Fishing Tour from Kumköy: Where to Wait for Your Hotel Pickup

Kumköy on the map of our pickups

From west to east, our transfers cover Gündoğdu, Çolaklı, Evrenseki, Kumköy, Side, Sorgun, Titreyengöl, Kızılağaç and Kızılot, plus Manavgat town inland. Kumköy is Side's immediate neighbour to the west. Wherever along it you are staying, there is no surcharge for collection: the shared morning is €45 per person, one fare whatever your age, and the €5 sea fee per person is paid separately, in cash, on the boat.

Why the waiting spot matters

A driver's arrival is easier for everyone when the guests are visible. Large resort hotels can have a main gate, a lobby entrance, a side road and a car park, and a vehicle drawn up at one may not be seen from another. That is why the day-before message tells you not just when, but where.

If the message says reception, wait inside the lobby near the front doors, where a driver walking in will see you. If it names the main entrance or the road, stand outside where the vehicle can stop. When in doubt, ask the night porter where tour transfers normally draw up; they will know the habits of their own building.

Being easy to find

• Be at the spot a few moments before the given time, not in your room finishing packing.
• Keep your phone on and loud: if the driver cannot see you, the number you booked with is how we reach you.
• Have the booking reference to hand on your screen.
• If someone in the party is running late, one person waits at the spot and tells the driver.
• Carry a hat and sun cream already, plus euros in cash for the sea fee, so there is no last dash back upstairs.

Booking a Kumköy hotel correctly

In the booking form, start typing the hotel name and choose it from the list; the area appears alongside it. Confirm that it shows Kumköy rather than a neighbouring area with a similar-sounding hotel. Add your room number and a phone number with its country code, and mark whether it uses WhatsApp, since that is a quick way for the pickup details to find you.

Reservations start from tomorrow. No deposit is taken: euros are handed over on the morning, and dropping out is free as long as we hear by 48 hours beforehand. Book on the booking page, and see the hotel pickup page for every area we serve.

Back in Kumköy after the fishing

The same transfer brings you back once the boat is in at 12:30. The boat is out for 5.5 hours, with rods, lines and fresh bait supplied; food is yours to bring. Read how the morning runs for each step, and what to bring for the bag you will carry to the waiting spot.
