Boat Trips From Dalyan
Several boats leave the same quay and from the pavement they look almost identical. The difference is the route, how long you sit still and how many other people are aboard.
Dalyan Day Boat Trip
The whole river in one day: tombs, sulphur pools and the long stop at Turtle Beach.

Two hours on flat water while the light goes, and the tombs lit from below on the way home.

Upriver to the lake for the sulphur pools and the grey mud, and back before the afternoon is gone.

Twelve Islands Boat Trip
Deep salt water, real swimming and islands, at the cost of a road transfer at each end.
Trip details
Ekincik Bay and the Blue Cave
Out of the river and along the cliffs: the one Dalyan boat day that is properly at sea.
Trip detailsIf you have one day in Dalyan, the classic day trip is the one; everything else is either a variation on it or a reason to come back.
Shared, private or shuttle
A shared boat takes a fixed route with other passengers and a set of stops that do not move. It is the cheapest way onto the water and, for a first visit, usually the right one.
A private boat is the same river with the timings handed back to you. Groups of six or more often find the price per head lands close to the shared boat anyway.
What every boat has in common
- They leave from the quay in the centre of Dalyan.
- There is shade on deck and a ladder into the water at swim stops.
- The river section is flat: no open sea until you pass the sandbar.
- Cash is worth carrying. Site entry and beach kiosks are not all on card.
