The tour was generally enjoyable. We were picked up from our hotel, but the shuttle was a bit late. After a short ride, we boarded the boat where the photos were taken; the prices were reasonable, especially compared to the hotel photographer. However, the snacks and drinks on board were quite expensive. I think if the prices were lower, more people would have taken them. The restrooms on board were clean, and the itinerary was as advertised. We didn't see any dolphins or turtles, but considering how busy the sea was, that's understandable; it's not something the tour company can control. All in all, we got exactly what we paid for.

Speaking with fellow passengers confirmed we made the right choice booking through this platform, as others who paid higher prices elsewhere didn't even receive complimentary beverages.

We had an excellent excursion overall. The transport arrived precisely on schedule, the vessel was well maintained, and the midday meal was particularly enjoyable. That said, the itinerary differed from what we anticipated rather than venturing out to sea to observe marine life, we spent limited time at the foam party before being redirected to the waterfall and local market. While these alternatives were pleasant enough, they didn't match our original expectations.

The music was very loud on the lower deck during these events, but when we mentioned it to the crew, they quickly sorted it out.

Although the tour was originally planned for 7 hours, we ended up spending 9 hours out at sea, which was a pleasant surprise. The value for money was excellent. Sadly, we didn’t spot any dolphins, but that’s just a matter of chance.

Everything ran smoothly from the moment we were picked up until we returned. Communication with the tour operator was clear and easy. We really enjoyed the onboard entertainment and the food. Jumping off the boat was a highlight for us. Although we didn’t spot any dolphins, we knew that wasn’t guaranteed. All in all, it was a worthwhile experience.

We spent the entire day cruising along the Green River and a stretch of the sea. We stopped briefly at a beach and enjoyed a tasty lunch. While sailing towards Dolphin Island, we were lucky enough to see some dolphins. At the island, I had the chance to swim in the sea for about thirty minutes. On the way back, there was a foam party, a surprise performance by the staff, and great music to keep the fun going.

The boat excursion was truly stunning.The entertainment was excellent and made the experience incredibly enjoyable. Although we didn’t spot any dolphins or sea turtles, that’s no fault of the crew it’s simply down to luck.

The guide was excellent and also spoke German, which was helpful. However, the beer on board was quite pricey. Some staff at the all you can drink bar seemed a bit unfriendly. I was a bit disappointed that we spotted many dolphins far off, around 200 to 300 meters to the left side of the boat, but unfortunately, we didn’t get any closer even though everyone was watching that way. The trip included three swimming stops once at a river mouth, then on an island, and again back at the river mouth. Near the end, there was a fantastic foam party that was a lot of fun.

The entire trip was smoot coordinated. We had three opportunities to swim, and the meal provided was very tasty.

A lovely excursion that included swimming in refreshing freshwater as well as warm seawater. Unfortunately, we did not see any dolphins near the beach.
Helpful? Yes
Overall, the boat trip was wonderful, with very friendly staff and stunning scenery. The only downside was that we ended up sitting directly beneath the speakers, so the music and the guide’s announcements were quite loud.
Helpful? Yes
From the moment we were picked up until we were dropped off, the staff went above and beyond to ensure the day ran smoothly and was enjoyable. Given the affordable price, we didn’t have high expectations at first. The boat was a bit crowded and somewhat disorganized when we boarded, so we weren’t sure what to expect. However, we were happy with the three swimming stops included. We were lucky enough to spot dolphins, thanks to another boat that informed us where to look. The lunch was tasty, and alcoholic beverages were available at reasonable prices. The toilets were clean, and the boat was well-maintained overall. We were among the few British passengers, which didn’t matter, although some of the music played was quite intense and unfamiliar some variety during the foam party and dance portion would have been nice. Overall, I’d recommend this trip for anyone looking to enjoy a fun day on the water.
Helpful? Yes
The crew was very welcoming and did their best to keep us entertained throughout the trip. We even got to see a group of dolphins, which really excited everyone on board. It's a good idea to board the boat quickly to get better seats. The music can be quite loud, and you'll have to sail a long way before you reach the island, so keep that in mind. Overall, it was a long trip; we returned to the hotel about nine hours after being picked up.
Helpful? Yes
The team was incredibly friendly, and the food served was very tasty. However, the tour felt a bit too lengthy. Also, dolphins were never mentioned as part of the itinerary.
Helpful? Yes
This trip offered great value and provided an enjoyable day overall. The only minor downside was some unexpected extra charges, which slightly affected the experience. Aside from that, the main disappointment was not seeing any dolphins.

For hotels located in the Old City, the pickup point is not directly at your hotel but rather at the city entrance. The staff put in a lot of effort to ensure guests have a pleasant experience. Although Dolphin Island was somewhat disappointing, we were fortunate to spot three dolphins on the return trip. The lunch served was delicious, but drinks and snacks like ice cream on board were quite pricey. This tour is suitable for people of all ages.
Helpful? Yes
Overall, the trip was enjoyable. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, although the driver seemed irritated most of the time. The food was delicious. In my opinion, the experience would have been ideal if it had been shortened by about two hours.
Helpful? Yes
Overall, it was an enjoyable day trip with some memorable moments, though there were a few drawbacks. The food and drinks provided were satisfactory. We especially appreciated the dolphin sightings, which the crew mentioned hadn’t happened in a long time. Unfortunately, the trip felt quite crowded throughout both the bus transfer was packed, and there was limited shade available on the boat. It would have been nicer to have more variety in the swimming stops since we visited the same spot twice, aside from Dolphin Island. The tour lasts nearly the whole day, so that’s something to keep in mind. Despite these points, it offered good value for the price and was a lively experience.
Helpful? Yes
The boat trip was quite enjoyable overall. However, the choice of island destination might benefit from reconsideration, as the island itself is small, rocky, and not particularly scenic.
Helpful? Yes
I really enjoyed the trip and the food was tasty, but the music on the boat was a bit too loud to be comfortable.
Helpful? Yes
The boat tour was enjoyable, but I wouldn’t count on spotting many dolphins. The transfer was done in older buses without air conditioning, which was uncomfortable and led me to deduct a point.
Helpful? Yes
Overall, we really enjoyed the day.Everything matched the description and ran without any issues. Drinks were included all day long. Naturally, anything else available for purchase on the boat was a bit pricier. The final swim stop felt unnecessary, and the journey back to the pier took a very long time because the captain sailed quite slowly. In total, the trip lasted around nine hours.
Helpful? Yes
The itinerary was lively, the food was delicious and the staff was welcoming. The kids had a lot of fun at the foam party.

