Side Dolphin Boat Trip from Evrenseki: The Night Before and the Morning
Between Çolaklı and Kumköy, Evrenseki is in the middle of the western half of the belt. The trip is the same from here as from anywhere else on it; what makes the difference is a little preparation.
Short answer
Guests in Evrenseki are collected from their hotel by an air-conditioned vehicle, with the transfer included in the fare. The one thing you wait for is the pickup time, which we send the day before by phone or WhatsApp. Have your bag ready that evening, be at the meeting point on time, and the boat does the rest from 10:00.
Evrenseki's place in the belt
Read the coast from west to east and Evrenseki comes third: Gündoğdu, Çolaklı, then Evrenseki, then Kumköy and Side. It is one of the areas the hotel transfer covers as standard, so there is no extra charge and nothing special to arrange. The order in which hotels are collected on a given morning is the operator's business and changes from day to day; we do not publish it.
The evening before
- Watch your phone. The pickup time and the meeting point arrive by message; reply so we know you have it.
- Lay out swimwear, a towel, sunglasses and high-factor sun cream. Wear the swimsuit under your clothes in the morning.
- Put some euros in cash aside — the fare is paid on the day, and drinks at the bar are extra.
- Tell reception you will be out for the day, so a breakfast or an early start can be arranged if your hotel offers one.
The full packing list is on what to bring.
The morning
Be at the meeting point a few minutes early, so the morning starts calmly. Once aboard the transfer, you are on your way to the river, where the boat leaves at 10:00. That is the boat's time, not yours: your hotel time is the one in the message.
If the time you received looks wrong, or nobody has arrived when it was due, message us on WhatsApp at +90 536 603 75 84 straight away rather than waiting.
What the day holds
Down the calm Manavgat river, a first swim where it meets the sea, a BBQ lunch on deck, the long swim at Dolphin Island — where wild dolphins and turtles live, though nobody can promise them — a last dip and the foam party home. The boat is back at the harbour around 16:30–17:00, and the transfer returns you to Evrenseki. See the day, stop by stop.
Adults pay €21, and the booking takes a minute: reserve from Evrenseki.
