• 5Amazing day trip

  Fantastic day out. Very well organised and at a very reasonable price. The bar staff were amazing and kept us topped up with drinks. All round a great day out.

• 4Nice trip , impressive landscapes

  The trip was really nice, with great stops, friendly staff, and good overall cleanliness. Seeing the turtle beach was amazing and having a glance of the turles is worthit! However, it felt like everything was a bit rushed. For example, we only had one hour at the mud baths, and because there were quite a lot of people, we barely had enough time to properly enjoy the experience. I think extending the time at the mud baths to around 1 hour and 15 minutes would have made the experience much more enjoyable. The same applies to the island stop, where having a little more time would have allowed us to relax and enjoy the visit without feeling rushed. One small point for improvement would be the frequent reminders and offers to purchase food and drinks while on the boat. Since the canteen , restaurant and bar are clearly available and easily accessible, I think guests would appreciate being given the option to approach them when needed, rather than receiving frequent reminders throughout the trip. Overall, it was a very nice trip, with nice landscapes and very good organisation but slightly longer stops and a little less emphasis on sales would have made the experience even more enjoyable.

• 4Bad end to the day

  The trip itself was fine. Food on the boat was terrible but that’s just part of catering for so many lettuce tasted horrible and was all brown. Definitely not a salad! Pickup was fine early even which was perfect. When we arrived back in marmaris it was a shambles, we had to walk to the end of the road taking 10 mins to a busy part along the street. Where it became a free for all trying to find a minibus that would take us back to our hotel which was well over half an hr walk and as my husband is waiting a knee operation was not possible. We were not told that we would get on any bus we assumed we would get on the same Bus that picked us up. We then got on a bus and had to get off to go another. A very disappointing end to what was a good albeit tiring one.

About Marmaris

Marmaris is a Turkish Mediterranean resort around a deep, pine-fringed bay, with a small castle, a yacht harbour and ferries to the Greek island of Rhodes.

Marmaris sits at the head of a long, sheltered bay surrounded by pine-covered mountains, and the harbour is lined with moored yachts and gulets. The small castle above the old quarter was rebuilt by Suleiman the Magnificent in 1522, when he gathered his fleet here before sailing against Rhodes, and it now houses a museum. Whitewashed lanes of the old town lead down to the bazaar.
