Among these natural wonders is the famous spa, where participants can indulge in the mineral-rich mud baths and unwind. This offers a delightful experience of playing in the mud while also enhancing health.

A lovely day trip! - What a fantastic day!
The mud baths were fun if a bit odd, sadly the showers didn't work but it was easy enough to wash the mud off using the water around and the pool.
Lunch was simple but nice with chicken meat balls, salad and rice.
The boat to the tombs was great, watching the scenery and the tombs themselves were really cool with a small history lesson from the guide.
You can try the blue crabs which aren't bad, and worth it to then encourage the turtles to surface.
We only saw one turtle but it was nice nonetheless.
The beach was fantastic with a nice warmish ocean to swim in or soft sandy beach to sunbathe on.
All together a nice day and the guides were lovely.

Turtle Beach and crab - We've got picked up just outside of our hotel. Our tour guide Sonny was very friendly amd informative. He warned us that he loves to talk and share stories and his humour definitely made the bus ride much quicker and funnier.
We were most interested in the Turtle Beach which was amazing and we managed to see a few turtles as well which was a bonus.
100% recommend this tour and the blue crab was really tasty!

Great Day Out - Water shoes are handy for the mud bath as the floor is slippy
Turtle beach is lovely, the water is warm.

Turtle island with sonni - The coach trip was longer than expected, but sonni our guide was a great commentator. Telling true g
Facts and fun facts. The boat ride was great and sonni took time to show points of interest with great knowledge. Sonni was happy to help by taking people's photos.
I lived the mud bath and the doctor fish. I especially liked the turtles at the end as they were so close

Really enjoyable trip - Really enjoyable trip with a wonderful Turkish host, who was funny & informative.
Dalyan was beautiful & seeing the turtles was truly amazing.
Only gripe was the polish interpreter on board who really didn’t know when to stop talking.

Brilliant experience - We booked the excursion through our hotel after seeing reviews of turtle beach and it did not disappoint. We got our transfer first thing in the morning which was air conditioned so was a much more pleasant journey than expected seeing as it was about an hour long. We got straight off the coach onto the boat and headed off. We were introduced to the crew and the tour guide (I can’t remember her name but she was great. Very funny and informative) you’re offered drinks as soon as you board and are walked through what to expect for the day. The water was so calm (which was ideal for me as I suffer with motion sickness) the views were amazing. After about an hour you’re dropped to the thermal bath and mud baths where there are toilets and places to get food/drink. We opted to get straight into the mud baths which don’t smell half as bad as expected but the experience was so fun. Everyone was laughing and interacting with eachother. You then get to shower and swim in the lake which was beautiful. After over an hour you’re back on the boat, served a lovely lunch of chicken, pasta and salad and then pass the ruins. The views were breathtaking and the tour guide was talking us through all the history. We then had a quick stop to collect the crabs that were ordered for us to either eat ourselves or feed to the turtles. Then we arrived to turtle beach. The beach was beautiful. The sea was one side of the sand and the fresh water on the other. You can swim in either sides but not where the fresh/salt water meet due to the currents. After patiently waiting and slight worry that we wouldn’t actually get to see any turtles we finally saw 4/5 of them swimming at the top of the river. It was a once in a lifetime experience and I am so glad I got to witness it. We fed the turtles and watched for a while before boarding the boat to return. The journey back was quite long (2-2/12 hours) but whilst going back they bring round photos they took of you and your party while you’re out for the day. Overall the experience was one of the best I’ve had.
Me and my boyfriend loved it and would highly recommend to anyone visiting marmaris!

Great experience - Excellent, varied experience which was well organised. Take cash for little extras and a towel for the mud bath and beach. Lunch was great for me but the gluten-free option was poor unfortunately- just salad with no protein. So that could be a consideration for some.

Great day trip from Marmaris to experience mud baths, river cruise & Turtle beach - Our guide, Sonny, informed us that he liked talking...& he didn't disappoint! Giving an interesting & informative presentation during various parts of this amazing, value for money tour. We experienced the mud baths (Sonny assured us we'd all look 10yrs younger?!), a river cruise & an opportunity to see loggerhead turtles in their natural environment. We would recommend this full day trip for anyone wishing to see & appreciate some special places while staying in Marmaris.
