The trip was fantastic - Our trip was excellent and absolutely worth it. Our only complaint was that the music on the way back was way too loud. Someone tried to turn it off, but it kept getting turned back on. This isn't a party boat. The lady who was sharing local information needs to slow down and use punctuation to take breaks. She was speaking too quickly; we had to resort to Googling for information.

I had an incredible day tour visiting this beautiful island - The entertainment on the boat was great, and the food served was both plentiful and delicious. The pick-up and drop-off from the hotel were well-organized, making the experience even more enjoyable. The tour guide was friendly, helpful, and provided excellent explanations about the tour and the island. I had a fantastic time and thoroughly enjoyed this trip

Nice trip on beautiful islands. - Nice trip with friendly crew. The two islands on the visit are beautiful and there is plenty of time to explore. The service to pick up and drop off at the hotel was also great.

Amazing experience, not the best food - It was really nice in both of the islands, in the first smaller one we took a tuktuk ride to the to and the views were mesmerising. The smaller island had a hop on hop off bus that you can only use with a turkish travel card. The weather was really nice also. Only downside the food was not great, small portion and overcooked make sure you bring your own snacks too but you can buy some on the ship also. We had loads of chai and drinks. They also had a personal photographer on board and costumes we took pictures in. And a pet parrot also, we could take pictures with and feed, Although they were really expensive to buy. Overall defo recommend

Nice to see the islands - just don't expect a tour - Pickup was scheduled for 8:30. Pickup happened at 9:45. The islands themselves were interesting. There was no guided tour - there was an English interpreter on the boat that translated what was said. The interpreter did help us to find the correct bus to take back to the hotel (or near hotel). The lunch was actually very good.
