Start your experience with a pickup from your centrally located Fethiye hotel, then board your air-conditioned coach and head north to Dalyan. After around 1.5 hours on the road, arrive at the Dalyan River and board your boat for your cruise along this picturesque river, which weaves through a protected nature reserve. Settle on board and enjoy the views as you glide past reed beds, fields and islands, watching for the area’s abundant wildlife as you go.Sail past the ancient ruined city of Kaunos and visit a riverfront restaurant to enjoy an included buffet lunch of traditional Turkish staples, salads and desserts.
Next, cruise upstream to the Dalyan mud baths. Put on your bathing suit, coat yourself in the mineral-rich mud, and let it dry before bathing in a warm, clear-water sulphur pool. When you finish, revel in the after-effects: the mud is said to soothe skin complaints and leave you feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and 10 years younger.Back on board, sail under the Kings’ Tombs of Kaunos, cut into cliffs above the river. Click photos of the rock-hewn tombs as you hear how they were carved in the 4th century BC as burial places for Kaunos’ kings.Sail through the river delta and perhaps spot rare loggerhead turtles as you head to İztuzu Beach (Turtle Beach). This 3-mile (4.8-kilometer) beach is a protected breeding ground for these endangered creatures, so look out for them on the sands. Then, enjoy time to swim or sunbathe before returning to your boat and cruising back to Dalyan.Here, hop onto your coach and relax on your ride back to Fethiye, where your trip ends with a hotel drop-off.Please note: The order of activities as described above may be subject to change on the day of your tour.

We went on a private tour from Gocek, going private is the best option as you get the boat for just you and your family and should only cost you approx €40 more. There are drinks on the boat which are reasonably priced. Last time we did this tour back in 2012 there were local boats on the river pulling crab straight out of the water and cooking them in front of you, which were lovely. Probably due to H&S this now does not happen, you stop at a shop which sells you the crab already prepared. The crab tastes great but they are small and difficult to eat, you have to break open the shell with your fingers or teeth, which can have sharp edges and easy to get cut on. Turtle beach is great and on the way back you can stop at one of the many restaurants along the river bank, which are great. Good day out.

Absolutely wonderful excursion and we had a wonderful day! Attila our guide was so friendly and caring and attentive! He looked after us and our baby and made us feel warm and welcome. He gave us amazing information in a fun way and he gave us amazing tips. I would thoroughly recommend any trip with him. The boat ride with our driver Ahmet was lovely and our bus driver was also brilliant. The mud baths were brilliant and we have enough time there. The Kaunos tombs are remarkable if you like history and at turtle beach we got to see turtles in the water - they won’t be on the beach during the day! It was excellent and a bonus as I didn’t think we would get to see them. Lunch was buffet and it was fabulous - the baby also had a wonderful day. I would highly recommend and I would do it again!

- Le trajet vers Dalyan s’effectue en bus Pour commencer la journée, un arrêt dans un market s’effectue afin de nous rafraîchir.Ensuite, nous allons sur un bateau afin de nous rendre à l’endroit où se trouve le bain de boue/sources chaudes… (où environ 300 personnes se trouvent). Puis, nous effectuons une balade (toujours en bateau) sur la rivière, où nous apercevons brièvement les tombeaux lycéens, jusqu’à la plage des tortues. Sur cette plage vous avez le choix entre aller vous baignez ou observer les tortues (côté rivière à côté des bateaux) Enfin, vous rentrez tranquillement jusqu’à votre hôtel

This was a lovely trip but we could have been warned that it would be very cold out on the river. Fortunately we had hoodies with us but everyone was using towels also to try and keep warm. The mud baths were great but the freezing cold showers after were a bit brutal !! The chicken lunch appeared good but the fish choice was very poor. NO turtles seen at all….. very disappointing.

Imperdible el baño de barro aunque huela mal ... es muy gracioso pasar el día! El paseo es un verso y la playa de las tortugas no me gustó para nada. Vimos de casualidad dos tortugas.
