We were picked up from the hotel right on time and greeted warmly and enthusiastically. On board, it was a big party with music, kids' entertainment, and a foam party. Swimming in the sea among the fish was fantastic, and as the cherry on top, we saw dolphins! The staff was incredibly friendly and created an amazing atmosphere. Soft drinks and water were included, while other drinks were available for purchase. The lunch was delicious and well-organized. Children without a swimming diploma were provided with life vests, so they could swim safely. Bringing cash is handy, but card payments are also possible (with an additional 15% fee). An absolute must, especially for families with children!

The trip was absolutely fantastic and well-organized from start to finish. We were picked up and dropped off on time, which made the experience stress-free. The stops were incredible—jet skiing on the Manavgat River and swimming in the middle of the sea near Alanya were definite highlights. Unfortunately, we didn’t spot any dolphins, which was a bit disappointing. The food was decent but could be improved; it was served cold with limited options—just salad, rice, chicken, and bread, with no specific options for children like fries. Despite this, we had a wonderful time and would happily go again!

The trip was enjoyable overall, but it didn't match the program we paid for. Instead of visiting Dolphin Island, we sailed along the Manavgat River, and the cruise route was entirely different.

Boat 07 - Alaaddin! ♥️ ⛴️ From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized through the app! Eric, our online contact, ensured everything went smoothly and was absolutely excellent. Our first stop was at the river for an hour, where we could enjoy both the river and the sea before having a well-organized lunch on the boat at 11:45am, with food served efficiently, area by area.The entertainment was a highlight—a hilarious and talented member of the animation team performed a belly-dancing act that had us all laughing uncontrollably! At the second swim stop, my 17-year-old daughter showed her bravery by jumping off the boat into the ocean, with the attentive crew watching and guiding us carefully.The fun continued with a foam party and entertaining performances, including hilarious miming to songs that kept us laughing. As the only two guests from England (and Turkish Cypriot), my daughter and I felt incredibly welcomed by the friendly and thoughtful staff. A massive thank you to the entire 07 Alaaddin team for making our day unforgettable!

The trip was very enjoyable and fun, but we didn’t actually visit Dolphin Island, so there were no dolphins to see. Thankfully, I hadn’t mentioned the dolphins to my daughter, as I was concerned this might happen. Other guests were also surprised that we didn’t go to Dolphin Island. While the river trip was nice, it felt a bit too long, which may have cut into time for dolphin watching. The food was tasty but served in small portions, leaving little room to make up for it. Despite these points, I would still recommend the trip and would do it again!

The tour was really fun and absolutely worth the money! The first stop was at the beach, where you could ride jet skis or grab something to eat. Afterwards, a delicious meal was served on board. Then, we headed out to sea along the coast, accompanied by great entertainment and a fantastic animation program for the kids. At the second stop, those who wanted to could jump from the ship into the sea. On the way back, a fun foam party kept everyone in high spirits. The crew took excellent care of everyone. In addition to the included drinks, there were extra offerings like ice cream, photos with a parrot, face painting, or snacks – all optional. We deducted a small point because the hoped-for dolphins unfortunately didn’t make an appearance. It’s probably difficult with the loud party atmosphere and music. Still, the value for money was great, and we had a really lovely excursion!

The boat trip with lunch was fantastic, and the transfers were exceptionally well organized. The children were given special attention, and the number of passengers on board was just right. We opted for the all-inclusive package, which offered unlimited Coke, Fanta, and Sprite served in cups, while those paying separately received bottles and cans—this was clearly explained when boarding. The swimming break was refreshing, and the food was enjoyable. The route took us along the coast to Old Side and back. While everything was well done, it's worth noting that you won’t actually see dolphins or a dolphin island as advertised. The area is likely too crowded with boats and too close to the shore for such sightings. Overall, it was a lovely boat trip with music, drinks, lunch, and swimming. At just 20 euros per person, including a bus transfer, it’s incredible value—cheaper than the cost of drinks alone in Germany!

The boat trip was enjoyable, with a hardworking and friendly crew. We experienced a minor hiccup with transportation as they initially missed us and another group, but it was resolved quickly with a car arriving about 10 minutes after our call. While the trip may not be ideal for younger travelers, it’s well-suited for families with kids. Note that there are only six sunbeds, so if sunbathing is a priority, it’s best to board early; otherwise, the shaded upper decks are available. We opted for tickets that included a drink, which I’d highly recommend, as additional purchases on board can be quite pricey. Overall, the staff truly made the trip enjoyable they’re fun and engaging.

