Join us on the Icmeler Dalyan Boat Tour for a chance to explore Dalyan, one of the precious pieces of world historical heritage. Located just 1 hour away from Marmaris, Dalyan has preserved its virginity from the past to the present, offering a unique experience with its Caretta Caretta turtle beach, Lycian tombs, Reed River (Kaunos), Thermal Springs, and Mud Baths. Dalyan is one of the historical Lycian cities, and legend has it that part of the city has been submerged underwater due to major earthquakes in the past. The reed beds we now explore with reed boats hide an ancient city beneath them.
The Icmeler Dalyan Boat Tour provides an opportunity to explore this natural wonder that has preserved its virginity from the past to the present. A cultural heritage that everyone must visit. Throughout the day, we visit various points of interest, inviting you to spend a perfect day at the turtle beach, Lycian tombs, Reed River, Thermal Springs, and Mud Baths during the Icmeler Dalyan Boat Tour. The Dalyan region is a globally famous location with its mystical atmosphere and natural charm that captivates everyone. Located in a large delta region, the Dalyan region has hosted many civilizations over the ages.
Dalyan town is built around the reed river that starts from Lake Koycegiz and meets the sea at Iztuzu Beach. Access from the town to the beach and the sea is provided by boats through narrow, long water channels. According to belief, an ancient city was once located in the area covered by reeds, which was submerged underwater due to significant earthquakes. The Dalyan tour is a full-day activity, organized from 08:30 to 19:30. Although it is a bit long and tiring, it is widely preferred as it includes many different activities and site visits throughout the day.

Our Dalyan boat tour service starts at 08:30 in the morning with pickups from our offices and the hotels where the participants are staying. Free transfers are provided to the waiting boat at the port. The boat is three stories high; the first floor is a restaurant, the second floor is a cafeteria, and the upper deck has sunbeds.
The journey to Dalyan takes approximately 2 hours, during which we have a half-hour swimming break at Paradise Island. During the boat trip, you can see Snake Island, Ekincik Bay, and, in clear weather, Rhodes Island.
Before reaching Dalyan, we serve lunch on our boat. When we arrive at Dalyan, our boat anchors across from Turtle Beach, and we transfer you to small boats. Our first stop is Iztuzu Beach (Turtle Beach). After approximately 1.5 to 2 hours of break, we take you on a unique adventure in the reed river (Kaunos) with our small boats. While traveling on the river with our boats, you can observe massive rock tombs from a distance, but visiting the rock tombs is not possible as they are built on a slope approximately 100-200 meters high.
Our next stop is the historical mud baths and thermal center. You can spend time in the mud baths for approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. Our guides provide information about the content of the mud baths and mud.
Afterwards, we start the return journey, and during your trip with reed boats, we release blue crabs into the water so that you can see giant turtles. The turtles come to the surface to eat the crabs. The local people in Dalyan barbecue the crabs; if you wish, you can taste the crabs grilled at very affordable prices. Get ready to experience a day you will never forget! At the end of the Marmaris Dalyan tour, we dock at Marmaris port. Our return services drop you off at our offices, your hotel, or the requested location.
