    The tour begins as we pick up guests from their hotels between 08:30 and 09:30 using our comfortable convertible buses. We then proceed to our pier along the Manavgat river, passing through the scenic Sorgun forest. Our three-floor boat, the Prestige Deluxe, ensures a comfortable experience with amenities like bars, seating areas, showers, and ample restrooms. Once aboard, our professional guides fluent in English, German, and Russian will detail the tour program. Our journey commences towards the Manavgat strait, showcasing shipyards, trout farms, the Taurus mountains, and the Manavgat football stadium. The tour includes spotting turtles and reaching Cennet Beach for a unique swim, where the fresh waters of the Manavgat River meet the Mediterranean Sea.

    During the one-hour swimming break, guests can swim, sunbathe, or opt for a jet ski ride. Local delicacies like delicious pancakes are available for purchase. Meanwhile, the kitchen team prepares freshly grilled trout and chicken for a buffet lunch onboard. We then head to the ancient Dolphin Island near Karaburun, offering opportunities to see dolphins and caretta caretta sea turtles. A stop for a second 45-minute swimming break allows guests to explore ancient ruins or swim around the island. The return journey features entertainment such as a dance and foam party on the second floor of the boat, catering to guests of all ages. Additionally, a third swimming break at the river mouth provides a final opportunity to enjoy the waters. The tour concludes as we return to the pier, and our comfortable buses transport guests back to their hotels, with an estimated arrival between 18:00 and 18:30.

Boat trip

A wonderful tour. Pickup was punctual in a somewhat older open-air bus. Transfer took about 1 hour. Crew very nice and up for some fun. It takes place on a 3-story boat with plenty of space and sunshades. Guide spoke good German, English, and Russian. Everything is as in the description So river cruise, trip to Dolphin Island and back again. 3 swimming breaks, 2 at the strait of the Manavgat River, 1 in the open sea at Dolphin Island. The ship travels a bit slower than the pirate boats but covers the same distance. The meal consisted of chicken, salad, and rice. It wasn't a huge portion, but you got full. Drinks are a bit expensive (beer 5 euros). But you are allowed to bring your own water. Photos are also taken with a parrot. They can be purchased at fair prices (photo 5 euros, plate with photo 10 euros). A simple no is enough and there is no obligation to buy! Very exemplary. In short, a top price-performance ratio as an alternative to a beach day with good food and nice people. Especially much cheaper than buying it on the street. You get on the same boat but save about 50 percent. The only drawback is the restrooms. These smell strong and are cleaned too infrequently. We were even lucky and were able to see dolphins.
