    An unforgettable experience!

    The transfer from the hotel to the ship went smoothly. Our ship was brand new, it was only the third trip! The tour guide and the staff were great. The three swimming breaks were okay in terms of time. Soft drinks on the lower deck were free of charge. The only downsides were the very high prices for snacks on board (7 euros for a can of chips, 4 euros for an ice cream) and that you were not allowed to throw used toilet paper into the toilet bowl, but into the trash can because of the risk of clogging. Definitely bring a diving mask, it costs 15 euros on board! We will definitely repeat the excursion and recommend it to others!

    A day full of adventures

    9 year old son really enjoyed it. He especially liked the foam party 🙂 It was very fun trip. We recommend it to other families too

    Response from the operator: We're so happy to hear that your son had such a great time—especially at the foam party! 😊 Thank you for sharing your experience and for recommending us to other families. We hope to welcome you all back for another fun-filled trip soon!

    Lovely coastal boat trip

    Lovely boat trip with my family on our recent holiday to Turkey. The trip was well organised and we had a transfer to and from our hotel included for a good price. Very friendly team and lunch provided was nice. Although we didn’t see any dolphins we did see some turtles. Thank you.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a amazing rating - it's much appreciated!

    Blau Laguna Boat Tour incl. Transfer and Lunch from Side: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Side.

    How much does Blau Laguna Boat Tour incl. Transfer and Lunch from Side cost?

    +

    Prices start at $30 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Side usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Blau Laguna Boat Tour incl. Transfer and Lunch from Side take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Side is not rushed.

    Is Blau Laguna Boat Tour incl. Transfer and Lunch from Side worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Side, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Blau Laguna Boat Tour incl. Transfer and Lunch from Side?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Blau Laguna Boat Tour incl. Transfer and Lunch from Side suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Blau Laguna Boat Tour incl. Transfer and Lunch from Side?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Side can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Side and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Blau Laguna Boat Tour incl. Transfer and Lunch from Side start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Side within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Side?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Side experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Antalya Quad, Buggy, Rafting & Zipline Tour w/Lunch & Transfer, Green Canyon Jeep and Boat Tour with Lunch, Jeep Safari Adventure around Green Canyon with Boat Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Side?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Side?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Blau Laguna Boat Tour incl. Transfer and Lunch from Side?

    +

    Included: Local guide; Hotel pickup and drop-off; and Lunch. Not included: Drinks; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
