Turkey · MARMARIS TOURS
Good marmaris tours fill up weeks ahead; the great ones go first. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Marmaris boat trip with hotel pickup, unlimited drinks, BBQ lunch, snorkeling stops, and a Turunç break on the Memories pirate-style boat.
“Amazing trip, plenty of free time, lovely swimming stops, staff where all very friendly and approachable! Great touch with pool noodles and life jackets on request for non-strong swimmers.”
Marmaris boat cruise with hotel pickup, BBQ lunch, unlimited soft drinks, and swim stops at Heaven Island, Aquarium Bay, Turunc.
“It was a bit disappointing as there was only 2 swim stops and a stop at turunc. The trip was not what we expected and then there was a big problem when trying to dock at marmaris at the end. The captain made 3 or 4 attempts to dock, and he hit another boat while trying to dock. This wasted about 1 hour at the end. So it wasn't ideal.”
Dalyan mud baths, a river boat ride, and Turtle Beach sea turtles, all with hotel pickup, lunch, and included entrances from Marmaris.
“The coach trip was longer than expected, but sonni our guide was a great commentator. Telling true g Facts and fun facts. The boat ride was great and sonni took time to show points of interest with great knowledge. Sonni was happy to help by taking people's photos. I lived the mud bath and the doctor fish. I especially liked the turtles at the end as they were so close”
Pamukkale day trip from Marmaris with early hotel pickup, buffet lunch, and 3 hours to explore travertines, Hierapolis, and Cleopatra's pool.
“We had an amazing experience on our Pamukkale excursion, all thanks to our incredible guide, Nur! She was not only friendly and welcoming but also extremely knowledgeable about the history and culture of the area. Nur made the trip fun and engaging for everyone, answering all our questions with patience and enthusiasm. From the beautiful travertines to the ancient city of Hierapolis, everything was well-organized and stress-free. Highly recommended – thank you, Nur, for making our day so special! :)”
Marmaris jeep safari with convoy off-road tracks, water fights, waterfall swim, and a local BBQ lunch, plus hotel transfer for about $23.
“Second time doing this activity. Great day out a must do”
Full-day Dalyan cruise from Marmaris with mud baths, Iztuzu Turtle Beach, Lycian tomb views, and lunch on board. 9 hours, $35.
“I would really recommend this trip. It was a great day out - beautiful scenery and absolutely worth the money!”
Guided Ephesus UNESCO trip from Marmaris with hotel transfers, breakfast, lunch, and a choice in Selcuk. Entrance fees extra.
“Really fab day! A long day but worth it! Ephesus is beautiful absolutely stunning! Kadir was a great tour guide and knew so much information and history which he shared with us as a group. Breakfast and buffet lunch provided which was good. The only issue I had was there was no prior mention of the 700 tl (Turkish lira) fee to enter Ephesus which is a government tax. Whilst I have no problem with there being a tax but prior mention of this would be nice rather than being caught by surprise once booked and on the coach almost at Ephesus. Without paying the 700 TL (per person) you…”
Ride a 4x4 jeep through Marmaris mud, join water fights, then cool off at a waterfall and Jesus Beach, with lunch and transfers included.
“Operator changed the meeting pt at the last minute and we missed the tour. No refund provided. Frustrating”
Marmaris Turkish bath with hotel transfers: hot marble, scrub, foam and oil massages, plus sauna and steam rooms, $24 per person.
“excellent treatments left feeling very refreshed. be prepared for them to sell extras on top. friendly staff couldn't do enough for you. Will definitely be back.”
Cruise Dalyan’s canal, swim at Iztuzu Beach for turtles, visit Kaunos tombs, and soak in Sultaniye mud baths from Marmaris, with pickup and lunch.
“A fantastic trip. Loved the boat trip and the timings were great Turtle beach was great (but busy) The boat crew and guide were excellent but …. The coach driver was driving with one hand using a phone on a coach which had no speedometer and had a STOP sign permanently on his dashboard - and a full length crack up the windscreen. It did feel a little sad for such a poor standard of coach and driving with such a wonderful trip otherwise”
Marmaris buggy safari with water fight, hotel transfers and outdoor showers. Drive muddy tracks and get cleaned up in 3 hours.
“Amazing value for money, kids had the best day ever”
Pamukkale and Hierapolis from Marmaris with early pickup, bus transfers, breakfast and lunch. Swim in thermal pools, see Cleopatra area.
“Breakfast was lovely at a roadside restaurant and enjoyed the thermal pools. Our guide nur was lovely with some added humour.”
Marmaris jeep safari to Turgut Waterfall and Jesus Beach with lunch, off-road views, and water fights. Hotel pickup included.
“It was really nice and the tour guide was amazing! Also, Beyza from Tourmarnia is really nice and lovely & answers questions very quickly. 10/10!”
Sunrise hot-air balloon over Pamukkale and Hierapolis from Marmaris, with breakfast, lunch, transfers, and a flight certificate.
“Very expensive, very early start and a very disappointing balloon flight. The balloon went up, travelled 200 metres and descended within 30 minutes. It did not ravel over or near the sites of Pamukkale, if anything it travelled away. The basket was crowded with 16 adults plus a couple of children. The pilot had only basic english and the final champagne toast was actually a non alcoholic aerated sweet concoction of unknown origin. Do not waste your time with this add-on. The balance of the tour rates a 3+ but the balloon flight is a big negative.”
Horseback through Marmaris pine woods and orange groves, with river crossing, animals, and hotel transfers. Kids welcome, calm guides.
“very friendly, helpful guides. some children were scared to begin with, but were reassured and helped. by the end they were smiling and loving it. beautiful, gentle, peaceful ride. would recommend.”
Pick the day first, then pick who runs it.
