Green Lake Mix Tour Antalya: Catamaran & Waterfalls

One day threading waterfalls, ruins and a mountain lake into a single route

The Green Lake Mix Tour is a nine-hour guided day trip in Antalya that strings together five distinct stops: a photo halt at Green Canyon, a one-hour catamaran ride across Green Lake after lunch, the ancient city of Seleukia, an orange orchard, and Manavgat Waterfall. The tour includes lunch, a live English or German-speaking guide, and hotel pickup from Side, Kumköy, Evrenseki, Çolaklı, Gündoğdu or Titreyengöl. You can also meet the group in Side Center instead. Entrance fees to attractions are not included and paid separately.

The experience

How do you fit a waterfall, a thousand-year-old ruin, a working orange grove and a lake into one morning without feeling rushed? This tour banks on sequence: you start at Green Canyon for photos of the Oymapınar Dam, then move to lunch at a restaurant overlooking Manavgat Dam (also called Green Lake). After eating, you board a catamaran for an hour on the water. The lake itself is the main event here, not a quick pass-through. The boat ride gives you time to sit with the view instead of chasing the next checkpoint.

The afternoon splits between three stops that show different layers of the region. Seleukia is an archaeological site with well-preserved ruins. Your guide walks you through what the ancient city was and why it mattered. The orange orchard comes next. You walk among the trees, learn how they're grown, and taste fresh fruit. Then Manavgat Waterfall, where water drops into the river below and you have time to photograph it and stand in the spray if you want. A mosque visit rounds out the cultural side before the drive back to your hotel.

The tour runs nine hours total. Your guide speaks English or German depending on the group. Hotel pickup is included if you book that option. If you choose to meet in Side Center instead, you skip the transfer but still get the full day. Lunch is in the itinerary. Drinks and entrance fees to the attractions are separate costs you'll pay on the day. Infants can sit on a lap or ride in a stroller if you're bringing one.

Top questions

What languages is the guide in?

Live guide in English and German.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (5 to 10 years); Infant (under 5): free.

What exactly happens during the catamaran ride on Green Lake?

You board after lunch at the restaurant by Manavgat Dam and spend one hour on the water. The catamaran crosses the tranquil lake, giving you time to take in the scenery and the surrounding landscape without stopping at specific points. It's the ride itself that's the draw.

Can I see Manavgat Waterfall up close, or is it just a photo stop?

Manavgat Waterfall is a full stop where you have ample time to explore. You can walk around the cascade, take photos, and experience the water up close as it tumbles into the river below.

What's included in the lunch, and where do we eat?

Lunch is served at a restaurant near Manavgat Dam overlooking Green Lake. The meal is included in the tour price. Drinks are not and are paid separately at the restaurant.

Do I need to pay extra to enter the ancient ruins and the orange orchard?

Yes. Entrance fees to Seleukia ancient city, the orange orchard, and other attractions are not covered by the tour price and are paid on the day when you visit each site.

Which towns does hotel pickup cover, and can I meet the group somewhere instead?

Pickup is available from hotels in Side, Kumköy, Evrenseki, Çolaklı, Gündoğdu, and Titreyengöl. If you prefer not to be picked up, you can meet the group in Side Center and join from there.
