Very nice boat trip - We didn't see any dolphins, but it was still a great boat trip. There were four swimming breaks and the view was breathtaking. Lunch was plentiful and delicious. At the end there was a foam party and a show by the "pirate". I can only recommend it.

Great Dotphin Island (boat name) trip - I was confused at the beginning as I thought that we will be attending to the Dolphin Island, but it's actually a boat name. A wee disappointment followed by pleasant experience 🙂 Short drive to the boat, beutifil views and dip in the river and in the sea,with a beutiful old town Side ruins seen from the sea side :-) Tasty lunch,great DJ on the bord,foam party,great weather relaxing time and blue sea! Really enjoyed this day! 👌 The most pleasant was communication with Mete the trip advisor who made this trip easy, clear and with no issues at all!

Good day trip - Everything as described. The time given is approximately the pick-up time (important to know) and not the departure time of the boat. You are contacted via WhatsApp. I thought that was good too! Otherwise it was really nice. Unfortunately we didn't see any dolphins, but we still had a whole day with music and swimming in the sea. Can be done well with children - ours were 12 and 6

A good day out - All organised very well. 3 swim stops. The first stop you can hire jetskis for about €40 which is half the price the watersports centres at the hotels are charging so if you are planning on doing this trip save the jetskiing until then. Wish we had known ahead of time. The ship staff were all really lovely and the food nice. Drinks are a reasonable price. Didn't see any dolphins but you can't control that part of the trip. Thank you for a lovely day.

Definitely a good tour if you watch the weather - We were picked up at the hotel at 8:15 a.m., but then unfortunately had to wait for the other guests on the ship for over 1.5 hours. That was really annoying and a very long time for children to wait. During this time, unfortunately, we were not communicated with at all or offered anything to drink. When the other guests gradually arrived, the trip started well. The first swim stop was very pleasant and OK in terms of length. However, some noticed on site that the waves were unnaturally high. Back on board, there was a fairly simple but very tasty lunch. Enough for everyone and quickly accessible from the buffet. When we then headed out of the river towards the sea, fate took its course. The waves were so high that after just 10 minutes the first people had to vomit or unfortunately even fell. Plates, bottles, chairs, everything flew across the deck, but we drove on and on. Even the crew had to struggle. After what felt like an eternity and tons of complaints, we finally turned around and canceled the tour. Of course, nobody can do anything about the weather, but I really wonder whether the wind strengths were such a surprise or whether the whole thing could have been cancelled beforehand for safety reasons. Towards the end, we went ahead with the foam party as planned and it was great fun. Still, it's a shame and annoying because our children were unfortunately extremely scared on the way.

Nothing was as advertised - Absolute false advertisement. We was supposed to go yesterday and waited outside the hotel for 45 minutes and then was told we would go today instead. We were collected at 8:35am today, then taken to a boat (in manavgat, not kumkoy as adverised) which we sat on in a junk yard type area of a river for an hour and a half before it finally set sail. We were at sea for less than an hour. We booked this believing we would sail past the ruins and temple of apollo, have 3 opportunities to swim in the sea, potentially see dolphins, sail around an island advertised as "dolphin island" and have a foam party. We didn't see the temple or ruins, there were no swimming opportunities at all, we did not see any dolphins, we didn't sail anywhere near an island and there was no foam party. Instead we had a short time at sea (less than an hour), stopped at a litter filled beach for an hour on the main land and then was told we could either go to a bazaar or pay extra to see a waterfall. I have requested a refund. Hektor Tourism haven't replied directly to me so I contacted Viator who have said they will request a refund but no guarantee. Total rip off.