The entertainers worked hard to keep the atmosphere lively and, of course, promote their offerings.

WARNUNG: Touristenfalle! Die sogenannte „Delphininsel“ ist lediglich eine Halbinsel zwischen einem Fluss und dem Meer – schwer vorstellbar, dass dort jemals Delfine gesichtet wurden. Das Personal war unfreundlich und wirkte unprofessionell, teils in Jogginghosen gekleidet. Außerdem war es sehr aufdringlich, da alle 20 Minuten Eis oder Getränke angeboten wurden. Das Essen war enttäuschend: trockenes Hähnchen, Reis und säuerlicher Salat. Bevor Gäste Nachschlag holen konnten, bediente sich das Personal großzügig am Buffet. Die Preise für alkoholische Getränke waren extrem hoch – 4€ für ein 0,3L Bier und 10€ für einen kleinen Cocktail! Die Toiletten waren stark verschmutzt, und das Klopapier war schnell aufgebraucht. Auch wenn der Preis niedrig war, passte das Gesamtpaket überhaupt nicht. Mit einer anderen Crew hätte die Erfahrung vielleicht besser ausfallen können.

If you enjoy overcrowded activities, this might be for you. The boat was packed with smokers, and there was no escape from the smoke. Pickup was 25 minutes late, and the day felt repetitive and overly long.

The excursion was disappointing and did not meet the described services. The tour was tedious and unnecessarily prolonged with additional breaks. The drinks included in the price were served in small plastic cups, and the lunch was very simple (a piece of meat, salad, bulgur). Everything else cost extra, giving the impression that the entire trip was designed to generate additional revenue. The name "Dolphin Island" sounded promising, but unfortunately, there were no dolphins to be seen. The only highlight was the swimming break at the island. Further breaks were used to offer jet skis, sunbeds, and similar items for an additional fee. The advertised 7 hours were exceeded, and we were on the road for over 9 hours. It was a shame to waste a vacation day, and most participants were visibly annoyed. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this tour.

The trip was long and rather unspectacular. While soft drinks were included, the lunch was average at best. Throughout the day, there were constant attempts to sell extras at highly inflated prices—even the loungers during the beach stopover required an extra fee. To top it off, there was an unplanned stop on the return journey. The so-called "Dolphin Island" is not worth the hype, and we didn’t spot any dolphins or turtles (perhaps we were just unlucky). The boat was also quite overcrowded. This trip seems more suited for older adults or families with kids looking for a relaxing day on the water and enjoying the weather. The short swimming breaks were the best part of the day, but overall, we were left disappointed.

The tour fell short of my expectations, and the weather was unsuitable for such a trip. Honestly, it would have been better if it had been canceled due to the conditions. The entire experience felt chaotic and overly focused on making money, with extra stops specifically to sell items and constant sales pitches on the boat. The poor conditions meant that many passengers felt unwell, leading to half the toilets becoming unusable. While the children's entertainment was decent and the staff made an effort, the overall experience was disappointing. There wasn’t much effort to spot dolphins or find great swimming spots just a basic boat ride with sales stops, a sea break, and a focus on selling food, drinks, snacks, photos, and pictures with a parrot. Unfortunately, it was far from what I had hoped for.

We expected to see dolphins, not spend 7 hours cruising along the coast. The food was terrible, and charging €5.50 for a beer felt excessive. If the description had been accurate, I might have given it two stars, but as it stands, it was thoroughly disappointing. The experience felt more like a dated "butter cruise" from decades ago.

Nothing promised was delivered. The "lunch" was more suitable for a small child, and the "free drinks" were just half a cup of water or cola. Other drinks were ridiculously overpriced. There was only one proper swimming break in the sea; the other was just to entertain kids and encourage spending on the beach. Despite paying for everything upfront, they tried to charge us an additional €25, claiming not everything was covered. The title "Dolphin Island" is completely misleading. Once and never again!

The trip was well-organized and so much fun. The boat was spacious, and the atmosphere was lively. The included lunch was tasty, and having a drink included was a nice touch. The swimming breaks were the best part, allowing us to cool off and enjoy the beautiful water. A great way to explore the area from the sea. 5 stars!
