The Green Canyon jeep safari tour from Alanya is a fun-filled and adventurous safari experience organized in the Green Canyon area, located on the foothills of the Taurus Mountains, around the natural wonder Oymapınar Dam built on the Manavgat River. Our Green Canyon tour is operated with open-top Land Rover jeeps or cabrio minibuses.
During this canyon safari tour, you will be impressed by the unique nature of the region, forest-covered mountains, and the emerald-green lake created by the Oymapınar Dam. You will enjoy peaceful and relaxing moments surrounded by nature. Located approximately 80 km from Alanya, this beautiful area offers breathtaking views of pine-covered Taurus Mountain slopes and stunning dam lake scenery.
Along the Green Canyon jeep safari route, you will have the chance to see the ancient Roman aqueducts dating back to the 2nd century AD. These aqueducts once carried water from the source of the Manavgat River to the ancient city of Side on the coast and have remarkably survived until today.
Our program also includes a visit to one of the villages in the Green Canyon–Oymapınar region of Manavgat, known as the land of the Nomad people. Here, you can see local villagers wearing traditional clothes and learn more about the nomad culture and lifestyle.
Another interesting stop of our safari tour is a small local zoo, where you can see some domestic and wild animals living in the green canyon region. You will also have the opportunity to see the kings of the forest — lions and their cubs — and even hold and pet these adorable lion cubs.
At the lower part of Green Canyon, a peaceful boat tour of approximately one hour on the Green Lake is included in the program. Guests who wish can also swim in the lake to cool off. Lunch is served at our lakeside restaurant, offering beautiful mountain and lake views.
The Green Canyon jeep safari tour from Alanya perfectly combines adventure, nature, and fun, offering much more than you would expect from a daily tour. We highly recommend trying this unforgettable experience.
