Nice well organised. Comfortable catamaran to go to Rhodos On the island there was enough time to walk around and eat lunch

A day trip to Rhodes! Sounds exciting, but be warned, a trip that takes @ day but no5 that much time in Rhodes. Coach pick up time is 7.35 am. You’ll get to the the port at Marmaris in 30 minutes or so. Then, queue number one for passport check and obtain boarding cards. Then, queue number two, passport control. Hey, eventually the boat pulls out at 9am. Into Rhodes at 10.35 and into queue number three; passport control (Again!) By about 11.10 we were into Rhodes at last. We must be back at the boat terminal god 3.15pm. So, after 4.5 hours we are back at the terminal, into a queue (number four) for passport control. At 4.00 pm the boat heads for Marmaris. At 5.30pm we dock and into another queue, number five, for passport control. By Labour 6.15 we boarded our bus for Içmellor, getting back about 6.45pm. A relaxing day in Rhodes? You must be joking!

We had a great day out on this trip. We were picked up from our hotel on.time and was an hour drive to get to the boat. The mud baths were brilliant. There are changing rooms and showers there. Then had lunch on the boat. Then went off to turtle beach where we saw turtles. The sandy beach is amazing, so you will need a spare costume if you want to swim in the sea. There is place to eat and drink on the beach and also changing rooms and showers. You see kings tombs cut out in the rock. The boat went slowly past so you could take photos. Then 2 hour boat trip back to the coach then an hour journey back to our hotel. So out from 8.15 to 6.30. So, a long day! You can buy drinks on the boat and photo of you in mud bath. It's very well priced, too.

A lovely day out with very friendly staff! It was lovely to see the popular sites in the area too! However, for anyone thinking of booking the experience it is a long day (roughly 11 hours) and you are only able to buy drinks etc from the boat….no food or drink that has been brought yourself can be consumed. Anyone who is hoping to see a turtle just keep in mind that this is not guaranteed although we were lucky enough to spot one as we were leaving! Overall it was worth the trip but just a couple of downsides!

We had a really fun day out on the Davy Jones 2 pirate ship, we had 2 swim stops, visit to the caves and visit to Turunc where there are bargains to be had. The reason for the three stars is that the all inclusive package basically consisted of watered down draft Tuborg and spirits. There were premium spirits and bottled beer available in a fridge but this was extra. The barman never had a fag out of his hand, even when pouring drinks which I found quite off putting (I'm a non smoker so maybe that might not bother others) Our lunch consisted of a piece of barbecued chicken breast, spaghetti and a tiny bit of salad, there were fries but they too were extra and you got about 10 fries on a small plate. Not really "all inclusive" anything decent had to be paid for. The foam party and dancing made it fun overall

Really easy to book and no issues through passport control on either side. A lovely day out in Rhodes with a comfortable crossing.

Very good value trip with spectacular views and very friendly guide and boat staff. The mud baths were busy but it was possible to find a quiet spot if you wanted one. Turtle beach was similarly busy but big enough to take it. We did see wild turtles which was a bonus. The cliff tombs were spectacular, an amazing engineering accomplishment and the river and Dalyan were lovely. It was a long day and you cannot take your own food and drink on the boat but they did sell drinks and snacks - we've all got to make a living right! - lunch on the boat was tasty and we also sampled blue crab later in the day. A lot of travelling but a good value trip all in all

The overall excursion was satisfactory, with the exception of some initial confusion regarding boat assignments. Upon boarding, we discovered that all the sun loungers were occupied, making it challenging to secure a seat. Despite this minor inconvenience, the actual trip proved to be quite enjoyable. The crew demonstrated great enthusiasm and entertainment skills, and even the cameraman was exceptionally helpful. The food was of high quality, served promptly and at an appropriate temperature, surpassing the standards of many restaurants. The music selection was excellent and encouraged participation from all attendees. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that everyone had a memorable experience, with a few individuals standing out for their exceptional service. The locations we visited were visually stunning, and the water was crystal clear, providing an excellent opportunity for swimming. However, for individuals with limited mobility, re-boarding the boat presented some challenges due to the round and small rungs on the ladder, making it difficult to maintain balance. Steps would have greatly facilitated this process. Additionally, general movement around the boat was effortless. In conclusion, we thoroughly enjoyed the excursion. I would advise taking this trip for anyone here

