About the Attractions

Yacht Tour to Dolphin Island from Side

• Don't miss the opportunity to embark on a true sea adventure with the Yacht Tour to Dolphin Island from Side. Enjoy your time alone, with family, or friends, admiring the picturesque Turkish coastline and swimming in the pristine sea water.
• Manavgat – the third-largest water artery in Turkey, stretches 93 kilometers, originating from the western slopes of the Taurus Mountains and fed by numerous underground springs. Thanks to these springs, the river water is crystal clear and very cold. Even on hot days, its temperature remains at +10 degrees Celsius.
• During the 45-minute swim, you can personally experience the contrast between the cold river water and the warm sea water.
• After a hearty lunch of national dishes, the yacht will continue its journey towards Dolphin Island.
• This small, uninhabited island lies in the middle of the sea. The water here is so clear that you can see the rocky bottom. The island is named for the frequent visits by dolphins and large sea turtles. We cannot guarantee you will see them, but there's a good chance!
• Throughout the sea voyage, you will also enjoy an entertaining program from a team of professional animators.
