        Amazing value, great fun day
        Davy Jones boat tour Highlights Upgrade to All Inclusive ticket for £30 to include alcoholic drinks. The local branded drinks are available on bottom deck. Named brands you’d pay for on middle deck. Food included - chicken breast, pasta dish, salad and bread. Was simple but tasty and actual real chicken breast. You can upgrade to include chips when on the boat. Foam party - well it’s a small foam party but still fun and we all had a giggle. Option to purchase special cocktails and ice creams available. Great staff encouraging participation but no pressure to join in. Music played throughout to keep the party vibe alive. 2 swimming stops and a visit to Turunc where you can either shop at the market or head to the beach for swimming or snorkelling. Hints Make your own way there to arrive early to get a good sunbed spot on board Upgrade to All inclusive for alcohol Take your snorkelling stuff Cons None, it was a superb day out for everyone and amazing value for money

        Terrible, don’t waste your money!
        Drove at slow pace in a line of over 20 quads. Often stopping and waiting for broken down quads to be restarted to then carry on trundling along. Hosed off with water to make it look like we got wet. Drove up to off road section and did exactly the same trundling round the route. Back to base after 5 min break and staff tried to smear mud all over us for the benefit of the photographer. We drove round every water/foam downpour as by then we’d lose the will to live. Avoid this, unless you have children under 10! Also don’t be conned into buying the googles and bandana they definitely aren’t needed. Lockers cost 50 lira (non returnable)

        Started great and when it all went down hill
        I booked it because of the hot air balloon which was spectacular approx 40min in the air, by the time we arrived it wasn't really sunrise anymore. Make sure you have enough for tips as the hot air balloon operators they really try. From then onwards the trip fell apart. Breakfast was basically inexistant; I was hungry after 2 hours. The coach was fully packed so we could not sit together the whole time even going back. The guide could of solved the issue by moving people around but didn't bother to. The guide didn't talk at all during the whole 3hrs there and back; so I did not learn anything about the region. Transporting between minivan for the hot air balloon and the bigger coach was worthless- it would of made it better if we (the small English group) went in the minivan from Marmaris and not mixed with the larger Russian group). I am pretty sure that entrance fee was included when I was looking in late June but was told to pay cash on the coach which seemed dodgy not to mention 30euro per pp. So I didn't pay so spend 3.5 hours in the town which is struggling to survive. After talking to others who went inside, I made the right decision; the stroll around town was much more enjoyable and free. In other European countries such an entrance would cost half that. Thermic pool also massively overpriced- just book yourself an all day boat trip to Dalaman for 20euro which has it included and you get to see Turtles. You saw a lot the Unesco site from the hot air balloon plus you can see more from the sides anyway. General extrance was 30euros which I couldn't believe but since this is a group the guide for sure for the tickets for cheaper so should of passed that discount to the other guests. The lunch was ok in quality but finding hair in food is gross, and nothing was labelled so hard to tell for a vegetarian, I made the mistake with rice pudding it actually contains real chicken the guide confirmed but laughed it off. Its not a funny matter. Lastly you had upselling like the onyx and wine tasting which the guide admitted he gets commission from it. I experienced upselling before but on free trips not ones that cost a fortune. I am not totally pissed and thus not making a complaint as I did get the trip at a discount. I think the order the the trip is all wrong- this is how I see it should be: hot air balloon ride for sunset. So pick up early afternoon, have an hour in the town, 2 hours in the Unesco site for 15euros then do the hot air balloon ride and afterwards have a hot picnic dinner on the field (from one of the many local restaurants). Afterwards go back so you should be back for midnight; and no upselling!. But this would only be possible after it rains so winter; spring since the pools are filled up as that is one of the complaints that the views are not the same as photos since all the water dried up. Only then would I reconsider the trip but I did hear that a better hot air balloon ride experience can be found in Cappadocia.

