WORSE BOAT TRIP IN TURKEY !!!
WASTE OF MONEY !!!!! Booked on the mariner in side and was told best day to go was Friday as the weather was perfect 90% chance of seeing dolphins and turtles. (Didn’t even see a fish) . Pick up was on time no problem with that, got to the boat absolutely rammed all packed in like sardines, set sail at 10am and it followed the coast for 2 hrs towards Alanya. Me and my daughter fell asleep we got that bored ! The staff on board was not really interested or interacting with people just trying to sell you beer or drinks 3 euro for a can of sprite or 5 euro for a small bottle of effes, they walk round with a slushy drink and Ice cream (cornettos) I picked one off the tray and he said extra money. We where told all soft drinks are free when booking but once on board the soft drink that was free was in a small plastic cup and if you wanted a water you where pointed to a dispenser like you get in your work place. We finally got to dolphin island it’s just an extended rock off the coast of a resort about 100/200 metres off shore it’s not an island at all. I even spoke to the wife and said shall we just get to shore and get a taxi back, but we was told we had 3 stops so give it the benefit of the doubt (wish I didn’t) after about 2 hours there we finally left and just followed the shoreline back. Our next stop was on the river with a run down beach area and a little shack where they try sell you jet ski ect. We got off and ordered some fries for the daughter waited 10 mins and the lady there said sit down I will bring to you 1 hr later still no fries as we was getting back in the boat as we was Quing up to get back on we saw the fries with the boat team eating them. Couldn’t wait to get back and get off it they even had the cheek to have a lad stood with a tip box as we was getting off . Best part of that trip was the transfer driver he was dancing and having a laugh with the passengers. All just a money making scam. We have done many boat tours in turkey in the past and non as bad as this save your money, the boat we was on was called sea world vip (other boats may offer better experiences but this one is just a money making scheme) .

A long weary day
Alcohol prices were astronomical. Food ok. Entertainment was good. Length of tour in my opinion was too long & many bored faces were present. . 😔
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the food and entertainment. We’re sorry to hear that the tour felt too long for you. We truly appreciate your comments and will take them into consideration to improve our guests’ experience. We hope to welcome you again in the future.

Good day out for the money ‘
This boat trip was good value for money but is more geared towards younger children . It is very loud and yes the soft drinks are free but the cups are tiny , it was also annoying where staff kept trying to sell you other drinks which were far too expensive ! Staff could be friendlier , the lady host was good but the bar staff weren’t great . Lunch was very nice , and the stop off at the beach was good , jet skis a lot cheaper here than at the hotel just take cash as we were charged €40 instead of €35 as we didn’t have cash . Overall a great day out for the money ☀️
Response from the operator: Thank you for your valuable feedback! 😊 We’re glad you enjoyed the lunch and beach stop. We’ll share your comments with our team and continue working to improve our service. We hope to welcome you again soon!

Great experience with the family (2 adults / 1 child - 4 years)
- Special highlight were the dolphins and the parrot - Pickup worked great - Food was very delicious (rice / chicken / salad) - Duration: 6h - extra costs, of course there are certain extra costs such as Ice/alcoholic drinks or the pictures with the parrot. But I think this is part of it and especially considering that we would have paid about 110 € more for the same trip in the hotel! Can definitely be recommended!
Response from the operator: Vielen lieben Dank für Ihr tolles Feedback! 🐬🐦 Es freut uns sehr, dass Ihnen die Delfine und der Papagei so gut gefallen haben und alles – von der Abholung bis zum Essen – reibungslos verlaufen ist. Ja, einige Extras wie Getränke oder Fotos gehören einfach zum Erlebnis dazu – und schön zu hören, dass Sie unser Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis so positiv sehen! Wir würden uns freuen, Sie bald wieder bei einer unserer Touren begrüßen zu dürfen!

Overall okay for the price
Missed the soft drinks as a zero variant and the second stop at the manavgat river was only there to pull the tourists' money out of their pockets but overall okay
Response from the operator: Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Es tut uns leid zu hören, dass Sie mit einigen Punkten der Tour nicht ganz zufrieden waren. Wir möchten klarstellen, dass Softdrinks bei der Zero-Variante nicht enthalten sind und der Halt am Manavgat-Fluss als Teil des Programms geplant ist – Gäste können dort frei entscheiden, ob sie etwas kaufen möchten oder einfach die Umgebung genießen. Trotzdem freuen wir uns, dass Ihnen die Tour insgesamt gefallen hat, und hoffen, Sie bald wieder bei begrüßen zu dürfen!

Side Boat Tour with Foam Party, Lunch and Free Soft Drinks: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Side.
How much does Side Boat Tour with Foam Party, Lunch and Free Soft Drinks cost?
+
Prices start at $20 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 Side Boat Tour with Foam Party, Lunch and Free Soft Drinks 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 Side Boat Tour with Foam Party, Lunch and Free Soft Drinks worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 13 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 Side Boat Tour with Foam Party, Lunch and Free Soft Drinks?
+
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 Side Boat Tour with Foam Party, Lunch and Free Soft Drinks 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 Side Boat Tour with Foam Party, Lunch and Free Soft Drinks?
+
Around 5 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 Side Boat Tour with Foam Party, Lunch and Free Soft Drinks 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.
