try their luck catching local trout or carp. Midway through the cruise, we dock at a beautiful lakeside restaurant for a hearty, freshly prepared lunch.
Throughout the entire boat journey, unlimited soft drinks, bottled water, tea, and coffee are served completely free of charge, ensuring you stay perfectly hydrated while taking in the unforgettable views. By late afternoon, you will be comfortably transferred back to your hotel, refreshed and filled with lasting memories.
The tour operates on a stable, two-deck catamaran with shaded seating, a lower-deck bar, and modern toilets. The lake water is refreshingly cool (approx. 20°C) due to underground springs, making it perfect for a revitalizing swim. Fishing equipment is provided free of charge during the first stop.
