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

Highly recommended - Very personable helmsman with good humor. Lunch was very good. Regular bath breaks and additional information about the places where you are. Have even seen dolphins and turtles.

Party boat with Views! - We saw Dolphins and sea turtles! More likely a partyboat, if you are not looking for loud music, this boat is not for you. But a lot of animation, great for kids, very comfortable boat! The swim breaks were great! The food is good!

A must - Pickup worked on time, then quickly to the boat. We were lucky and the boat was only 25% full. Great atmosphere, great organization. We really enjoyed it with the bath breaks. Food was also delicious and the other prices perfectly ok. We had a wonderful day at sea and will definitely do it again.

Beautiful views - The trip was really great. You can see quite great sea, partly crystal clear. There are many swimming stops with opportunities for snorkeling. We had a lot of entertainment, also made super nice for kids with foam party etc. For us as a couple it was a bit too loud but definitely great for families with children. We didn't see dolphins, but we saw water turtles. Food was great too.

Varied day with great swim stops - The whole family (10-77 years) agreed: The Dolphin Island Cruise was our most beautiful holiday day! We had good places on the Baba boat, everyone was very friendly and in a good mood. The swim stops were great, the kids especially liked the opportunity to jump off the ship. The foam party on the way back was fun and very casual (nobody “had” to participate). Highly recommended tour from start to finish! 👍

Successful day trip for the family with a lot of bathing fun. - Great experience for the family, variety and fun. Cosy tour along the coast with some bath breaks. One could watch turtles, there was a delicious lunch and subsequent foam party on board. Always happy to.

Nice boat trip - Overall, I am satisfied with everything from transfers to boat trips. The only thing I might be able to highlight is that I personally would have appreciated a more laid off boat but fun for children and other adults with foam party. I was thinking more about the foam released to marine life and that it should be a non-toxic foam. But apart from the good! Many bathing stops, would have liked a few more. No dolphins were seen but a turtle, feels that it is more important that not the animals than that we should have to see them. All in all satisfied 🥰
