Enjoy a Peaceful Day in Nature at Green Canyon

This full-day tour takes you deep into one of Turkey’s most beautiful natural areas — with green forests, calm lake waters, and stunning mountain views. It’s a relaxing and refreshing experience for people of all ages.


What to Expect on the Tour

Comfortable Hotel Pick-Up

In the morning, we’ll pick you up from your hotel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. As we drive through the countryside, you’ll see villages, mountains, and green landscapes along the way. The ride takes about an hour, but it’s smooth and pleasant.

Scenic Boat Cruise on the Lake

At the Green Canyon, you’ll board a big, open-deck boat made for comfort and great views. As we cruise across the deep, emerald-colored lake, you’ll be surrounded by steep cliffs and green trees. The air is clean, the water is calm, and the atmosphere is peaceful. You can relax, take photos, or just enjoy the silence of nature.

Swimming in Fresh, Clear Water

We’ll stop at a few safe swimming spots where you can jump in and cool off. The lake water is clean, fresh, and great for swimming. Whether you’re an experienced swimmer or just want to float and relax, the water is perfect for all levels.

Wildlife Along the Way

Keep your eyes open during the boat trip! You might see birds like seagulls, herons, or even falcons flying above. Sometimes mountain goats can be spotted climbing the rocks near the lake. It’s a fun surprise for nature lovers and kids alike.


Lunch with a View

After the boat tour, we stop at a small lakeside restaurant for lunch. The food is simple but tasty — often grilled chicken or fish, salad, rice, and bread. You’ll sit by the water, enjoy the peaceful view, and have time to chat with others or take more photos. There’s usually time for one more short swim before heading back.


Why You’ll Love This Tour

This tour is not about speed or rushing — it’s about slowing down and connecting with nature. It’s a perfect day for couples, families with kids, or even solo travelers looking to relax.

You’ll come back feeling lighter, calmer, and full of beautiful memories. No stress, no crowds — just a peaceful escape into one of Turkey’s hidden treasures.

Alles wunderbar

Wer mehr für 35 verlangt ist selber Schuld. Abholung vom Hotel, Schiffsfahrt, incl Getränke,das Essen im Restaurant am See, Bademöglichkeiten und die Heimfahrt alles top.Und wenn sich jemand von den Ost Europäern, Deutschen Engländer oder Türken gestört fühlt soll lieber daheim bleiben.

Wir empfehlen!

Es hat alles super geklappt: Abholung und Bootsfahrt waren super. Die Gegend ist atemberaubend schön und ein absolutes Muss, wenn man in der Gegend ist. Das Mittagessen war sehr gut und seinen Preis absolut wert. Es gab Fisch und Fleisch zur Auswahl, dazu Nudeln, Reis und Gemüse. Das Baden im See war sehr erfrischend.

Отзыв зелёный каньон

Всё было отлично! Вовремя забрали из отеля. Очень красивое озеро. На корабле гиды говорили на разных языках, так как туристы были из разных стран, так что никто не чувствовал себя обделенным информацией Только позитивные впечатления остались. Большое спасибо.

Enjoyable day!

The ride was enjoyable, though a bit slow. The waterfall at the end of the long boat trip through the canyon was quite small. The highlight was being able to swim in the clear water, which we did twice. The lunch was simple but delicious. Guests are offered complimentary drinks on board and can also buy small bags of chips.

Recommended!

The journey went smoothly and we had a great day. The bus was a little delayed but it wasn't a major issue. I could easily check its status via a WhatsApp message. Although the boat was busy, everyone was friendly and courteous. The boat crew were both efficient and friendly, giving us clear instructions for the swim stops and lunch break. It was a relief to be provided with life jackets, allowing everyone to enjoy the lake regardless of swimming ability. The scenery was stunning for capturing photos. Lunch was a bit crowded due to other buses being present, but our guide ensured we were served promptly and found a table. Overall, I found it to be a delightful and stress-free day, well worth the cost. Lunch was satisfying with plenty of soft drinks and water available. I'm happy I made the reservation.

Sehr empfehlenswert!

Wir hatten einen ausgezeichneten Busfahrer auf der Reise, der an Sehenswürdigkeiten für Fotos anhielt und interessante Informationen über die Orte und den Green River gab. Die Tour bot ein gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, mit schönen Möglichkeiten zum Schwimmen und einem köstlichen Mittagessen. Wir können diese Reise für ein unterhaltsames und unvergessliches Erlebnis wärmstens empfehlen.

Es ist eine nette Aktivität, aber...!

Die zerklüftete und stark bewachsene Landschaft ist sowohl schön als auch beeindruckend, es gibt jedoch keine verfügbaren Informationen. Die übermäßig laute Musik im Bus und auf dem Schiff kann ziemlich störend sein. Es ist wichtig zu wissen, dass das Gebiet Touristen aus verschiedenen Ländern anzieht. Letztendlich ist der Canyon einen Besuch wert, aber möglicherweise lohnt es sich nicht, noch einmal hinzugehen.

A day trip to Green Canyon.

My friend and I went for a day trip to Green Canyon. He was picked up by the tour bus at about 8:45 am. Stopped to take pictures on the mountain, and then took a boat tour. It was amazing! Enjoy such a relaxing and peaceful time on the boat. After that, we were taken by the coach to a lovely restaurant by the lake, where we enjoyed a three-course lunch and dine outdoors. Beautiful trip with beautiful scenery. Will definitely go again. Value for money.
