Great day! - Fantastic trip!! The mud baths, tombs, river, beach, blue crab were all fantastic. But the two guides were what made the day. Particularly Aslan, who went above and beyond from the moment we met him! A must do!

Good but long - The actual experience was lovely- the mud baths were fun, the lunch was OK and the boat and scenery were stunning. The transfer time from Bodrum was nearly 4 hours though!!! We were told it would be around 90 mins. My children get very travel sick and 8 hrs of travelling in 1 day is too much in 33° heat. We also felt that, the unexpected extra stop offs for crab "to attract the turtles" (despite only receiving the crab after we'd left turtle beach where we saw no turtles) and the stop off at a wine cellar (not child friendly after a long day) were simply ways to get us to spend more money. Having said all that, the trip was very special and I would recommend to anyone staying nearer to Dalyan.
