Our Manavgat River Cruise from Antalya is a relaxed full-day tour that combines a famous waterfall, a leisurely boat trip with lunch and a stroll through one of the liveliest market towns on the Turkish Riviera. With hotel transfers, an English-speaking guide and lunch on board, this daily excursion lets you enjoy the river scenery without any planning on your part.
The Manavgat Waterfall is not tall, but it stretches across the full width of the river, and the rush of water over the rocks is impressive to hear up close. It has long been one of the best-loved natural sights in the Antalya region and a popular spot for photographs. Seen from the deck of a boat, the falls and the surrounding greenery show their best side, which is why a cruise is often called the ideal way to experience them.
Further along, the river widens and the cold mountain water meets warmer water, a contrast you can see and feel during the swimming stop. After lunch and entertainment on the boat, the Manavgat day trip continues inland to a huge mosque that dominates the town and then to the bustling bazaar, where stalls offer homemade food, local produce and souvenirs. Bring swimwear, a towel and sunscreen. This daily Manavgat tour from Antalya suits families and anyone looking for an easy, scenic day away from the beach.

Manavgat River Cruise Programme In the morning you are collected from your hotel in Antalya and travel east in an air-conditioned coach towards the town of Manavgat, with your English-speaking guide sharing background on the region along the way. The first stop is the Manavgat Waterfall, where the river spills over a long, low rocky shelf; there is time to listen to the roar of the water and take photographs. Next you board the riverboat for a peaceful cruise down the Manavgat River, passing green banks and enjoying the town's relaxed charm from the water. During the trip the boat pauses for a refreshing swim in the chilly river, where the cold water mixes with the warm and fish such as trout are often seen. Lunch is served on board, accompanied by entertainment. After the cruise, the group heads into town to visit one of the largest mosques in the country, followed by free time at the Manavgat market for homemade food, local products and souvenirs. At the end of the day you are driven back to your hotel in Antalya, or to Antalya Airport if requested.

Real, verified reviews from travellers who explored Turkey with us.
My husband and I chose Inca Tour for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did. The boutique hotel selection was beautiful and the Bosphorus dinner cruise was so romantic. Thank you for making our trip special!
It was important for us to have a guide who spoke Russian, and Ender was wonderful. He explained every detail at Dolmabahce Palace. The Princes Islands day trip was a beautiful break from the busy city.
Our guide Ender was incredibly knowledgeable about Turkish history. The hot-air balloon ride at sunrise in Cappadocia was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized — from airport pick-up to the last d...
Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
10+ years later we still talk about our Cappadocia balloon ride and the Bosphorus sunset cruise. Some memories are timeless. Thank you Inca Tour!
