Turkiye · MARMARIS TOURS
Marmaris is a harbour town first, so most of the best days start on a deck. The 15 below cover the bay cruises, the Dalyan run to the turtle beach and the jeep days in the pine hills, with prices and what lunch actually means on each.
Spend six hours aboard the Memories boat from Marmaris, stopping at Aquarium Bay, Phosphorous Cave, Green Sea, and Turunc. You can swim, use life jackets or pool noodles, eat chicken, pasta, and salad, and choose unlimited soft drinks or alcoholic drinks. Eric handles bookings, while Murad may be behind the bar.
“Bear value for money, such a beautiful area, highly recommend!”
Spend about six hours cruising Marmaris bays with an English-speaking crew, three planned swim stops, a BBQ chicken lunch, unlimited soft drinks, and time in Turunc. The $22 price is strong value, but this is a busy, older boat trip rather than a luxury cruise. Alcohol and extra food cost more.
“We had such an amazing day on our boat trip. We had collection from our hotel at an extra cost. There were loungers for everyone but we chose to sit on a bench at the front of the boat which was amazing. We were able to swim in the sea three times and could jump off the boat if we wanted to which was lots of fun. The little stop in the town was lovely, enough time for a wander, a drink and chance to do a bit of shopping. I took my goggles and could see some little fish in the water, the water was so clean and clear!The…”
Travel from Marmaris to Dalyan for purpose-built mud pools, a simple local lunch, a river cruise past cliff tombs, and a swim at Turtle Beach. English-speaking guides such as Berat, Sonny, and Dimitri have led departures. The 10 to 11-hour day offers good value, but expect a long coach ride and limited time at each stop.
“Long day out but totally worth it when seeing the turtles. 1.5 hour journey to man made mud baths. Not so much baths but high bowls that you grab mud from. Not thermal baths either, just cold mineral water. Food was quite nice considering it was served through a lean to adjacent to the mud baths. Trip down river was beautiful and calm. Our guide dimitri was full of information about the tombs (kept switching from Russian to English) if you get a chance to taste the fresh pomegranate juice it’s lovely. 100TL for a bottle. Journey is about 40 minutes before coming to turtle bay and we were lucky…”
Ride in a convoy of maintained jeeps through Marmaris pine forests, muddy tracks, and mountain roads. Guide Rambo and drivers such as Tango keep the day lively, with stops at a waterfall, a village lunch, and Jesus Beach. Bring swimwear, spare clothes, and a waterproof bag, since the water-gun fight is optional to buy but hard to avoid.
“Very fun! The guides were so lively and the events were amazing for the fun! Would go again!”
Spend 6 to 7 hours in a 4x4 jeep outside Marmaris, racing along rough mountain tracks, firing water guns, swimming at Turgut Waterfall, eating Turkish-style lunch, and walking into the sea at Jesus Beach. Hotel pickup, guiding, lunch, and entrance fees are included. Bring towels, dry clothes, water, and cash for extras.
“Have been waiting for more than half an hour and no one turned up, would not recommend. Would book direct”
Spend about two hours at a Marmaris hamam with hotel pickup and return transport. You will change behind a locker, sweat in the sauna, wash at marble basins, then receive a body scrub, foam massage, and oil massage. English and Russian support is available, with optional facials, foot treatments, and longer massages sold on site.
“Enjoyable experience, very clean and relaxing environment and the facial and reflexology extras were very enjoyable!”
Drive a two-person buggy through Marmaris-area forests, riverbeds, mud, dust, foam, and water-fight sections. A safety briefing and practice ride come first, with guides nearby throughout the roughly one-hour driving circuit. Hotel pickup, equipment, insurance, showers, and return transport are included. Bring old clothes, sturdy shoes, and a change of clothes.
“This was brilliant we had the time of our lives. As someone said before it's ran like a military operation so no accidents and we all stay on route. My advice is to buy a face covering before you go or pay £6 there for one but there's loads of choice. We got ours from a market for about £4. They do take a lot of photos and theyre expensive to buy yes it's alot of photos you get but chances are you'll only like a few of them. Food and drinks there are v expensive I'd advise taking your own. You can pay £1 for a locker when there…”
Leave Marmaris at 7:00 am for Ölüdeniz, Fethiye, and Saklikent Gorge. You get about two hours at the Blue Lagoon, lunch at a local restaurant, and guided canyon time. Breakfast, lunch, entrance fees, and hotel transfers are included. Expect a full 11 to 12 hours, with much of the day spent on the road.
