Ölüdeniz: Butterfly Valley, St. Nicholas Island incl. Lunch

I think the advertisement for the trip was slightly misleading, stating that it was a family run boat, small number of guests and no loud music! HOWEVER, despite the large number of guests and quite loud music, it was such fun! Loved all the Turkish dancing and the staff were infectious in their enthusiasm for getting everyone to join in! Our first stop was Butterfly Valley, along with about 5 other boats. The allotted swimming area was tiny and obviously crammed with people and, I must admit, my heart sunk, thinking the rest of the trip would be like this. BUT, it wasn’t. What followed were beautifully quiet swimming stops, with amazingly clear and warm water, great for snorkelling and the perfectly adequate amount of time to enjoy ourselves! I don’t think we stopped smiling! The only slight downside for me, being vegetarian was lunch. Chicken or grilled fish were the choices. I got salad & chips as an extra! That said, the crew were friendly, engaging and wanted everyone to have fun! I thoroughly recommend this trip and would do it again in a heartbeat!

Good day out, not a complaint but somewhere in the middle of the day, the boat just stopped in the middle of nowhere and had some kind of Turkish party for 30 minutes, very random, crew were good, they did come round with drinks and ice cream which could be interpreted as being part of the trip, but as soon as you accepted one , another crew member would follow them and charge you for it, little bit sneaky,

Wasn't a small boat as expected. Too much Turkish not enough English input Would probably book differently next time
