How Hotel Pickup Works: Lists, Gates and WhatsApp Confirmations

Hotel pickup follows a published list with fixed times per stop. If your property is not on it, you share the nearest listed hotel's time and the exact point gets confirmed on WhatsApp.

Pickup runs on a fixed list: every stop carries a set time for each session, from 09:45 on the north shore rounds to 10:45 at the self-arrival point. Your hotel's name at booking determines your slot, and the booking confirmation prints the time you will be collected.

If your hotel is not on the list, nothing breaks: the owner rule says you are collected with the listed hotel within walking distance, at that hotel's time, and the office confirms your exact point on WhatsApp. A few resorts add a wrinkle called the security gate: at properties like Kuştur, Tusan, Atlantique or the Pamucak hotels, the van cannot drive inside, so you wait at the gate rather than reception.

How it works

• The list: fixed pickup times per stop, 09:45 to 10:45 for the morning tour
• Unlisted hotels: unlisted hotels share the nearest listed property's time, confirmed on WhatsApp
• Gate pickups: security-gate resorts collect at the gate, not the lobby

What the ride looks like

Once wheels move, the day runs identically for every guest: briefing, the convoy ride on the beach and the inland dunes, a sea break halfway, return to the trailhead.

The return leg lands you back around 13:30 to 14:00 on the morning session or 18:30 to 19:00 on the afternoon session.

Worth knowing

Be out at your point a few minutes early; the round is a schedule, and a two-minute wait at the gate beats a missed van.

Traffic can nudge a pickup a few minutes either way, so plan around the confirmed time in your WhatsApp message and be out a little early.

Common questions

How will I recognise the vehicle?

The office confirms your point and time on WhatsApp, and the driver knows your name and booking. You will not be guessing in a crowd.

What if I am late to the pickup point?

Message or call on WhatsApp immediately. If the van has already left the stop, the team tells you whether a catch-up or the meeting point is the realistic fix.

How long is the tour?

The ride runs at the guide's pace with a swim break midway, plus transfers each side. Morning guests are back around 13:30 to 14:00.

Can two of us share one vehicle?

Yes, book a double: driver plus passenger, with a swap allowed at the break if both qualify to drive.