“Althought the booking did not include hotel pickup and drop off. The tour company arranged pick up from our hotel for free. The drop off was not as good but I think the driver may not have known where the hotel was. However, we were dropped off a 5 minute walk from the hotel. The tour was great the food prided was sufficient but it is a long day. Well organised and as long as you can tell the time it was easy enough to be in the right place and at the right time at each stage of the tour. Highly recommend but I would also recommend the chicken…”
Spend about six hours aboard the Barakuda boat from Marmaris, learning basic scuba skills before two guided underwater sessions. Engin and his team work especially well with first-timers, while certified participants can go deeper within their qualifications. Lunch, equipment, instruction, insurance, and hotel transfers are included.
“Guides were patient and were really good at reassuring if you weren’t a strong swimmer. Supported you throughout both dives continually”
You begin with sauna time, then move into the hamam for a body scrub, foam wash, full rinse, and oil massage. Towels, sandals, soap, shampoo, hotel pickup, and return transport are included. The $25 price is attractive, but confirm the pickup time and ask about extra treatments before you begin.
“Collection was 20 minutes late with a poor quality minibus, the baths themselves felt like you were being herded around like cattle, however the treatments themselves (I paid extra for more treatments) were very nice. Collection was a disaster. First I was approached and shouted at “we go now”, I had been waiting a considerable time without any communication and then the minibus didn’t have enough seats for all the passengers. I kept being told 2 in the front but refused to be parted from my children because I wasn’t sure if they would be travelling with me. In the end we departed with people standing. Overall I wouldn’t recommend…”
Travel 20 minutes from Marmaris to a countryside ranch, meet calm, well-trained horses, and ride with English-speaking guides through forests, meadows, and riverbeds. Beginners are welcome, and guides such as Eric help with pickup details. A professional photographer takes optional photos and videos, while your hotel transfer is included.
“A fantastic experience. The whole family enjoyed it. Definitely would recommend. Using this app was so handy. Would definitely use again.”
Join an English-speaking guide and driver for an eight-hour open-top jeep safari from Marmaris or İçmeler. Expect mountain views, pine forests, Turgut Waterfall, Jesus Beach, a Turkish village lunch, and a lively water fight. Guides have included Kevin, Orhan, Vedat, and Rambo. Bring dry clothes, cash, and protection for valuables.
“Who take us jeep safari very nice person.he what's up so many time and he cared.”
Spend a full day aboard a spacious glass-bottom semi-submarine from central Marmaris. Watch fish and a sunken boat through underwater windows, swim at Aquarium, Kadirga, Green Sea, and Paradise Island bays, and eat lunch on board. English and Russian audio guides are included, with air-conditioned indoor areas, sunbeds, changing cabins, and toilets.
“Relaxing, fun and enjoyable. Lunch was great, and the staff were very helpful. Wife had a great time. Would recommend!”
Leave Marmaris at 9:30 a.m. for Akyaka’s Lover’s Road, a rock-cut royal tomb, and a one-hour Azmak River cruise. After free time, continue to Yuvarlak Cay for lunch and riverside relaxation, with swimming possible. Hotel pickup, guide, transport, entrance fees, insurance, and lunch are included.
“Great day out, long drive but definitely worth it. Breakfast was basic but enough and plenty of choice for lunch. Knowledgeable guide and great driver. Highly recommend”
Ride a quad through Marmaris pine forests for about two hours, crossing muddy slopes, dusty tracks, streams, and obstacles. English- and Russian-speaking guides lead the group, with hotel pickup, equipment, and insurance included. Expect to get soaked and dirty, so bring old clothes, closed shoes, sunglasses, and a change of clothes.
“Great experience , good value for money and amazing staff”
Pick a coast, a ruin, a valley or a bathhouse.
