Three age rows, nothing else
The price depends on one thing: the age of each guest on the day of the trip. There is no season surcharge, no weekend rate and no separate price for the transfer. A seat for anyone aged 11 or over is €21; a seat for a child aged 2 to 10 is €15; a child aged 1 or younger comes along free.
The booking form asks for the number of guests in each row and charges exactly these figures. What the summary shows before you confirm is what you pay on the day.
What the fare pays for
The round trip between your hotel and the harbour, in an air-conditioned vehicle, from anywhere in the Side belt and Manavgat town.
The whole boat day: the river, the swim at the Boğaz river mouth, Dolphin Island (Yunus Adası) and the last swim.
Lunch from the BBQ, eaten on deck — chicken off the grill with rice or pasta, a fresh salad and bread.
The foam party, the music and the rest of the entertainment on board.
Professional guiding on board and full-day travel insurance.
The fare buys the day at sea, not a sighting. Dolphins and Caretta caretta turtles live in these waters, but they are wild and no price can include them.
What is bought on board, if you want it
We do not quote prices for any of these, because the operator has not published any and we will not guess. Skip all four and the fare is the whole bill. Bring some euros in cash if you expect to want a drink. The full list sits on the what costs extra page.
Drinks: the bar sells cold soft drinks and alcohol. Lunch comes without a drink.
The all-inclusive drinks package, offered on the boat as an option.
Professional photos of your day, also optional.
Your own spending and souvenirs.
Worked examples for families
Two adults: 2 × €21.
Two adults and one child aged 2 to 10: 2 × €21, plus €15 for the child.
Two adults, one child in the 2–10 row and a toddler aged 1 or under: 2 × €21, plus €15; the toddler is free.
A teenager aged 11 or over counts as an adult: €21.
The form adds the rows for you and shows the total before you confirm. Book by the age each child will be on the trip date.
How and when you pay
Reserving costs nothing. You choose the date, the guests and your hotel, leave a phone number and confirm; no card is asked for and no deposit is taken. The full amount is settled in euros when the trip happens. A booking takes up to 20 guests; a larger party sends us a request.
Plans change on holiday. Until 48 hours ahead of departure you may cancel at no cost; one WhatsApp message or a reply to the confirmation is enough. How the form works, step by step, is on the booking guide.
