All good. - For the price I paid a decent experience. Crew was putting in the effort and we saw some dolphins (mostly fins though). Just book it online, hotels rip you off.

Fun and relaxation on a great cruise - It is exactly as described! Adventurous, relaxing and fun...
Great and friendly team, the food was delicious and the bath stops nice for swimming and to jump from the ship from 2m, 5m or 7m! Also interesting was the last stop on the river. There you could experience the temperature difference between sea and river on your own body. Foam party was especially great for the kids. It was never too loud or crowded for us.
A great experience at a small price. We'll be back!

Family of 6 - This was an amazing experience for the whole family from start to finish. Lunch was chicken,rice,salad and bread which was nice. The staff were friendly. We were picked up at 8 and dropped off at 5. Numerous swimming stops that seemed to be timed perfectly. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a boat trip. Opportunity to ride a camel or a jet ski. 5 star service!

Good trip, definitely worth the money. Be prepared for the parrot! - Can’t fault it! The taxi picked us up from the hotel as planned, on time. There was a huge range of hotels to pick from when booking and I was relieved to see our hotel included in the options. Ten minute transfer to the location of the boat. I was a bit worried at first but I shouldn’t have been as everything was great. As per the other comments there was a parrot to have your photo taken with (no choice) but the guy sensed my anxiety and quickly moved on. The photos when brought out later in a selection of plates and frames were very good. There was no pressure to purchase. Throughout the trip ice creams and cans of pop were offered at extra cost but we didn’t buy any and wasn’t pressured. Ice creams were 4€. Lunch was tasty although just salad, rice, chicken and bread. We were all satisfied. Coke, Fanta and Pepsi were available throughout the trip although given in small plastic cups as the other reviews said. They didn’t stop you asking for several at a time though.
Swimming stops were nice, each lasting up to an hour, and there was about an hour just sailing on the sea each way,
Music was a little loud at times as others have stated and if mixed origin (English, Dutch, Turkish). Our teenagers enjoyed the foam (not sure I’d call it a party but I suppose you make of it what it is!).
The trip lasted longer than we anticipated. We were picked up at 9:15am and dropped back at 5:45pm. A long day but all seven of us enjoyed it (four teenagers aged 13-19) and two adults.

Recommended for the price, for variety to the beach day - Value for money is very good. The drive to the bathing stops can be a bit tedious for some. However, a lot of effort will be made to provide distraction.

Medium - It was too long for nothing, on a morning when only one afternoon would have been more than enough. Otherwise the animation on the boat was cool. But overall it’s way too long for what it is.

boat trip on river and sea to Dolphin Island - Cruising and trip was nice regarding the river and the sea side. River is very cool and refreshing and really worthwhile to explore. Overall the trip was very commercial focussed and every little service was charged extra. The chance to see real dolphines is very small, in our impression. However, the boat tour was good and we enjoyed this part.

Solid trip , but without Dolphin Island . - The trip by pirate ship to the so-called “Dolphin Island” was well organized overall and offered a lot of entertainment. We started on time at 8:30 a.m. with a typically open, windowless bus – a bit getting used to, but a fun ride thanks to driver Viktor and music.
The boat tour took us first across the Manavgat River and then to the open sea. There were only two bathing stops, although there should have been three. Unfortunately, we didn’t really see the “Dolphin Island”, which was supposed to be the main point of the trip, nor stopped there – that was disappointing and took away the charm of it all.
Positive was the friendly crew, the tasty lunch as well as the foam party and mini disco, especially for children a fun.
Conclusion: If you are simply looking for a relaxing day on the water with some entertainment and bath breaks, you will get your money's worth here. However, anyone looking forward to the “Dolphin Island” could be disappointed. The Price quality ratio fits, but the description should be more realistic.

Boat trip Pirate see the dolphin - No dolphin in sight, you're being lied to. Just a pirate boat ride. To eat disgusting too salty. To have the photos on the USB stick we ask 85 euros. Great thief. I don't recommend this trip.

Find another boat. - Didn't get the pirate boat they're advertising for, but a tired little boat. Then we had unsatisfied children. Nor are allowed to jump off the boat as shown in the pictures. We were on the only boat where it was dangerous... Boring and too long distances between bathing areas. All passengers were bored and almost all slept on the return trip. The tour did not start according to the description, but far up in the Manavgat river. The bathroom at Manavgat looked like a dump, and the sunbeds were not worse than a euro... The only thing that was a little positive was the food, little food, but OK on the taste.
