My partner and I went on this excursion together, we booked in advance and it really did not disappoint!
I read a fair few reviews and looked through everything on the page before booking and my partner and I both cannot understand some of the reviews sharing bad experiences, everything that was stated on this page for the excursion was provided and the itinerary was exactly what was offered.
Our experience from this excursion was excellent and even though we have already experienced this I would happily do this again if we visit in the future.
First off I have to say that the staff were absolutely amazing! They were so fun, friendly and engaging and were looking out for all the customers making sure they were okay and had everything they needed.
Yes there was extra costs on the drinks and snacks but this was already stated and it was all fairly priced and clear, also you weren’t forced into buying anything extra if you didn’t want to. My partner bought beer and I had an iced coffee which was delicious.
The views were lovely, music was great even song’s I didn’t know I still enjoyed. The staff members also sang songs and joined in during the foam party which was amazing! I was shocked when I saw them singing I thought it was just a track but they were actually singing which was amazing, they were great!
There was also a photographer who would pose you with a parrot and take photos, he was very respectful and lovely too if you were afraid of the parrot he would just take a nice photo of you or you and whoever you’ve come with. Towards the end of the boat trip he did come around and show you the photos he had taken in prints, in frames and on a commemorative plate, you didn’t have to buy anything but me and my partner really loved the photos he took so we did buy some which again we thought were reasonably priced.
The beach we stopped at was gorgeous, you could also swim in the river if you wanted but I preferred the beach which was so refreshing to take a dip in the sea. There were stalls where you could get food, drink and buy items, water sports like jet skies and there were also camels that you could ride along the beach but again you weren’t forced into going to any of these or buying anything also the staff did tell everyone before getting off the ship what the prices for the water sports should be so they really looked out for you.
After the beach stop we boarded the boat and they had a bucket and hose where you could get the sand off.
When back on the boat they served a lunch of chicken, rice, salad and bread and it was honestly so delicious it was fantastic. My partner has a severe nut allergy but he showed them his allergy card which is in Turkish and there were no problems with anything & he could also eat the food which he also thought was super tasty.
After the boat trip we went on small coaches/buses and stopped off at the waterfalls which we bought a ticket for at the start of the excursion from the hosts at an extra cost of €4 each which I think is a great price. The waterfalls were beautiful and there were plenty of shops and stalls to buy souvenirs, trinkets, food and drink from if you wanted. After this we went back to the coaches and were taken to the bazar where we were given a meeting point and then given free time, this was a great experience but also a bit overwhelming as the bazar is so big and can be a bit daunting if you don’t like crowds but I still found it interesting to see all the stalls. After the free time we met back at the meeting point and our hosts made sure we all got back onto coaches/buses to be dropped off at our hotels.
The only thing I might change about this trip is I’d say it would be nice to spend a bit more time at the waterfalls over the bazar as we were at the bazar for a long time but I do understand due to the bazar being so vast you do need a lot of time there to explore it.
I would also like to say a big thank you to all the staff on this excursion they worked hard, provided a great service and they really did create wonderful experiences and memories for me and my partner.
