Review of Side’s $16 Manavgat River boat tour, with swimming, lunch, waterfall, Grand Bazaar, mosque visit, and hotel transfers.

“Pick up was at an arranged time from our hotel in Side. We were taken to the boat where we were greeted by the friendly staff. The boat trip along the Manavgat river was lovely and scenic, as was the stop at a local beach for a swim in the sea and to try some local gozleme there. The staff prepared a good lunch of chicken or fish, which we ate on the boat, and then we were given a choice to visit a waterfall in Manavgat or go to the bazaar. We went to the bazaar to spend the maximum time of 2.5 hours there and we found some…”

Cruise the Manavgat River from Side, swim where river meets sea, eat lunch on board, and weigh the waterfall and market stops carefully.

“Det startede mega godt ud. Vi fik en kortere bådtur på floden/havet end vi havde regnet med, men den første halvdelen af turen var super. Undervejs blev der solgt billetter til vandfaldene. I informationsoplysningerne stod billetterne til 2 euro, men vi skulle af med 3,5 euro. Halvvejs blev vi “beordret” af båden og videre i bus.m. Det var ikke nævnt nogen steder og ingen nævnte hvad vi skulle før de blev adspurgt, det var meget forjaget og stressende. Vi skulle ud videre til vandfald og markedet i Manavgat. Vandfaldet var mildt talt et lille drop på 2 meter - vi fik 25 min før vi skulle videre til markedet. Der…”

Cruise the Manavgat River, visit its waterfall and bazaar, swim at the river mouth, and enjoy lunch on this Alanya and Side day trip.

“De activiteit naar de waterval was prima alleen alles er omheen was veelste lang. Waardoor de activiteit veel langer duurde dan de 7 uur die doorgegeven was. Als we dit van te voren hadden geweten dan hadden we dit op eigen houtje geregeld. De reisleider was verantwoordelijk voor 4 bussen, vanwege alle lange pauzes wilde wij en het grootste gedeelte van de deelnemers de laatste stop naar de bazaar skippen om weer terug naar het hotel te gaan. Nu waren er 2 bussen waar in totaal 3 mensen de bazaar wilde bezoeken waardoor we allemaal verplicht werden om naar de bazaar te gaan. Wij hebben op dat moment besloten op…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 41 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $46

Review of the Manavgat river cruise from Belek, with waterfall, beach stop, bazaar, transport advice, costs, and honest value tips.

“We did not see the great bazaar on first day in Manavgat. Instead we were brought to the so-called local Oriental Market, very small and so hot in the afternoon that that you hardly could breathe. Afterwards we drove two and outlet Discounter "Diekmann". The boat was not clean, the toilets were dirty, no toilet paper available. The lunch was not great either. If you want to see the great bazaar in Manavgat, please book somewhere else or a private tour. The tour was not according to the description.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 27 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $42

Review of Antalya’s Manavgat day trip, with a river cruise, waterfall, market, lunch, swimming, and practical advice on timing and value.

“I think the itinerary needs to be detailed as we did not know what to expect when they write on the itinerary we’re going to pass Side. We don’t pass it, there are two stops in both this ‘pass by’ which is one to a beach and the second at this fixed rate market first. Pickups start from 7.30am and it can go on until about 9.30am. We were picked up 20 minutes later than our original stated pickup time. You’ll arrive at Manavgat at where the boat is docked at approx 10.30am. we travelled to this side beach and were told to do whatever for 1 hour on the…”

15.Manavgat River Boat Trip, Grand Bazaar Tour with Lunch from Side

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 25 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $42

Review of the Manavgat river boat trip from Side, with waterfall, market, lunch, hotel pickup, costs, timing, and key booking warnings.

“The trip is advertised as all-inclusive which is a lie. 15hours before pick-up they tell you the drinks are not included. We cancelled because of this and were told we would get a full refund for the people that cancelled and the other people would get 33% discount. In the end they told us that those who cancelled will only get a 33% discount because it was past the 24hours mark. Mind you that they deliberately contacted us about the false advertising less than 24hours before the trip. They gave an excuse that they did not update the page during covid times. But it is still advertised as such till…”
