Great day out, a MUST DO
Although takes a while to get to the Mud baths was a great experience. Loved the boat trip.
Dimitri our guide was hilarious. Boat crew were great too. Enough comfort breaks and good food.
Brilliant day out and worth the money

Excellent full day
Really full day, which was good value. Sonny our English Guide was personable and very good.
Unfortunately there was a mix up when picking up outside our hotel and although we were there, another group took our place (in error) on the bus, and the bus left before we could speak to the guide.
After realising their mistake a taxi arrived (obviously paid for by the tour company) to catch up to the bus. All was well in the end. Mistakes happen and the company sorted it out well.

Mud baths and turtle 🐢 beach
We would highly recommend this trip. Weather wasn't great so they changed the schedule around. Always kept informed. Sonny, our guide, kept us entertained throughout the whole day. Very informative as well.

The mud baths were much hotter than expected but great fun. We saw many turtles … though not guaranteed. Have great photos and videos. It was a long day but well

Take cash but great trip
Longer day than expected. Take some cash for beach charge, photos and extra drinks. Otherwise fun day and probably needed more sun cream on as we
Didn’t realise we were getting sun on the boat too. Worth the money

I highly recommend them,...
I highly recommend them, all crew is attentive, they count the group all the time so pretty responsible, my group were with 27 and they deal with logistics pretty well.
The food at the restaurant could be offer more Turkish options of food would be a nice experience.
But I liked everything at the experience, and definitely would do again

Fantastic trip
Great value and very enjoyable trip. About 2 hours each way by coach. Picked up and dropped off at hotel.
You start with the mud baths which is great fun and then have a lunch of meatballs with rice. You then take a boat to turtle beach which passed by the Dalyan tombs. Everyone on the trip saw turtles. The beach is great for a swim, perfect sand and gently coving.
Highly recommend.

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.
