Westward from Konakli
We confirm your exact pickup time after booking. From Konakli the road runs along the coast past Turkler and Okurcalar towards Manavgat – about an hour – before the jeeps turn inland into the foothills of the Taurus.
The first off-road stretch leads to the stone arches of a Roman aqueduct that once carried water to ancient Side. From a panoramic hill you then look over the canyon and down to the sea, and anyone who likes can visit a small zoo on the way (entrance not included). Between the jeeps the water fights start sooner or later – nobody stays completely dry. The highlight is an hour by boat on the Green Canyon, the dam lake of Oymapınar, with a swim stop of about half an hour in its clear, cool water; life jackets are on board. Lunch is served at a restaurant right by the lake, with more time to swim, and a second off-road section brings you back towards the coast and home to Konakli.
Tips for the day
- Wear swimwear under your clothes and pack a towel.
- Keep your phone in a waterproof pouch for the water fights.
- Drinks, photos and the zoo entrance are paid in cash.
- The tracks are bumpy – not recommended during pregnancy or with back problems.
Pickup and drop-off at your hotel in Konakli, the jeep safari, the boat trip and lunch are included, and you pay on the tour day. Prefer to see the canyon from an open-top bus? See the Green Canyon cabrio safari from Konakli.
