Day trips around Alanya range from canyon and cave visits to boat tours, jeep safaris, and paragliding. The list below shows currently available activities in Alanya, with durations and prices per person.
The most popular options are hikes through Sapadere Canyon, jeep safaris that include the Dim River and Dim Cave, boat tours and adventure activities. Activities such as buggy rides, rafting, ziplining and paragliding can be combined in a single package. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included in the price for most tours; included and excluded services are listed separately on each activity page. If you are planning more than one activity in a day, a canyon visit or safari in the morning and a sea-based activity in the afternoon work well; boat tours usually last a full day, so they are best planned on their own.
At the canyon, about 40 km from central Alanya, you follow wooden walkways to a natural pool below the waterfall. The water is cool even in summer. The walk is not difficult, but the ground can be wet; non-slip shoes are recommended. The tour is usually combined with a village breakfast or lunch stop.
Alanya boat tours usually follow a route around the castle, taking in the Red Tower, Pirates’ Cave and Cleopatra Beach; lunch and non-alcoholic drinks are usually included in the price. Pirate-themed boats are fun for families with children, but can be crowded if you are looking for a quieter day — keep this in mind when choosing a boat.
Buggy safaris, rafting and ziplining are usually combined into a single day. Paragliding in Alanya is offered as a tandem flight with an instructor and depends on wind conditions. Age and weight limits and health requirements are listed on the activity’s own page.
The activity season runs from April to October. July and August are the hottest months; water-based activities such as canyoning and rafting are more comfortable during this period. May and June, as well as September and October, offer the best balance of weather and crowd levels.
Alanya Castle and the walls overlooking the city, the Red Tower by the harbor, the Shipyard, and Damlataş Cave are classic central sights. Cleopatra Beach is within walking distance of the city center. The Dim River valley is especially popular in summer for its terraces over the water and cool atmosphere; Dim Cave is on the same route. The event page states which of these places are included in the tour.
