Very nice boat trip - We didn't see any dolphins, but it was still a great boat trip. There were four swimming breaks and the view was breathtaking. Lunch was plentiful and delicious. At the end there was a foam party and a show by the "pirate". I can only recommend it.

Great Dotphin Island (boat name) trip - I was confused at the beginning as I thought that we will be attending to the Dolphin Island, but it's actually a boat name. A wee disappointment followed by pleasant experience 🙂 Short drive to the boat, beutifil views and dip in the river and in the sea,with a beutiful old town Side ruins seen from the sea side :-) Tasty lunch,great DJ on the bord,foam party,great weather relaxing time and blue sea! Really enjoyed this day! 👌 The most pleasant was communication with Mete the trip advisor who made this trip easy, clear and with no issues at all!

Good day trip - Everything as described. The time given is approximately the pick-up time (important to know) and not the departure time of the boat. You are contacted via WhatsApp. I thought that was good too! Otherwise it was really nice. Unfortunately we didn't see any dolphins, but we still had a whole day with music and swimming in the sea. Can be done well with children - ours were 12 and 6

100% recommended - Our trip was very good value for money. We was collected from our hotel and taken to the boat. Boat was very clean, drinks were fairly priced, food was excellent and an all out great family day out. The stops on the way are great. We did see sea turtles ut unfortunately no dolphins. I'd be sure to go again. The staff were friendly and so helpful. I'd recommend to anybody.

Worth joining! - Tour was fantastic. Very organized and entertaining, but feel a bit long (from 8:30am until 6pm). I think the same seaside in a tour should be once, otherwise a bit boring. However, boat stuffs are all kind and helpful. Food was fresh and warm. Especially both picking up and drop at the hotel was so impressive! Thank you very much for your great help, Mete🙏 We’ll definitely choose your tour in the future again.

Nothing was as advertised - Absolute false advertisement. We was supposed to go yesterday and waited outside the hotel for 45 minutes and then was told we would go today instead. We were collected at 8:35am today, then taken to a boat (in manavgat, not kumkoy as adverised) which we sat on in a junk yard type area of a river for an hour and a half before it finally set sail. We were at sea for less than an hour. We booked this believing we would sail past the ruins and temple of apollo, have 3 opportunities to swim in the sea, potentially see dolphins, sail around an island advertised as "dolphin island" and have a foam party. We didn't see the temple or ruins, there were no swimming opportunities at all, we did not see any dolphins, we didn't sail anywhere near an island and there was no foam party. Instead we had a short time at sea (less than an hour), stopped at a litter filled beach for an hour on the main land and then was told we could either go to a bazaar or pay extra to see a waterfall. I have requested a refund. Hektor Tourism haven't replied directly to me so I contacted Viator who have said they will request a refund but no guarantee. Total rip off.

AVOID AT ALL COST!!!!!! - Complete waste of money a disguised scam described as a boat trip it goes on all day and they are constantly selling you things, they have a photographer that goes in a mood when you dont want to buy his pictures the staff on the boat including the captain are rude they offer you a jet ski for additional money and dont even complete the time offered and then have a go at you if you try and complete the 15 minutes offered! The boat went on for over 6 hours in which over half the passengers fell asleep as everyone was shattered and couldn’t wait to get back home. Noone on this boat ride looked like they was enjoying themselves at all. Just in constant water no mention of any dolphins at all. STAY AWAY AND DONT BOOK THEY ARE ON A SCAM!!
