Green Canyon boat trip from Side is a unique nature tour that takes place on the Oymapınar Dam Lake, also known as the Green Canyon, located approximately 20 km from Side. The Oymapınar Dam, built on the Manavgat River, is the fourth largest dam lake in Turkey. Although the dam was originally constructed for electricity generation and irrigation, Green Canyon has become one of the rare dam lakes in Turkey where boat tours are organized.
The Green Canyon region offers a breathtaking natural landscape with its emerald-green waters, rich vegetation, and stunning views of the surrounding Taurus Mountains covered with forests. It is one of the most peaceful and beautiful natural areas near Side.
After pick-up from your hotels in Side and Manavgat, we drive to the Green Canyon harbor, where our boats are anchored. From here, you will enjoy a calm and relaxing boat tour on the dam lake, covering approximately 17 km and lasting about 4 hours in total. During the Green Canyon boat trip, you can admire the spectacular views of the lake and surrounding mountains while enjoying the fresh mountain air. This peaceful atmosphere allows you to escape from the hot and humid Mediterranean climate and refresh both your body and mind.
During the Green canyon boat tour from Side, there will also be swimming breaks where you can enjoy the cool and clear waters of the canyon.
Lunch will be served at our lakeside restaurant, located on the shore of the Green Canyon with a beautiful panoramic view of the dam lake. Here you can relax and enjoy your meal surrounded by nature and stunning scenery.
