Side-Turkey.

Staying in Kumkoy? Our morning pick-up for the Green Canyon boat tour runs at around 08:55, confirmed the evening before because it shifts hotel to hotel along the strip. From Kumkoy the price is EUR 43 per adult and EUR 30 per child, hotel transfer included. The drive up to the Oymapinar marina takes roughly 30 to 50 minutes through Manavgat.

Where Kumkoy sits and why the transfer is short

Kumkoy is the beach strip just west of Side, right by the Manavgat river mouth, and that spot on the map is what keeps this transfer short. The Green Canyon is the Oymapinar reservoir, calm freshwater about 12 km north of Manavgat town, and the road up to the marina from Kumkoy runs straight through Manavgat centre. Because Kumkoy sits so close to that turn-off, the driver reaches the Oymapinar marina in roughly 30 to 50 minutes, the exact figure set by where your hotel falls along the strip and how heavy the Manavgat traffic runs the morning we travel.

I run this operation myself, Murat Atalay Excursions and Tours, based in Side and Manavgat, so the Kumkoy timings on this page are mine and not lifted from a booking desk. When I say the run to the marina is short, it is because I drive that Kumkoy loop and the Manavgat road most mornings of the season.

What time we collect you in Kumkoy

The Kumkoy pick-up runs at around 08:55. That is a strip-wide time, not a fixed reading for every door on the Kumkoy seafront. One vehicle works through the Kumkoy hotels in sequence, so your own moment on the pavement lands a few minutes either side of 08:55. We confirm your exact time the evening before by message, because the order of the Kumkoy stops changes with how many guests we carry and which hotels they are in that day. If no confirmation has reached you by the night before, message us and we will read your Kumkoy slot back to you.

Be outside at your hotel entrance a few minutes early. The driver holds a tight line through the rest of the Kumkoy hotels, and one late guest pushes every later stop back down the strip. If you are ready and visible, the whole Kumkoy run stays on time and you reach the marina with room to spare before the boat.

Hotels we collect from in Kumkoy

Below is the full list of Kumkoy hotels on our Green Canyon route. If your hotel is here, we come to you and you make your own way nowhere. If your hotel is not listed, message us before you book, because most Kumkoy properties sit a short reach from a stop we already make on the strip and we can usually slot you in.

Every Kumkoy hotel above is a free pick-up folded into the tour price. To book, choose your date on the Green Canyon boat tour page and reserve without prepayment; we take your Kumkoy hotel name and confirm the collection time by message the night before.

How the Kumkoy pick-up run works

One vehicle does the whole Kumkoy loop, not a separate car per hotel. It starts at the first Kumkoy stop for that morning and threads west to east through the strip picking up the rest, then joins the Manavgat road and climbs to the marina. So the 08:55 figure is a guide, not a promise for your specific Kumkoy door: near the front of the loop you leave a touch earlier, near the tail of it a few minutes later. Everyone still lands at the Oymapinar marina together with time before the boat.

A shared Kumkoy run only holds if each stop is quick. Have your family together and your bag packed before the vehicle reaches your entrance. One guest still finishing breakfast when the driver pulls up delays the Kumkoy guests already aboard, so we ask each hotel to be out and ready at the confirmed time.

What to have ready before the driver arrives

Bring swimwear under your clothes so you drop straight into the freshwater when we reach the lake, plus a towel, sun cream and a warm layer for the shaded stretches of the canyon, where water and air stay cool even at the height of the Kumkoy summer. Bring cash if you plan to buy restaurant drinks or alcohol at the platform, since those sit outside the price.

• Swimwear worn under your clothes, and a towel
• Sun cream, sunglasses and a light layer for the shaded canyon
• Cash for restaurant drinks and any alcohol, which are excluded
• Your Kumkoy hotel name ready so we can match you to the pick-up list

Leave the lunch and the fishing gear at the hotel. Lunch and fishing equipment at the platform are both included, and soft drinks are unlimited on board through the day.

What the day on the water looks like

Once the Kumkoy loop is done we climb through Manavgat to the Oymapinar marina, where the boats wait on the reservoir. The Green Canyon is calm freshwater walled by steep green slopes, with quiet inlets where the boat pauses so you swim straight off the deck. A fishing platform serves lunch and holds the fishing equipment. The pace is slow; this is a swimming and sun day, not a thrill ride, which is why it lands well with the families filling the Kumkoy hotels.

If you would rather a quieter deck, we run a music-free catamaran so you hear the water and the birds over a speaker. Soft drinks are unlimited on board and included; only restaurant drinks and alcohol are charged at the platform.

Green Canyon prices by departure point

What you pay turns on where your transfer starts, since the drive length and boat option differ by pick-up point. Your Kumkoy price is EUR 43 per adult and EUR 30 per child. Here is how the current 2026 Green Canyon options compare across departure points.

Want the dam as well? We also run a Green Canyon and Oymapinar Dam tour from Kumkoy that pairs the reservoir cruise with the Oymapinar Dam, the wall that holds the lake back. It is a longer day than the standard boat tour and the pick from Kumkoy if you want to see how the reservoir is formed rather than only cruise it.

Why book direct from Kumkoy

Book direct and you deal with the people who drive the Kumkoy route and run the boats, not a middle desk. We know your Kumkoy hotel, we know how the Manavgat traffic thickens near breakfast, and we set the Kumkoy pick-up order ourselves each day. Reserve without prepayment on the Green Canyon boat tour page, and where the option shows you can pay on the day. Give us your Kumkoy hotel name at booking, watch for the confirmation message the night before, and be outside the entrance for around 08:55.