        Waste of time
        Not worth it at all, waited for other people to turn up, drove around a dirt track really slow for 10 minutes and through a puddle while they hosed you down with water. Drove up the street stopped for 5 mins drove back to where they rubbed mud on you to make it look like you’d had fun. Would recommend to anyone under the age of 12

        Book this trip!!! You will not be disappointed!
        Book this trip!!!! You will not regret it!! Its amazing. Really good value for money. Darcie (one of the instructors) was great, explained everything clear and easy to understand. Encouraged everyone to get involved and was full of praise for everyone. It did not matter if you had never dived before (like my other half) he made everyone feel safe and confident! Photos and videos that the operators normally take are hugely expensive. NOT ON THIS TRIP! We got around 30 photos and two great videos for a really good price. I brought my own GoPro to take in with me but there was no point as their photos were so cheap! The trip was not too long either, like some trips that can drag on and on. No taking you to some random village to try and up sell you etc. All in all a really chilled vibe that lead to an amazing experience. We can’t thank the team enough!

        nice water in hot weather
        The river is short. The tour was also short-lived. I wish we could sail a little. The river is not that big. but it is nice to sit and watch where the river and the sea meet. Just seeing it once is enough. a different nature

        Slow and boring
        Slow and boring! We barely got above 5mph and the marshals were gesturing to us to slow down while they went whizzing past us on 2 wheels. Felt like we were stuck in slow moving traffic and we were at the front, dread to think what it was like at the back. They convince you than a bandanna and goggles are required at an extra cost, could have done without these and would have preferred to have known at the time of booking. Also the photos are way overpriced, for me and my Son it would have been £60 for the photos, the same price as the experience, without all the added extras. The overall duration is 3 hours, with only about 40 mins on the bike, the rest is travelling to and from and waiting around in the hope that we will buy something. Would not recommend.

        Romantic day out
        First day of our couple holiday and what a treat! Excellent value for money. Due to staying at the Marmaris Bay Resort (about a 15 min drive from the town), we selected a central hotel for pick up and caught the bus to our point for just under £1. Our guide and minibus were right on time. We were confident of this due to confirmation via WhatsApp the day prior. The boat was stunning with three tiers - the first for shade and the bar (soft drinks free), toilets below deck, and two tiers above with mats laid out for sun bathing. I recommend bringing your own towel as we did, as the plastic gets warm. After a short boat trip to Cleopatra Island, we had two hours to explore. €13 for entry and it was beyond worth it. We loved seeing the chickens and geese, the Roman ruins (especially the theatre), and we saw fish when snorkelling at the beach. It was a nice touch that the sun beds were free. A lunch was provided on return to the boat including tomato spaghetti, breaded chicken, a green salad and a basket of bread. Although simple, it was delicious and delivered in a timely fashion. We had three stops on the way back which provided opportunities to jump from the first tier and swim in the sea. Unfortunately, people ignored this and jumped from the second tier where we had set up camp which was a little off-putting, but no fault of the company. The music at times was often a little too loud, but varied. There were no delays on return to our stop and we were back on the bus to our hotel by 17:00. Highly recommend for a romantic adventure on your holiday. Thank you! We loved it!

        Beautiful Scenery!
        First time to Turkey for our honeymoon, and the signs were incredible! The transfers from pick up to destination were easily and comfortable, Kerim AKA Kevin to us brits on board was knowledgeable and a down to earth guy! Would recommend him again as a tour guide, the balloon ride and staff were also super friendly! Make sure you wear comfortable shoes

      Rhodes itself is beautiful and would highly recommend going however the boat was just a ferry to get to the otherside and you are not allowed to move round the boat or be outside which was disappointing. Both journeys getting to and from was delayed with the delay being another 2 hours on the way back as the boat somehow broke and had to wait for another boat. I understand these things happen but the staff made it very stressful and was very unapologetic if it had been explained earlier and they apologised we would of accepted but instead just left us to wait and wonder and not get off the boat. I would highly recommend going rhodes but i would not go with this company and is far too expensive for what you get.

