“We had an incredible boat trip experience to the Princes Islands. From the very beginning, everything was handled professionally and smoothly. Our guide was waiting for us at the meeting point with transport to take us to another boat without any stress or delay. That level of care and organisation immediately gave us confidence that we were in good hands. The trip itself was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere on board was relaxed and enjoyable with nice music and well stocked bar. Lunch was another highlight. The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavour. The service was excellent — attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the entire experience. Everything felt well…”

Review of the Fethiye Oludeniz boat trip to Butterfly Valley and six islands, with swim stops, lunch, pickup details, costs, and practical tips.
“This boat tour was amazing. Everything was super easy from the booking, payment and getting picked up from our apartment and driven to Oludeniz where the cruise started. The boat was big enough for 80 plus people. It had a great covered section downstairs where you could sit and enjoy the views and tables to eat lunch and a nice upper deck which was partly shaded for those wanting to enjoy the Sun. The staff were amazing, very courteous, helpful and fun. The lunch was delicious. Had a choice of fish or chicken with heaps of side dishes. It was prepared fresh on the day and cooked on a bbq…”
Review of Fethiye’s Blue Lagoon and Butterfly Valley boat trip, with swimming stops, lunch, costs, crowd levels, and practical booking advice.
“The crew really couldn’t do enough for you and was so well organised. But we were 40 mins late setting off. We only got an hour at the Butterfly Island and we paid to do the walk which we were told would take 35 mins there and back. This just couldn’t be done and we had to turn back without reaching the end … very disappointing. Lovely lunch we had the chicken.”

Review of Fethiye’s 12 Islands boat trip, with swimming stops, lunch, practical tips, costs, drawbacks, and booking advice.
“Look the tour and service was good, the boat, facilities and service was good. No complaints. Bit was off to a rough start by the tour company giving us the wrong name of the boat we got on but picked us up after the confusion. The islands were okay nothing out of this world but okay. Anyone looking for a chill day with cold water then perfect. The water of oludeniz was nicer. All in all experience was passable but boat and facilities were still good.”
