Itinerary
The Marmaris Dalyan Beach Boat Trip kicks off at 8:30 AM when one of our drivers picks you up and takes you to the Marmaris harbor. There, you’ll step aboard our impressive three-story boat, complete with modern facilities such as showers, restrooms, sun loungers, and two delightful bars. This luxurious vessel promises a serene and enjoyable journey across the Mediterranean.
Our journey’s first swimming break will be at the serene and stunning Kizilkum Bay, where you’ll have 40 minutes to relish a swim in the emerald-green waters and bask in the sun on the golden sandy beach.
Upon our arrival in Dalyan, we’ll enjoy a delicious lunch on board before beginning our exploration of this remarkable destination.
Our visit begins at the charming and unique Turtle Beach, where you’ll have around 2 hours to swim and explore this protected area. This exceptional beach is renowned for being a nesting site for the endangered Loggerhead Turtles and is celebrated as one of the most stunning beaches along the European coastline.
After our time at Turtle Beach, we will board charming, small canal boats and navigate the winding waters of this enchanting canal. During the ride, you’ll have the option to purchase a drink on board.
Dalyan is also well-known for its ancient Lycian rock tombs, which date back to 400 BC. We’ll pause for a photo break at this historic site, giving you the opportunity to capture stunning pictures while our English-speaking guides share fascinating stories and historical details about the tombs and their legends.
Next, we’ll visit the famous Dalyan mud baths, where you can have fun splashing around and experiencing the high-quality mud known for its rejuvenating effects on the skin. Once you've enjoyed the mud bath, you can rinse off in the showers and unwind with some refreshments at the quaint nearby café.
When we sail back to the Marmaris harbor, our driver will be ready to pick you up and take you back to your hotel. Hotel transfers, both to and from the harbor, are included in the price.

It’s a good day, with lots of things included, but a very long day lots of time in boats on the water

Our tour program is designed to offer guests the opportunity to discover the most beautiful locations in the region and enjoy a variety of experiences. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and we hope to welcome you again on one of our tours.
Easy to book through Trip Advisor, excellent communication from the tour operator. The boat was spacious, a little dated, but clean and felt safe. The lunch was far better than my very low expectation. It was chicken, rice and salad for everyone, but I'm vegetarian, so they made some chips and found some feta, with no issues at all, they were very good about it. The transfer to the river boats was very slick and well organised. The turtles were great to see. The spa and thermal springs were great fun too, if a little pungent (but nothing can be done about the natural smell!!) A long day, but a really fun one

Good value for money and thoroughly enjoyed however it lasted too long and the food was not great. Would have been nice to have a soft drink included too.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the experience overall and found it to be good value for money.
The tour overall was worth taking. Both the ship & river crew were very friendly. The ship was good with inside & outside space. But a couple of issues spoiled the trip Boarding and leaving river boats should be safer, passengers did not feel safe jumping down from the narrow prow of a moving boat onto the jetty and climbing up again since the sea was choppy. The tour guide did assist some folk, but a crew member should be there to ensure passenger safety when moving up/down from a moving deck to a timber walkway. The BBQ lunch was cheap minced deep fried chicken burger, rice and green leaf. Not BBQ meat with mixed salad as advertised on the website.It was tasty but not as advertised. The tour guide was excellent and had to stand-in for crew safety duties.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you appreciated the team and found the tour worthwhile overall.
Lovely relaxing day out, very long day though so go prepared. Saw turtles and fed them, mud bath very smelly but it’s a good experience. Good all round day trip

This is a full day tour where you are not hassled into buying anything. The initial swim was nice and Turtle Bay was glorious especially as November is quiet. The tombs were nice to see and the mud baths an experience. The tour guide ‘dear guest’ was very pleasant and nothing was too much trouble. We would definitely recommend as it was our favourite tour of the holiday. Yeah

Very nice trip but a few points that let it down for us were. Not long enough at Turtle Beach to swim, expensive drinks on boat and too crowded where you see Turtles, it should be done by foot on Jetti not in boats. Music also to loud on small boats. However you do see lots so depends what is important to you.
Thanks for sharing your feedback about the trip. I understand your points—especially about not having enough time at Turtle Beach and the crowds where you see the turtles. The loud music and expensive drinks on the boat can definitely take away from the experience, too.I appreciate your honesty and it helps to know what to expect. Even though there were some downsides, it sounds like you still got to see quite a lot, which is good to hear.Thanks again for the details. It really helps in planning for next time.
Lovely boat trip out , great crew and facilities on board. Transferred to tugs to see the turtle , mud baths and tombs was great especially our Captain Lady we had.

A fantastic trip on 2 different boat's. Everything is so well organised from pick transfer, getting to the boat, the boat trip, going to Turtle beach and then seeing the amazing turtles (there were loads of them), you can buy crabs to feed them with. Then took a ride down the waterways to see the tombs, which are really interesting. Lunch was lovely on the boat (included in the price). Drinks are very reasonably priced and the staff are all really friendly and informative. I would definitely recommend this trip! Thanks for a wonderful day.
