The Aqualand and Dolphinland complex sits in the Konyaaltı district of Antalya, roughly 10–15 km from the city centre — a short private transfer that usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic and the season. It's a full family day of slides, pools and shade, and it pairs beautifully with Konyaaltı beach just below.
The simplest way to do it with children in tow is door to door: a private driver collects you from your hotel, gets you there without the queues and connections of public transport, and is ready to take a tired, sun-happy family home at the end. No dripping walk to a bus stop, no waiting in the heat.
What you'll find at Antalya's water parks
Antalya has more than one place to get wet. The best-known is the large aqua park in Konyaaltı, part of a leisure complex that also includes a dolphin and sea-life area, so families often stitch the two together into a single outing. Along the wider coast — towards Belek, Side and Alanya — there are other big aqua parks attached to resort areas, each with its own mix of tube slides, lazy rivers, wave pools and gentler splash zones for little ones.
Because layouts, attractions and the show schedule at the sea-life area change from season to season, check the current opening times and admission fees before you go rather than relying on old blog numbers. Bring water shoes, plenty of sun cream and a change of clothes — the day tends to run long once children are in the water.
Where it is and how to get there
Konyaaltı is Antalya's western seafront district, sitting below the cliffs of the city with the Beydağları mountains as a backdrop. From central Antalya or Kaleiçi it's roughly 10–15 km; from Lara and the eastern hotels it's a longer run right across the city, so allow extra time in high season. Real drive times shift with traffic, holiday crowds and the time of day, so treat any figure as approximate.
If you're arriving on holiday and heading straight for the coast, it's worth reading our complete airport transfer guide first, and — if you're based in the city — the Konyaaltı beach transfer guide, since the water park and the beach share the same corner of town.
What to combine it with
Konyaaltı is one of the easiest areas in Antalya to build a full day around. The long pebble-and-sand beach is a short hop from the water park, so many families do slides in the morning and the sea in the afternoon. The city's excellent aquarium is also nearby, making a natural indoor break from the midday heat — see our Antalya museum and attractions transfer guide for how these city sights connect.
If you'd rather chase water in the wild on another day, a private transfer opens up the region: cooler day trips to the Manavgat waterfall, or coastal boat days from Side. For a full aquatic weekend, sister trips like a boat trip to Green Canyon or white-water rafting in Köprülü Canyon take the theme up a notch.
Who a water-park day suits
This is a day for families — toddlers in the splash zones, older kids on the tube slides, parents alternating between the lazy river and a shaded lounger. It also works well for groups of friends and multi-generational holidays, where a grandparent might prefer the sea-life area and calmer pools while the teenagers hit the fast slides. Because you're carrying towels, bags, buggies and sleepy children, having your own vehicle waiting makes the difference between a lovely day and a fraught one.
How the transfer works
We're a private transport service, not a tour operator — our job is simply to get you there comfortably and bring you back. You agree a fixed price when you book, your driver meets you at your hotel, and free child and infant seats are fitted on request so the little ones travel safely. On the return leg the driver can be timed to your plans, or you can arrange a set pickup for the end of the day. It's your own vehicle, door to door, with WhatsApp support if anything changes.
Prefer more flexibility? A driver for the day lets you combine the water park, the beach and the aquarium at your own pace, with someone waiting each time you're ready to move on. For the current fare, get an instant quote at bookridenow.com/en.

Frequently asked questions
How far is Aqualand from central Antalya?
It's in the Konyaaltı district, roughly 10–15 km from the city centre, which is usually a 20–30 minute drive. Real times vary with traffic and the season, so allow a little extra in the busy summer months.
Can you fit child and infant seats for the transfer?
Yes — free child and infant seats are provided on request. Just tell us the ages and number of children when you book so the right seats are fitted before your driver arrives.
How much does a water-park transfer cost?
The fare depends on your pickup point, group size and whether you want a one-way, return or full-day driver. Enter your details for an instant fixed-price quote at bookridenow.com/en — the price you're quoted is the price you pay.
Can the driver wait and take us back afterwards?
Yes. You can book a return transfer with a set pickup time, or hire a driver for the day who waits and is ready whenever you are. That's ideal when you're not sure exactly when tired children will be ready to leave.
Can we combine the water park with Konyaaltı beach or the aquarium?
Absolutely — they're all in the same western corner of Antalya, so a driver for the day makes it easy to hop between the slides, the sea and the aquarium without hunting for parking or waiting for buses.
What should we bring for a day at the water park?
Pack sun cream, water shoes, towels, a change of clothes and refillable water. Check the current opening hours and admission fees before you travel, as these change with the season and we don't quote them here.
Is a private transfer better than public transport for families?
For families with buggies, bags and small children, yes — you go door to door with no changes, no queues in the heat and your own child seats. It's calmer at both ends of a long, sun-filled day.
Do you cover water parks outside the city, towards Belek or Side?
Yes. Besides the Konyaaltı complex there are large aqua parks along the coast, and we run private point-to-point transfers to reach them. Get a quote at bookridenow.com/en for your specific resort and destination.
