An open-air day from Konakli
We confirm your exact pickup time after booking. A shuttle collects you at the hotel and drives west along the coast to the Manavgat area – roughly an hour – where everyone changes to the cabrio bus with its open roof.
Without a roof the ride feels very different from a jeep: smoother, with music, sea breeze and long views over the Taurus foothills. The first stop is a stretch of ancient Roman aqueduct, then a Yörük village where orange and pomegranate trees line the gardens and you hear how the families live from fruit. A small zoo can be visited if you like, and a viewpoint above the lake puts the Green Canyon and the Mediterranean in the same photo. Lunch is at a picnic-style restaurant on the shore, followed by a boat ride with time to swim; canoes or pedal boats are sometimes available too. On the way back the bus stops at the Manavgat Waterfall, where the river drops over a broad rock ledge in a shady park.
Good to know
- On an open bus sun protection matters – cap, sunglasses and sunscreen.
- Put on swimwear in the morning and pack a towel for the lake.
- Water fights are part of the fun – keep electronics in a dry bag.
- Zoo and waterfall entrance fees and drinks are extra, so carry some cash.
Hotel transfers in Konakli, the cabrio safari with guide, lunch and the boat trip are included; payment is made on the day of the tour. Looking for more adventure? Try the Green Canyon jeep safari from Konakli.

Frequently asked questions
What makes a cabrio safari different from a jeep safari?
You ride in an open-top bus rather than a jeep, so the trip is smoother and calmer – a good choice for families and anyone who prefers comfort.
How far is the Green Canyon from Konakli?
The shuttle needs about an hour to the Manavgat area; from there the cabrio bus continues inland to the lake.
Is there time to swim?
Yes, during the boat ride and at the lakeside break after lunch. Bring swimwear and a towel.
Is the cabrio safari good for kids?
Very much so – children love the music and the splashing on the open bus. The child rate applies from 3 to 11 years, and little ones under 3 ride free.
