Brilliant day out
Absolutely great trip start to finish. So many stops to have a swim. Lunch was fantastic. Guys very welcoming. Would definelty recommend. Only downfall some guy having a go at staff as there was 11 in there group and not enough seats on upper deck. Telling staff 11 bad reviews going on cause they couldn't sit together. Plenty seats downstairs but guy having none of it. Seen he ended up on other pirate boat. Wouldn't have entertained him. Just entitled. So don't listen to negative reviews. These guys go out there way to make it so enjoyable.

Wonderful day out
Last minute booking via an agent in the hotel Reasonably priced - £35 per person (same price for children) Full day out, including transfers, face painting for the kids, games, lunch ( very tasty - chicken, rice and salad), foam party X2 stops for swimming Plenty of seating/sunbeds Very relaxed atmosphere You can go on a guided tour for 2 hours around Side at the end if you want but everyone was so exhausted I don't think anyone took that offer. Highly recommend this day out
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the Pirate Adventure Cruise from Side and appreciated the great value, delicious lunch, and fun activities like the foam party and swimming stops. It’s also lovely to know the kids had a good time with the face painting and games – we always aim to make it a memorable day for the whole family. We completely understand how a full day of fun can leave everyone ready to relax rather than join the optional Side tour at the end! Your kind recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you on board again in the future. Warm regards, The Tourmania Team

Ok if traveling with young children
Picked up on time. Arrived at boat all drinks have to be handed over before getting on and had to wait an hour for others to arrive. Beautiful weather for a boat trip. Stopped at the section of beach area which you must stay in our they shout at you. Each boat has a section of the beach/shops to use a few sunloungers. Jetski and camels available. Then lunch. Chicken, salad, rice and bread a typical but lovely trip lunch. Then sail a bit to sea for a swim stop in clear waters. Back on boat and sail back. 2nd floor gets cramped with foam party and children’s disco. The music played onboard is dull. The trip didn’t really have an atmosphere unlike others we have been on. Ages 11,14,17,41 and 60. We all thought it was boring and aimed at family’s with small children. Drinks all 3euros each. Onboard photographer at the start with his parrot - all extra cost. Arrived back to bus at 3pm to head back.

Good, cheap, not too long
It was a good trip for a little money. Lots of sea and music instead of words, interesting animation for children, delicious food
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us amazing review - it's much appreciated!

Disappointing and boring
To start with, the bus that picked us up was overcrowded, there were more people on the bus than seats, creating danger for all passangers. To be honest, the boat tour was disappointing and boring. We were expecting a big boat with quite a lot of fun as in the pictures from the website, but the boat was quite small and nothing like on the pictures. All drinks, even water bottles, were confiscated by the boat team before boarding, forcing us to buy drinks onboard. The entertainment was very poor, with one of the male crew members dressed as a woman being the highlight of the boat tour. Lack of proper entertainment during the tour made is really lenghty and boring. The staff was very nice, fun and smily though. The foam party, mainly addressed to kids, was stopped right at the beginning as the crew spotted a coast guard passing our boat. The swim breaks were good, but two out of three were on the same pebbled beach, would be better if the last brreak would be in another lagoon. All in all it wasn't a really good experience and definately not worth the money.
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding the Pirate Adventure Cruise. We are glad to hear that you found our staff friendly and welcoming. We sincerely apologize for the aspects of the tour that did not meet your expectations. We regret that the bus was overcrowded, the boat did not match your expectations, and that the entertainment and drink policy impacted your enjoyment. Your comments regarding the foam party, swim stops, and overall experience are valuable, and we will review them carefully to improve the tour for future guests. We appreciate your honest feedback and hope you will consider joining us on another Tourmania experience, where we aim to provide a more enjoyable and memorable trip. Kind regards, Tourmania Team

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Pirate Adventure Cruise incl. Lunch from Side: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Side.
How much does Pirate Adventure Cruise incl. Lunch from Side cost?
+
Prices start at $40 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Side usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Pirate Adventure Cruise incl. Lunch from Side take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Side is not rushed.
Is Pirate Adventure Cruise incl. Lunch from Side worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 98 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Side, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Pirate Adventure Cruise incl. Lunch from Side?
+
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 Pirate Adventure Cruise incl. Lunch from Side suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Pirate Adventure Cruise incl. Lunch from Side?
+
Around 34 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 Side 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 Side and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pirate Adventure Cruise incl. Lunch from Side 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 Side 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 Side?
+
On Outty we rank every Side experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Antalya Quad, Buggy, Rafting & Zipline Tour w/Lunch & Transfer, Green Canyon Jeep and Boat Tour with Lunch, Jeep Safari Adventure around Green Canyon with Boat 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 Side?
+
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 Side?
+
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.
