A comfortable, modern vehicle will pick you up from your accommodation in Fethiye, ensuring a seamless start to your journey. Transfers are included in the tour price, saving you the hassle of arranging transport. From there, you’ll head to Dalyan, a charming riverside town.

Upon arrival, a traditional boat awaits to take you on a serene cruise along the Dalyan River. The lush landscapes and calm waters provide the perfect backdrop for your adventure. As you glide through the river, the natural beauty of the region unfolds, preparing you for the exciting stops ahead.

The mud baths offer a unique experience that blends relaxation and fun. Cover yourself in the mineral-rich mud, known for its skin-rejuvenating properties, and then rinse off in the warm thermal springs. This activity is not only beneficial for your skin but also a playful highlight of the day.

This trip was exceptionally well organized and incredibly enjoyable. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly and went out of his way to assist us, and the rest of the staff were great as well. We loved every part of the day and the Dalyan River is absolutely stunning. We had a lot of fun at the mud baths and thermals, and the ancient tombs were truly impressive. Lunch was tasty and filling, and we were thrilled to see so many large turtles. The beach was lovely; we chose to relax in the shade with drinks while our kids enjoyed the sea. The blue crab was delicious, and the turtles happily ate the leftovers nothing went to waste. There was a professional photographer on board who took many fantastic photos. We worried the price to buy them might be high, but it was actually very reasonable, and the photos were special keepsakes. We were picked up on time, and the transport was very comfortable. The journey from Fethiye felt short thanks to a rest stop, and the route showcased some beautiful scenery. We all absolutely loved everything!

Honestly, it was an incredible experience from the fascinating facts to the stunning views, it was well worth the cost. Some of my past trips have felt overwhelming, but this one was smooth from the bus ride to the boat where we saw massive, beautiful turtles. The mud baths were definitely unusual but a once in a lifetime experience.Our tour guide, was wonderful and spoke excellent English. Also, if you're offered drinks on the boat, don’t miss the pomegranate juice because it’s 100% organic, and I think I drank four bottles! All in all, I’d absolutely recommend this trip.

You’ll be picked up from your hotel by bus along with a guide. Ours was hilarious, which made the day even better. First, you visit the mud baths, followed by a tasty lunch. Then you cruise along the tombs of Dalyan by boat and head to Turtle Beach. At the end of the day, you’re brought back to your hotel. Highly recommended!

We had a lovely time. The food was excellent, the staff were wonderful, and booking the trip was simple. It started raining while we were on the boat, so I’d recommend bringing a hoodie just in case. I celebrated my birthday on board and it was amazing. The whole trip was very well organized.

Our family had a fantastic day out. The tour guide was very informative, sharing lots of interesting details about the sights and history as we cruised along the river between stops. The trip didn’t feel rushed at all and we had plenty of time to enjoy both the mud baths and Turtle Beach. We had the chance to try some blue crab during the tour, which was absolutely delicious, and toward the end, we spotted about 4–5 turtles swimming near the beach. Since we drove from outside Fethiye, the team kindly helped us return to our parked cars, although they also offered bus transfers for hotel guests in Fethiye. A photographer was onboard and captured lots of great moments throughout the trip, with the option to purchase the photos afterwards. We’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in experiencing the Turkish mud baths by boat. The excursion team and Guest Relations Department were both very helpful and responsive, especially as we figured out where to meet—when the coach was running late, they even contacted the boat driver to update us. If you have dietary restrictions, it’s worth checking with the restaurant in advance. Some members of our group had limited gluten/dairy options, and the lunch was a bit restricted for them. We also suggest choosing the chicken over the fish the fish had very little meat and a lot of bones. Lastly, don’t forget to bring some cash (Turkish Lira), as all snacks and drinks on the boat, as well as drinks at the restaurant, need to be paid for separately.

What an incredible day. The weather was perfect, our guide was excellent, and the group was a nice manageable size. The mud baths were great fun especially since we arrived early before the crowds. The buffet food was decent and did the job. We didn’t spot many turtles, but that didn’t take away from the overall experience. It was a long day, but absolutely worth it. Came back happily exhausted.
