Wonderful day - Well what can i say... brilliant day from start to finish, we paid app £25 each, please ignore all negative comments about being pestered to buy drinks/food, we were on board for app10hrs and were asked maybe 5/6 times if we wanted a drink, i call that service. First we stopped for a swim, then another sail had lovely lunch onboard, then transfered to another boat onto turtle beach, then to see massive loggerhead turtles, seen 3. Then onto mud bath followed by thermal dip, then 2hr sail home. You cannot ask for anymore, crew and captain onboard brilliant. Mags n dave cumbria

Great fun! - Didn't know what to expect. Was quite pleasantly surprised! Even though the cruise seemed to be more of a family affair, my friend and I really enjoyed experiencing it together! We wanted a day on the beautiful Mediterranean and we got that and much more at great value. Also appreciated the excellent service on board and the punctuality of the operators. Great experience, would totally do it again and recommend to family and friends.

Amazing experience with lots to see and do. - What can I say but from start to finish the cruise was so beautiful.The staff were friendly and scenery was perfect. It is a long day though so a nap may be needed on the way back!

Fantastic day out - I’ve done this trip a few times over the years and enjoyed it just as much in 2019 as I did in 2010. It’s a full day out stopping off at various places and taking in some really nice scenery. Turtle beach is lovely soft sand but is very hot with not much shade so wear a hat and use plenty of cream. The boat ride through the reeds and seeing the kings tombs carved in the mountains is amazing to see, then it’s a dip in the mud baths to freshen you’re skin up (make sure you have toilet paper at the mud baths because there never is any). The staff on the orca are really friendly and the girl on there (I can’t remember her name) is really nice and helpful as she’s half English & Turkish so she can bridge the communication if needed and she has a really cute little jack tussle. Definitely worth doing the trip but it is A FULL DAY OUT.

Another great trip from Marmaris - Boat was a bit overcrowded, although not the fault of the organisers just some very ignorant people. Free meal was basic but tasty and the additional paid food had plenty of variety and prices weren’t too high considering they had a captive audience. Activities were well worth their money with plenty of time at each stop. Would recommend as seriously beautiful scenery. Perfect for all ages. Staff were absolutely flawless.

Long, interesting and enjoyable. - Let me start by saying that it is a long day. You do get to see turtles, swimming in the bay and you do get to smother yourself in mud. You get to see some historic sites along the Dalyan river. It’s a full day, where everyone looked exhausted on the journey back to Marmaris. It is worth it.

Great day out - All i can say is this is a great day out and worth every penny. Swimming at turtle beach is a must the sea is so warm. Didn't see any turtles but enjoyable all the same. The cruise down the Dalyan river is very relaxing.
