The Tour Program
Here is the schedule for the daytime tour. The program for the sunset tour is similar but a bit shorter. Your private vehicle will pick you up from the security gate of your hotel and take you to Side Harbour, where your gulet is anchored.

The captain and staff will warmly welcome you aboard the boat. The boat will depart from the harbour at 10:00. The captain will give the first swimming break of the tour at Side Bay at around 10:45. Side Bay is the natural habitat of sea turtles, and you are very likely to see large sea turtles called Caretta Caretta here. After a 15-minute break, the boat will move towards the Manavgat River.

The boat will anchor at the mouth of the Manavgat River, where it meets the sea. During this stop, there will be a 1-hour break for swimming and lunch. This location is a great spot to relax and take a dip. You can choose between swimming in the cool river or in the warmer sea.

While you enjoy your swim, the staff will prepare lunch. Lunch is an open buffet with BBQ chicken, fish, pasta, salad, bread, and fruit. There is also a yummy dessert service after lunch. Soft drinks, such as fizzy drinks, iced tea, water, etc., will be free on the boat during lunch and throughout the tour.

After a long break, at around 1:00 pm, the boat will begin sailing into the Manavgat River. After a short river cruise, it will sail back to the open sea. The next part of the tour is a cruise in the open sea called the “Dolphin Chase”. The captain knows the area well and will sail to areas where dolphins are known to appear, though sightings are not guaranteed. If you’re lucky, you may encounter these adorable creatures of the ocean.

Relax on the boat and enjoy a glass of wine with your loved ones during this cruise. The boat will arrive at Cleopatra Beach near the Side Antique town around 2:15 pm, with a 40-minute swimming break. After this last tour break, the boat will sail into Side Harbour. Your private vehicle will then take you back to your hotel, marking the end of this wonderful day out.

This tour is an excellent choice for a memorable activity during your holiday in Side. The boat staff will provide friendly and attentive service throughout the tour.

The cost of this private gulet tour includes hotel transfers in a private vehicle, an open buffet lunch on board, soft drinks during the tour, travel insurance, friendly service from the crew, and complimentary Wi-Fi on the boat.
