I would do it again!!! - We loved the boat trip! The entertainment program was amusing! The views were beautiful! The food was simple but delicious and nourishing. The only 2 things I would like to improve are more international songs for the dance party and cheaper drinks! 😃

Excellent 👍🏻 - Very nice tour. 👍🏻 They didn’t let us get bored. Very much entertaining Transfer from hotel bit delayed But they arranged taxi in the last minute and we could reach to the starting point of the boat tour. That was great Only thing we need to pay extra for drinks and ice cream also photos with a bird It’s bit expensive.

Dolfins tour - The Dolfins tour went well😊, but there where no dolfins and Caretta caretta. That was only dissapointing. The party on the boat was verry good👍

Side blue lagoon boat teip - We turned up and were given the choice of 2 different boats as we were a family of 4 with two teenagers so we opted for the more adult tour and it was fantastic. The boat was clean and comfortable plenty of room for all on board to sit and move around. The crew were fantastic and the food was lovely. Drinks and snacks were reasonably priced, plenty of stops the beach stop was brilliant for those who don’t swim as you could get off the boat and enjoy one of the activities, sit on the beach or dip your feet in the clear warm sea. Would highly recommend this trip for both adults teens and families

Disconcerting at first, but a happy experience overall - We had a worrying start as the boat was overbooked and we were told to get in a car - there was a language barrier so I was very concerned. However, we were transported a little further down the river to Prestige Luxury boat which seemed much less crowded and seemed more comfortable. From then on it was excellent. The service and staff was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed swimming at the mouth of the Manavgat River, though I only opted for the sea-side of the beach as the river looked less appealing - though my daughters did both. The lunch was served efficiently and was tasty - healthy too. The highlight was anchoring in the Blue Lagoon near the Old Town and swimming off the boat there. There was also a foam party and a bit of a disco. The whole trip was a massive hit with my daughters, aged 12 and 14 and my husband and I enjoyed it too - I am glad we were moved to the other boat as I think I would have found the original boat too crowded and noisy.

A simple boat ride - No bathing break at sea. Award of correct drinks but a lot of insistence to consume. The Photo Awards is excessive and at the customer's head.

A bargain experience but paid with inflated bar prices! - We booked this boat trip using Trip Advisor and saved £400 from the same TUI advert. Our day started early with a convenient pick up from our hotel at Sun City, Side. After a short trip we boarded a seemingly older boat but well equipped. The staff were warming and friendly on arrival as we embarked on our first swim stop. A short 35-40 min trip along the river, we arrived at a beach which we could disembark and enjoy a swim in the river side or in the sea where you could hire jet skis or enjoy a snack or a drink on land. Next stop was at dolphin island after an hour sail where we were greeted with clam and crystal clear waters. The staff offered life jackets for the not so strong swimmer. Great for kids too! After a 25-30 min swim, we were treated to lunch which was extremely delicious and more than enough. Drinks and snacks were a little in the pricey side on board with a bottle of beer costing 5 euro. The photographer, while friendly, insisted in photos with his parrot which we took part in and enjoyed and in actual fact was nice for our 3 boys to hold and stroke a parrot. You could buy a standard print 6x9 photo for 4 euro or a nice frame for 15 euro or a photo plate for 10 euro. There is no price negotiation. Third swim stop was back at the beach for 20 mins which was refreshing after a couple of hours in the hot sun with extremely choppy waters. On paying the photographer, we was charged 30 euro instead of the agreed 25 euro. Apparently, there are card machine fees and exchange fees to consider when paying with Lira. The foam party was overcrowded so we missed out but it didn’t last long, maybe 25 mins. The same applies when settling our bar tab at the end of the trip. Our bill came to 78 euro but paying in Lira cost us £90! When questioned about the higher rate, again card machine fees was the reason. I’m glad we did the trip. It was an experience to say the least! We probably wouldn’t do another boat trip in Turkey as we were put off with the over priced menu and non negotiable prices and inflated end costs!

Poor experience and sick rules on board. - Mostly ok, but there were some problems... At the beginning they said that we have to leave our own water before we come to the deck because we had to buy everything from them. So we left 3 bottles of water for 8 hours, and it laid at full sun - big minus for that because it was about 38 degrees. I can understand, that you cannot bring alcohol or snacks but water!? Second problem was with camera man. He literally forced us to make us a photo and sell it to us... Sick.. I give it 3 stars because lunch was ok and other people from team had nice personalities. But I would not recommend.

Miss advertised - This was advertised as swimming going to dolphin island seeing nature. The trip was for kids only. It was nothing to do with dolphins or swimming. It was a pirate boat with kids games and disco. That is fine if this is what you want. But the advertisement was completely different.
