    Side safari mix tour with lunch

    Excellent tour. Picked up at 0900 as arranged and introduced to our guide Helene. What a fantastic journey. Mosque, Green lake that was stunning and very green. The aqueduct was amazing 2000 years of history. 35 mile water way bringing fresh water to Side. The Turkish bread taste was excellent and rather tasty. Our guide was very informative and kept up an excellent commentary about everything we could see. Lunch was provided and was tasty. With plenty on offer and the chicken was excellent. Saw a part of Turkey I wouldn't normally see and it is a most beautiful country

    Response from the operator: Dear Guest, What a wonderful and detailed review, thank you! Helene will be absolutely thrilled to read this and we'll make sure she does. The green lake, the ancient aqueduct and the Turkish bread all sound like highlights of a truly memorable day. Really glad the lunch delivered too. Hope to welcome you back to discover more of beautiful Turkey someday! Kind regards 🧿 Tourmania Team

    I really enjoyed the trip! Everything went perfect: information (Whatsapp), transfer, weather, tour guide - nice friendly person, he talked about interesting facts and pointed out facinating views. Greetings to him! Zoo was too exiting to us - we would have like to spend more time there. :) Evelin and 2 teens from Estonia.

    Enjoyable and nice day

    We had a great day with Orange Tours. Our guide Ahmet was a funny and nice guy. Telling very interesting stories about Turkey. History, way of living, fruits, the environment. The boat tour was very nice, the stop to eat a small Turkish pancake was great. I can only recommend this tour!

    Perfect trip. Exactly as advertised and the agent, always available via WhatsApp helped out by ensuring a hotel pick up when our hotel wasn’t on the drop down list.

    Green Canyon Boat Trip and Bus Safari Tour w/Lunch: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Green Canyon Boat Trip and Bus Safari Tour w/Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $29 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 Green Canyon Boat Trip and Bus Safari Tour w/Lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 Green Canyon Boat Trip and Bus Safari Tour w/Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 63 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 Green Canyon Boat Trip and Bus Safari Tour w/Lunch?

    +

    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 Green Canyon Boat Trip and Bus Safari Tour w/Lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Green Canyon Boat Trip and Bus Safari Tour w/Lunch?

    +

    Around 22 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Green Canyon Boat Trip and Bus Safari Tour w/Lunch 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 Green Canyon Boat Trip and Bus Safari Tour w/Lunch?

    +

    Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Green lake boat trip; Professional guide; Lunch; and Bus Safari. Not included: Drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Green Canyon Boat Trip and Bus Safari Tour w/Lunch include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 63 listed pickup locations in and around Side. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Green Canyon Boat Trip and Bus Safari Tour w/Lunch offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Green Canyon Boat Trip and Bus Safari Tour w/Lunch?

    +

    Is Green Canyon Boat Trip and Bus Safari Tour w/Lunch wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Green Canyon Boat Trip and Bus Safari Tour w/Lunch if the weather is bad?
