Good day out - Lovely day, we were picked up from our hotel at 8, picked up a few other people and got to the boat. We had a lovely guide called Cherry who explained about the area. We sailed down the river to the mud baths and thermal springs. It was a great experience even though the showers were freezing. Got back on the boat to go to the cafe for lunch. Salad, bread, chicken and rice. Drinks were cheap. We then went to a place to pick up crabs to feed the turtles. We stopped at the tombs in the cliff and the guide told us about them. We then went to the turtle beach. We saw loads of turtles in the water. A very enjoyable day.

Dalyan river boat trip, worth it. - An amazing day out which the trip organiser sorted for us last minute. A coach trip to Dalyan and then on the boats. Straight to the mud baths, which was great and then back for food. The food was ok and plenty of it. Then back on the boats to Turtle beach, past the tombs, where they stop for you to take photos. the beach was sandy and he water was warm (the only beach that we experienced both of these things) and then you go and watch the turtles on the harbour, amazing!! they were everywhere, huge creatures, fighting over crab. every part of this day was something new for us, loved it.

When we booked this it stated infant... - <p>When we booked this it stated infant up to 6 free there were no exclusions on food stated however we was then told on the trip that his food was not included and we had to pay it wasn't a lot although I think this should of been stated on the exclusions at time of booking. Also they then asked for an extra 3 lira per person to enter turtle beach to use toilets and shower again not a massive deal but should also be stated at time of booking on the exclusions to be more prepared. Apart from that the trip was ok but beware there is very little chance on seeing turtles we just about managed one but was very faint under the water and on the river side and not in the sea. They also try to get you to buy crab saying it entices the turtles but it doesn't in fact the fish enjoy it more. The mud bath was ok but very smelly I could not go in the smell was too bad.</p>

The professional photographer was great as you didn't have to tak your own camera with the risk of ruining it; you could also buy the photos on a CD too. I would recommend to anyone interested.</p>

We saw dalyan, But i recommend you rent a car and go yourself. - The tour consisted of all russian speaking guests and 6 english speaking guests, The focus was unfortianatly on the russian speaking guests with very little attention to us (the english speaking guests), Which was very rude and made the tour a bit discomforting.

Picked up at hotel ... Loved the... - <p>Picked up at hotel ... Loved the boat trip and the mud baths but we could have done with longer there. On the way there on the coach the guide said we would possibly stop to see big turtles, medium turtles and little turtles .... So thought oh this is great and he talked about feeding them crabs ... Anyway we went on boat trip and saw the tombs etc was great ... And half way there the guide who had his grand daughter with him ... She was lying on the table on the boat and fell asleep and he put his head down and also fell asleep for what must have been half an hour and he didn't waken until we got to turtle beach .... When someone from the group said they thought we were stopping to see the turtles on the way ... He made some comment about new laws and said I will explain once we come back from the beach ..... We spent a short time on the beach and on arriving back at the boat he told us the law had just changed the week before and we weren't allowed to stop and see turtles or feed crabs ... Maybe this is true but we felt that he had fallen asleep and therefore the reason why we didn't stop ... Why tell us about seeing turtles and what the schedule was when it wasn't going to happen ... Not happy</p>
