Staying in Kizilagac and eyeing the Green Canyon boat tour? We collect you from your hotel door at around 08:30, confirmed the evening before because the exact minute shifts hotel to hotel. The drive to the Oymapinar marina runs roughly 30 to 50 minutes through Manavgat. Prices start at EUR 35 per adult and EUR 20 per child, transfers included.

Where Kizilagac sits, and why 08:30 works

Kizilagac is a big-resort belt on the eastern edge of the Manavgat district, past the town and out toward the Alanya road. From here the transfer heads back into Manavgat, crosses the river, then climbs north to the Oymapinar reservoir where the catamarans wait. The Manavgat town stretch is the variable bit: morning traffic through its junctions is what turns a quick run into a slightly longer one, which is why the marina drive lands anywhere between 30 and 50 minutes depending on where along the Kizilagac strip your hotel sits.

The 08:30 window is built backwards from the boat. The catamarans leave the marina at 10:00, so we set the Kizilagac collection early enough that you reach the pontoon with time to pick a seat rather than chase a departing boat. The Oymapinar reservoir itself is calm freshwater, about 12 km north of Manavgat town, walled in by pine ridges. It is a dammed canyon, not open sea, so the water stays flat the whole way.

Kizilagac pick-up time: what "around 08:30" really means

Around 08:30 is the region-level guide time for the Kizilagac strip. Your exact slot is confirmed the evening before by our office, and it moves hotel to hotel because one minibus works the whole belt in sequence. Whichever hotel is first on that morning's loop goes a little before 08:30; the last one on the run goes a little after. We do not print a fixed clock minute per hotel here, because a single vehicle threading a dozen Kizilagac resorts cannot hit twelve identical times, and an honest window beats a number we would then break.

Be in your hotel lobby, bags ready, about ten minutes ahead of the time we give you. If the driver is briefly held at an earlier resort, stay in the lobby and we will reach you. If anything looks unclear the night before, one message to us clears it up. You can reserve the Green Canyon boat tour with no prepayment, so locking in your date early costs nothing up front.

Hotels we collect from in Kizilagac

Below is the full Kizilagac list on our Green Canyon pick-up loop. If your resort is here, free door collection is already in the price. If you are at a smaller aparthotel or a villa near these names but not on the list, send us the hotel name and we will almost always slot you into the same loop or set a nearby meeting point.

These are large family resorts and several sit within a few minutes of each other, so the collection order changes with each day's bookings. That is exactly why we confirm your personal time the night before instead of weeks ahead.

How the Kizilagac pick-up actually works

One vehicle handles the Kizilagac loop. It starts at whichever resort is first on that morning's route and works down the belt, taking a couple of guests here and a family there until the minibus is full, then turns for Manavgat and the marina. That is why your time is a window and not a fixed minute: move the running order by one hotel and every stop after it shifts too.

Have your booking confirmation on your phone, sun cream on before you leave, and a towel and swimwear in a small bag. Carry a little cash in euros or lira for restaurant drinks and any extras at the platform. Everything on the water side is handled for you; your only job is to be in the lobby on time. To hold a place, you can book the Green Canyon tour now with free hotel pick-up and pay on the day.

What the Green Canyon day looks like from Kizilagac

Once your Kizilagac loop is done, you drive back through Manavgat and up to the Oymapinar reservoir. The catamaran leaves the marina at 10:00 and spends around four and a half hours on the water, cruising the flooded canyon between steep pine slopes with swim stops in the cool freshwater. Soft drinks are unlimited onboard, lunch is served at the platform, and fishing equipment is there if you fancy a cast. There is a music-free catamaran option if you would rather have the quiet of the canyon than a party boat, which suits many of the families booking from the Kizilagac resorts.

Restaurant drinks and alcohol are not in the tour price, so keep a little cash aside for those. The swimming is in flat reservoir water rather than open sea, which makes this an easy day for children and for anyone who dislikes choppy boat trips.

Green Canyon prices by departure point

The price depends on where you set off and which version you take. From Kizilagac the direct option is the Side-area catamaran, the entry price below. Here is how the 2026 Green Canyon prices compare across departure points so you can see where Kizilagac fits.

Want the longer version with the dam? Look at the Green Canyon and Oymapinar Dam tour, which runs about seven hours and pairs the boat cruise with the Oymapinar Dam viewpoint. From Kizilagac we can route you onto that option too; the pick-up simply feeds into the Evrenseki-side departure.

Free hotel pick-up sits inside every price on this page, so what you see is what you pay, minus your restaurant drinks on the day. If your plans are still loose, reserve with no prepayment now and firm the date later; it keeps your seats without tying up any money.
