Dalyan Turtle Beach Day Trip - INCREDIBLE !! - 100% recommend this day trip! It was honestly the best trip I’ve been on and an absolute bargain at £25 each (we heard others paid £18-20 too). We also heard that tour operators such as TUI were trying to sell at £70pp so definitely go local!
It’s a full day 8-8 with hotel transfers. We used Barkas Boats and the boat was amazing. Had the option of upgrading to VIP which we’d also recommend as was only 300tl each and you get access to the top two decks and was much quieter with incredible views. Plus table (sunbed) service!
You spend a couple of hours each way on this boat which is lovely and relaxing. Lunch is included which is a breaded chicken schnitzel type thing, tomato pasta and salad. I’m vegan so asked for pasta and salad only and they doubled up the pasta portion! Drinks were reasonably priced and we took our own snacks too, which wasn’t an issue.
Turtle food is available at 400tl and well worth buying as the turtles go wild for it! We saw probably 10 in the time we were there and it was just incredible - even seeing one would’ve made our day.
Mud bath I’m sure isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but we enjoyed the novelty and your skin does feel amazing afterwards!

A must tour - it's totally worth it - The tour was well organised and very friendly guides. From start to finish we were catered too. Turtle beach was just amazing, seeing the turtles in their natural habitat. Would thoroughly recommend and even considering going again.

Dalyan cruise, a fantastic family experience - Thanks to John at Transail Travel Agency for organising this trip from the turqoise hotel, oludeniz. Dennis, our guide, was fantastic. He was friendly and very informative. We were picked up from the hotel and taken to meet a small 30 seat boat. After a short 20 min cruise we got to the mud bath where cleopatra reported to have bathed. We spent an hour there and then cruised back to the start point for lunch of either chicken, fish or omelette. The food was included in the price but drinks were extra. After lunch we travelled to the tomb of kings, where we stopped for photos.
We then continued on the cruise to see the loggerhead turtles on the Dalyan lake and spent some time at the beach.
The excursion lasted from 8am until around 6pm.
It was a fantastic day enjoyed by everyone, except my youngest daughter who said the mud was a little fragrant....

A really lovely day - We really enjoyed our trip. The veiws were beautiful. We stopped off at the mud baths and loved swimming in the lakes and the pools. Also saw the tombs and the donkeys on the island. Our favourite part was the beach stop off. It's a beautiful beach and we managed to see some turtles at the pier which was amazing!
Veronika was a brilliant tour guide; she was very helpful, knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humour. We also really liked the couple in charge of the boat (we didn't catch their names - sorry!). Drinks were a good price, and the lunch was lovely.
It's a long day, but it's worth it. I would definitely recommend 😊

Excellent experience - From pick up directly outside the hotel, to the travel accommodation, to the drivers, tour guide, and captain of the boat, to the overall experience, this was a truly great trip and well worth it!

Amazing for the price! - It was a 1 hour coach journey to the lake. We then all split up into 3 boats across the lake to the mud baths and thermal pools. Then up the river, where the scenery was stunning and we were served lunch. Chicken, pasta, salad and bread. There’s a little bar on board. The staff were amazing. We went along the river to turtle beach where we saw beautiful giant loggerhead turtles on the jetty. Highly recommend!
