DIY Bodrum Shore Excursion

It was very easy to do this trip from a cruise ship. Highly recommend! Beautiful water and relaxing vibe onboard. Great value for a full day experience while in Bodrum.

Good value trip but very cramped!

This is a good value trip with lunch included and we also added on the transfers (which were late), however, it was not the most enjoyable. We were quite crammed on with not enough seats for everyone to be seated for lunch, upstairs people were lay all over the floor and you had difficulty to walk through the deck, treading on people. The team were not the most friendly (until it came to asking for tips) and we could not hear anything they announced during the trip. The stops themselves were ok, Orak is very pretty but bear in mind that there will be around 20 other boats at the same time lined up together side by side, so there is only a small space to swim. We did our trip on a Saturday so maybe this is the reason it was so busy. Lots of 'Instagram vs Reality' moments!

Day out to sea.

Boat left late but asked for earlier embarking. Location in viator showed wrong pier entirely so ask for the boat with the locals. They played awful music really loud and totally wrong genre of music to the crowd. Was mixed young and old and families. Hardly rap crowd. Food was ok, cup.of pasta, half a cup of chicken cooked and cup.of salad. No fruits but all the staff were having nice plates of food compared. Was back ca 17:45. So almost a full.day. bays are having too many boats all.at same time so have to be careful not to be swimming in a.coming boats way. So not very great planned stops. Was at least easy ladders to.get up and down and the over deck was pretty ok. Some sun and some.shade. ice cream was overpriced. There is a photographer who took nice pics. Worth the 10€.
