According to the schedule, this tour begins during the morning time. An air conditioned and comfortable car will pick you up from you hotel and start driving you towards the first stop of the schedule.
At Gokova bay, a short breakfast stop will take place. The mesmerizing scenery will offer you the necessary relaxation and tranquillity so that you can enjoy your day tour.
After the breakfast, the bus will transfer you to the port from where the boat departs. With a spacious river boat, you will proceed with an incredible exploration of Dalyan. This river is an amazing natural wonder full of lush vegetation and colourful flora. An interesting highlight is that on the sides, you can observe ancient tombs that are carved into rocks. A professional tour guide will offer you interesting insights about these tombs and the importance of this ancient city.
Turtle beach is your next stop, which is one of the most photographed and known bays of the country. What makes this bay special is that, on the one side people can swim into the river water, while on the other side they can swim into the waters of the Aegean Sea. You will have some free time there to spend as you wish. Feel free to swim into both sides, river and sea, or relax on the sandy terrain.

I’m afraid I can’t recommend this trip due to the long hours on the coach and boat. 6 hours on the coach in total and 2 on the boat. For the time you have at the mud baths and turtle beach it just doesn’t justify it. The mud baths were also disappointing. Rather than a natural area it was man made with dirty cold water to walk through. Slimey mud to rub on you then quickly shower before moving on. Turtle beach was lovely but so was staying on our hotel beach. Lunch wasn’t too good. We left the hotel at 0630 and got back about 1930. Felt like we’d wasted a day to be honest.

Very nice beach and river but did not see any turtles. Lunch location was not the best - would prefer local restaurant even at additonal cost. The collection of people was not well organized therefore spent time waiting for missing passengers that were not collected from their hotels. During holiday time and experience is of essence, so I believe things could be organized better. Good guide though...
Thank you for your review. We hope to see you again soon.
The bedding a disaster, the cramped bathroom you have the toilet bowl behind you the orca takes your shower!!to adjust the temperature of the you have to juggle with the mixer of the bathroom of the basin! Not to be recommended to people of strong builds fortunately I am slender!!

Great day out, views were great. The mud baths were fun and the wife enjoyed seeing the turtles all in all fun day out.Also easy to book through Excursion Mania.

No turtle at the time of our trip, but a crossing of the lake on a local boat, unforgettable. To arrive on a splendid beach with magnificent landscapes. Seen on the tombs of the beautiful lake. To do absolutely.
Merci pour votre avis. Nous espérons te revoir bientôt.
Tour with amazing views a complete history of Türkiye 🇹🇷 back in time best choice tour recommended and good value for money .Wonderful country Thanks Metin for you great Work 🇹🇷
Thank you for your review. We hope to see you again soon.
First, the transfer was 30 minutes late. This happens ! When we got to the coach, we were told my tall 6 year old must sit on a lap of us for a 6 hour round trip with no belt as children/infants don't get seats !!! This is illegal and invalidated, our insurance uncomfortable and hot . Then, our 13 year old daughter with disabilities was made to sit next to a stranger(male) far away a safe guarding issue. Also distressing. We raised concerns and were told free to leave, or it is what it is. Then, 20 mins in dropped off in the middle of town in Turkey to try and get home ourselves. We finally got home paying £50.00 gbp. We are now asking for a refund. The tour operator PAYLESS TURIZM is not replying and said not there problem . I never write a review bad, but after this and no refund and the fact infants up to six have no belts or seats as standard, a warning needs to be said AVOID !!!!!!!!! THIS TRAVEL AGENT
It is very clearly stated on the web page of the tour that infants must sit on laps. Please read the tour details before booking. This review is not fair for something that is written on the website.
Everyone was seamless and on time and pleasant. we did everything that was advertised and were able to see turtles in the river at dalyan. Couldnt have asked for a better day
Thank you for your review. We hope to see you again soon.
