Side: Green Canyon Jeep and Boat Tour with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 2,090 reviews · 8 hours · from $28

Spend eight lively hours between Side, the Taurus Mountains, and Green Lake.

Guides such as Johnny Cash and Miki keep the day playful, while drivers including Alex and Joseph handle the rough roads.

“can honestly say in 38 years of travelling overseas, that this was the best trip I’ve ever done! It has everything!! Thrills, speed, water and more water! The drivers do a brilliant job, keeping you screaming and gasping as they manoeuvre the dusty tracks, but in the safest manner. The water fights are a refreshing need en route - and a laugh too! Biggest shoutout goes to Jonny Cash - the hostess with the mostest! And Miki - who is absolutely crackers! He jumps to and from jeeps and from jeep to jeep all in the pursuit of raising a smile and taking a photo! Spider-Man has nothing on him!!…”

3.City of Side: Green Canyon Jeep Tour, Boat Trip & Waterfall

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,629 reviews · 7 hours · from $21

Ride an open jeep from Side through mountain roads, river crossings, and dusty tracks to Oymapınar Dam and Green Lake.

Guides such as Tom and Jerry keep the day lively, while drivers including Nihat and Nico handle the rough roads.

“We had a great day. Our driver was amazing, fun and playful. If waterfights at high speed sounds fun, then you this is for you. Prepare to get soaked. Also be prepared to pay for bandana, watergun, drinks, video footage, waterfall entry and tip for the driver, all optional of course, but it will enhance the experience so much. You can easily drop the boatride and go swimming by the restaurant instead.”

“We enjoyed the trip very much. The tour guide was very kind and attentive as we were in the minority ( English speaking) She explained everything very well. The bus driver was excellent. He did a fantastic job of steering us around all the hairpin bends. We visited a mosque. It was very interesting. We packed a lot into the day including a visit to the orange farm and to see a waterfall. But the high light was swimming in the Green Lake. There are two opportunities to so. The opportunity is not advertised beforehand so I didn't realise I needed my swimming costume! Perhaps this could be amended in…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 327 reviews · from $18

Drivers speak English or Turkish, and private groups are available. Shows usually run on Thursdays and Saturdays.

“Very good price for what you get. The only thing we didn’t find great was the fact the company didn’t contact us with a pick up time until 1 hour before they were coming for us, therefore we were in a big rush, had I not seen my phone we wouldn’t have known. The couple of pickups after ours we found the people weren’t ready and so we waited atleast 20 extra minutes, making the journey there from our hotel 2 hours; on what should be 50 minutes (before pick ups). With that being said, the park is beautiful, we had lovely food, watched the water show and the boat…”

“What a wonderful day we had. The driver picked us up from the hotel exactly on time. According to the app, pick-up from our address was not possible, but after contact this was still possible. That made a huge difference. The driver of the bus did not say much but occasionally gave some information about the places where they stopped. There was a brief stop at the beautiful Roman aqueduct, at the view of the green lake and at the dam. Everywhere you got the time to take some pictures. Arriving at the boat we were met by the skipper and the guide. What nice guests. Had knowledge of the…”
