📲 Contact Us Now on WhatsApp❓ Antalya Green Canyon Boat Tour: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is this tour suitable for people who get seasick?
Absolutely yes! Because Green Canyon is an enclosed dam lake, there are no waves or currents as at sea. Since the boat moves on completely flat, calm, smooth-running water, the risk of seasickness is 0%.
Is the lake water cold, and is swimming safe?
Because the lake water is fed by springs from the mountains, in the summer months it is a little cooler than seawater and extremely fresh. The swimming areas are safe, and our boat has life jackets/swim noodles, so guests who cannot swim can also enter the water safely.
Is there an extra charge for canoe and fishing equipment?
No, canoe use and fishing rods at the restaurant where we stop for lunch are offered to our guests as a completely free activity.
How long does the transfer between Antalya and Green Canyon take?
The distance between Antalya centre and Manavgat Oymapınar (Green Canyon) is about 85 km. With our comfortable air-conditioned tour vehicles, travel takes about 1 hour 15 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on your hotel's location.
