Introduction / Tour Overview

Start your tranquil day at sea with a hotel pickup from Side and surrounding areas including Kumköy, Evrenseki, Çolaklı, Sorgun, and Titreyengöl. After a short scenic drive, you’ll arrive at the dock near the mouth of the Manavgat River, where a spacious double-deck boat awaits.

Your journey begins as the boat sets sail along the stunning coastline, offering panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea and the natural landscapes of the region. This is not a party boat — it’s a peaceful, nature-focused cruise ideal for travelers seeking a relaxing time on the water.

The first stop is the famous BLUE LAGOON, a calm, crystal-clear bay with turquoise waters ideal for swimming and snorkeling. Sheltered by nature, this lagoon is a favorite among families and nature lovers. The second major stop is CARETTA BAY, named after the sea turtles that sometimes grace these waters — so keep your eyes open!

Throughout the day, the boat will pause at various spots along the route, giving you time to swim, sunbathe, and snap photos of the spectacular surroundings. The sundeck is perfect for lounging, while shaded areas offer comfort for those wanting to relax away from direct sun.

A freshly prepared lunch will be served on board and typically includes grilled chicken, rice, and salad — a light, satisfying meal that complements the day’s calm vibe. Vegetarian options are usually available upon request.

This family-friendly boat tour is suitable for all ages and offers a safe, easy-going alternative to party cruises. Our local guides are there to assist you throughout the experience, providing help, information, and peace of mind.

Whether you're traveling as a couple, a family with children, or a solo explorer, the Side Blue Lagoon and Caretta Bay Boat Tour is a refreshing escape into the natural beauty of Turkey's coastline.
