Review of Bodrum’s private six-hour gulet cruise, with swimming stops, lunch, snorkeling, paddle boarding, pricing, and practical tips.
“All in all, this was a great excursion. The weather and the port were not good, but that is through no fault of the operator. They communicated with us every step of the way. We were a family of 7 with ages ranging from 18 to 79. We snorkeled in 3 different areas and the crew made us a fantastic lunch with more food than we could eat! The staff was great and everyone had a fantastic time. Due to the weather, only the 3 younger ones went snorkeling but the grandparents sat on the boat, took photos and were just smiles all day.”

“This was a great excursion for the price. It says to arrive 15mins before scheduled time, which for us was 10:30am. We sat on the boat for an hour in the hot sun amd smelling exhaust and cigarette smoke until we actually set sail at 11:15. We would have arrived later if we knew ahead of time people were still arriving at 11:00. Also, the guy who came around with the ice cream after lunch said it was included. It was not. It was good but just know you get a bill at the end if you get the ice cream. Otherwise, this was a really really nice cruise for…”

“This was a private tour at group tour rates. We were picked up at the port and drove about 35 minutes to the village. If you want to experience what life is like in a Turkish rural village and enjoy great food, this tour should not be missed. Our personal guide showed how people still live today in a village of 400 people that has been there for many generations. Walking through the village and visiting in their homes was something you do not want to miss. The lunch was included for the reasonable price and was a selection of 9 different dishes and all were great with two different…”
