This was a trip to help break up the holiday. We are staying in Icmeler which meant an early pick up and over 1.5hr drive to the boat. Once on board the trip was great, the mud baths were an experience and seeing the hill carvings was interesting. The food on board was nice, drinks are not included and you cannot drink your own. Turtle beach is a stunning beach but you are unlikely to see turtles easily during the day. However we did see turtles swimming around the boats in the harbour when they were fed crab. They were amazing to see. The return journey from Turtle beach back to the harbour for the bus was nearly 2.5hrs long, plus then a 1hr 45minute bus back which made for a very long return and a very long day overall.

Amazing trip, worth every penny. We had a great time and definitely recommend it! Beautiful lake, mud baths, amazing tombs, turtles and wonderful beach. Don't forget delicious food and cold drinks! What else do you need?

Great day out, saw everything that the trip had to offer, although drinks weren’t included they were very fairly priced, the onboard photographer was great and very well priced.
The tour guide was funny and knowledgeable great at her job

The 1 hr bus ride to the river boat was easy with Annette giving a fun and informative commentary. Enjoyed lunch cooked onboard and loved the fresh crabs in the afternoon (paid extra for this experience). We didn't do the mud pool or thermal bath as it was so hot, but enjoyed a refreshing swim in the lake and later at Turtle Beach. Dalyan is a very pretty village and the rock tombs are quite spectacular. The husband and wife team who ran the boat and catered for us was friendly and attentive. I would thoroughly recommend this tour if you want a low key, relaxed day.

I didn't enjoy the experience to Dalyan.
The whole trip was tiring, way too long, crossing the lake and the river to the mud baths was around 2hours long, but I had a big excitement and paiciantely was waiting for the mud baths and tombs.
Mud baths were good but too short. Then my biggest excitement was to see Tombs. Unfortunately, the captain didn't even stop to please us to take a nice photo. However, we managed to see something, even the turtle, for 2 seconds.
Me and my husband was saying that we payed £63 just to sit on the boat in 36C heat with loud music.
Just so you know, at the end of the trip I started to have a big migraine but captain was too much enjoying his playlist to see how people feel in his boat. How ever the boat bottom was constantly wet, and he asked to keep our bags on the floor. All our clothing and towels, wallet was wet. What else I can add. It was disappointing. If I would recommend it? No. Would I go again? No.
Transfer from hotel around 30min. We was picking people from hotels, then transfer to the lake around 1hour, then cross the lake 1hour, mud baths 1hour, cross the river to the Tombs(was no stop) and turtle beach around 1hour. Swim in the sea and see turtles in turtle beach 1,5hour. Back to the boat and go back to the bus swimming with the boat 2hours. Back to the hotel 1hour.

Absolutely amazing experience. Scenery is breathtaking! The journey across the lake to the mud baths was as smooth as glass. The mud baths were phenomenal and my skin has never felt so good! Healing powers indeed and even got to swim with the turtles too! If you have an underwater camera, bring it - you won’t be disappointed. Lunch in the boat was freshly prepared and delicious. 10/10 once again - this is the third time of doing this trip and will keep doing it year after year!

It was the most dreamy experience really. Dalyan is such a special, ancient place to visit. I was absolutely mesmerized by it.

Very relaxing trip on the boat. It was actually long enough to forget and relax on the river and the lake. There were places on the back of the boat to lay down with an amazing view. At turtle beach we were very lucky to encounter a big turtle in total wilderness (not because of offering food), less than two meters away from us (it was where the river meets the sea. Highly recommend to walk around this place). Also beautiful view of the Tombs!
