Highlights
  • Manavgat - Sun, sea, and swimming are just a few of the things that make this boat trip so relaxing. Sailing in a traditional Turkish gulet, you’ll enjoy an open bar, a chance to swim and snorkel and a tasty local lunch. All the ingredients for a great day on the waves.

You’ll climb aboard a traditional gulet boat and set sail out of Side. Cruising Turkey’s Mediterranean coast, you’ll grab a drink from the bar and admire the views as you sit back, relax and top up your tan.

Dropping anchor, you’ll stop off for a dip in the sea whilst back on board the crew prepares a delicious lunch. And after your fill of food, there’s plenty more time to unwind as we take a leisurely sail back

Very good value for family day trip. - Excellent value trip with transfers, lunch, foam party, 4 swimming spots and a very helpful, multilingual crew all included. Good selection of reasonably priced drinks and snacks, to complement a tasty lunch. Kids loved it and we saw lots of turtles, as a bonus. Thank you all.

A nice bathing trip - Today we did the Dolphin Island cruise. We were picked up by a bus directly at the hotel. Because the bus was delayed at first and we got a bit nervous after 30 minutes of waiting, I wrote to Gafar, the contact who told us the pick-up time via WhatsApp the day before. He replied directly and contacted the driver, who then arrived a short moment later. The ship had three decks each also with shade places. On the upper deck you could lie down on sun mats. The bottom of the ship (at least on the 2. Deck) was quite slippery, so some guests fell or slipped away. During the tour there were always entertainment programs for young and old guests. At 4 points the ship has stopped for bathing stops. The shortest stop went 25 minutes, the longest over an hour. At two bathing stops the sea was so deep that it was allowed to jump off the ship (even from the upper deck,- I mean 7 meters). Turtles we have seen many swimming in the sea. Unfortunately, dolphins don't. The included lunch was good. No more, no less. There were also freshly prepared gozlems and sweet and salty snacks at fair prices on board. Water costs 1 Euro, other soft drinks 2 Euro, beer 3 Euro. Towards the end, a great foam party was held on a deck. Everybody had fun. The toilet system was cleaned regularly. For us, this trip was worth it. I can recommend him to others.

Lovely day on the sea - Perfect day! Lovely swim stops, nice lunch and we spotted dolphins! I was afraid it was going to be very loud music, but it was not at all. We loved the experience, and the pick up service worked great.

Fun family day out - Good fun day out for the family. We only managed to see one dolphin but there were lots of turtles and the activities kept us busy. Lots of swim stops to cool off and kids loved the foam party. Good value for money.
