- Side - The Side Dolphin Island Boat Trip begins in the morning with a convenient pick-up from your hotel by our comfortable vehicles. After a short 5 km drive, you will arrive at the Kumköy beach pier, the starting point of the boat journey. This excursion includes three different swimming stops.

Don't!!! - No Mood on the boat, 2 hours sailing before the stop at dolphin island which is just some rocks with a little bit of greenery. Not a dolphin or turtle in sight. Lunch if you can call it lunch came only after 2 and you had to wait half an hour in line. Consisted of lettuce little rice, dry chicken and 1 more baguette you really didn't get. The only fun thing was the 10-minute foam 'party'. Not recommended!

Worst boat trip ever - turd island! - I’ve been on some great boat trips but this was just awful from start to finish! Picked up in a van that looked like it was about to break down! Got on the boat, was so overcrowded we struggled to find somewhere to sit. It was obvious the minute you got on it, it’s a money making scheme, constantly coming around the boat, trying to sell you things. The first stop off was at a dirty building site ‘beach’ they called ‘paradise’. We saw three human turds floating in the sea!! Then sailed in really choppy waters for hours, people were being sea sick. We then stopped off for half hour to jump in, which was absolute chaos. Then sailed back to the awful ‘beach’ to stop for half hour!! No dolphins or beautiful views as advertised. We all felt like it was a completely wasted day of our holiday. Would definitely not recommend. You are given a nice lunch that has to keep you going for 8 hours or the option to purchase crisps at 5 euros per pack, ice creams at 4 euros or bars of chocolate at 4 euros.
