Great boat trip to mud baths.

Pick up was delayed but sorted in the end. Large boat trip was great . Sevice and staff great. Small boat to mud bath was good too. Turtle beach is becoming more of a tourist trap. You now have to pay 50 lire to use WC. Mud baths usual madness but great.

Fun all day boat trip to Dalyan

Wonderful day out, very well organised. Staff were helpful and friendly. The boat trip was all about the experience and the leisurely pace and the stops along the way added to this. Thanks to Osman and all the staff for making this a memorable trip.

Not quite as advertised

Not quite as advertised. all the stops were very rushed . The swim stop only lasted about 10 minutes, we would have liked to spend longer than an hour on the fabulous Turtle beach and the visit to the mudbaths was so rushed we didn't even have time for the mud to dry nor time to soak in the mineral pool. It was also a shame so little information was provided about the amazing tombs. A beautiful place reduced to a whistle stop tour. On the positive side the journey there was much more pleasant than being stuck on a long bus trip. Beautiful scenery sunbathing on deck!

Diving Boat Tour

A beautiful boat tour of historic sites, isolated coves, was an unpretentious excursion. The mud bath and cartridge potters are worth an interesting experience
