Lovely boat trip - Great boat trip with 5 stops of different lengths for dips in the sea and visiting St Nicholas Island. Friendly crew, tasty lunch and plenty of space for relaxing on deck. 5 stops where you can swim but maybe save one for the last stop in the Blue Cave, I was too tired by the time we got there.

Great boat day!! - Great boat ride… lots of stops for swimming in amazing waters… lunch was very good… staff were friendly. All around a great day… the only issue and it’s not the fault of the boat, was that there was people at butterfly valley that did not allow us to walk and see any butterflies or waterfall. We had to give up and go back for another swim instead.

Fantastic - Excellent experience, very good
I just didn't think it was right that we weren't told the fact that we didn't do Camel Beach, which my family was waiting for.

Great day trip - We had a lovely day, loved the swimming stops. We couldn’t go to explore the St Nicholas island unfortunately as we only had flip flops and it’s very rocky going up to the top. The lunch was amazing and so was the service. The captain was cool too. The butterfly valley beach is out of this world but beware they won’t let you in to see the butterflies due to the danger of falling rocks. We just had drinks from the bar and chilled on the beach. Would recommend.

12 island boat trip not worth it - My partner and I went on the 12 island boat trip. Firstly its not 12 islands, its about 4 large rocks in the sea. Nothing on any of them really. We got off and snorkelled but there were not any fish to see. Nice sailing and lunch was okay if you like bony fish and the chicken which I had I'm not sure what part of the chicken it was but it was just bones really. Had a nice time just sailing but not the best boat trip I have been on in Turkey. No music and the prices on board for drinks were really expensive.

Pleasant day sailing - Very pleasant day. Well organised. Good food and crew very helpful. Barrack of the crew was particularly friendly. Only downside it is a largish vessel with a few too many people for our taste.

Good boat trip - A very pleasant boat trip, with 5 swim stops. There was lots of space on the upper deck to either sit or sunbathe and space on the lower deck to eat lunch/ sit also. Definitely didn’t feel cramped or overcrowded. It was well organised and it was easy to find the pickup point on the beach. Lunch was great, I’m a vegetarian so they offered me chips amongst the rice and salad (though the rice and salad was so nice I would’ve been happy with just that). My boyfriend had fish which he said was excellent. All round pretty good day which we enjoyed.

Beautiful experience - The trip to the 5 Islands was a beautiful experience, the views were stunning. The staff were friendly and helpful. It was a full day trip started by pick up from hotel at 8.45 and return at 6.30pm.
There were a few issues, we were disappointed that we couldn’t see butterflies in the valley (at Butterfly valley) as it was closed to visitors due to rocks falling and we should have been informed about this as that was one of the main highlights of the trip.
We were also not made aware that to view the church ruins at St Nicholas wasn’t free of charge and we needed to purchase tickets to visit so we never got to see it.
Finally the lunch was served cold, we had chicken and it was hard and difficult to cut. The extra chips we ordered were served cold too.

Average - The boat trip was good. The boat was good. The staff were pleasant and the lunch was reasonable. However we did not get directed to the waterfall as advertised and we did not see butterfly valley. We went there but it seemed to be a campsite rather than a buttefly sanctuary. The destinations were quite generic and every boat at the dock arrived within quick succession to each stop. However it was fun to swim from the boat, even if you were amongst many other people. The boat staff took photographs of us all and then tried to sell us the photos. Awkward to say “No” but we did. Most disappointing was to be charged for a transfer and then to be asked to make our own way there. We are still waiting to be refunded.

Taxi refused to take us to the boat because of traffic, missed the experience, not much support. - Crawling traffic prevented us from getting to the boat. Only offered to wait for us but the taxi refused to take us. Haven’t heard back since so I’m assuming we just wasted our money.