Traveled with a boat named Barkas and let me tell you if you want to end the day on a good note and your transport drops you off in front of this boat, turn right back around and ask for a refund. The trip started off well enough and we had a short swim break, we then moved on heading to turtle beach, again this was fine. Now is where things get interesting, as we got to the mud baths I asked for a locker or safe place to store valuables as this I was informed priot to the trip would be the case and told no problem! I raised this with a Barkas boat staff member who said just leave it by a bench, in full view of everyone present! As it was a see through water proof bag I informed him that this contained a lot of valuables I would not feel safe leaving out in the open, he kindly offered to hold onto it as we crossed the mudbath which only takes 15 minutes. Upon my leaving the mudbath, he was gone, likely to the river boats and so I was unable to pay for anything in the gift shop! Upon reaching the boat a few people were already there waiting, and my bag was there, I immediatly opened it to take out some change to run back to the shop only to find my walled had been cleared of all cash I jad jist withdrawn, thankfully no cards, mobiles or tablet e reader was taken. I raised this immediatly and the river boat captain said he hadent touched it. We got back to the Barkas Boat wjere I raised this with their staff, knowing there would be little that can be done bit to raise the issue, I jad also emailed the tour operator about this who responded immediatly. Now here is my issue, sure my fault for leaving the bag taking a stupid risk, and as the staff here depend on torlurism, I don't believe either the river boat captian stole the money, and upon speaking to the guests who arrived first back on the boat I was informed that the bag was already present left at the front with only the river boat captians son I presume, who served as some sort of entertainment and sails rep selling ice cream and drinks while on rout to and from the mud bath. Likely he was tempted and took his chance and it paid off, good for him! Anoy8ng though that when someone offers to look after something for you and then leaves it unguarded out in the open, had I know this was the case I would have skipped the mud bath and let the mother and children go. My problem here is that every where we went people are kind, here, knowing that I had just been robbed of all my cash didn't even offer as little as a bottle of water in this heat to my children. I guess business is business but for me this kills any prospect of ever going on this boat again amd making well sure no one on my circle does. Luckily I jad my digital wallet on my phone and paid for refreshments after moving some funds. Now we get to the cherry on top, I took the loss on tje chin, a little annoyed but it could of been worse, the phone and tablet were far nore important than the 2000.00 to 3500.00 TL lost. They brought out a parrot, and all the children ran to it to take photos, my two included, my son was jumping with joy and waited in line, striking tje parrot as it was passed from ha dler to other children, he was pushed aside twice to allow other children to take their photos, when my son was the last one in the line the handler walked away ignoring him. Not 5 minutes later they send a young boy with parrot photos and photos from the swimming, stop trying to sell them to us, the seiming photos were not proffesionally taken and I had taken better photos with a 10 year old Nikon coolpix AW120. I raised that we wanted parrot photos and my children were shooed away like some dog with rabies and then ignored when they both went up together to ask tje second time.

Great trip, lots of fun and very well Organised. Staff make it a really special day. My kids loved it as well as my 71 year old mum in law!

This was an experience and a half not even for the actual horse riding but the journey there on the road the driver nearly took us off the road! The whole mini bus gasped as we were very close to tipping over the edge of the mountain. Trust me I know people in Turkey drive fast but this was the most dangerous reckless thing I have ever experienced! When we got there to the stables we had to immediately lock our phones away so we could not take any photos whatsoever. You are then given a brief and asked who has ridden before etc. You are then walked over to the horses and given another brief of what not to do and what you should do and then off you go. You are told twice and the instructor even says it again keep your horse away from the horse in front however the horses have been trained to walk in a line and they are just constantly biting and kicking one another and if you are not an experienced horse rider there is nothing you can do as the horse just does whatever it wants to do. You get to walk through a river which is COATED in horse manure so if your footwear is covered in it and the bottom of your legs. You are asked constantly if you are ok which is nice that they check. When you get back to the stables you can buy the horses food which is £3 for one apple. Then you are pulled into a little room to be shown your photos which have been photoshopped and charged £40 per person to have your photos WhatsApp to you so as a family of 5 they wanted £200. We were offered £15 per picture which of course they make sure not to get a group photo so we would of had to buy 5 different pictures costing £75. When walking they keep you away from whoever you are in a group with which was a huge worry for me as my son who is 9 had never ridden a horse before was right at the front my partner right at the back and my daughter was somewhere in the middle. Another thing which was just a big blow was on the way back with the manic driver again my partner was talking to another family and they booked through a person on the beachfront and they paid £40 which was £20 for both adults and the kids went free. I however booked using TripAdvisor and paid £140 DO NOT USE TRIP ADVISOR TO BOOK EXCURSION AS THEY ARE QUARTER OF THE PRICE ON THE BEACHFRONT. My daughter was told that her horse was lazy and greedy and as punishment, it is made to run around outside in the heat non-stop for a few hours and this was for all the horses. One of the horses that just belonged to a worker there had a huge sore on its back which was an open wound. There is a baby donkey tied up to a pole in the middle of a field with no shade. Very sad that we have no pictures to remember this excursion as the price of the photos AGAIN is just ridiculous and you are physically made to lock your phones away.

