Side Dolphin Island Boat Tour is an enjoyable daily boat trip where you can discover the beautiful beaches and bays of the Side, Manavgat, and Alanya regions, and visit the charming Dolphin Island. This tour offers a relaxing day at sea combined with swimming, sunbathing, and the exciting chance to see dolphins.
The Side and Manavgat region is one of the best locations for boat tours thanks to its clear sea, long sandy beaches, scenic bays, and the famous Manavgat River. One of the most popular excursions in this area is the Side Dolphin Island boat tour, which follows a scenic route from Side towards the western coast of Alanya. The tour takes its name from the small and lovely Dolphin Island, located along the route where dolphins are often seen.
Our boat departs from a private pier on the Manavgat River and first sails along the peaceful river towards the sea. During this relaxing cruise, you may see marine animals such as Caretta Caretta sea turtles swimming in the river and near the delta.
Our first break takes place at the interesting Manavgat Boğaz Beach. This special beach is unique because the fresh water of the Manavgat River meets the salt water of the Mediterranean Sea. Here you can swim in both fresh and salt water. You can also relax on the sandy beach, sunbathe, or enjoy optional water sports such as jet skiing. Lunch is served on the boat during this stop while you enjoy the beautiful natural scenery.
After the break at Manavgat Boğaz, the boat leaves the river and sails east into the Mediterranean Sea towards Alanya. Cruising along the eastern coast of Side, we reach our second swimming stop at the beautiful Karaburun Bay near the Okurcalar region. Karaburun Bay is a hidden paradise where a sandy beach meets green forests. Here you can enjoy swimming in the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean.
Continuing the cruise, our boat reaches the highlight of the tour — Dolphin Island, a small and charming island located near Karaburun Bay. During this stop, you can swim in the clear sea, jump from the boat into the water, or even swim to the island and explore its shoreline. This area is also known as a place where dolphins are frequently spotted, making the experience even more exciting.
After the final swimming break, the boat begins the return journey along the Side and western Alanya coastline, where dolphins are sometimes seen during the cruise. Throughout the Side Dolphin Island boat tour, there are also animations, music, and a fun foam party on board, creating a lively and entertaining atmosphere.
