Great Dalyan River Tour
What a great day !
We were an adult family of 6 from uk/ canada and we were on a boat with all turkish people who were fantastically friendy , the captain was warm hearted , friendly and asked us if we wanted english music for the tour …. We said we like turkish music and at the end of the tour we were all dancing together … it was hilarious and fun . Turtle beach was amazing , we saw turtles swimming , the river is beautiful and clean , the mud baths were such fun . The food at the restaurant for lunch was also good . Everyone should do this tour honestly if you are in dalyan ….. it was relaxed and an amazing day .

Relaxed river cruise, nice captain. Dropped us back at hotel. Let us swim off the boat in the beautiful lake. Really recommend this trip. Stunning scenery. Lunch at The Other Side by the river was also delicious. Good value for money. Teenaged girls loved it.

Don’t book with them!
Don’t book with them! Was one cheating company! First pick up was not at 9.00 but pickup was at 10.10. Then boattour started at 11.00. No local quide on board which should have been included! Kauno only from the boat seen and no option at visiting it. At the end no transfer was arranged and we had to walk to our own hotel although this was also included in the price! At the end we were aggressively waved to get off the boat although we were busy getting our stuff together! The guy which we showed our tickets couldn’t care less for bringing us to the hotel! He told us we had to book direct with him and not via mamaris??? I booked tickets from Dalyan!!! They love to have your money with cheating as return!

Great way to spend the day
Very nice day out. Enjoyed all activities and the meal was spot on, especially the mud baths.
Careful if you stop to swim in the lake, quite strong currents!

Peaceful, fun and Memorable Tour!
Breathtaking views and the most supportive and welcoming tour guide and captain.
We did see massive turtles and some cute small ones but everytime they’d pop up I didn’t have my phone to take a picture. I tried the blue crab, it’s not served hot so bare that in mind nonetheless it was delicious. I enjoyed the beach that I forgot to take pictures it’s so clean and there’s so many sun beds it wasn’t crowded either I managed to get a section all by myself! The views, ambience and friendly group were my favourite. Lunch was delicious at the Other Side restaurant, chicken was very well seasoned, great portions and variety. My tour guide was Dennis maybe spelt Deniz, he was great, ask for him if you decide to book!
Oh and we did go to the mud baths but I decided not to go in, the other people on the tour enjoyed it though and we stopped off for a dive in the lake it was so peaceful. Would definitely use this tour provider again!

Peaceful and recharging open air sanctuary
Dalyan, a lesser-known gem along Turkey's southwest coast, offers a wealth of sights and activities. It's also less crowded and more affordable, making it an ideal destination.

Great day boating, nice if you see some of the surroundings
We left at 10.30 from the port in Dalyan. Our first stop was the turtle beach, where we stayed for an hour. No turtle seen by the way, but the weather was brilliant and the beach was beautiful. Then we had lunch in Dalyan and then on to the mud baths. Don't imagine too much of this, I haven't been in it myself because it didn't smell so good... Anyway, we had a great time with a day on the boat, highly recommended if you want to see some of the river / surroundings. Fine crew, nothing to complain about.

Good value an enjoyable outing
We really enjoyed our trip. The crew were excellent and so helpful . The lunch was fresh and tasty in a lovely setting. Our only problem was with the itinerary . It isn't the same as advertised. We only got 1 hr at Turtle beach which wasn't enough time to have a swim and we didn't get to go to the Kaunos ancient city at all. If you're not going to do the mud baths I'd recommend that you just get off again at Daylan. All in all an enjoyable outing and good value.
