Side Jeep Tour From Gündoğdu: How Your Pickup Time Is Set

Gündoğdu sits at the western end of the belt the jeeps serve. Here is how they find your hotel, and why your gate time arrives as a message rather than as a timetable.

Short answer

Yes, the jeeps come out to Gündoğdu, and the hotel pickup and the drive back are part of the fare on all three tours. Your time is set the day before, hotel by hotel, and sent by phone or WhatsApp. Sitting at the far western end does not fix that time in advance — the bookings for your date do.

Why no time is printed for Gündoğdu

A timetable published weeks ahead would be a guess. The operator plans each convoy only once it knows which hotels have guests on a given date, and that list is different every day. So on the eve of your tour the sequence is drawn up, every hotel gets its slot, and we pass yours on — in English, German, Russian, Polish or Turkish, whichever you asked for in the form.

What can be said now is the shape of the day: the two day tours call once breakfast is over, while the night safari comes for its guests late in the afternoon. Anything sharper than that, from anyone, before the plan exists, would be made up.

Between booking and the message

  • Book with a phone number that works while you are on holiday — the time is sent to it.
  • Choose your hotel from the Gündoğdu list in the form, or type the name if it is missing.
  • Keep an eye on your phone the evening before, and answer if something in the message looks wrong.
  • On the morning itself, stand at the hotel's main gate rather than in the lobby.

If the message has not reached you, write to us on WhatsApp with your booking reference.

Which tours call at Gündoğdu

All three of them. The classic day and the lion-cub zoo route run all year at €20 for each adult; the evening safari, sold only between early June and mid-November, costs €35 and takes guests aged 12 and over. Not one of them adds a transfer charge for this end of the coast: what you see in the form is the whole price, before any optional extra.

Neighbours along the coast

Çolaklı is the next area east, and from there the belt carries on through Side as far as Kızılot. The pickup page shows every area at once; the Gündoğdu hotels the form already recognises are printed below this text. For the steps of the form itself, see how booking works.

Questions

Before you ask us

Will Gündoğdu be collected earlier because it is at the end of the belt?
Nobody can say until the day before. Your time comes from that date's plan, not from a fixed rule about where the area lies.
Who sends the time?
We do, by a call or a WhatsApp message to the number in your booking, once the operator has planned the convoy.
Does Gündoğdu cost extra?
No. Collection and return are inside the fare for this area.