      Im sure the trip is great however, just because you buy the tour does not mean they actually have ferry tickets. Unfortunately, we learned the hard way and found out at 11 PM that they did not have tickets for us the next day. Make sure you are checking your WhatsApp and email because they will contact you if they don’t have tickets. I wish they would have taken down the tour availability for the day the ferry tickets were not available so that we did not purchase and plan our whole day around the tour. They were hoping we could just go the next day but we could not. Its not fair to the customer. Luckily, we got a full refund.

      We immediately sent you a message via Viator.com after your reservation, asking you to send your passport information urgently - NO ANSWER. At 15:30 we sent a message again via WhatsApp - NO ANSWER There is a warning that passport details are absolutely required for this tour, you did not comply with this rule... You should have known that you cannot register for another country without your passport information.... When we were able to contact you at MIDNIGHT, unfortunately it was too late. The ferry company's reservation system cannot make a reservation without your passport information. Getting your money back quickly is not your luck, but a favor to you as a local service provider. The mistake is entirely yours.

      Really good trip to see Rhodes for the day. All the really nice markets and plenty of restaurants and cafes. Be prepared on the ferry to be a little sea sick as it can be a bit choppy. Other then that a really good day out

      When booking our trip to Turkey, we had no idea we would be able to visit Rhodes while we were there. We booked our excursion through Beach corner tours who explained everything clearly to us.
      We were picked up on time from our hotel in the morning and taken to the Port. Check in through customs was very simple.
      The ride on the Catamaran was brilliant, something for the bucket list.
      We had 6 hours to spend in Rhodes as we pleased.
      Departure was at 17:00 and our coach was waiting for us as we arrived back in Marmaris, delivering us back to our hotel.
      I would highly recommend taking this day trip if you are staying in Marmaris, its a great way to visit another country while you are holiday.

      Booked this trip with Thomas Cook, it was awfuly! there is no one to tell you what to do, where to go. Leaving Marmaris is messy, then the catamaran is more like a ferry. very uncomfortable seats, takes too long to arrive to Rhodes, where clearing immigration is not much better, takes over 30mins to leave the port. We decided to do the bus tour to see more of the highlights. We had to be back to the port for 4:30pm, the time in Rhodes is very limited and if you miss the ferry back not sure what will happen, the bus driver in Marmaris did not wait for anyone.

      We arrived early which wasa good job as its much nicer on the top deck. It only takes about an hour to sail across to Turkey. The veiws on the the way are worth the trip alone. When you get to Turkey be prepaired for a wait to get through customs. Two custom officers on the desk that are not interested in making the job quick at all. Great trip around the town. If you have time try out the resturants near the harbour geat sea food. Watch out in the bazar they will sell you anything that you dont want.

      Shops in abundance with a huge variety that caters for everyone. The old town is amazing, shopkeepers are very kind, although very 'determined'. Boat was very nice. I was able to get some great photos of the surrounding whilst on board. The freedom on departure is refreshing and the shuttle bus was very helpful. I would strongly recommend.

      Better than a guided tour as no gold shops or carpet factories

      We left early in the morning and we went quickly through a passport check, There´s little tax free shop before boarding. We were 4 adults and the boat trip lasted about 45 min. The ship was full. You can buy coffee and snacks from the ship.
      We went from Marmaris to Rhodes. There is no long to walk from the port of Rhodes to old town. There is nice alleys to walk and ruins to explore. Prices are expensive compared to Turkey.
      Also be careful there were African ladies who very forcefully try to put bracelets on your arm and then demand money from you. Just ignore them.
      Way back to Marmaris. In Rhodes the passport check queue was long and it was hot queuing in the sun. I recommend that you bring water along to drink. Slowly we moved forward.
      In Marmaris everything worked fast again.
      I recommend!
