Looking for things to do in Alanya for families? The town sits on Türkiye's Mediterranean coast, where a boat trip, a canyon walk and a visit to the historic old town can fill a few days without much planning. Below are three tours from TurB2C that work well for mixed-age groups, and each one is listed with hotel pickup.
One option is not suited to a mixed family group. The hammam experience is women-only, so it fits adult women travelers, friends and solo visitors rather than children and male relatives. Keep this in mind when planning a day for everyone, and check the tour details before you book.
The Sapadere Canyon tour, lasting about 6 hours with hotel pickup, is the most active option on this list. You visit the Cüceler (Dwarves) Cave and its rock formations, then walk the wooden walkways past waterfalls and natural pools. Families can swim in the river and natural pools, and lunch is served at a riverside restaurant on the Dim River. The tour also includes a visit to the Banana and Avokado Gardens, which gives younger visitors a change of scene. Bring swimwear, a towel and water shoes, and expect a fair amount of walking during the day.
The catamaran cruise runs about 4.5 hours from Alanya and is listed with hotel pickup, lunch and soft drinks. Along the way you explore hidden caves and mysterious coves on the coast and see the ancient shipyard of Coracesium, a historic harbour site on the Alanya coast. The tour also covers the Catamaran pirates who once ruled these waters, which can make a good story for older children. Because the day is spent on the water, pack sun cream and a hat, and follow the crew's guidance during stops.
Pick the canyon trip if your group enjoys walking, swimming and nature. Choose the catamaran if you want a more relaxed day on the water with caves and coves to look into. Both are listed with hotel pickup, which removes the need to organise transport from your accommodation. Think about ages and energy levels: the canyon involves more walking, while the boat trip involves more sitting and short stops. Families with very young children may prefer the boat, while older children often enjoy the canyon's waterfalls. If the group includes adult women only, the hammam offers a quieter, separate option.
Pack swimwear, a towel, sun cream, a hat and a bottle of water for any outing. Shoes with good grip help on canyon walkways and on paths around the gardens. Confirm pickup timing with your accommodation and book ahead, since popular dates can sell out in busy periods. Read the tour listing for what is included so you know whether lunch or drinks are provided. The tours are run with licensed local guides, so you can ask questions about the route on the day.
