Amazing Experience - Very nice experience, we enjoyed ourselves on the afternoon boat trip option. The crew were nice and had good spoken english. The boat ride was comfortable, with very nice views and 2 refreshing swim stops. The food was decent and the tea they served was a good touch. It’s worth experiencing however the 2hour ride on the mini bus could have been better as it was quite stuffy and hot inside even with the AC on. Its good to note that there was a 20 minute stop 30 mins before reaching the destination for the boat and another one on the way back for about 10 minutes where you could go toilet, buy some snacks/food/water etc. ALSO there wasn’t a way to wash your feet from the beach when you get back onto the mini bus until you reach the stop to go toilet get snacks etc as before so it might be worth having a bottle to fill up with seawater once you get off the boat or just carry an extra bottle with freshwater to wash your feet after

All good but the pick-up van - The tour experience itself was good. The view was stunning and swimming spots were really great. However, we did not like the pick-up experience: first, the van was packed but AC didn’t properly work. The 4 hour round trip was so uncomfortable and I was sweating so much. Second, the driver was literally on a call for more than half of the trip! It felt so dangerous when he drove full-speed whilst talking non-stop over the phone. Third, not just AC but the overall conditions of the van were awful - my first seat had a broken seat belt and the second seat was almost disconnected from the base. Every time it turned a corner my seat was literally half lying down to the floor so my partner had to hold my seat tight throughout the 2 hour journey!!! Well apart from that, again, we enjoyed the whole cruise/sightseeing/swimming experience.

Waste of money. - It's poorly organised. There are many boats that take passengers to the beaches each day, so all the boats anchor in the same place next to each, covering the whole beach front. There is nowhere to swim unless you swim under and in between each boat. The boat ropes are hooked over large stones on the beach. If you want to walk across the beach, you have to climb over or go under the ropes. It's very strange how they expect you to enjoy a proper beach day. You can't just sit on the beach and enjoy the views. Your view is all the 5 boats docked. Also, i found the beaches to be very stoney, unbearable to walk on. The lunch on the boat was nice.

Long, long day - Overall we had a fun day - but following pick up from our hotel it was 4 hours each way in a cramped hot minibus with a monosyllabic driver who spoke no English (I’m presuming as he never said a word to us!).
We were picked up at 6 am and not back till almost 9 pm!!
The boat trip was enjoyable with great stops in beautiful clear water but there are dozens of boats at every stop and hundreds of people on the beaches. The boats are so closely packed together that space to swim is extremely limited!!
It’s a long day - most of which was in a minibus!

The driver was insecure. - The driver was very much on the phone, and had little focus on driving to and from the boat. We didn't get bathed in the caves. There are many boats in a small place

Not worth it - Although the boat ride itself was nice and Raul, the guide, was absolutely great, the overall experience left much to be desired.
The ride there was AWFUL with no aircon in the van, poor interior, and the driver both texting and on calls for most of the 2 hour journey (each way)!!
The boat itself was well equipped but the stops were packed to the brim of people and it felt very very unsafe to be swimming around 6 or 7 boats with hundreds of people all over each other. There was also no sand, as advertised, at any stop. The water was lovely and so were the views but definitely not what is advertised.
Would not recommend and would not do again.

Disappointing - As previously mentioned, the bus had no AC, so we spent half the trip melting. The boat ride itself was actually nice. We stopped at two spots to swim, but without any announcements or information. We had lunch, and then, surprisingly, the trip ended, and we returned to the dock.
If we didn’t speak Turkish, we wouldn’t have known why the most important attraction of the trip — the “Maldives of Turkey” — was skipped. We were supposed to spend 4 hours there but didn’t get even a glimpse. The reason we were given was bad weather, which I can understand, but if 4 hours were planned there, why wasn’t there at least a chance to see it from the ocean?
The communication after the trip was also terrible. Everyone from each boat just left randomly, and we had to find our bus by looking for people we recognized from earlier.
