Safety First & My Local Pro Tips
🛡️ Safety & Equipment
-
✅International standard life jackets for adults and all children. I personally check every jacket before departure.
-
✅Experienced captain and crew who know every corner of Side Harbor and Manavgat River.
-
✅Full insurance coverage for every passenger. Safety briefing in English and Turkish before we leave the harbor.
🎒 What to Bring
-
🕶️Sunscreen, hat, sunglasses – Mediterranean sun in Side is strong, especially between 11:00-15:00.
-
👟Swimsuit and comfortable clothes. Bring a towel (we provide small ones but your own is better).
-
📱Waterproof phone case or dry bag. Best photos are during foam party and at the river-sea meeting point.
My Local Pro Tips as a Side Native
The second swimming stop where Manavgat River meets the Mediterranean Sea is magical. Golden hour on the way back gives incredible sunset views over Side Harbor.
Bring small snacks for younger children. Our crew is very experienced with kids – don’t hesitate to ask for help during treasure hunt and foam party.
The area where river meets sea has the clearest water. Life jackets are mandatory but the water is calm and safe.
Bring some cash for optional drinks or captain photos. Card payment is limited on the boat. Book 1-2 days in advance during high season.
