Great way to explore Oludeniz from the water! - Great trip! We were on a smaller boat which seemed to be a much more relaxing option than the pirate ships, and it had plenty of cushioned loungers on the top deck (both sun/shade options). There were around 40 people total but it didn’t feel particularly cramped. The trip took us to islands around Oludeniz for swimming, St. Nicholas Island/ruins (bring good walking shoes!), and finally butterfly valley (although only saw one butterfly-but a really neat cove only really reachable by boat). Provides lunch, alcohol (full bar) is extra and can be purchased on board. Agree with prior comments about being subjected to lots of cigarette smoke and paying extra for french fries at lunch + entrance to butterfly valley, but overall was a great day for a reasonable price!

A vintage guide for a vintage experience - The whole day was a delight made more enjoyable by the irrepressible enthusiasm of our guide Daniella - such knowledge and enthusiasm should be bottled like the great growths we tasted. Great picnic lunch and a small friendly group added to the enjoyment. Something that any visitor to Bordeaux must do as it is the essence of the wine culture of the region.

Go to Oludeniz - We stayed in Oludeniz, busy enough nightlife was great, the locals can’t do enough for you. Lots of hidden gems so research before you go. I missed it but the cable car ride to the top of the mountain looked awesome. If you book in one of the shops in town you can paraglide at the world’s best centres for around £50
Food and drinks where a little cheaper than UK
Overall I would definitely visit again

Beautiful boat tour around Ölüdeniz - Perfect tour, beautiful places and nice crew.
You can swim and enjoy the wonderful sceneries.
I found it pretty good for the price.
Far from the loud music and awful atmosphere. It’s cosy, chill with a lot of time to enjoy the different places.

highly recommended - amazing experience, staff was very friendly, the views were spectacular and we went to more islands than written in the description so that was great as well, they also sell snacks on board, food was good, it’s clean and the pickup service was very helpful and overall I highly recommend it.

Great boat trip - Picked up from our hotel on time which was one of the furthest from Fethiye. Arrived by bus to Ölüdeniz where the boat departed from. Plenty of room on board to sit on the top deck or sunbathe, below bench seating and tables. Food, drinks, alcohol and ice cream available plus chicken or fish served with your dinner (included) with our purchase. Great coves, swimming and adventure, it was a long day but worth it. Many thanks to the crew 🤩

Family of 7 - we all loved this trip. Highly Recommended - A memorable day trip. Very organised great staff and amazing scenery we felt very safe and taken care off. Yes we had to pay for chips but 30 lira was a worth while price for great home made chips all drinks and ice creams were a fair price too. I wish we could go again!! (People seem to leave bad reviews because of charging extra for chips but this was an optional extra on top of the cous cous and bread that was included.
A fab day out.

Smaller boat experience would be better - The islands are beautiful and very much worth visiting, although if you can afford it, I would recommend a smaller boat.
This particular boat had a lot of people smoking on it, which was very unpleasant. And because you arrive at every stop in a miniature hoard, the walks on the islands are then full of people; it makes it congested and not great for photographs!
There was very little communication to those who spoke English. Just an announcement about how long the stop would be, with no context about what you might see. The first stop in particular was very underwhelming - a small cove, absolutely packed with other larger boats, and you could swim amongst all the boats, pretty much amongst their anchor lines - it was that congested.
That being said, it was reasonably priced. Hiking on the islands are worth it (wear trainers!). It is a full day and the lunch was decent.
