!New! The OLIVE LOUNGE BOAT !New!

The Olive Lounge is the first and only lounge boat in Dalyan. The boat has had a complete make-over and has been developed into a modern and spacious vessel, creating the ideal place for a relaxing day or evening on the water.

There are daily trips to such famous local landmarks such as Ekinçik Bay and Bakardi Beach, as well as Köyceğiz Lake. All trips are coloured by great food & even better company! The food served is prepared freshly on a daily basis and consists of 6 types of mezzes (starters), barbecued meat or fish, and dessert and fruit platter. Boat tours on the Olive Lounge cost 60 YTL per person.

The Olive Lounge is also the only boat in Dalyan with a fully stocked bar on board and has a rounded drinks menu to accompany you on your day out. What is also unique is the fact that the number of people taken out on the boat is set at 20 even though the boat has a much larger capacity. This allows you to stretch out and have a lie down on the comfy seats without disturbing your neighbour! And for those wanting a more exiting evening out there is also a lively moonlight tour. Rather than the regular evening tour around the lake we spice the evening up with an exiting cocktail menu and some lounge music. Our lower deck is set up with low level coloured lighting for those wanting to mingle and chat, whilst the top deck is used for lounging and watching the stars without the the disturbance of light polution.

As well as the regular daily trips the Olive Lounge can also be hired privately. It's a minimum of 600 YTL private hire for the day plus 60 YTL per head if there is more than ten people (i.e. 12 people 600 + 120 = 720 YTL). Use the form at the bottom of this page to contact us with your requirements and we will get back in contact with you directly.

Dalyan Boat Trip destinations are:

Morning Turtle Watching - From Dalyan the boat winds through the reed beds towards Iztuzu Beach. At one point the boat will cruise into the Çandir Lagoon with its small little boat dock with Lykian carvings in the rock in which candles were placed for sailors gone out to the sea. Many Caretta turtles frolic in the waters of the Çandir Lagoon due to the fact that there is less boat traffic there than near the beach and around the river in Dalyan.

Beach Trips - The boat trip to Iztuzu Beach only takes approximately 30 minutes, winding its way down the channel, through the rustling reeds to the open tip of the beach. Chaise lounges and beach umbrellas for rent are available at the beach, and cold drinks and snacks are available. A Turkish style barbeque will be served on the boat.

Koycegiz Lake Lake Trips - The Sultaniye boat trip takes you to scenic Köyceğiz Lake, located near Dalaman International Airport and within a convenient distance of both Fethiye and Marmaris, but closest to Dalyan, is well known for its natural hot springs and mud baths. The waters of Sultaniye are good for both bathing and drinking. The treatment consists of covering the body with a layer of mud and then soaking in the hot mineral water. You will spend hours at the Sultaniye mud baths, swim in Köyceğiz Lake and enjoy a Turkish Barbeque on the boat.

Dalyan Classic Trips - Go to both Köyceğiz and Iztuzu Beach. The Köyceğiz Lake trip travels across the lake to the town of Köyceğiz. Old Köyceğiz was once a thriving town on the south coast of Turkey until an earthquake destroyed it and covered it with the waters of the present day lake. Award winning Iztuzu Beach is the nesting grounds for the Caretta Turtle and is protected area that can only be visited during the daytime.

Sea Trips - Ekinçik Bay is an excellent place to relax and take a break for swimming and sunbathing. After that you'll go to the underwater caves which is a really interesting place to go snorkeling. You will be awed at the fantastic beauty of these under water caves. You will also be able to enjoy a traditional Turkish barbeque on the beach during this tour as well. With a return to Dalyan at about 5 pm in the afternoon, it makes for a great day in the sun.

Moonlight Trips - When the full moon arises in the sky and the cliffs where the ancient Lykian Kings have been buried in their tombs for thousands of years you will board a boat at the river. The tour starts at about 8 pm at night from the harbour and cruises along the riverbed towards Köyceğiz Lake. A Turkish Barbeque is provided on board and you can swim by the boat or dance and drink through the night to music. The cruise finishes around midnight but that's about the time the nightlife is really getting going in Dalyan.

Köyceğiz Market Trip - Köyceğiz Market boat trip travels on Lake Köyceğiz over the area where half of Old Köyceğiz once was. When you arrive in Köyceğiz there is time to walk to the Pazar and shop with the locals that come here every Monday for the weekly market. A couple of hours later the boat leaves and goes back towards Dalyan with a stop at the Mud Baths and an onboard barbeque lunch before returning to the boat jetty at about 5 pm in the afternoon.
