Jeep Safari Price in Side: What Each Tour Actually Costs

A full-day jeep safari in Side costs €20 per adult and €10 per child aged 4 to 12, with infants aged 0 to 3 travelling free. That price already covers hotel pickup and drop-off, an eight-hour day in an open 4x4 and lunch at a lakeside restaurant by the Green Canyon. The other jeep products cost more because they are longer, start further along the coast or include a second activity: €28 for the Side rafting-and-jeep day, €40 from Evrenseki, Kumköy or Manavgat, €35 for the night safari with dinner and catamaran cruise, €30 for the Alanya Dim River trip. Nothing is paid online — you reserve free and hand over euros on the day.

Every jeep price we charge, in one place

All prices are per person in euros, and the figure you see is the figure you pay on the tour day: no booking fee, no service charge at the end, no card details at reservation.

What the €20 flagship price actually buys

When you book the €20 Side jeep safari you are buying a full day, not a two-hour taster. It covers the jeep — an open 4x4 carrying eight to ten guests with a professional driver — hotel pickup and drop-off from Side and the surrounding resort areas, lunch at a lakeside restaurant by the Green Canyon, and guiding all day in English, German, Russian or Turkish.

The day costs the same whether you use every stop or not: the old Roman bridge where the asphalt ends, the orange, lemon and pomegranate orchards, the cotton and sesame fields, the ancient Roman aqueducts, the panoramic viewpoint over Green Lake, the swim stop at Oymapınar village with freshly made Turkish pancakes and a drink, the Oymapınar Dam photo stop, the viewpoint above Green Canyon and the village mosque visit with the guide.

None of those stops carries a charge we add to your bill. What does cost extra is listed in full in the next section, and the list is shorter than most guests expect.

The optional extras and what they genuinely cost

Only one extra has a price we set ourselves: the Green Lake boat trip. It lasts about an hour, runs after lunch, costs €5 per person and is entirely optional — plenty of guests skip it and sit by the water instead.

The rest are third-party tickets. We deliberately publish no figures for them: we do not sell them and the gate price is not ours to quote. Ask your guide on the day, before you decide.

  • Green Lake boat trip, about 1 hour, €5 per person, paid on the day
  • Manavgat Waterfall entrance — the waterfall stop on the return is programme-dependent, and when it runs the entrance is paid on site
  • Mini zoo tickets during the village break, optional and paid locally
  • Drinks beyond what the programme includes, and any personal spending
  • Photos and video taken by the tour team

Is there a jeep safari "with boat"?

People often ask for the price of a jeep safari with boat. What we price on this page is the €20 day, and the Green Lake boat trip sits on top of it as a €5 per person add-on you decide on at the lake. We publish no bundled with-boat figure, because the boat is charged per head on the day rather than sold as a package.

A family of four who want the boat therefore pay €20 more than a family who don't, and whether the €5 boat trip is worth it is a call better made at the lake than at the booking form, because nobody pays in advance for an hour on the water.

Children, teenagers and infants: how the bands work

How the child rate works on the flagship Side Jeep Safari is simple: 13 and over pay €20, children aged 4 to 12 pay €10, infants aged 0 to 3 travel free. Two adults, a nine-year-old and a two-year-old pay €50 for the whole day.

The other products set their own bands. On the Side rafting combo, guests aged 4 to 11 count as children at €17 and rafting is not recommended below four. The three nine-hour resort combos charge €24 per child. The Alanya Dim River trip counts 4 to 12 as a child at €17, infants 0 to 3 free. The night safari is built for guests aged 12 and over and is not suitable for younger children.

On the rafting-and-jeep combinations the booking form carries exactly these bands — infants 0 to 3, children 4 to 11, adults 12 and over — so pick the group each guest belongs to and the right rate is applied for you. Children aged 4 to 11 pay the child rate, infants aged 0 to 3 travel free, and rafting is not recommended below four. Nothing is charged when you confirm — you pay in euros on the day.

Rafting combos: why €28 from Side and €40 from the resorts

The Side rafting and jeep combo is seven hours at €28 for adults and €17 for children: two-way jeep transfer from your hotel, roughly 12 km of river in the Beşkonak stretch of Köprülü Canyon, all safety equipment — helmet, paddle, life jacket — professional guiding and lunch. Extra drinks, the photo and video service and personal spending are not included.

