Itinerary
- 1Get a look at the people and small villages that make up Turkey's heartland with a drive through the countryside around Marmaris. Discover the locals' genuine hospitality as you visit the homes, mosques, schools, and eateries that sustain daily life away from the city. Your idlylic day starts with a pickup from your hotel and a ride to nearby Kizkumu, where you can step out into the water for a swim. Next, head to Bayir, where you can see the water mill and admire the scenery at a local waterfall. In the village of Turgut, pay a visit to the mosque and get to know the ritual customs that the town's faithful observe. After lunch in an authentic Turkish atmosphere, a local family hosts you in their traditional house. Visit a school ahead of your last stop at the tranquil Bay of Orhaniye, which tops off the pastoral experience.
About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Kizy750 contributionsAmazing value, great fun dayDavy 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 moneyWritten October 24, 2024
- karen w0 contributionsFab experiencePicked up and dropped off back at our hotel. Well informed by the guys of what we were doing . From start to finish an unforgettable experience loved it if you see this guys thankyou so much 🥰Written September 19, 2024
- garywhitting0 contributionsNot worth itPrice unrealistic per person and child, food waste or money pre cooked and rushed out service, staff cheeky and drink service unreal, show was good but prices didn’t justify everything sorryWritten August 23, 2024
- Rhiannon J0 contributionsTerrible, 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)Written August 14, 2024
- 653debraw0 contributionsTrip to Turkey from RhodesNot the best decision we have made… Long wait to board ship very cramped and didn’t enjoy being herded through customs etc at Rhodes or Marmaris. Coach took us to a Gold Shop - felt very uncomfortable in this environment… being followed from stall to stall. Felt pressured to buy BUT we didn’t. Grand Bazaar wasn’t inspiring either!!! Had a good lunch on promenade recommended by a guide … Marmaris looked beautiful from the coach but not the area we were left in!!! NOT RECOMMENDED Very hot day and too long hanging around .Written August 12, 2024

- Tap-n-Birdie0 contributionsImportant Info….Please ReadIm 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.Written July 28, 2024
- prezmekr0 contributionsStarted great and when it all went down hillI 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.Written July 24, 2024
- lukeadams680 contributionsFab tripWas fab fun..my favourite trip of our 10 day holiday Would highly recommend We took 2 buggies ( 4 of us) Better than quad bikes as lower to ground so got covered in gunk more Great you get water, mud and foam on you Up the Google’s and masks as gets dusty Staff great and clearly enjoy it Highly recommendWritten July 21, 2024
- DainB990 contributionsWaste of timeNot 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 12Written July 20, 2024
- 205skyk0 contributionsgood for a half dayloved it alot was very fun wish it lasted longer and the foam bit was longer but cant complain it was a good half day out would recommendWritten July 5, 2024
- J0nny5c0 contributionsBook 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!Written June 27, 2024
- alarav20240 contributionsnice water in hot weatherThe 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 natureWritten June 21, 2024
- rossc6200 contributionsOK, Worth it!The trip was good overall. When you get to the port the taxi drivers will offer 100 euro to take you to a beach no need as there is one 20 minute walk away which is nice. This beach is rocky but sunbeds, bars/restaurant are good and water is crystal blue. I would highly recommend you are at least 20 minutes early for your return ferry as the police officers are the worst if you are late, scream and shout at you like you are a child!!Written June 18, 2024

It is nice to drink tea under the approximately 2000-year-old plane tree. Tea was 10 TL, black mulberry drink was 40 TL and it was very nice. There is also a place selling local products.

After spending days on the beach or having had numerous boat trips, one could need a simple road trip to the nearby villages where mother nature is awaiting for everyone to embrace them and feed them with beauty and affection.
The day starts with a stop at Jesus Beach, an amazing natural reserve where one can walk in the water from one side of the beach to the other. You can also take photos with the beautiful parrots there!
Then, you will have a stop at a nearby mosque where the tour guide will explain the Islamic religious rituals and traditions.
The next stop was actually my favorite: You will be able to closely observe how women villagers produce carpets! It is mind-blowing! In fact, the carpet industry is very well-known in Turkey, and having the chance to actually meet the master minds behind it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
After that, you will walk up a mountain to a wonderful location where you will be able to see the breathtaking waterfalls and take unique photos.
Finally, you will have lunch in an old traditional restaurant!
The only problem that I have personally faced was in bus as the air conditioner was not functioning.

You need to bring a cover up for visiting the mosque?