The trip offers good value considering the long duration, but it does feel very focused on profit. There was a lot of pressure to buy additional items, especially directed at the kids, which became quite overwhelming.

It’s essentially a cruise along the Manavgat River, without anything especially remarkable, aside from the sea stop where you can dive off the boat. The crew did a nice job, the meal was decent, and overall the experience matched the price.
Helpful? Yes
Sadly, our experience wasn’t the best, as we didn’t make it out to the open sea. We were told the wind conditions were too strong, so the trip stayed on the river, moving back and forth with just one stop at a beach near the river’s mouth. It left us feeling a bit disappointed and wishing for something more.
Helpful? Yes
The boat tour itself was enjoyable, but the way it was advertised regarding dolphin sightings felt a bit deceptive. With so many boats in the area, it's unlikely any dolphins would actually come near Dolphin Island.
Helpful? Yes
The swimming part was really enjoyable, but aside from that, the experience felt mostly focused on trying to get people to spend more money.
Helpful? Yes
I was disappointed that none of the historical landmarks that were advertised were actually part of the tour.
Helpful? Yes
The tour mainly includes visits to two beaches one of them named Dolphin Island, though you shouldn’t count on spotting any dolphins. It felt more like a basic boat ride overall and didn’t really justify the cost. The trip finishes with a small foam party.
Helpful? Yes
Unfortunately, the tour felt overly long, with the majority of the time spent just sitting. I wouldn’t suggest this tour to others.
Helpful? Yes
The guide really made an effort to keep the cruise entertaining he was both humorous and attentive. That said, the trip isn’t ideal for kids, as they ended up completely worn out. The constant smell of cigarette smoke was also unpleasant. At Dolphin Island, the boat anchored too far from shore, so the children couldn’t swim. While life jackets were available, not all kids feel confident enough to jump in under those conditions.
Helpful? Yes
It was quite a letdown since the activity that was meant to be part of the experience never actually happened.

I’ve been on plenty of boat tours, but this one was definitely the most disappointing. The entire trip lasted only about 1.5 hours, with two identical stops at the same island once on the way there and again on the return seemingly just to kill time and steer people toward overpriced jet skis, snacks, and drinks sold at a rather unclean beach area. The swimming break wasn’t even in a scenic spot; it was crowded with boats releasing fuel into the water. Drinks on board were also double the normal price. I wouldn’t suggest this trip — the larger boats offer better swim locations and more pleasant views. And to top it off, the crew pretended to spot dolphins last minute just to hype everyone up, only to say they had “dived deep” and we missed them. Very frustrating.

Unfortunately, this trip wasn't suitable for children. There were no programs or activities specifically for children. The music playing downstairs was extremely loud and distracting. While the staff were always friendly, the overall experience was impersonal, almost like part of a mass produced event. During our first break at the beach, which lasted about an hour, they tried to charge us extra for a sunbed. We swam afterwards, but weren't given any information about dolphins or anything else. Then we went back to the beach, which was really unnecessary. Overall, it wasn't a very enjoyable trip.
Helpful? Yes
This felt like a complete scam, a way to get more money. We stopped at what looked like a run down settlement, where we were constantly pressured to buy things or rent jet skis. Lunch was mediocre at best a very thin piece of chicken, overly salty rice, sour salad, and only a small piece of bread. The music was unbearably loud, almost painful, and the boat was packed with no comfortable seating. Some of the crew were quite rude and impatient, barely paying any attention to you. The final stop, known as Dolphin Island, was definitely not worth the four hour journey. On the way back, we stopped again at the same run-down settlement. I would not recommend this trip to anyone.
Helpful? Yes
I definitely wouldn’t recommend this trip. It ended up being a long, dull boat ride, and the swimming stops seemed more like opportunities to squeeze money out of tourists with perfume sales on the beach, fresh juice vendors, and even camels. Contrary to what was promised, the all inclusive drinks deal is misleading only still water, Coke, and Fanta are included; everything else comes at a steep extra cost. Ice cream is given out during the trip, but shortly after, someone comes around to collect payment with no clear pricing provided. Another frustrating tactic is the photographer who roams the boat with an assistant and a parrot, snapping pictures of everyone without asking and then handing out printed photos, frames, and plates at the end, expecting you to buy them. If you refuse, their attitude turns unpleasant. The boldest part is at the conclusion when they pass around a wooden box for tips, making you feel pressured to contribute.
Helpful? Yes
The boat didn’t have any loungers, even though the description said there would be. Since all the seats were taken, we had to sit on mats on the floor. It felt like a very impersonal, rushed experience. A parrot was brought around for photos with the guests, which I found to be a bit cruel to the animal. I wouldn’t recommend this trip it simply isn’t worth the price. We got off at the first stop and decided to cancel the rest of the activity.
