Fun and interesting tour - Tour guides and staff were very nice, swimming breaks and you get to visit the beach which is great. Lunch included is very nice and bar has reasonable prices for drinks, ice cream, etc. Photographer on the boat takes great pictures and they are available to buy, I believe €5 each or cheaper if you get more. Overall I would recommend, great for couples and families we would do a tour with this company again!

Great value for money - I booked this trip through TripAdvisor before Travelling to Turkey. I am so glad I did!
I was collected from my hotel at 9am where I was taken to a meeting point to join a bus to take us to the boat. The bus journey itself had a great atmoshere with the music playing on a open side bus.
When arriving to the boat you are asked to choose your lunch option Chicken or fish.
Once onboard you choose where you want to sit there are 3 decks. 1st and second deck was sheltered from the sun and the top deck was great if you wanted to sunbathe.
Drinks and snacks available at the bar. Not to badly priced about the same as any restaurant.
The first stop was at a lovely batch with the river one side and the Mediterranean the other for swimming.There were pancakes being cooked on the beach as well as orange juice freshly squeezed to buy. You stay here for about an hour.
When you get back on the boat you have your lunch I had chicken couscous salad and crusty bread it was very good.
You continue onto Dolphin island where you have another swimming break, you can jump off the boat at this point. You carry on to look for Dolphins which in my case we never saw but it is not guaranteed that you will.
A foam party on the second deck when you are heading back is great fun.
The staff were always coming round asking if they can get you anything from the bar and offering ice creams they were very helpful and friendly.
There was a parrot for you to have your photo taken with for you to buy if you wanted to I had one of my photos put on a plate see pics which cost €10 very good value and a great keep sake of your trip.
The music on the boat is great and creates a great atmosphere. When they played the Titanic classic it made me smile lol
On the way back you stop again at the first stop where there are jet skis if you want to have a go.
The trip was a great day out at a great price well work the money.
I was taken back to my hotel for about 5pm.

Brilliant - We had a fantastic trip and highly recommend this trip. Really good fun. Just the right amount of boat time to off boat swimming time etc. We were picked up on time outside our hotel and dropped back fine. Staff were great fun, polite and service was superb. Food was good. Choice of chicken or fish. Simple but tasty. On board Drinks were reasonably priced and you could also opt to go all inclusive when booking the trip. Foam Party was great fun! Hard to fault this trip. Overall, great trip and great value!
Would definitely recommend this trip for all ages!!!

Excellent Trip superb value - Booked this trip directly on trip advisor (cheaper than local trip sellers) picked up bang on time from our hotel and taken to the boat.
Small wait on the boat whilst other coaches arrived and then set sail.
Initially thought we would be pressured into photos with the ships parrot and for rest of the day but pleasantly surprised to be asked just the one and no pressure when we declined - well done a real positive for us. Sailed up the river with interesting views of the local shipping industry alongside modern 5 star hotels and trout fisheries. 1st stop was at the mouth of the river where it meets the sea. Great value here from the beach sellers for drinks and crepes and jet skis (10min 20 euros great value) also a chance to swim in the sea and river - both fun. Set sail into the sea towards SiDE and then had lunch of chicken, rice, salad and bread.
On arrival into SiDE there was another opportunity to jump off the boat into the sea and swim around for about 40 minutes.
Leave SiDE we headed back towards Mangavat and then (for us) the highlight of the foam party. I’ve seen other pics with other tours and it looked a bit bubbly but this was seriously a full on party and disco on the 2nd deck - our 8 yr old loved it as did old and young people on the boat - really good, really foamy and great disco/dance music.
The boat sailed back into the estuary where there was another opportunity to swim in the warm sea or cold river (such a contrast) and then we headed back to the starting point and coaches back to the hotel.
All in all a great day, great value for money, no pressure to buy or do anything on the whole day - thank you

Superb Day!! - We had a fantastic trip and highly recommend this trip. Really good fun. Just the right amount of boat time to off boat swimming time etc.
We were picked up on time outside our hotel and dropped back fine. Bit of an old rickety bus (don’t expect AC and luxury comfort) but it didn’t bother us.
Staff were great fun, polite and service was superb. Food was good. Choice of chicken or fish. Simple but tasty. It was served a little early for us at 1130 but no big issue really - I guess that suits the logistics of a party trip like that. On our trip there were not enough seats for some people to have lunch so there I would advise to get on board ASAP and secure a seat.
On board Drinks were reasonably priced.
Foam Party was great fun!
Hard to fault this trip. The only thing we weren’t too keen on the use of a big Parrot used to entice sales of photos. Not cool. But I guess Turkey are not so up to speed with animal welfare. Expected, but not appreciated. But they weren’t pushy for sales, so it was fine.
Overall, great trip and great value!

Fantastic Day - We just got back from this boat tour and had a great time. As it was so well priced, we didn’t expect much but it was a perfect day! We were picked up quickly, 3 swim stops which were beautiful and great fun, a lovely lunch of grilled chicken or fish with rice and salad and then a foam party which everyone of all ages enjoyed. The staff were great and very friendly. They excelled our expectations and made sure we and everyone else had a good time. Would definitely recommend!! Great value for money but above all an outstanding service and experience. Thank you!!

Side boat Trip 17th Sept 2019 - Boat trip was done in amble time according to the swim stops, River Manvagat was freezing but welcome relief from the hot sun. Lunch was more than sufficient, choice of Chicken or Fish with mixed salad and what appears to some sort of puffed rice/pasta with 2 pieces of bread. Drinks are NOT included. Foam party was a laugh the kids on the boat loved it as did the grown ups!!!
Our bus driver was so funny we stopped three times on return back to hotels so he and passengers could dance in the aisles with Turkish music blasting it was so comical.
Only con: staff could have participated more and more commentary on the surrounding area/history. All in all a break from sitting round the pool.

OMG we’re going on a pirate ship!!! - We booked the boat trip from Side where we were picked up and taken to the boat, which we presumed was going to be one of the day boats not a party boat.
We had a lovely day and we saw the dolphins at Dolphin Island which was a huge bonus. The trip was comfortable and we had good weather. Some of our party went swimming and later went ashore to sunbathe. We had a very lazy day watching the river and the sea and although we didn’t take part in the foam party lots of children and adults thoroughly enjoyed it. Lunch was well organised and reasonably tasty.
Do not take drinks on board as they were all confiscated on arrival. This was not mentioned when we booked and seemed no one else knew either as they had a chiller full of confiscated bottles.

Bit boring. - Very boring, paid another four euros on top to see waterfull, not what I would call spectacular, mainly shops with people wanting your money.
