Melissa was our tour guide for the day, and she was fantastic—thorough, funny, and super helpful. The mud bath felt a bit strange at first but turned out to be so much fun, with claims of making your skin feel 10 years younger ????. There were plenty of lunch options, too. Honestly, a 10/10 experience!

What a fantastic day! The weather was perfect, our guide was excellent, and the group size was just right. The mud baths were a lot of fun, especially since we arrived early. The buffet food was decent and did the job. While we didn’t see many turtles, it didn’t take away from the experience. It was a long but totally worthwhile day we came home happily exhausted!

We had an incredible experience today! Our tour guide, Melissa, was fantastic. The views were breathtaking, the lunch was delightful, and the mud baths were such a fun experience. The highlight, though, was Turtle Beach—getting to feed and see the turtles up close was truly unforgettable.We booked through Ozzy at the Seaside Travel shop on the Ölüdeniz strip. He was wonderful, and we’ve already booked another activity with him for our holiday. Highly recommend!

We were looking for a day excursion local to Oludeniz/Fethiye and decided to try out the turtle beach/mud baths boat trip. We were picked up from outside our hotel and taken to the coach, which took us then to the boats. The guide was great, very cheerful. Facilities however were a bit disappointing. Two boats allocated for our party were large, snacks and drinks were available to purchase from the captain. Guide and captain should perhaps consider limiting alcohol for some of their guests as some got very drunk and loud, it was tiring to listen to them especially on our way back. Guide completely lost control over the group and our trip back was delayed. Mud baths - not my thing, so I cannot really comment. Very overcrowded. I sat on the boat and read a book. Boats were arriving and leaving, tons of people queueing to get in the baths and out. Lunch - trips turnaround is mental, one trip leaves, another enters. There was a buffet with side salads, legumes, pasta and bread and individual orders of chicken, fish or spag bol were taken table by table. Soft drinks were served from a trolley. Very limited sanitary facilities. Turtle beach - the best bit in my opinion. First time seeing turtles swimming freely out in the wild. There were several just swimming up to the boat, waiting for crab. Beautiful. The beach itself was sort of sandy/pebbly, very similar to others in the area. Plenty of changing rooms and showers, sun loungers available to hire.Boat back was delayed as 2 drunken tourists fell asleep on the beach and the guide had to go and look for them. Embarrassing. Totally ruined the trip, they were loud, laughing, falling over, trying to jump in the water. Awful. I can't imagine what it is like in high season. Guide's boyfriend (also a photographer trying to sell his photos to us) left his bag behind at one of the stops so the coach was turned around for him to get his belongings back. I appreciated that it was accommodated, because I'd like to think they'd do the same if I left my bag behind. write it different.

What an incredible day easily the best of our trips in Turkey! Although it started a bit rocky because we confused our hotel locations, Seaside went above and beyond to find us. Once on track, we immersed ourselves in the beauty of the Dalyan River, marveled at the ancient golden tombs, and relaxed on the pristine sandy Turtle Beach adorned with sea daffodils. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing day on the riverboat! Our guide, “Curly,” was fantastic—his passion for his job was evident and made the experience even better. The coach transfer took us to the boats, and for larger groups, they split you into two boats for comfort. The trip started with a visit to the mud baths, where a photographer on board captured family photos. While some of the poses felt a bit cheesy, the pictures turned out great, and we now have lovely keepsakes of the kids and us together. The mud baths were a lot of fun, and you quickly get used to the sulfur smell. Afterward, we returned to the starting point for a fresh meal, with options like cold starters and a choice of hot chicken, fish, or spaghetti. Next, we headed to Turtle Beach, stopping along the way to try BBQ blue crab—one portion was perfect for a taste. Turtle Beach was absolutely stunning and the only swim spot on the tour. Drinks and snacks were available for purchase on the boat, with the captain settling up at the end at reasonable prices. Overall, a fantastic day out!

What an amazing trip—so much fun! It was my first time experiencing a mud bath, and I wish we’d had just 30 more minutes to let the mud fully dry. The hot springs at the same spot were wonderfully warm and such a pleasant surprise! The boat ride was relaxing, and we even enjoyed fresh, frozen pomegranate juice for just one euroabsolutely delicious!The ruins were fascinating to explore, though another 10 minutes there would’ve been great. The beach was lovely, but the sand gets very hot, so water shoes are a must. Entry costs 150 Turkish Lira, with additional charges for sunbeds or umbrellas.Our guide was fantastic, with just the right touch of humor, and the photographer was brilliant—he made everyone feel like a model and offered me a great deal on 65 fun and unique photos, which he downloaded straight to my phone. Thanks for a memorable day!

The day went very well. The mud bath is a great experience, which perhaps could have lasted longer. A photographer is present on board, if you don't want to worry about taking photos. The food was good (veggie buffet + fish or chicken or pasta option). We were quite a large group so unfortunately I didn't hear all the historical explanations of the tombs. The stop at turtle beach is nice!
