What to Expect:
Enjoy a Relaxing Boat Trip from Side
Our Side Boat Trip begins at around 09:45 in the morning from the calm waters of the Manavgat River. As the boat cruises slowly toward the sea, you’ll enjoy beautiful views of nature and the local riverside life. Along the way, you might spot river turtles sunbathing on tree branches that stretch out over the water. You will also pass by small private boatyards and wooden shipyards that give you a glimpse of traditional craftsmanship.
The first stop is where the river meets the Mediterranean Sea. This area is special because the cold river water and the warm sea run side by side all the way to the pier. We stop here for about one and a half hours. It’s the perfect place for swimming – you can jump into the refreshing river or enjoy the waves of the sea. There’s also space to walk along the sandy beach, relax, or try out some exciting water sports. You can talk directly to the activity teams and agree on a price if you’re interested.
After the break, the boat leaves the pier and sails out to sea. Depending on the weather and sea conditions, we may head toward the coast of Side or to a small rocky island often called “Dolphin Island,” located in the direction of Alanya. With a bit of luck, you might see dolphins swimming nearby or spot the large sea turtles known as Caretta Caretta. These are unforgettable moments for many of our guests.
Throughout the trip, the boat will stop a few more times for swimming in the open sea. A delicious lunch is served on board, freshly prepared and perfect for enjoying while you take in the sea breeze. We kindly ask guests not to feed the dolphins or turtles, as human food can harm them.
The tour lasts about five hours and may take a bit longer during the long summer days. On the boat, you’ll find comfortable sunbathing areas on the upper deck and shaded places below for those who prefer to stay out of the sun.
This is a perfect day for families, couples, or solo travelers looking to relax, explore, and enjoy the beauty of Side and the Mediterranean coast.

(5.0)Danke für eine tolle Tour!
Toller Ausflug, der sofort weiterempfohlen wurde. Es war einwandfrei organisiert und alles hat super geklappt, obwohl ich erst skeptisch war, da ich den Ausflug direkt im Internet gebucht habe. Einfach super für Familien mit Kind.

Świetnie zorganizowana wycieczka, Załoga z marketingu i nastawienia na zysk powinna dostać celujący :) Bawiliśmy się wspaniale, szkoda że nie było delfinów ale natury nie oszukasz i nie zależy to od nikogo. Polecam dokonywać zakupu bezpośrednio u firmy Vigo, różnicę w cenie można wydać na drinki i napoje. Pozdrawiam

Zu empfehlen, die Touren sind den Preis wert. Wir haben auf unserer Bootstour zwar leider keine Delphine gesehen, dafür aber mehrere Meeresschildkröten..

(5.0)Как мы сегодня прикольно съездили на корабле от компании Vigo Tours покататься
Из Сиде абсолютно не далеко было до нашего кораблика. Все по времени, хорошо организовано! Останавливались в очень красивых местах, было пару остановок на плавание. На обед предлагают рыбку гриль или курицу, кстати очень вкусные блюда! И они включены в стоимость тура! Река Манавгат бирюзового цвета, благодаря этому получаются шикарные фотографии. Ребята на корабле все гостеприимные, хорошие аниматоры! Турецкие танцы заводят вместе с гостями, а затем начинается пенная дискотека! Путешествие очень комфортное и весёлое! Спасибо Vigo Tours!

(3.3)War nichts mit Delphinen Insel
Ausgeschrieben als fährt zur Delphineninsel, bekommen Eine Fahrt durch die Pampa von Manavgat, fährt aufs mehr kurzer Blick auf Side old Town von Meer aus, fährt zurück. 1 Stunde Schaumparty war das einzige Highlight der Fahrt
Reply from Vigo Tours: Thank you very much for your review!
Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung. Wir glauben, dass Sie die folgenden Informationen auf der Tourseite verpasst haben: In der Nebensaison (April und Mai) führt diese Tour je nach Wetterbedingungen möglicherweise nicht zur Insel Karaburun, dies stellt jedoch kein Hindernis dar, während der Tour Delfine im Meer zu sehen. Die Bootstour dauert an der Mündung des Flusses Manavgat und rund um Side mit vielen Schwimmpausen. Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Vigo Tours
