Overview

Escape the hustle and bustle of city life with the Alanya Green Canyon Boat Trip, a full-day excursion into the emerald heart of the Taurus Mountains. Located just a short drive from Alanya, the Green Canyon (Oymapınar Dam) is one of the few places in the world where you can cruise through a breathtaking canyon on a lake. This tour is the ultimate choice for families, couples, and nature lovers looking for a tranquil day surrounded by lush landscapes, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and fresh mountain air.

Why Choose the Green Canyon Tour from Alanya?

Unlike the salty Mediterranean waves, the Green Canyon offers a calm, freshwater experience that is rejuvenating and peaceful. Our tour is meticulously organized to provide a seamless adventure:

  • Emerald Waters & Majestic Cliffs: Sail through the 14-kilometer-long canyon with rock walls rising up to 200 meters.

  • Family-Friendly Atmosphere: The calm waters make it safe and enjoyable for all ages, from toddlers to seniors.

  • Swimming in the Lake: Take a refreshing dip in the cool, mineral-rich waters of the Green Lake.

  • Breathtaking Photography: Capture the rare Brown Fish Owl or wild mountain goats against the backdrop of vibrant green forests.

  • All-Inclusive Convenience: We take care of everything—from Alanya hotel transfers and a delicious lakeside lunch to unlimited soft drinks.


Alanya Green Canyon Tour Itinerary

1. Morning Pick-up and Scenic Drive

Your journey starts with a comfortable pick-up from your Alanya hotel in a modern, air-conditioned bus. As we drive toward the Taurus Mountains, our professional guides will share interesting facts about the local culture and the engineering marvel of the Oymapınar Dam.

2. Arrival at Oymapınar Dam

Before boarding the boat, we stop at the dam’s panoramic viewpoint. As Turkey’s fifth-highest dam, it offers a spectacular vantage point for photos of the vast "Green Lake" stretching out below.

3. Grand Canyon Boat Cruise

Board our spacious boat and set sail into the heart of the canyon. The silence of the nature, broken only by the sound of the water, creates a meditative environment. You will navigate through narrow passages where the sunlight plays beautifully on the emerald-colored water.

4. Lakeside Lunch & Relaxation

Midday, we dock at a charming lakeside restaurant for a freshly prepared BBQ lunch. Enjoy grilled chicken, meatballs, or fish served with rice and salad while overlooking the tranquil water. After lunch, you have free time to sunbathe on the deck or dive back into the lake for another swim.

5. Return Journey to Alanya

After a final relaxing cruise through the lower canyon, we return to the pier. Our bus will be waiting to transport you back to your hotel in Alanya, arriving just in time for your evening plans, feeling completely refreshed.


Tips for the Perfect Adventure

  • What to Pack: Bring your swimsuit, towel, and plenty of sunscreen.

  • Footwear: Comfortable sandals or water shoes are recommended.

  • Camera Gear: Ensure your phone or camera is charged; the reflections on the water are world-class.

  • Hydration: Unlimited soft drinks are included, but feel free to bring your own reusable water bottle.

We had such a blast on the Green Canyon Boat Trip! My kids were mesmerized by the stunning views and didn't complain about boredom even once, which is huge! The lunch was pretty tasty, and there were plenty of drink options. It was just delightful to chill in those peaceful waters while surrounded by nature. Don't forget your camera; those cliffs make amazing pic backdrops!
