Jeep Tour Side for Couples: Which of the Three Tours Suits Two
Nothing on this site is sold as a couples' package, and nothing needs to be. Two seats in a shared jeep, and a choice between a day in the hills and an evening on the water.
Short answer
For a quiet day together, take the classic day tour and, once lunch is over, add the optional boat on Green Lake. For a photograph with the lion cubs, take the zoo route. For a night out, take the night safari: dinner on board and a catamaran party cruise. All three use shared jeeps of eight to ten guests; there is no private tour on this site.
Three tours, three kinds of time together
| What the two of you get | Two seats cost | |
|---|---|---|
| Classic day tour | The Taurus foothills, river crossings, a swim at Oymapınar, lunch by the lake | €20 each, lunch included |
| Zoo route | The same day with a zoo stop and the chance of a cub photograph | €20 each, zoo ticket at the gate |
| Night safari | A jeep run to the water, dinner on board, a party cruise with music | €35 each, drinks extra |
The classic day, and the hour on the boat
The day tour is about 8 hours of scenery: the Roman bridge where the tarmac stops, dry riverbeds, orange and pomegranate orchards, aqueduct arches in open fields, Green Lake seen from a height, then lunch at a lakeside restaurant by Green Canyon.
After lunch comes the part couples ask about most: the optional boat trip on Green Lake, roughly an hour on the water for €5 a head, paid on the spot. It is the slowest hour of a busy day, and you decide when you get there. The boat hour and the waterfall explains both extras.
The zoo route, if one of you wants the cubs
The zoo route is the classic day plus one stop: a zoo where, on the days a cub is out, guests can sit with one for a photograph. The fare does not change; the ticket is bought at the gate by whoever goes in. If only one of you is keen, the other can wait with the jeeps. Whether a cub is there is the zoo's decision, so treat the photograph as a hope rather than a plan.
The night safari, for an evening out
The night safari collects you in the late afternoon and runs out to the water, passing Manavgat Waterfall in the evening and stopping to swim in Green Lake. Then dinner is served on the catamaran and the cruise turns into a party with music and entertainment. About 5 hours, €35 each, guests from 12 up, between early June and mid-November. It is livelier than romantic; book it for the company and the music, not for a quiet table.
What two seats in a shared jeep mean
Every tour on this site is a seat in a convoy. A professional driver takes eight to ten guests per open-top jeep, so you will share the ride, the water fights in summer and the lunch with other travellers. There is no private jeep to book here and no dearer couples' version: two people pay two fares. If you would rather compare the day and the evening in detail, read day or night.