From Evrenseki, Kumköy and Manavgat the same idea runs as a nine-hour day at €40 adult and €24 child. The extra two hours show up in the programme: the Evrenseki version adds riverbed off-roading, the Ancient Roman Bridge and travel insurance; the Kumköy version runs 14 km of Grade II-III rapids, the Roman-era Oluk Bridge, a swim stop, a riverside grilled lunch and activity insurance; the Manavgat version pairs about 12 km of white water with an off-road run through the Taurus Mountains.

We quote a standalone jeep departure from Side only, and what a day from Side includes — pickup, mountain route, lunch and drop-off — is the €20 product at the top of this page. Jeep safari does collect from Kumköy, Evrenseki and Manavgat, but the priced product there is the rafting combination — for jeep alone from one of those resorts, message us and we will confirm what runs on your date rather than guess a figure here.

The €35 night safari and the €30 Alanya day

The evening safari with dinner and a catamaran cruise is €35 per person for five hours — a different night out, not a late version of the day tour. It covers the jeep and driver, hotel transfers, dinner on board, the catamaran cruise, music and entertainment and a guide; drinks and the team's photos are extra. It runs early June to mid-November for guests aged 12 and over, guests do not drive the jeeps, and pickup is late afternoon with the hotel time confirmed after booking.

The Alanya Jeep Safari to the Dim River is eight hours at €30 for adults and €17 for children aged 4 to 12, daily from April to November, with pickup across the whole Alanya area from Kestel to Okurcalar. An open 4x4 convoy runs through the Taurus foothills to waterfall and Dim Dam photo stops, a village house and mosque, and a swim stop with lunch on a riverside platform. The optional Dim Cave visit carries a small entrance fee paid locally.

Nothing is prepaid, and cancelling costs nothing

Booking is a free reservation. We take no card online, hold no deposit and charge nothing until the tour happens — you pay in euros on the day, to the team running your tour.

Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before departure on every product on this page. If the forecast turns or the family plan changes, tell us a day ahead: there is nothing to refund because there was nothing to pay.

The optional extras are settled on the day too, so keep some euros in cash with you — the €5 boat trip and any entrance tickets are paid on the spot.

Which one is actually the best value?

Measured per hour, the flagship is the cheapest thing we sell: €20 for eight hours, lunch and transfers included, works out at two and a half euros an hour. If your holiday budget is the deciding factor, that is the one to book.

If you are still choosing between activities rather than between prices, how the jeep day compares with a quad or the river is the more useful question: pay the extra €8 for the Side rafting combo only if you want the river, because you trade an hour of the day and some mountain stops for 12 km of water. Choose a €40 resort combo if you are staying in Evrenseki, Kumköy or Manavgat and want the version that leaves from your own door. The €35 night safari is a second outing, not a substitute for the first, and the €30 Alanya day only makes sense on that side of the coast: it does not pick up from Side.

We compare our own products against each other and stop there. We cannot verify what another operator folds into their headline number, so we will not price it for you — read our inclusion lists, ask about anything missing, and judge the day on what is written down.

Questions

Frequently asked

How much is a jeep safari in Side?
€20 per adult and €10 per child aged 4 to 12, with infants aged 0 to 3 free. That is the full-day Side Jeep Safari through the Taurus Mountains: eight hours, hotel pickup and drop-off, and lunch at a lakeside restaurant by the Green Canyon.
Is lunch included in the price?
Yes. Lunch at the lakeside restaurant by the Green Canyon is part of the €20, and the Oymapınar village stop includes freshly made Turkish pancakes with a drink. Drinks beyond that and personal spending are not included.
Are hotel transfers included?
Yes, pickup and drop-off from Side and the surrounding resort areas are in the price. The meeting point is the main entrance gate of your hotel, and the exact pickup time is confirmed after booking because it differs from hotel to hotel.
Are entrance fees included?
No, and there are only a few. The Green Lake boat trip is €5 per person, the Manavgat Waterfall stop is programme-dependent with its entrance paid on site, and mini zoo tickets at the village break are optional and paid locally.
Do I have to pay anything when I book?
No. The reservation is free, no card is taken online and no deposit is held. You pay in euros on the day of the tour, and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before departure.
How much does the Green Lake boat trip cost?
€5 per person for about an hour on the water, taken after lunch and paid on the day. It is optional and priced separately: we publish no bundled with-boat price, and there is no discount for deciding in advance.
What would a family of four pay?
Two adults, one child aged nine and one infant under three pay €50 in total for the full-day Side Jeep Safari: €20 plus €20 plus €10, with the infant free. Add €5 per person if you take the Green Lake boat.
Is there a cheaper jeep safari than €20?
Not from us. €20 is the lowest jeep price we publish and there is no stripped-down version of the same day — the difference between our products is what happens during them, not how much has been removed.
