Why pick this tour
Soft drinks are the difference. On most Side boats you pay for every can; here they are part of the fare from start to finish. With children or a thirsty group that alters the cost of the day more than the ticket price suggests. Only alcoholic and bottled drinks, and any extra food, are charged.
Two named swims
The first anchor is at Kızılot, a bay protected from the swell, with a seabed you can make out from the surface. The second comes later at Boğaz, on calm water, and it is the last cool-down before the run home. Between the two the boat keeps moving along the Side coast towards the island, with live music from the moment you step on board.
Lunch, and what to tell us
Lunch is hot and drawn from Turkish cuisine. A vegetarian dish is available if you ask for it when you book, and the same goes for any other dietary need. Please don't plan to bring a picnic: the boat does not allow it, on hygiene grounds.
If you do not swim
You can still join. Life jackets are available for the swim stops, and the cruise, lunch and the foam party do not need you to get wet. Swimming things, a towel, sun cream and a hat are worth packing either way.
If the weather turns
The route may shift slightly with conditions. If the tour has to be cancelled for bad weather you are offered a refund or another date. Otherwise, free cancellation runs up to 48 hours before the start, and you pay nothing until the day of the tour.
