What To Expect
Sun, sea, and swimming are just a few of the things that make this boat trip so relaxing. Sailing in a traditional Turkish gulet, you’ll enjoy an open bar, a chance to swim and snorkel and a tasty local lunch. All the ingredients for a great day on the waves. You’ll climb aboard a traditional gulet boat and set sail out of Side. Cruising Turkey’s Mediterranean coast, you’ll grab a drink from the bar and admire the views as you sit back, relax and top up your tan. Dropping anchor, you’ll stop off for a dip in the sea whilst back on board the crew prepares a delicious lunch. And after your fill of food, there’s plenty more time to unwind as we take a leisurely sail back

5.00This was a really nice day out on the boat with several swimming stops to enjoy. The food was really nice and made fresh on the boat. We had the chicken, bulgar wheat and there was a lovely green pepper type bean 🌶️ not spicy. Beautiful flavours. Drinks and snacks were reasonably priced and the price for the photos is what you'd expect from a tourist experience.
Staff didn’t speak...

1.00Staff didn’t speak English. Too loud and too many people on the ship. If you looking for a relaxing boat trip. I wouldn’t recommend this. Kids screaming and people all around you.
UNDERWHELMING, DISAPPOINTING AND SCAM.

2.00PROS: - Great kids working at the boat. Giving it all in the heat. They deserve much better than this boat and that horrible captain. CONS: - 1 HOUR LATE FOR PICK UP. OUTRAGEOUS. - HORRIBLE trip. This is not a dolphin cruise. Its just a pirate boat that make you seasick whole 8 hours. - HORRIBLE captain. Screaming in the microphone all the time. Only speaking German and Turkish. No interaction just screaming. - HORRIBLE food. Felt like jail food. Too little and bland. - Too many short swimming breaks. You feel stressed because the swimming breaks are too short. You dont really get to enjoy yourself. - The drop off was horrible. The driver could not drive and they switched drivers in the middle of the road. They dropped us off waaaaay off from our hotel. - TOO LOUD MUSIC FOR 8 HOURS. HORRIBLE. - THERE ARE NO DOLPHINS. DO NOT BOOK THIS TRIP. EVADE.
Pure scam!

1.00This is a pure scam. You don't get anything from what is advertised, instead you are trapped for 7 hours in a cheap and loud party boat. There is no island but a piece of detached rocky land where there is no much to see and do. Few fishes while snorkeling and that's it. The island is not appropriate for kids, it is very rocky and dangerous (my daughter got cut while trying to reach it). The bathing spots in open water are nothing special either. Basically you stay 7 hours in a slow boat with very loud music obliged to buy drinks because of the heat. And off course no sign of dolphins. Which wild animal will approach a loud boat? The cherry on the top : almost one hour of foam party (all finishing in the see! Not ecological at all) and a cheap animation/spectacle at the end. Do not get into the trap! Don't book this trip!
