What Information Is Required During Booking?

For the tour reservation to be created correctly, participant and accommodation information must be entered completely.

The following information is generally requested during booking:

• First and last name

• Email address

• Phone number

• Tour date

• Tour time

• Pick-up region

• Hotel or accommodation address

• Room number

• Number of adults

• Number of children

• Ages of children

For some tours, participants' age, height, weight, or health information may also be important. Especially for activities such as rafting, diving, buggy, ATV, and zipline, participation conditions should be checked in advance.

Why Must the Hotel Name Be Entered Correctly?

Hotel information is one of the most important pieces of data used in preparing the transfer plan.

In Alanya and its surroundings, there might be hotels with similar names. Hotels belonging to the same group might have facilities in different regions like Alanya, Side, or Belek.

Therefore, it's beneficial to specify not only the hotel name but also the region where the hotel is located during booking.

For example, the following information can be provided together:

• Hotel name

• Pick-up region

• Full address

• Room number

• Location information

• Active phone number

If you've changed hotels or moved to a different accommodation after booking, you should inform the authorized person before the tour date.

Can Those Not Staying in a Hotel Make a Reservation?

Hotel accommodation is not a requirement to make a tour reservation.

Visitors staying in apartment rentals, villas, guesthouses, rented homes, or private accommodation addresses can also participate in daily tours.

However, large shuttle vehicles might not be able to access some private addresses. In such cases, the closest suitable meeting point can be arranged.

The meeting point could be one of the following:

• A market on the main road

• A gas station

• A known hotel entrance

• A bus stop

• A central intersection

• An easily identifiable business

• An area where the shuttle vehicle can safely stop

Sharing the full address and, if possible, a location link during booking will facilitate the transfer plan.

Is Online Payment Required for Alanya Tours?

When making a reservation through Alanya Oasis Tour, you do not need to make an online payment.

You can create your reservation on the website and make your payment on the day of the tour.

This system allows you to:

• Book without entering card details.

• Plan your holiday schedule in advance.

• Reserve the tour date.

• Make your payment on the day of the activity.

• Check reservation details in advance.

Unless otherwise specified on the tour page or in the booking confirmation, payment will be collected on the day of the tour.

How Is the Tour Fee Paid?

The tour fee is usually paid to the guide, driver, or authorized staff on the day of the tour.

Available payment options may vary from tour to tour. Generally, cash or existing card payment options may be used.

It's beneficial to check accepted currencies and payment methods before making a reservation.

You can check the following information during payment:

• Total adult fee

• Total child fee

• Children in the free age group

• Additional transfer fee

• Additional activities

• Entrance fees

• Food and drink coverage

• Photography and videography services

It might be useful to carry a small amount of cash for personal expenses beyond the tour fee.

How Are Child Prices Determined?

Child prices may vary depending on the type of tour and age group.

For some tours, small children may participate for free, while some programs may offer discounted child prices. For aquapark, theme park, and show tours, height limits may be used instead of age limits.

You must state the actual ages of children during booking.

Child information is important for the following reasons:

• Calculating the correct price

• Checking participation conditions

• Preparing safety equipment

• Planning vehicle capacity

• Determining meal count

• Checking age limits

Providing incorrect age information can lead to price or participation issues on the day of the tour.

Is a Reservation Required for Infants?

Even if infants participate for free, they should be listed as participants during booking.

Infants are also taken into account for seat and total capacity planning in the shuttle vehicle.

If you will be accompanied by an infant, it's beneficial to share the following information in advance:

• Infant's age

• Whether a stroller will be brought

• Need for a child seat

• Specific health conditions

• Suitability for the tour's duration

• Whether formula or extra items will be carried

You should inquire before booking whether the stroller will fit in the transfer vehicle and if the tour is suitable for infants.

A general or approximate pick-up time may be visible on the tour page. The exact time is determined based on the hotel's location and the shuttle route.

The exact pick-up time will be communicated to you after booking or before the tour date.

Factors affecting the pick-up time:

• The region where the hotel is located

Pick-up times for regions such as Mahmutlar, Kargıcak, Alanya center, Konaklı, Türkler, Avsallar, and Okurcalar may differ from each other.

Where Should One Wait on the Day of the Tour?

On the day of the tour, you should generally wait at the hotel's main security gate or at the point where shuttle vehicles enter.

Waiting in your hotel room or inside the reception area may cause you to miss the shuttle.

• Keep your phone on.

• Have your reservation number with you.

What to Do if the Shuttle Is Delayed?

If the shuttle vehicle does not arrive at the stated time, first check that you are at the correct waiting point.

If you are waiting at the reception instead of the hotel's main security gate, the shuttle vehicle may not see you.

After waiting for a while, you can contact the tour official.

Have the following information ready when communicating:

• First and last name

• Tour name

• Tour date

• Hotel name

• Room number

• Pick-up region

Date changes are subject to the following conditions:

• Availability on the new date

• The tour being operated on that day

• Suitability of the transfer route

• Weather conditions suitable for the activity

• The tour's own change policies

If there is availability on the new date, your reservation can be moved to another day.

For last-minute changes, the vehicle and tour capacity might be full, making a change impossible.

You can share the following information when requesting a cancellation:

• Reservation holder's name

For cancellations made less than 24 hours before the tour date, fees or different policies may apply depending on the tour's terms and conditions.

If you do not attend the tour, the reservation may be considered a no-show.

Therefore, it is important to submit your cancellation request as early as possible if your plans change.

What Happens If You Don't Join the Tour?

• Financial loss for the tour operator

Therefore, as soon as you realize you cannot attend, you must cancel your reservation or reschedule it for another date.

What Happens If a Tour Is Canceled Due to Weather?

In situations where the tour cannot be conducted safely, the program may be canceled or rescheduled for another date.

In such cases, the guest may be offered:

• An alternative date

• An alternative tour

• A reservation cancellation

The decision on whether to cancel the tour is made based on the tour operator's safety and operational assessment, not on personal weather forecasts.

Does the Tour Continue if It Rains?

Light rain does not mean every tour will be canceled.

Some activities like rafting, buggy, and Jeep safari may continue in light rain. For boat or sea tours, wind and sea conditions are more determinative.

Whether the tour will continue is evaluated based on the following factors:

• Intensity of the rain

• Wind conditions

• Sea wave level

• Road safety

• Trail conditions

• Warnings from authorized institutions

• Tour operator's safety decision

If there's a change in weather conditions on the tour day, you will be informed.

Can People with Health Problems Make a Reservation?

Health conditions should be evaluated according to the type of tour.

Low-paced activities like city tours, boat trips, or shows may be suitable for many people. However, programs such as rafting, diving, buggy, and zipline may require more physical exertion.

If you have any of the following conditions, you should inquire before booking:

• Pregnancy

• Heart condition

• High blood pressure

The tour provider can advise whether participation is appropriate based on your health condition.

Can I make a Last-Minute Reservation?

Advance booking is recommended, especially for the following tours:

By distributing boat, rafting, safari, canyon, and city tours over different days, you can create a comprehensive Alanya holiday plan.

Sample program: Day 1 Alanya City and Castle Tour, Day 2 Alanya Boat Tour, Day 3 Sapadere Canyon Tour, Day 4 Rafting or Buggy Safari, Day 5 Green Canyon or Turkish Bath.