Great day out to visit another country whilst on holiday! Can be a lengthy process at the port to check your passport, port fees security, But once passed all the normality the boat is air conditioned, has a bar on board for drinks and snacks. Takes about an hour or so each way, great way to view another country as you enter the waters, plenty to look at and see. You pull into the port in the Old Town of Rhodes, great to experience the little alleys surrounding the castle full Of shops, restaurants bars . Not too expensive.

The good Davy Jones ship out of all the ships. Lots of fun, food and music. Extremely welcoming staff and very involved, happy and helpful. Especially the pirate I forgot his name. He was amazing. Joined in with all the fun. Checked if everyone was ok. Fun for families but lots of alcohol and drunk Brits. Foam party and decent food with unlimited soft drinks. Stopped off multiple times to swim, life vests provided for those who want. Stopped off in turunc for a little shopping and then headed back.

Amazing horse ride through the forests above Marmaris. Fantastic to wade through the river on horseback. To be surrounded by nature in such a dry hot place is just what you need to feel.rejuvinated. Horses are looked after really well. Well fed and taken care of. Even if your first time horse riding it is an easy walk and they are very professional and look after all riders. Just a walk so if you are experienced rider already just enjoy the scenery and good vibes of being on a beautiful horse in lush and beautiful forests.

We were sold the idea of a day on a boat with lunch provided, lots of swimming, selfies with turtles, ancient toumbs and a mud bath. Let me tell you the photos make it look much more fun than it really is. We spent the first 4 hours chugging slowly towards the beach with people smoking everywhere and every member of staff available trying to sell everyone absolutely anything they could. We had a 20 min swim in a bay which might as well have been the same one as in our hotel. After this, they pressured people into buying turtle food for £40! They pressured people into buying an afternoon dinner on board as the lunch provided was laughable and served as early as possible to ensure you were hungry later. They also were targeting the children for photos with a parrot, printing the photos off and asking the children if their parents would buy the photos later - £7 each - special offer of 3 for £25 LOL! When we eventually got to ‘turtle beach’ we found out that there are only really turtles there in the early months of the year and certainly not an abundance in august! We should have seen this coming really but they really sold this place to us! After seeing no turtles and laughing at the man trying to charge us £10 for 30 mins on a sunbed we made our way back to the boat as our ‘hour’ of swimming was more like 30mins. They almost left one of the families behind on the beach and then proceeded to take us to a spot with one singular turtle surrounded by an army of boats desperately trying to catch a glimpse. MWe then chugged an hour down the river to the toumbs which were very impressive but we were not given much information and quickly sent on our way for another half hour to dalyan. They marched us to the mud baths and gave us 45 mins there. The showers to remove the mud you have caked into every inch of your body are also freezing despite there being a thermal bath and it took ages to wash off. There were also lots of children screaming about the cold showers so maybe give a miss if you have kids. We drove an hour and a half back to the ship, and then spent about 3-4 more hours on the way back inhaling other peoples cigarette smoke and being pressured into buying any old random things they could think of. Overall it was an 11 hour day with less than an hour of swimming, 5 mins of turtles (and that is generous) 10 mins of ruins 45 mins of mud baths and the other 8 hours is spent trapped with a bunch of pushy staff trying to squeeze every last penny out of you. Would never go again, was kind of cool but would have rather got drunk at the hotel and taken a selfie with some child’s inflatable turtle. If you do go get a private tour or don’t go from marmaris!
