Exhausting.
Very long trip. I practically spent more time on the bus than enjoying the places that were planned for the excursion. Very little time to eat and of the 2 free hours at the beach, I lost one looking for a lounge chair. The lagoon is very pretty but the beach is very narrow and crowded.
Response from the operator: Gracias por tomarse el tiempo de dejar su comentario. En la descripción de nuestro tour se especifica claramente la distancia y la duración del trayecto entre Marmaris y Fethiye, por lo que el tiempo de viaje no es ninguna sorpresa. Entendemos que el trayecto pueda resultar cansado, pero habiéndose cumplido el itinerario al 100% y punto por punto, considerar este servicio con solo 2 estrellas nos parece una valoración francamente injusta para con nuestro equipo y el trabajo realizado. La afluencia de gente en la playa y la disponibilidad de tumbonas en Ölüdeniz durante la alta temporada dependen exclusivamente de la gestión de los club de playa locales, algo que se escapa por completo al control de cualquier operador turístico. Nosotros garantizamos y entregamos todas las paradas y tiempos prometidos en el programa. Agradecemos sus observaciones, pero no podemos estar de acuerdo con una puntuación que no refleja la calidad ni la ejecución del servicio prestado.

More time in the bus then exploring and poor communication
Places visited very beautiful but the tour itself not the best or great communication. The guide was very friendly but didn't really give good communication - talked alot about irrelevant things. I booked this tour for the sole purpose of doing the paragliding - which, despite messages twice before hand to confirm I wanted to do it was unable to actually do it. Thue had no idea I have had confirmed previously I wanted to do and given very little information on the day about it only to be eventully told if I wanted to do i would be unable to visit the blue lagoon - something that was never told or highlighted in the tour description! So be aware you have to pick between the Blue Lagoon OR paragliding and it's $140....so I ended up not doing it as it would have ment missing out on the Blue Lagoon and leaving my friend alone all morning. I also I asked for a price before hand and told they didn't know - surely they would know this if it's an optional part of the tour? The place we stopped for lunch was very pretty - with lovely cute areas of hanging chairs, a pond with ducks and some cosy floor chairs and cushions (the traditional Turkish floor seating) but instead of letting us experience this we had to sit under a cover and normal tables and chairs separate from all this.....not sure why as it would have made much more enjoyable and part of a Turkish experience. The second part of the tour was the Secret Canyon...which again is beautiful but difficult to navigate without water shoes so if you have some bring them with you! There are market stales selling them but you aren't given enough time to buy any. Was told the drive back would take 2.5-3 hours but actually took 4hours with two stops (one was enough) In total you'll spend about 7 hours on the mini bus with only 2.5 to explore the places.
Response from the operator: Hello, your comment is valuable to us. We have added all the points you mentioned to our product, thank you for your warning. Regards Atilla Arman

A definite must - but make sure it’s in English and all included
This tour was absolutely breathtaking. We decided to do paragliding in fethiye and it was one of the best things I’ve ever done. We saw the blue lagoon, learned where the ancient areas were, at food (breakfast and lunch) and also went to sikliket which has an ancient water stream that has mud that you can do mud masks with and you can walk through the water which is crisp and clear! It was honestly so amazing. However, we had booked an English tour and the whole tour was in Russian as our bus was Russian. The tour guide was great but we didn’t understand what she was saying so we didn’t learn anything. If it wasn’t for my boyfriend being Turkish, we would have been lost. We got a headache as it was long hours of Russian. But other than that, so stunning and worth the price.
Response from the operator: Hi, Thank you very much for your nice review. Hope see you again. Regards Atilla Arman

Fethiye Saklikent and Oludeniz Day Trip from Marmaris: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marmaris.
How much does Fethiye Saklikent and Oludeniz Day Trip from Marmaris cost?
+
Prices start at $55 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Marmaris usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Fethiye Saklikent and Oludeniz Day Trip from Marmaris take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Marmaris is not rushed.
Is Fethiye Saklikent and Oludeniz Day Trip from Marmaris worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.4/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Marmaris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Fethiye Saklikent and Oludeniz Day Trip from Marmaris?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Fethiye Saklikent and Oludeniz Day Trip from Marmaris suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Fethiye Saklikent and Oludeniz Day Trip from Marmaris?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Marmaris can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Marmaris and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Fethiye Saklikent and Oludeniz Day Trip from Marmaris start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Marmaris within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Marmaris?
+
On Outty we rank every Marmaris experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full-Day Guided Ephesus Tour From Marmaris with Transfers and Lunch, Full Day Turtle Beach Tour With Lake and Mud Baths From Marmaris, From Marmaris: Pamukkale Hot Springs and Ancient City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Marmaris?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Marmaris?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
