About the Green Canyon Safari Tour from Alanya
The Green Canyon is a turquoise-coloured canyon that winds between steep slopes around Oymapınar Dam Lake near Manavgat. This tour from Alanya is made for those who want to see the area by boat and swim in the lake.
After pickup from your hotel, the journey to the dam pier takes about an hour and a half. In the first part of the boat trip you sail along the lake and its slopes and stop for a swim. Lunch is then eaten at the restaurant by the lake, and if you like you can try fishing with a rod after the meal. In the second part of the tour the boat passes through the narrower channels of the canyon.
The boat has changing cabins, a toilet and showers. Soft drinks on the boat are included in the price.
