Kusadasi Boat Trip

The boat is nice and spacious, the personell very helpfull and nice. The three stops in Natural park are great, water is crystal clean. There was enough time to swim and relax before going to the next stop. Lunch was OK, nothing special, but tasty. There are quite pricey drinks for purchase on board and akso wi-fi is 5 EUR. For that price it should work much better. Maybe reserving all-inclusive would be better option. The agency forgot to send me a pick-up time, but the driver was patient enough to settle it with peace and kindness.

Initially I booked this and they messaged me saying they will need to cancel due to weather conditions. However a day before we flew to Turkey they messaged me again saying the excursion is back and running for the day we wanted which was great, so we booked it asap. On the day they picked us up (they messaged me what time they will pick us up 2 days before) The journey from our hotel to the port was about 10-15, only because we were located so close to the port. It was a tight squeeze, my friends and I had to sit on the bench side of the van as opposed to an actual seat. Once we arrived we walked to the boat which was really pretty. They had an amazing upper deck with yellow mats covering the whole floor so we could sunbathe. The staff were really friendly initially but they don’t really interact with you or talk much unless they’re making an announcement which was a bit disappointing (I love meeting and talking to new people whilst on holiday, but that’s just me) They do play music on the boat, it’s quite US pop mainstream, would have preferred some Turkish or Arab music to really feel the culture, but no biggie. On the way to the first beach it took about 50 minutes, we went for the Easter holiday in April so when the boat started sailing it did get a bit cold with the wind, but the sun made up for it. The first beach was a pebble beach but the water was cold, so bare that in mind. We were there for about an hour or so, then we had lunch. For lunch they served pasta, bread, salad, and a fizzy drink. There was a bar where you could buy alcoholic drinks. There was a photographer there who took really nice photos of you and your guests, he’ll tell you how to pose and everything which was nice as I’m super awkward in photos haha. Then off to the second beach we managed to see some dolphins on the way there which was amazing. The second beach was only 5-10 minutes away, also pebbles. We were here for about 20 minutes. Then off to the 3rd beach which was sand, the water was still cold but most of the people were tired at this point so stayed on the boat. After that we started making our way back, on the way back they offered to sell some ice creams to the guests, this costs about €2 (£1 and a bit) Then when it came to the photos, they turned out super nice, I wish I could have bought all of them. My group and I had about 18 photos in total and they tried to charge me £80 for all hard and the digital copies. I managed to get it down to about £70 which I through was still too much. So I bought 2 photos for €7 each instead for the memories and my guests bought 4 more. Wasn’t expecting the tourist price to be that high. Anyway, we were dropped back to the port and there was a car waiting for us to take us back to the hotel, which again was only 10 minutes All in all, highly recommend if you want a tan and love beaches. Note: make sure you bring your own towel and drinks (if you get thirsty often) Only think I’d recommend this to be better if we got to know the staff a bit more, change of music as I am in Turkey, I wanna feel like it haha, and the tourist prices was a bit crazy. A whole lot of fun otherwise! Thank you Bergin Tours, until next time :)

Everything was great! Punctual, neat, nice music! The places visited were really beautiful and the water temperatures in the beginning of october were Perfect for swimming. You can jump from the boat and There is plenty of room on the upper Board for sunbathing.

Having done this trip a couple of times with other providers, it’s good value for money but being English they didn’t really cater for us, very little music in English, went to one very rocky beach and two other stops away from the shore so if you have kids i would recommend they bring a rubber ring or some kind of float, lunch was good drinks and snack priced ok

They canceled the tour, which left us one day without doing the activities we had proposed. It was a disorder.

Went on big Babba brillant trip brillant staff food and entertainment great even belly dancers doing it again in Sept

It was a good experience. We enjoyed a lot at the sea of National Park.The crew were very friendly. The boat was very comfortable.

We went on a rainy, cool day and right at the beginning of the season so not many people but it was great value for money.
