2.Green Canyon Jeep and Boat Tour with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 2,090 reviews · 8 hours · from $28

Join Johnny Cash, Miki, and a lively jeep convoy from Side to Green Lake. Expect dusty mountain roads, water fights, village visits, a waterfall stop, lunch, and an optional boat ride with time to swim. This is an energetic day in the Taurus Mountains, not a quiet sightseeing bus tour.

“Absolutely brilliant! Our driver was Tony and he was fantastic. Super fun was had by all four of us: the water fights were a welcome addition, and engaged the kids from the get go! The ‘main’ guides- Johnny Cash and Co were awesome. I honestly can’t recommend it enough. A great family day out! Do make sure to bring extra cash, and if you have fussy eaters: bring snacks.”

4.Dolphin Island Boat Trip with Lunch & Unlimited Drinks

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 896 reviews · 7 hours · from $24

Spend seven hours on a lively boat from Kumköy Beach, with hotel pickup, lunch, unlimited soft drinks, swim stops near the Manavgat River and Dolphin Island, coastal views, and a foam party. Dolphin sightings are possible but never promised. English and Turkish staff lead the day.

“The boat journeys in between places were a bit too long in my opinion. It took around one hour to get from the river to dolphin island. I was also under the assumption that we would visit 3 different locations but we ended up only visiting two and going back to the area where the river and the sea are, twice. Food was nice and well seasoned. Apart from that, everything was good and the guides were very nice. Swimming in the sea was beautiful”
