Getting to the canyon from Belek
The road runs east behind the resorts, past Manavgat, then turns inland and climbs to the Oymapınar dam in the Western Taurus. The reservoir behind it holds 300 million cubic metres of water across about 4.7 square kilometres, and the four turbines that empty it sit underground, out of sight of the boats.

Road distances and drive times are approximate, measured with no traffic and no hotel-collection loop — the ride on the day takes longer.
How pickup really works
Because only two departures serve this resort, the coach is committed: it collects, it leaves, and there is no later one behind it. Your exact time is confirmed the evening before, and being ready ahead of it matters more here than anywhere else on the coast.
The honest trade-off from Belek
Seventy minutes is a free-flow figure with no traffic and no collection loop, so the real ride is longer. The honest constraint is the calendar rather than the road — if Monday and Thursday do not fit your week, the trip does not fit either, and no amount of asking changes the schedule.
The two-day schedule is in the title of this page, in the paragraph above and in the answers below on purpose. A guest who books believing otherwise is a guest standing outside a hotel on a Tuesday with nobody coming.
