"We werden stipt op tijd opgehaald bij het hotel en vriendelijk en enthousiast ontvangen. Aan boord was het een groot feest met muziek, kinderanimatie en een schuimparty. Het zwemmen in de zee tussen de vissen was fantastisch, en als kers op de taart hebben we dolfijnen gezien! Het personeel was ontzettend vriendelijk en zorgde voor een geweldige sfeer. Frisdrank en water waren inbegrepen, andere drankjes waren te koop. De lunch was heerlijk en goed verzorgd. Kinderen zonder zwemdiploma kregen een zwemvest, zodat ze veilig mee konden zwemmen. Contant geld meenemen is handig, maar pinnen is ook mogelijk (tegen 15% extra kosten). Een absolute aanrader, vooral voor gezinnen met kinderen!"

"Our Dolphin Island trip was amazing! The pirate ship, onboard entertainment, music, kids’ activities, foam party, and delicious lunch made for a memorable day. We’re in our sixties, and it was wonderful to see people of all ages enjoying themselves—it’s truly a trip for everyone. Great value for money! The crew was lively and clearly enjoying the day alongside us, which added to the fun. The only downside was the transport from Side to Sorgen, as the driver seemed to rush after a late pickup.

"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!"

"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.

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!"

"Die Tour hat wirklich viel Spaß gemacht und war ihr Geld absolut wert! Der erste Halt war am Strand, wo man Jetski fahren oder etwas essen konnte. Anschließend wurde ein leckeres Essen an Bord serviert. Danach ging es hinaus aufs Meer entlang der Küste, begleitet von toller Unterhaltung und einem super Animationsprogramm für die Kinder. Beim zweiten Stopp konnte man, wer wollte, vom Schiff ins Meer springen. Auf dem Rückweg sorgte eine lustige Schaumparty für gute Laune bei allen. Die Crew hat sich hervorragend um das Wohl aller gekümmert. Neben den inkludierten Getränken gab es auch zusätzliche Angebote wie Eis, Fotos mit einem Papagei, Gesichtsmalerei oder Snacks – alles optional. Einen kleinen Punktabzug geben wir dafür, dass die erhofften Delfine leider nicht zu sehen waren. Vermutlich ist das bei der lauten Partystimmung und Musik schwierig. Trotzdem war das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis super, und wir hatten einen wirklich schönen Ausflug!"

"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. The music was slightly too loud for my taste, but that’s subjective, so I’m giving one less star for that. On the positive side, the package with an included drink and a tasty lunch made the experience enjoyable overall. Unfortunately, the waves were rough, and I felt quite seasick for the first time, as did a few others on board. Despite this, the trip had its highlights and was well-organized.

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.

Der Ausflug war enttäuschend und entsprach nicht den beschriebenen Leistungen. Die Tour war langatmig und mit zusätzlichen Pausen unnötig in die Länge gezogen. Die im Preis enthaltenen Getränke wurden in kleinen Plastikbechern serviert, und das Mittagessen war sehr schlicht (ein Stück Fleisch, Salat, Bulgur). Alles andere kostete extra, was den Eindruck hinterließ, dass die gesamte Fahrt darauf ausgelegt war, zusätzliche Einnahmen zu generieren. Der Name „Delfininsel“ klang vielversprechend, aber leider gab es keine Delfine zu sehen. Das einzige Highlight war die Badepause an der Insel. Weitere Pausen wurden genutzt, um Jetski, Liegen und Ähnliches kostenpflichtig anzubieten. Die angepriesenen 7 Stunden wurden überschritten, und wir waren über 9 Stunden unterwegs. Es war schade um den Urlaubstag, und die meisten Teilnehmer waren sichtlich genervt. Leider kann ich diese Tour nicht empfehlen.

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.
Helpful? Yes
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.
Helpful? Yes
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!
