Side Boat Tour – Explore Dolphin Island & the Open Sea
Get ready for an unforgettable Side Boat Tour that takes you across the deep blue waters of the Mediterranean. Departing directly from Side’s harbor, this full-day cruise offers the perfect mix of fun, sunshine, and relaxation — ideal for families, couples, and groups of friends. Sail toward the famous Dolphin Island and the open sea of Side, where every moment becomes a memory under the warm Turkish sun.
🐬 Dolphin Spotting & Scenic Views
The highlight of the Side Boat Tour is the chance to see wild dolphins swimming freely in their natural habitat. Keep your eyes on the horizon — they often appear near Dolphin Island, playing alongside the boat. Along the way, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of Side’s coastline, ancient ruins visible from the sea, and the crystal-clear turquoise waters of the Mediterranean.
🚐 Easy & Comfortable Start
Your day begins with a free hotel pickup and transfer to the Side pier, where your wooden double-deck boat awaits. Step aboard, grab a drink, and relax as the crew sets sail into the open sea. The boat is spacious and comfortable, offering shaded areas, a sun deck, and a bar serving soft drinks throughout the day.
🏖️ Swimming Stops & Onboard Lunch
During your Side Boat Tour, you’ll make several stops for swimming in the refreshing turquoise waters. Dive in, snorkel, or simply float and enjoy the serenity of the open sea. Around midday, a freshly prepared grilled lunch will be served onboard — a delicious combination of fish, chicken, pasta, and salad, perfectly complementing your day at sea.
🎉 Fun, Relaxation & Adventure
After lunch, the entertainment continues with music, foam parties, and plenty of time to sunbathe or take photos on deck. Depending on weather conditions, the tour continues toward Dolphin Island, where you’ll have another chance to swim and explore. With luck, you may even spot sea turtles gliding near the boat!
🌊 A Perfect Mediterranean Escape
Whether you’re relaxing in the sun, enjoying the music, or watching dolphins jump beside your boat, the Side Boat Tour offers an amazing day filled with fun, nature, and unforgettable views of the Turkish Riviera.
