Itinerary
Marmaris Dalyan Koycegiz Lake Tour starts with a free pick-up from your hotel at approximately 08.30 in the morning.
The transfer from Marmaris to Koycegiz Lake will be 45 minutes.
Upon our arrvial to the lake, we transfer all our guests to the river boats and all they we will explore the area by the help of these boats. The crossing of this captivating lake is an outstanding experience all by itself. Koycegiz lake gathers its power from several rivers and mountain streams, and then it narrows at one point and flows into the Dalyan river.
The thermal mud baths at Sultaniye add more fun to this trip. They may smell bad because of the sulfur dissolved in the water, but playing and bathing in these mud baths is good for your health. It’s said that mud-bathing here makes you look 10 years younger! After a joyful mud bath, you can use the showers to clean yourself and have some refreshments at the cafeteria nearby. Lunch will be served on our boat after the mud baths.
We will sail from Sultaniye Mud Baths to the Turtle beach
When we arrive at the Turtle Beach where we stop for about 90 minutes. Here you can swim, and explore the area. This is a protected beach as it is one of the last known breeding grounds for the endangered species of Loggerhead Turtles. Some areas on the beach are closed for human entry. The Turtle Beach is regarded as one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe. If they are lucky enough, you might see the turtles swim or pass by.
At the end of the day we will sail all the way back and arrive to Koycegiz, where we will meet with our bus.
At the end of the tour, we reach back to Koycegiz and drive to Marmaris. We arrange to transfer our guests back to their hotels by our free hotel transfer service. This is a long day of the journey through sea, lake and land among some of the untouched areas in the region. Though we take utmost care to complete the tour within the pre-determined time frame, there may be some delays due to unfavorable weather and the sea conditions.

Wonderful tour, exactly as advertised, ran very smoothly Nice lunch Boat trip on lake was beautiful and not over crowded All staff were helpful and nice
Bus—dirty, broken seats & air vents. English guide—hard to understand, bad body odor. Boat—uncomfortable, bad food.
A brilliant trip, seeing the turtles was the highlight. Fantastic value for money - would highly recommend! Great river cruise with a very good tour guide.
The pick up was seamless, the trip was amazing and all the staff and guides where awesome, I really recommend this trip . I would also recommend to get the fish meal it was delicious
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
Decided to go with this as it was a smaller boat operating on Sunday. We got picked up around 8:30am and made some short stops in Marmaris to collect other passengers on a small coach with around 30 people total. We rode about 45 mins to the boat, with our tour guide telling us about the day in detail, this was appreciated. The boat seemed to be a little family owned business with a man and wife. It was one floor with picnic style seating covered by a shelter and a little bit of outdoor space at the front and back of the boat. It had a small toilet. We sailed to the mud baths and thermal pools. Very grateful it wasn’t very busy. It’s smelly due to the sulphur but makes your skin feel so soft. The tour guide looked after our belongings for us. The trip included lunch which was pasta, chicken, salad and bread. Drinks, snacks and other food like crab, fish and ice cream are all extra but really reasonably priced. I recommend the fish - sea bream (you get this after stopped of at turtle beach). Really nice swim spot! On the trip we only saw 1 large turtle and a few little ones in the reeds, but still really lovely. Couldn’t fault the lovely couple on the boat who played music quietly, were very accommodating and hospitable. The captain let our 4 year old steer the boat a while, too. They sell printed photos for 250TL too. Very worth the money. An excellent day! We booked quite last minute and there was a little bit of miscommunication before the trip but all worked out in the end!
Thank you for sharing such a detailed and lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear you had an excellent day and enjoyed the friendly, family-run atmosphere on board. It’s great that your little one got to steer the boat—that must have been so special! We appreciate your understanding regarding the pre-trip miscommunication and are glad everything worked out. Thanks again for recommending the tour, and we hope to welcome you back soon for another memorable experience!

Great full day out - comfortable coach ride, pleasant people on the boat and a delight to see the lake, countryside and turtle bay. We took up the offer of fresh fish and crab on board - delicious ! Our boat broke down but we transferred to share another with a minimum of fuss for last part of the river trip and it was fixed by the time we got back for the ride back to the coach. The stop off at the mud baths, thermal baths and fishy pedicure was a lot of fun. Well organised and guided by Yolanda. Thoroughly fun day out.
