Avsallar – Lion Park – Green Canyon
We confirm your exact pickup time after booking. Depending on the day you are collected by bus or directly by jeep, and the route runs west along the coast towards Manavgat, where the Lion Park is the first stop.
With the keepers you walk past the lion families and meet the park’s other residents – bears, monkeys and deer; a photo with the young lions is available for a small extra fee. Then the jeeps head off-road into the hills of the Green Canyon, stopping for panoramic photos and for the water fights between the vehicles that leave everyone soaked. At midday you reach the lake for lunch – chicken, pasta, rice and salads – and a swim, followed by a short boat ride on the emerald water. To finish, the crew turns up the music for a foam party; quiet seats are available for anyone who prefers to watch. You are back in Avsallar in the late afternoon.
What to bring
- Swimwear, a towel and a change of clothes – you will get wet.
- A waterproof bag for your phone and camera.
- Cash for drinks and the optional photo session.
- Sunscreen and a hat for the park and the lake.
