A "really great day"! So the conclusion of our sons 10 & 15. We were just amazed! Picking up at the hotel went smoothly. In the afternoon of the day before we received information at what time we would be picked up at the hotel locker and how we would recognize the bus. He was there on time and took us to the ship in 40 minutes (other hotels were also approached). Here we were able to decide whether we wanted chicken or fish for lunch. We made 4 swimming stops. At 3 you could jump off the ship EVERYWHERE. The music was always great and yet a bit "German-heavy". The foam party at the end was awesome! The music, the animation... just great! Raki was €5, beer €3, soft drinks €1.50 and water €1. Gözleme was available for €2 each. Pringles chips cost €3 (the large can). We would book it again next year if we came back! Just great!!!!

Fab trip that was incredible value for money. Sadly we didn’t see any dolphins as towards the end of the season and just saw the beak of a turtle pop up briefly, but we had a delicious lunch and a great time with the foam party. Loved the pirate ship and having photos with the parrot. Very friendly crew picked us up directly from our hotel. Plenty of swimming and snorkelling stops too. Thank you :)

Transfer worked great, employees on the boat tried very hard and were funny. Just a great day. Recommended. We saw turtles. Unfortunately, 2 dolphins dived too quickly so that we didn't see them. But the organizer can't do anything about that.

Well planned program, nice staff, good food. Overall very nice and recommended!

Super nice, we can only recommend it and would do it again and again ☺️
