Most booked Alanya Night Disco Boat
The night boat. A live DJ, a foam party and the floodlit castle from the water — an evening out rather than a day trip, and not one for young children.

About this boat trip
This one is not a sea trip at all, and it is worth knowing that before you book. The coach heads inland from Alanya, through citrus country and up into the Taurus foothills, and the boat you eventually board is on fresh water.
The cruise is on the reservoir behind the Manavgat dam — pine down to the waterline, cliffs on both sides and water an odd flat green that photographs better than it sounds. It is calm in a way the open sea never is, which makes it the right choice for anyone who does not love a moving deck. There are swim stops, and the water is noticeably colder than the Mediterranean.
The day also takes in the Manavgat waterfall and the bazaar on the riverbank — spices, leather, textiles and fruit, and the usual cheerful negotiating.
It runs on Mondays and Thursdays, and only those two days, because that is when the Manavgat bazaar is actually held. A market tour on a day the market is shut is a wasted day, so we do not sell one.
An open buffet lunch is served on board, and air-conditioned coach transfer from your Alanya hotel is included both ways.

We collect from hotels along the Alanya strip, from Okurcalar in the west to Mahmutlar in the east. Staying further out? Ask us and we will tell you honestly whether we can reach you.
Before you board
Safety on board
What is actually recorded for this boat, what the sea does, and what we will not promise you. This section is different on every boat on this site, because the boats are different.
Cover and equipment on this boat
This is the line our operations record holds for this boat, word for word:
“Local travel insurance”
We do not sell or arrange travel insurance. If you want personal cover for the day, arrange it before you travel.
Sea conditions and weather
The Alanya coast is sheltered by the headland and is usually calm through the summer, but the Mediterranean is still the sea and an afternoon breeze can put a chop on the water. If you are prone to seasickness, take something before you board rather than after.
If the weather turns and the boat does not sail, you pay nothing — you pay on the day you sail, and you can cancel free up to 24 hours before in any case.
Swimming, and when to tell us
Swim stops are part of the day where the itinerary includes them. You are never required to get in the water — the deck is yours for the whole trip if you would rather stay dry.
Tell us in advance if someone in your party cannot swim, is pregnant, has a heart or back condition, or uses medication that matters on a long day out. It changes nothing about your booking; it just means the crew knows.
Children on board
Infants aged 0–3 travel free, children aged 4–11 pay the reduced child price, and from 12 the adult fare applies. Those are the bands the booking system actually charges from.
Children remain the responsibility of the adults they travel with. There is no supervised area and no childminding on any of these boats.
Boarding and access
This boat is not step-free. You board from the quay in Alanya harbour, and there are stairs between decks. Nobody is carried aboard — if walking a gangway and a few steps is difficult, tell us before you book and we will be straight with you about whether the day will work.
The boat takes up to 40 guests.
What we do not promise
- An exact pickup time. The hotel strip runs across 10 resort areas and more than forty kilometres, so yours is confirmed the evening before rather than guessed at here.
- Dolphins, turtles or any other wildlife. They are wild; some days you see them and most days you do not.
- Flat water. We will tell you the sea is usually calm, because it usually is. We will not tell you it always is.
- A star rating. We hold no verified reviews for these boats yet, so we publish none — a number we cannot show you the source of is worth nothing.
Questions
Frequently asked
Which days does the Manavgat trip run?
Mondays and Thursdays only. Those are the days the Manavgat bazaar is actually held, and a market tour on a day the market is shut is a wasted day, so we do not sell one.
Is the Manavgat trip a sea trip?
No, and it is worth knowing before you book. The cruise is on fresh water — the reservoir behind the Manavgat dam, inland from Alanya. It is calm in a way the open sea never is, which suits anyone who dislikes a moving deck.
How much does it cost and how long is it?
€43 per adult and €30 per child aged 4 to 11, over about nine hours including the coach transfer from your Alanya hotel. An open buffet lunch is served on board.
Can you swim on the Manavgat trip?
Yes, there are swim stops along the reservoir. The water is noticeably colder than the Mediterranean, because it comes down out of the mountains.
What is at the Manavgat bazaar?
Spices, leather, textiles, clothing and fruit, along the riverbank, with the usual good-natured haggling. The day also takes in the Manavgat waterfall.
