Alanya Tours: A Guide to Choosing by Budget, Duration and Style
Alanya tours guide: durations, starting prices and tips for choosing the right tour by budget for boat trips, canyon tours, night tours and paragliding.
Alanya tours generally fall into three groups: sea, nature, and evening or adventure tours. Starting prices in our catalogue range from 20 EUR to 65 EUR, and durations are between 2 and 6 hours. To choose the right one, first consider your budget and how much time you have that day. Then decide whether you want sea, mountains or sky.
In this article we take a different approach: we sort tours by budget tiers rather than by theme.
How much do Alanya tours cost?
The amounts below are the "from" starting prices on the tour pages. They may vary by date and option, so check the current price before booking.
- From 20 EUR: pirate boat trip with lunch
- From 30 EUR: canyon and cave day with lunch
- From 45 EUR: evening jeep tour, boat trip and dinner
- From 65 EUR: tandem paragliding
Price alone is not a sufficient measure. If meals, drinks and hotel transfer are included in the package, your extra expenses decrease. Be sure to check the "what's included" section on the tour page.
How long does a tour in Alanya take?
Calculate the duration in advance, as hotel transfers also take up part of your day.
- About 2 hours: paragliding
- About 4.5 hours: pirate boat
- About 5 hours: evening tour
- About 6 hours: canyon tour
You can plan a half day in the morning and an activity in the evening. However, not squeezing two long tours into the same day gives you a more relaxed holiday.
Which tour should I choose based on my budget?
Flexible budget, sea fun: pirate boat
Alanya: Pirate Boat w/Transfer, Lunch & Soft Drinks Alanya: Pirate Boat w/Transfer, Lunch & Soft Drinks tour, starting at 20 EUR, is one of the most affordable options in the catalogue. Transfer, lunch and non-alcoholic drinks are included in the package. The programme also includes swimming and snorkelling to explore the sea. It lasts about 4.5 hours, so the rest of the day is yours. Suitable for groups and families looking for a lively, fun day at sea.
Mid-range budget, calm nature: canyon and cave
Alanya: Sapadere Canyon Tour with Lunch and Cave Visit Alanya: Sapadere Canyon Tour with Lunch and Cave Visit tour starts at 30 EUR. The road heads towards the Taurus Mountains, passing banana and avocado orchards. The first stop is a historic stone bridge and a traditional gözleme break. Lunch and a cave visit are also part of the programme. This roughly 6-hour tour suits those who want to escape busy beaches and spend a cool day. You will be walking, so wear comfortable shoes.
For the evening: jeep, boat and dinner
Alanya: Night Jeep Safari, Boat Trip and Dinner Alanya: Night Jeep Safari, Boat Trip and Dinner starts at 18:30 in the evening. You ride in one of 15 Land Rover Defender vehicles. The route follows the coastal road past Damlataş and Cleopatra beaches to the West Entrance of Alanya Castle, where there is a photo stop. The programme also includes a boat trip and an evening meal. It starts at 45 EUR and lasts about 5 hours. A good option if you spend the day at the beach and want something different in the evening.
Top budget: Cleopatra Beach from the sky
Alanya: Tandem Paragliding Flight Over Cleopatra Beach Alanya: Tandem Paragliding Flight Over Cleopatra Beach tour starts at 65 EUR. You take off from the mountain with a professional tandem pilot. Since the pilot guides you throughout the flight, you can focus on the view and the feeling. The total duration is about 2 hours. Paragliding depends on weather conditions. Keeping a flexible day in reserve is a good precaution in case the flight is postponed. Please raise any health concerns with us before booking.
What should you consider when choosing a tour in Alanya in October?
In mid-October the weather often still feels like holiday weather. However, the days are getting shorter. Check the current weather forecast before you go and plan accordingly.
- On boat tours, bring a light top, sunscreen and a towel. Sea breezes can feel cool in the evenings.
- On the canyon tour, the mountainous area can be cooler than the coast. Dressing in layers helps.
- On the evening tour, sunset comes early, so photo stops in good light may happen earlier than expected.
- For paragliding, set aside a flexible day depending on wind and visibility conditions.
