Don’t recommend

Firstly there is no fish or chicken. There was ONLY chicken. On the beach we were only 1 hour. Than 3 hours on market. On the ship from 9.30 to 12.40 and after that finished the rest we go by bus. But the worst that guide room from is 5 euro per person for entrance to waterfall but it cost only 1,20!!! That is unacceptable

It was great.

The ship is very nice, and the staff is superb. The market afterwards is for people who want to buy brand knock-offs for little money.

Let it go better

We had booked the ride on the manavgat and were really looking forward to it. We got the first scare when we were picked up at the hotel. A completely scrappy bus stopped and the driver first sprayed deodorant in the interior to paper over the pathetic stench that this surely 50-year-old vehicle was emitting. After the first hesitation we got on board and after an odyssey through several villages and hotels we arrived expecting again at the river and could get on the ship. Although we had already paid dolles we were charged another 10 euros for the entrance to the waterfall and the bazaar. Since it was very cold on board due to the icy wind, we decided to order a coffee. Soft drinks should be included according to the description but we were charged 3 euros per coffee. We do not write anything about the hygienic conditions on board. Better get their business done before they enter this completely dirty ship. So the ride started and we were taken to the mouth of the river where we disembarked and had to wait on the beach. On this beach stood provisionally nailed together baroque in which cooking was done. When the icy wind pushed open a door we saw a man preparing chicken on a dirty rusty pan. This food was then brought on board and there were actually fellow travellers who enjoyed it with a piece of flatbread and dazzling salad. Then photos were taken of the guests and those who wanted could purchase them afterwards. In the further course, kitschy picture frames were also offered neatly. When we finally reached the dock, another young man with a cash box walked through the rows and asked for tips for the crew. Then we took the scrap bus to the waterfall where no admission was charged that day and after a 5 minute visit back to the bus. Then we were taken to the bazaar and a meeting point and time for the drive home were agreed. However, we did not use this anymore and took a dolmus to the hotel with a view to our own safety. Conclusion If you like to put yourself in danger and get ripped off, you can spend nice hours here. You never learn, and we had our lesson. Thanks for nothing and not guaranteed again.

Okay, but doesn't have to be again

Pick up on time, ship was okay. Unfortunately, the tour guide spoke very quickly, and man had to say no at least 3 times because of pictures. A little pushy. Those who want to pay by card pay 10% extra and a tea costs 3 euros. Only soft drinks in small plastic cups are available for free. The food was fine, unfortunately no fish as in the description. Overall everything is fine, we expected a little more. Other staff all great, and everything according to plan.

no unlimited alcohol-free drinks as promised.

Open drinks of inferior quality, still water, no coffee although unfounded soft drinks were promised. Bottled drinks , cans and coffee had to be paid for.

Disappointed

This trip was underwhelming compared to other pirate ship experiences. The boat sailed briefly on a river and at sea before stopping at a small beach, where sunbeds cost extra. We also had to pay more to see a waterfall and only stayed 20 minutes. The tour ended with an hour at a local bazaar. Not recommended.

A Real Pirate Robbery

The boat trip was supposed to be 09:00 till 17:00, it actually started off at 09:45 and we finished at 13:15 where they put us on buses either for the bazar OR the waterfalls. NOT both as advertised. There was a fight broke out on the 1 st deck between the photography team and some customers. The Non alcoholic slushy for kids was an extra at €4 and a small beer was €5 too expensive when you can buy a big beer in Türkiye for around €3 to €5 too expensive All in all not a good experience. Also the transfer bus was a wreck with uncovered ratchet mechanism on the auto sliding door, which could trap fingers in easily. No A/C which made for an uncomfortable transfer.

Great all around

It was a great trip we was picked up on time and didn’t take long to get to the boat, then the boat was great all inclusive soft drinks you can’t go wrong with that, the boat was calm the staff wasn’t pushy like we have had in the past, they just let you get on with what you wanted to do, then they take you to the markets which lets you kill two birds with one stone if that makes sense hahah, Eric was helpful he made sure the trip went smooth and then also asked how it went after we had been which is nice to know our not just another number thanks Eric. Will book again next time I’m here
