Recommended, but read in advance! - Pros: Enthusiastic, friendly captain will take you to beautiful places. During the break you get a great lunch (you were also allowed to serve extra if you didn't have enough) and you have 3 moments in which you can swim (including a moment in a cave). As a surprise, we also had a foam party on the boat at the end. We read in a review that the music was too loud. This did not bother us, the music created atmosphere among all the people on the boat and there was a lot of dancing! We found the crew working very pleasant. A cozy atmosphere is created on board and you will be well taken care of! There was plenty of water and soft drinks and if you wanted to buy something to eat, you could do so. Negatives: We indicated that we wanted to be picked up from our hotel. This van was WAY too full! Very unsafe and not pleasant. There were about 20 of us crammed into a small van. Half of them weren't even sitting on a chair. This mainly ensures that our experience does not deserve 5 stars! We expected to be able to swim in more caves, but unfortunately we didn't spot any turtles or dolphins (of course it doesn't depend entirely on the captain or experience). You have to pay for photos that are taken, which you will see (have already been printed). If you buy 1 photo it is €3. Please indicate if you only want to buy 1 photo, otherwise they will sell you frames and booklets. (Expensive). Tip: take snorkeling gear with you. We didn't have this with us and we were disappointed about it.

Wonderful view - Really nice view of Alanya's coast. Good treatment by captain and his men. Really good chicken and pasta. You get what you pay for, not a luxury boat or anything like that but nice chairs/benches to sit on and mats to lie and sunbathe on. Good entertainment on the boat also by the captain and mate ✌🏽

Decent trip wit enough to do to pass the time - Decent trip, sea was a bit rough so catermeran was prob best choice looking at some of the boats. Transfers worked well. Booked online myself as prices for such trips seemed all over the place from the hotel/tour operators. Bit of a free for all finding seats/space and crew were ok but not too attentive. Top deck bathing mattresses were v old and 15min swim time per stop didn’t seem much but found didn’t need loads of time in the water given it was choppy etc

Nice boat trip - Nice boat trip! The first part took a very long time before it was possible to swim. After that, lots of swimming and a foam party. Music on the loud side, but we could have turned it down a bit.

Not what we booked at all- no snorkelling and very limited swimming - Had issues with anchor (I think?) as we were delayed setting off and there were lots of stressed looking members of staff trying to sort out the problem at the front of the boat. No one actually updated us or apologised for the delays or explained what was happening. We got a large table on the lower deck of the boat as we wanted shade. There seemed to be plenty of seating up and downstairs which was a pleasant surprise as it initially seemed like a lot of people were piling onto the boat. Once we set off we were supposedly looking for dolphins, didn’t see any though. Had our first swimming stop but was so chaotic. We had literally 5 mins in the water before whistles were being blown to say we need to return to the boat for lunch. We had barely started to swim! Lunch was one piece of chicken, a spoonful of tomato spaghetti, a roll and a small limp salad all served in a polystyrene tray. It was all nice enough but not the ‘BBQ lunch’ we were expecting. It also seemed rushed and unorganised. Afterwards on the tannoy we were told that melon and ice cream was for dessert on the upper deck, so we went up to get ice cream. It was actually just ice lollies and after taking 2 we’re we’re asked to pay 2 euros each! They had not made it clear that this was not part of the free lunch. Drinks (cola, sprite, Fanta or water) we’re all free and you helped yourself to the big bottles and poured into plastic cups. Alcohol was extra cost and quite pricey (5 euros for a bottle of corona beer). We sailed for a while, a foam party followed lunch even though this had not been advertised on the booking and really as a family we had not wanted a boat with a foam party so had thought that we had booked one without. We had another swim stop near a cave and some rocks. It was a pretty area but again we were in the water no more than 5 minutes before we were being called back again. It made no sense to us and all just seemed so rushed. Once back on the boat, we sailed a bit further up past the cave, and then watched two members of the crew climb up the rocks and dive into the sea. It was entertaining but we would have preferred to have been swimming or diving ourselves. They also threw some of the lunch rolls in the sea and we saw them get eaten but done unidentifiable fish, the bread just disappeared but we didn’t actually see the fish. After that we made our way back to the harbour. There were no more swimming opportunities and we did not see the supposed 3 different caves advertised. There was no mention of snorkelling at any time despite this also being advertised and one of the main reasons we booked this particular trip. Even if snorkels had been available the times in the water was not long enough to see anything anyway. We had also been under the impression that we were stopping off near to Cleopatra beach again. This was written on the Viator website when we booked. However there was no beach stop. We only saw a beach in the distance and I’m unsure whether that was Cleopatra beach or not. In total, we have on the boat for around 10 am to 3 pm, but we didn’t actually set sailing until 11 am so it was a four hour excursion at sea. Some ‘professional’ photos were taken at one point and we bought one of these as they were relatively cheap. Overall, not the day out that we had booked or paid for and would not recommend

Would not book again - The boat felt overcrowded, I thought it was gonna be smaller and more calm. Very short stops, you barely get to jump in the water before it was time to get up again. 5-10 minutes in the water and 3 stops, I would expect a lot more for a 5 hour tour. The pictures also showed swimming near caves but none of the stops had a cave in sight. "Snorkeling" was also mentioned several times both in the event name and in the description. "Equipment" was listed under the Included stuff, "maybe snorkeling equipment then" I thought, but I didn't see any so I don't know what kind of equipment they were talking about. Now for the lunch that was included, the pasta was okay but the chicken was dry, pretty small portions too. The reason I selected this tour was because it seemed more like a swim tour and not a party tour like the pirate ships, but I was wrong. Loud overplayed songs blared from low quality speakers for 5 hours straight. I still had a decent time though, but I wouldn't book this again.
