Itinerary
Expect to visit some particularly beautiful and important places, and to have a fun, yet interesting day! This full day excursion begins in the morning time when a driver picks you up from your hotel in Bodrum. The tour is guided by a professional, local guide who is in charge of letting you know useful facts about the places of interest. L
Before reaching the port, expect to get an energising breakfast at Gokova bay (Breakfast ovn expence). The landscape is beautiful and pristine, so make sure that you will snap some photos while there.
At the port, you will embark on a spacious and fully equipped boat, and enjoy an interesting, and fascinating river cruise. Dalyan river provides the perfect ground for exploration, as it features a balanced combination of natural beauty and ancient sites. The river flows through an area that is particularly famous for its lush vegetation and colourful flora. The tranquillity of the scenery, along with the positive vibes, are about to spice up your experience, and offer you great memories.
Among the most interesting stops of this river cruise, is the one at Turtle beach. This bay is at the mouth of the river, where Dalyan meets the Mediterranean. As the boat anchors there, you can jump and swim into both, the river, and the sea. If you are lucky, you may also observe some turtles!
One hour lunch break
After an energising lunch, the tour continues with a visit at Dalyan’s mud pools. Feel free to cover your body with mud, and relax while getting your skin revitalised.
This tour finishes in the afternoon, when the bus drops you off at your hotel in Bodrum. Dalyan Tour would be an amazing opportunity to visit famous locations, and to unwind with a river cruise.

Hi, I enjoyed mud experience but it was man made mud not natural.. the hot spring pool tiny and do Anything disappointing. Was nice to be on the boat. Lunch food ok but we were told a sea view instead we re in A dull hall felt like I was in school canteen x
Thanks for your comment, we will take your advice into consideration.
The actual experience was lovely- the mud baths were fun, the lunch was OK and the boat and scenery were stunning. The transfer time from Bodrum was nearly 4 hours though!!! We were told it would be around 90 mins. My children get very travel sick and 8 hrs of travelling in 1 day is too much in 33° heat. We also felt that, the unexpected extra stop offs for crab "to attract the turtles" (despite only receiving the crab after we'd left turtle beach where we saw no turtles) and the stop off at a wine cellar (not child friendly after a long day) were simply ways to get us to spend more money. Having said all that, the trip was very special and I would recommend to anyone staying nearer to Dalyan.

Fantastic trip!! The mud baths, tombs, river, beach, blue crab were all fantastic. But the two guides were what made the day. Particularly Aslan, who went above and beyond from the moment we met him! A must do!
