City of Side: Jeep Safari & Green Lake Boat Trip with Lunch - Taurus Mountains Off-Road, Lake View Photos, and Roman Aqueduct Break

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 2,919 reviews · 6 - 7 hours · from $19Our pick

From Side, enjoy a jeep off-road through Green Canyon and Green Lake, with lunch, optional boat trip, and Manavgat Falls.

“Overall, the experience was a 10/10. The tour guides, Johnny and Miki were super nice, helpful and energetic. They really improved the overall atmosphere of the experience. Our jeep was overbooked for whatever reason so it was a bit cramped, especially during the off reading experience. The lunch that was served was good although the chicken a bit tough. All the places we saw on the tour and the routes to get there were amazing and our driver was really good. Would really recommend this.”

“The activity is good, boat is clean, everything as described I think me and my partner were the only English people on the boat, seemed to be mostly German. There is a recorded message played in English to describe the activities, but some things were relayed in German only, such as the returning coach had broken down and a mini bus service was being provided. We both speak a little German so we understood what was going on, and again there were various other small interactions over the intercom system that were only relayed in German. It wasn't a problem for us, but may be for others, not only English…”
