The Cheapest Green Canyon Tour Costs €33 — and So Does the Other One
If you are hunting for the cheapest Green Canyon tour, here is the answer up front: €33 per adult, €18 per child aged 3 to 11. That is the price of the Green Canyon Catamaran Tour, and it is also the price of the Green Canyon Boat Tour. There is no budget version and no premium upsell — just two tours at one flat price, hotel pickup included, nothing to pay until tour day.
This guide explains what €33 buys, how the family maths works out, and how to recognise listings where the advertised price is not the price you actually pay.
What €33 Actually Buys You
Green Canyon is the emerald reservoir behind the Oymapınar Dam near Manavgat, in the Antalya region. Picture a calm, sheltered lake wrapped in pine-covered canyon walls — this is not the sea, so there are no waves and no seasickness, just still, crystal-clear mountain water. Both tours cruise this reservoir at the same price, so the choice is about time, not money.
Green Canyon Catamaran Tour — 2.5 hours
The catamaran is the compact option: two and a half hours of gliding through the canyon, with time to swim in the cool, clear water — or simply watch from the deck; swimming is optional. Read our catamaran vs boat tour comparison if you are torn between the two.
Green Canyon Boat Tour — 4.5 hours with lunch
The boat tour is the longer day out: four and a half hours on the water, and the only one of the two that includes lunch on board. Same €33, more time on the reservoir, and a meal at no extra charge — the better fit if Green Canyon is your main plan for the day.
Family Pricing: Children Aged 3–11 Pay €18
The child rate applies on both tours, and the arithmetic is refreshingly easy:
- 2 adults + 2 children: €33 + €33 + €18 + €18 = €102
- 2 adults + 1 child: €84
- 1 adult + 1 child: €51
The calm, sheltered water suits younger kids too, and nobody has to swim — watching from the deck is fine. Our guide to visiting Green Canyon with kids covers the practical details.
No Hidden Fees — What That Actually Means
Everyone says "no hidden fees"; here is what it means in practice on our tours:
- Hotel pickup and drop-off are included. There is no separate transfer charge added at checkout.
- Lunch is included on the 4.5-hour boat tour. It is part of the €33, not a paid add-on.
- You pay on the day of the tour. Booking costs nothing up front, and confirmation is instant.
- Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before departure. Plans change on holiday; the price of changing yours is zero.

How to Spot Listings That Hide the Real Price
A general warning, not a swipe at anyone in particular: in popular holiday destinations, some listings are built so the number you see first is not the number you pay. When comparing any excursion, watch for these patterns:
- "From" prices with no final figure. If the real total only appears after you choose a date, group size and pickup point, treat the headline as marketing, not a price.
- Transfers sold separately. A tour can look cheap until hotel pickup is added as a paid extra at checkout.
- Meals as unclear add-ons. "Lunch available" is not the same as "lunch included" — ask which it is before you book.
- No child price displayed. Families should be able to calculate their exact total before paying; if the child rate is missing, ask for it in writing.
- Prepayment with vague refund terms. If you must pay everything in advance, make sure the cancellation policy is spelled out rather than implied.
A hidden price is not automatically a scam — but it does make honest comparison impossible. The fix: get the total for your exact party, in writing, with inclusions listed, before paying anyone anything.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the cheapest Green Canyon tour cost?
The cheapest Green Canyon tour costs €33 per adult and €18 per child aged 3 to 11, and that price is identical whether you choose the 2.5-hour Green Canyon Catamaran Tour or the 4.5-hour Green Canyon Boat Tour, which also includes lunch on board.
Are there any hidden fees on Green Canyon tours?
No — with our tours the €33 adult and €18 child price is the final price you pay: it covers hotel pickup and return, the full cruise on the Oymapınar reservoir, swimming time in the canyon, and lunch on board if you take the 4.5-hour boat tour.
How much is a Green Canyon tour for children?
Children aged 3 to 11 pay €18 on both Green Canyon tours, which means a family of two adults and two children pays €102 in total, two adults with one child pay €84, and hotel pickup for the whole family is included in those figures.
Do I have to pay in advance to get the lowest price?
No — you book online or by WhatsApp with instant confirmation, pay nothing until the day of the tour itself, and if your plans change you can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before departure, so the €33 price carries no financial risk at booking.
Is hotel pickup included in the €33 price?
Yes — hotel pickup and drop-off are included in the €33 tour price, with daily collections from Side, Kumköy, Manavgat, Titreyengöl and more than a dozen other resort areas, Alanya pickups running daily through the summer season, and Belek and Antalya served on Mondays and Thursdays.
Which Green Canyon tour is cheaper — the catamaran or the boat tour?
Neither is cheaper — the 2.5-hour catamaran tour and the 4.5-hour boat tour both cost exactly €33 per adult and €18 per child, so the real decision is whether you want a shorter scenic cruise or a longer day on the water with lunch included. If money is the deciding factor, relax: it cannot be.
