Wir hatten eine deutschsprachige Tour gebucht, leider sind wir auf der englischen Tour gelandet. Da wir das meiste trotzdem verstanden haben, war es nicht soooo schlimm. Viel wurde eh nicht gesagt... Die Fotografen sind ja auf allen Touren sehr geschäftstüchtig, was manchmal schon etwas aufdringlich wirkt.

Ich kann die Tour nicht bewerten, weil ich sie wegen einer Lebensmittelvergiftung nicht antreten konnten. Der TUI Kundenservice ist dabei auch keine Hilfe. Ich wollte drei Tage vorher stornieren & habe unzählige Mails an TUI geschickt um mein Geld wieder zu bekommen - keine Reaktion. Danke für gar nichts.

De tour geboekt als mogelijkheid om te snorkelen, maar hoewel er wel gezwommen kon worden was er voor snorkelaars niets te zien. Uiteindelijk is de tour weinig meer dan een vaart van de rivier af (weinig te zien) , een tripje over zee richting oude stad (weinig te zien) en terug. Leuk voor ontspanning maar weinig sightseeing.

The guide was very good, the boat was not great the staff were not attentive and there was no wifi on board, the route was boring and the sea was choppy, the lunch was just served in a canteen school dinner style where a spoonful of food was slapped on your plate, have paid half the price for a boat trip with better service and scenery

Mit 3 Bade Stops ganz schön. Aber es ist halt nur eine Bootstour und nichts besonderes. Das Team auf dem Boot sehr nett und freundlich und darauf Bedacht uns die Reise schön zu machen. Das Essen war hervorragend und reichlich. Zum Glück waren nur gut die Hälfte der Personenzahl auf dem Boot. Platz für 100 Personen und nur 57 anwesend. Mit 100 definitiv zu voll. Preisleistung ok.

Poor guide, minimum information level-All”takes zero talent “ ie- Turns up on time, is presentable, drops off on time. But was more interested in looking after son on trip. Crew were affable but enjoyed smoking and their own company rather than any client facing interaction. Having done “holiday boat experiences “ in Malta, Venice, Lake Garda, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, Sicily, Sardinia , Paris & London can say this was the least enjoyable. 5/10 is a generous score.

Throughly enjoyed this day out, we were collected at 8.50am, and driven to the managvat river where we met the boat, the trip took us along the river to the sea, we went along the coat to side harbour where we had 90 mins swim time, then went back along the coast to where the river meets the sea and had 2hrs there for swim, lunch, you can pay for jet skis. Really enjoyable day out, with food and drink included. Ice creams can be purchased for €4 each which is pricey but still a great day

It was a nice little boat trip ! Not too overcrowded, lots of room to sit or lay down on a sun mat. The stops for swimming where great , but you do need to be good swimmer ! The lunch was absolutely fine a choice of chicken or fish. I would say it’s more suited to adults than children,. We really enjoyed it !

Wij wilden graag een boottocht doen en konden ter plekke alleen maar massale piratenboten vinden. De boot waar we nu mee gingen had plek voor 119 man, maar er waren max 50 mensen aan boord, dus ruimte genoeg. Bovenop een zonne- èn schaduwdoek, waardoor het voor iedereen prima uit te houden was.

Ondanks de naam 'rivier cruise' was ons deze excursie geadviseerd om op zee te gaan snorkelen. Dat hebben we ook gedaan, in een heerlijk warme zee, echter viel de 'onderwaterwereld' in regio Side tegen; alleen maar zand grond en weinig vis. Korom weinig te zien. Ondanks dat wel een leuke dag varen gehad, veel gezwommen van vanaf het bootdek lekker het water ingedoken. De verzorging (eten en drinken was goed) en prima engels sprekende gids.

Alles in allem war es schön, aber das Mittagessen war nicht schön, Salat ohne Dressing, Couscous mag auch nicht jeder, dazu Fisch oder Chicken. War nicht der Hit. Schön war das türkisblaue Wasser und das Bier, Kaffee und Kaltgetränke mit im Preis drin waren. Sehr Schlecht fand ich die letzte 2 Stunden pause im Kanal, die hätte man sich sparen können,viel zu lang, ich bezahlte fürs Boot fahren und nicht für eine 2 Stunden Pause!!! Hat mich sehr müde gemacht und gelangweilt.

It was okay for the money. Wish we had known the second dip in the sea was the last one as we would have made the most of it. Didn’t feel it lived up to the description on the experience overview. Two stops to swim in sea, 30 and 40 minutes. You then dock at the river where you can swim, or walk across the beach to swim there for 1:30. Would have preferred longer in open sea.

I had a fall following a swim stop. I stepped onto the second deck and the water had not been mopped. I slipped onto my back, my head bounced off the deck, I heavily bruised my thumb, have a lump on my elbow which is also bruised and whiplash to my neck. When I woke the next day I was aching all over and my flight home was uncomfortable. I have been checked over by my GP who has confirmed whiplash to my neck, provided pain relief and exercises. The Captain and Rep checked on me 3 times on trip.

2 mal 30 Minuten Badestpp und zusätzlich 3 Stunden Anlegezeit zum Mittagessen und nochmal baden ist zuviel .Das sind insgesamt 4 Stunden für nichts .Man hätte für die verschwendete Zeit weiter ander Küste entlang fahren können. Dann hatten wir verneint als der Fotograf Fotos machen wollte dann hat er trotzdem heimlich gemacht ,das ist Persönlichkeitsverletzung. Wir würden diesen Ausflug nicht mehr machen.

Wir haben den Bootsausflug gewählt um einen Einblick rund um Side zu erhalten. Der Transfer zum Boot war sehr gut und einfach. Auf dem Boot selbst, waren die Kellner sehr freundlich und man hat sich Mühe gegeben aber es wurde nichts erzählt, was zu sehen ist. Der erste Badestop im Mittelmeer war sehr gut aber der 2.auf der Sandbank war reine Touriabzocke. Parfumverkauf, Kamelreiten und Jetski. Auf das Baden konnte man sich nicht konzentrieren und ist wieder aufs Boot geflüchtet.

We had a fantastic day. It was great fir the whole family, grand parents, parents and 2 children if 9 and 11. The swim stops at sea and then lunch on the boat followed by a swim on the beach or river to finish day off were great fun. The Magnavat River is very pretty too. Touran was our guide and was excellent making my birthday treat even more special. Thoroughly recommend this TUI excursion.

... der Bootsausflug an sich war super schön und hat auf jeden Fall Wiederholungsbedarf! Wir waren den ganzen Tag unterwegs (9.00 Uhr-ca. 16.30Uhr) und wir haben uns keine Sekunde gelangweilt. Es gab zwei Haltepunkte, einer davon mitten auf dem Meer, wo man Zeit hatte, schwimmen zu gehen oder die Aussicht zu genießen! Der zweite Haltepunkt war an einem Strand, damit man in der Mittagspause sich nochmal die Beine vertreten oder schwimmen gehen konnte. Mittagessen war sehr lecker & die Mitarbeiter/innen sehr freundlich!

Die Flussfahrt ist öde bis depressiv. Die Landschaft und die Hütten am Fluss sind 3.Welt und von Armut und Schmutz gezeichnet. Die Landschaft ist an dieser Stelle zu gleichförmig und ohne Reize.
Die Fahrt im Meer bis zur Bucht von Side ist schön.
Der Gesamteindruck daher 50/50.
