What you'll do

Sun, sea, and swimming are just a few of the things that make this boat trip so relaxing. Sailing in a traditional Turkish gulet, you’ll enjoy an open bar, a chance to swim and snorkel and a tasty local lunch. All the ingredients for a great day on the waves. You’ll climb aboard a traditional gulet boat and set sail out of Side. Cruising Turkey’s Mediterranean coast, you’ll grab a drink from the bar and admire the views as you sit back, relax and top up your tan. Dropping anchor, you’ll stop off for a dip in the sea whilst back on board the crew prepares a delicious lunch. And after your fill of food, there’s plenty more time to unwind as we take a leisurely sail back

Lovely way to spend the day

Really great trip from start to finish. Driver was very good and prompt. Food on the boat was lovely and we got to see both dolphins and turtles! Great music and the swim stops were very welcome on a hot day. Everyone was very friendly and enjoyed the foam party! Highly recommended 👌

Amazing day out!!

Suitable for couples & familes, food was great and plenty of opportunities to have a swim in the Mediterranean. Entertainment on the ship was fun and a good laugh including the foam party after lunch.

Amazing experience highly recommend

This was my first time ever aboard , and doing something like this trip The trip was amazing ,, every single member of staff are brilliant , very friendly and helpful , made me feel so welcome Right from the start talha message me to sort times and pick up , Even checking in while on the trip I had some issues getting on boat due to my mobility and weight but not one person said or made me feel like less of a person it was the complete opposite, they all came To help and give suggestions on ways to get on I can’t be more grateful for that experience , it made me feel more at ease And being able to face my fear of birds by holding the beautiful parrot was my highlight Also a thank you to the gentleman taking The photos u made me like a human and beautiful ( as I don’t seem my Self that way ever)there was no judgement from you when taking them or when showing , you had the most genuine smile on your face Every member of staff was the same

Nice relaxing boat trip with beautiful views

I joined this Dolphin Island boat trip during my time in Side and had a really nice day on the sea. The tour started with a hotel pickup and everything was arranged smoothly. After arriving at the harbor we boarded the boat and started sailing along the coast, enjoying the fresh sea air and the beautiful views of the Mediterranean. During the trip there were a few swimming breaks which were very refreshing and a great chance to cool off in the clear water. Lunch on the boat was simple but enjoyable and the atmosphere throughout the trip was relaxed and friendly. Overall it was a very pleasant day on the water and a nice way to spend some time away from the busy beach areas.

Fab trip

Fantastic way to spend a day. Transferred to the boat was on time and a smooth journey. The beach where the boat stopped was stunning, beautiful clear water. The lunch was absolutely delicious and efficiently served. Toilets spotlessly clean. The drinks included in the price are served in small plastic cups, so a bit of a pain walking up n down from the top deck. Sadly no dolphins were spotted, but still a great trip. The only minus points for us were the fact that the sunbeds are just pads on the floor placed very close together. The music was absolutely awful and far too loud.
