The views were breathtaking. The settings was very peaceful and tranquil. Been here before however never on a boat. Apart from the frequent stops which did irk a few of us it was amazing and very enjoyable and didnt retract from the overall enjoyment and relaxed atmosphere. The time was well spent however fewer stops would have been better.
We appreciate your feedback. We are happy that the peaceful setting made your first boat trip here enjoyable, and we thank you for your helpful note about the itinerary pace.
Boat trip advertised as having NO loud music, which is why we booked it, but there was loud music blaring out over speakers. There was no info given about the area, stops or length of time you would be there. We stopped at butterfly valley and we missed the waterfalls, more local info would be good, good trip for the swimmers, food cooked on the BBQ was lovely, plenty of drinks and snacks etc on offer, prices easily mount up.It wasn't too packed which was nice. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
We are genuinely sorry about the music. We specifically promote our tours as 'no loud music' to keep things peaceful, so we will immediately check with our boat crew to ensure this doesn't happen again. Thank you for your constructive feedback about wanting more info on the stops, and we're glad you enjoyed the fresh BBQ food and the uncrowded atmosphere.
We are a family of four with two kids under 9 years old. We did the 6 island boat tour and the saklikent gorge/Gizlikent waterfall/Tlos tour and we had a transfer to the airport from Fetihye. The agent that answers all your questions on whatsapp went above and beyond helping me. The tour guide for Saklikent was amazing and so kind. The boat trip was amazing. My kids loved jumping off the boats! I highly recommend this company!
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! I am so glad I could help you out on WhatsApp and make your family's holiday planning easier. Hearing that the kids loved jumping off the boat and that our guide took such good care of you at Saklıkent means the world to us. Safe travels!
We had a wonderful day on the One Dream boat. The food was very good. The crew is friendly and attentive. Thank you very much, and I would be happy to return.
Herzlichen Dank! Unser gesamtes Team freut sich sehr über Ihr Lob. Schön, dass Sie die entspannte Atmosphäre und das gute Essen bei uns genießen konnten. Wir freuen uns schon auf Ihren nächsten Besuch!
Booked before we went and the local company messaged with details the day before. Would have liked more than 40 minutes at the butterfly valley stop, so we could walk the whole trail. Most of the other stops were just for swimming by jumping into the sea. One other I would have liked to explore ...the st Nicholas island ...but the boat couldn't get near enough for the gang plank to reach land and anyone getting off got soaked! My husband had not planned to swim and so was not dressed for this! It was not made clear prior to booking that this would be the case. Food was nice, you could choose chicken or fish on the morning. It was buffet style. Not great with allergies (im coeliac) so I just said no to the rice (orzo?) and bread. Drinks and food available from on board bar/ cafe but they were quite pushy bringing food round that hadn't been ordered. It said no loud music...we wanted a relaxing trip not a party boat...but the party boats seemed to dock at all the same places with music blaring right next to us!
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We are glad you appreciated our pre-trip communication and the food quality, but we regret that some aspects of the day did not meet your expectations. To ensure we can showcase all the beautiful bays of Ölüdeniz within a single day, stops like Butterfly Valley are managed with specific time slots. Regarding St. Nicholas Island, boat captains must prioritize maritime safety; when sea swells or winds prevent a safe, dry docking, staying slightly off-shore is necessary to protect passengers. We always encourage guests on island tours to wear swimwear or water shoes, as coastal conditions can change. We take dietary requirements very seriously; had our team been informed of your coeliac disease in advance, we would have gladly prepared a strictly safe, cross-contamination-free option for you. Lastly, while we strictly enforce our 'No Loud Music' policy on our own vessel to ensure a peaceful atmosphere, we unfortunately cannot control public waters or the docking choices of other standard party boats in the region. We appreciate your constructive critique, as it helps us refine our service description.
We booked this trip and went out on the boat The Pioneer,It was a very good trip 6 islands including butterfly valley ,Lunch provided which was very nice.stopped in some great places for swimming.Crew very friendly very helpful my only downside was butterfly valley think we were to early for the butterflies but other wise great day out for a reasonable price 😀
We appreciate your feedback! It's great to hear that our crew and the swimming stops met your expectations. Thank you for mentioning the reasonable pricing and the quality of our service. We hope to welcome you back to the islands again soon!
