Green Canyon Tour Prices at a Glance
If you have been searching for the Green Canyon tour price and keep landing on pages that whisper "from…" without ever showing a final number, this article is the antidote. We publish our prices in full, before you enter a single personal detail, because that is how tour pricing should work. Here is exactly what a Green Canyon trip costs, per person, with nothing held back:
- Green Canyon Catamaran Tour (2.5 hours): €33 per adult, €18 per child aged 3 to 11.
- Green Canyon Boat Tour (4.5 hours): €33 per adult, €18 per child aged 3 to 11 — with a freshly prepared lunch served on board, included in the price.
That is the entire price list. There is no surcharge added at checkout, no booking fee, and no surprise on the day. You pay on the day of the tour rather than in advance, and you can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before departure. If anything changes, one message on WhatsApp gets you a fast answer.
Two Tours, One Price — Which Is Better Value?
It surprises some visitors that both trips cost the same €33 per person, because they are quite different experiences. The catamaran tour is a compact 2.5-hour outing on a spacious, modern catamaran — ideal if you want the canyon scenery and a swim without giving up your whole day. The boat tour stretches to 4.5 hours and adds a freshly prepared lunch served on board, so it works out as the stronger deal purely on value per hour: nearly twice the time on the water plus a meal, for the same money.
Neither choice is wrong. Travellers with restless young children or a packed holiday schedule often prefer the shorter catamaran; travellers who want a proper half-day escape usually pick the boat tour. We compare them point by point in our catamaran vs boat tour guide if you are undecided.
What Your €33 Actually Pays For
First, a quick orientation, because it explains the price. Green Canyon is not a sea trip. Both tours cruise the emerald reservoir of the Oymapınar Dam near Manavgat, one of the region's largest reservoirs — calm, sheltered water held between pine-covered canyon walls. Because it is a lake rather than open sea, there are no waves and no seasickness to worry about, which is a real advantage for families and anyone who dreads a rolling deck.
Included on the 4.5-Hour Boat Tour
- Hotel pickup and drop-off from the areas we serve — not a paid extra
- A long, scenic cruise across the reservoir between the canyon walls
- Swimming stops in cool, crystal-clear, calm water — the reservoir is fed by mountain sources, so it stays refreshingly cool even in high summer
- A freshly prepared lunch served on board
Included on the 2.5-Hour Catamaran Tour
- Hotel pickup and drop-off from the areas we serve
- A cruise through the same canyon scenery on a modern catamaran
- A swimming stop in the same cool, clear water
The one meaningful difference to remember: lunch is only served on the 4.5-hour boat tour. The catamaran trip is shorter and does not include a meal, so plan your lunch accordingly if you choose it. Curious about the swim itself? Our guide to swimming in Green Canyon covers water temperature, safety and what to bring.
"No Hidden Fees" — What That Actually Means
A pattern you will notice while comparing tour prices around Side and Alanya: a low headline number to win the click, and then the real cost creeps up. The transfer turns out to be extra. The child price only appears after you have entered your details. The advertised trip quietly excludes the very thing that made you want to book. We built our pricing to do the opposite, and these are the concrete commitments behind it:
- Pay on the day: you reserve your seats online but pay nothing until the day of the tour. No prepayment means booking early carries zero risk.
- Free cancellation up to 24 hours: holiday plans change — weather, moods, spontaneous beach days. Cancel up to 24 hours before and you owe nothing.
- Instant confirmation: you know your booking is secured the moment you complete it, not after a day of waiting.
- Direct price: you book with the operator's own site, so there is no reseller commission stacked on top of the €33.
- Fast answers on WhatsApp: any doubt about pickup, kids, or what to bring gets a quick human reply before you commit.
Hotel Pickup: Where We Collect You From
Hotel pickup and drop-off is part of the tour, and it runs every day from Side, Kumköy, Evrenseki, Sorgun, Titreyengöl, Çolaklı, Kızılağaç, Gündoğdu and Manavgat. If you are staying centrally, see the tour options from Side, or the dedicated pages for Evrenseki, Kızılağaç and Gündoğdu.
Staying further out? Pickup from Alanya runs every day during the summer season, while pickup from Belek and from Antalya operates on Mondays and Thursdays. Your exact pickup time is confirmed with your booking, so you are never left guessing in the hotel lobby.
Is €33 Cheap for What You Get?
Judge it by the maths. On the boat tour, €33 per person buys 4.5 hours on the water, a cooked lunch on board, swimming stops, and door-to-door hotel transport. A family of four — two adults and two children aged 3 to 11 — pays €102 in total for a half-day excursion with everyone fed. Compared with what the same family would spend assembling that day themselves, it is genuinely cheap without being a cut-corners trip.
And if you are hunting for Green Canyon tour deals, here is the honest version: the best deal is simply the direct price with nothing bolted on.

FAQ
Is it cheaper to book the Green Canyon tour online?
Booking online through the operator's own site gets you the direct price — €33 per adult, €18 per child — with no reseller commission added on top. You also keep the strongest conditions: instant confirmation, free cancellation up to 24 hours before, and payment on the day rather than upfront. You will never pay more than the listed price by booking direct.
How much does the Green Canyon tour cost for children?
Children aged 3 to 11 pay €18 on both the 2.5-hour catamaran tour and the 4.5-hour boat tour. For babies and toddlers younger than that, send us a quick WhatsApp message and we will confirm the details for your booking straight away.
Are there any extra costs on the day?
No mandatory ones. The price you see when you book is the price you pay on the day — hotel pickup from the areas we serve is included, and the 4.5-hour boat tour also includes a freshly prepared lunch on board. Anything beyond that is entirely optional spending of your own choosing.
Do I have to pay in advance to reserve my seats?
No. You book online with instant confirmation and pay the full amount on the day of the tour. Combined with free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure, this means reserving early costs you nothing and commits you to nothing.
Does the €33 price include lunch on both tours?
No — this is the one detail worth double-checking before you choose. Lunch is included only on the 4.5-hour Green Canyon Boat Tour, where a freshly prepared meal is served on board. The 2.5-hour catamaran tour costs the same €33 but is a shorter trip without a meal.
