About this activity
This Green Canyon family boat tour from Alanya pairs a calm cruise on Oymapinar Dam Lake with easy swimming stops and a warm lakeside lunch.
Green Canyon Family Boat Tour from Alanya
Some holiday days have to work for a five year old and a grandparent at the same time. This one leaves the Alanya shoreline behind and heads inland to Oymapinar Dam Lake where the water stays flat from morning until late afternoon and the boat moves slowly enough that nobody has to sit still.
Climbing Gently into the Taurus Foothills
The road follows the coast toward Manavgat before turning up between pine slopes. It bends a good deal on the way up so a bottle of water within reach helps younger passengers. Your guide uses the drive to explain how the day is laid out which means children know exactly what comes next.
Where the Water Turns Emerald
Oymapinar is one of the very few dam lakes in Turkiye open to sightseeing boats and the colour of it is what everyone photographs first. Cliffs rise on both sides of the fourteen kilometre gorge. The wooden boat keeps a shaded lower deck for anyone who would rather stay out of the sun and an open top deck for everyone else.
Splashing About in Water Without Waves
The captain anchors in a sheltered stretch so the family can swim straight from the boat. There are no waves and no currents on the lake which makes this far gentler than the open sea for a nervous young swimmer. Life jackets are kept on board and the whole swimming area stays in sight from the deck.
A Long Table Beside the Canyon
Lunch is served at a restaurant on the shore with the lake filling the view. The food is hot and straightforward which usually suits children who have just spent an hour in the water. Afterwards the afternoon belongs to sunbathing a little fishing from the rail and photographs of the canyon walls.
Why the Day Suits Every Age
Infants travel free and children between six and eleven pay a reduced rate. There is no walking route and nothing to climb so grandparents manage the whole programme comfortably. From the first viewpoint to the last stretch of road home the pace never rushes anyone.
Good to know
- Hotel pickup is earlier than the listed start time and is confirmed after your reservation
- The mountain road bends a lot so bring travel sickness tablets if anyone in the family is sensitive
- Pack swimwear towels and dry clothes for the two water stops
- Sun cream and hats matter because the upper deck is open to the sun
- Infants under six travel free and children aged six to eleven pay a reduced rate
- Bring cash for drinks and small extras on board
- Age policy: Adults 12+, children 6-11, infants 0-5.
