During the day, there'll be a bunch of swimming stops, a foam disco and loads of competitions planned by the animation team. The boat trip to Dolphin Island from Side is great for all the family. Like all boat trips, Side Dolphin Island Boat Trip starts at the Manavgat River jetty. The difference is that once out on the open sea, the boat sails towards Alanya, making stops for swimming in beautiful places.

  • River Cruise

  • Dolphin Island
  • Karaburun Bay

This is one of the most popular boat trips in Side. We are sure that by visiting this tour you will be satisfied and get a lot of positive impressions.

Tour Plan

  • Transfer from Hotel

    Your boat trip to Dolphin Island starts with you getting picked up from your hotel. The departure times are different for each area of Side, and the exact time for your hotel will be on the voucher after you've booked. Our minibus will be waiting for you on the main street in front of your hotel and will take you to the pier on the Manavgat River.

  • Manavgat Delta

    Our first stop for a swim is going to be at the Manavgat River delta, where the freshwater is cool and the seawater is warm. You can walk along the sandy beach and swim in both the river and the sea.

  • Lunch

    While you're swimming, our team will prepare a delicious grilled lunch for you. You can choose between barbecued chicken breast or trout, and there'll be pasta and a seasonal salad on the side. Drinks aren't included in the tour price, but you can order them from the ship's staff for an additional cost.

  • Dolphin Island

    Next up, we're heading to Dolphin Island, a little island where you can often spot these gorgeous marine creatures. We've got a 30-40 minute stop planned there to go for a swim.

  • Karaburun Bay & Foam Party

    On the way back to Side, there will be a foam disco on board. Afterwards, we will stop for a swim in the beautiful Karaburun Bay.

  • Return to Side

    Our pirate schooner will arrive at the pier on the Manavgat River at around 15:00, and our comfortable buses will take you back to your hotels in Side and the surrounding area.

Frequently ask Question

Are there any shady spots on the ship?

Absolutely! The ship has amazing canopies on the upper deck and cool shaded tables on the lower deck. Either way, you'll be able to take shelter from the scorching rays of the sun.

You can definitely order a vegetarian menu, but just make sure to let the staff know in advance.

It's all about luck really! There's usually more dolphins in September.

    5We had a great time! We swam a lot, and the kids really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, we didn’t see any dolphins, but we did see a turtle instead. 🙂
