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.

Will we see dolphins?
It's all about luck really! There's usually more dolphins in September.

4Our Dolphin Island boat tour in Side was a fun family experience, though it felt a bit long at times. Arriving late due to hotel pickups meant limited seating, so we ended up on the top deck with minimal shade, which got hot. The kids loved the foam party and swimming stops around the island and in the refreshing river. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the views were stunning. Free drinks came in small cups, so we recommend grabbing a water bottle to avoid frequent bar trips. The return drop-off was slightly inconvenient, a short walk from our hotel, but overall, it was a great day out for families!

5Our family had a wonderful time on the Dolphin Island boat tour in Side, even though we didn’t spot any dolphins. The trip was exceptionally well-organized, with smooth hotel pickup and a comfortable, uncrowded boat. The swimming stops were a highlight—plenty of time to enjoy the refreshing river, which was a hit with my two kids! The lunch was delicious, and even the kids cleared their plates. We splurged a bit on photos, ice cream, and snacks, but the tour’s value made it worthwhile. The only downside was some smoking on board, which is common in Turkey, but it didn’t ruin the experience. Highly recommended for families visiting Side!
