Overview

Cast Off on a Thrilling Morning Escape Along Manavgat’s Stunning Coastline

Escape the ordinary with the Manavgat Speedboat Tour, a fast-paced, scenic half-day journey that blends exhilarating cruising with serene coastal vistas. From observing sea turtles in their natural habitat to swimming where the river meets the sea—and viewing the ancient Apollo Temple by water—this tour offers a refreshing, unforgettable experience on the Mediterranean.

Start Your Day with Ease and Excitement

Your adventure begins at 9:30 AM with a smooth hotel pickup. You’ll be whisked away to Manavgat’s shoreline, where your speedboat awaits. Once aboard, the engine revs up at 10:00 AM and the open sea unfolds before you, offering cool breezes and uninterrupted ocean views.

Glide to Turtle Habitats and Swim at the River Mouth

Within minutes, the boat arrives at a peaceful section of the coast where Caretta Caretta sea turtles glide gently through the water. You’ll have time to take in these majestic creatures and even capture a few photos.

Just beyond, the freshwater meet the saltwater as you hit the mouth of the Manavgat River. Take a refreshing swim where the currents merge and decide whether to float in the calming river or the warm Mediterranean — it’s your choosing!

Sail Past History, Swim in Turquoise Waters

Leaving the river behind, the boat slices through waves toward the legendary Temple of Apollo, Side’s most iconic ruin. You’ll see its columns rise above the shore, offering a unique, majestic perspective from the water.

Before heading back, you’ll anchor in the shallow, crystal-clear isles of Manavgat Bay for one last quick dip under the sun.

End Your Tour by Lunch Time

By 12:15 PM, the boat returns to Manavgat Beach and you’ll be on your way back to your accommodation — just in time to refuel over lunch, with memories of sea, speed, and serenity still vivid in your mind.
