Tour Reviews and Testimonials

We love Volkans 12 Island trip and have done it many times over the past 13 years.
Luxurious, comfortable sailing with heaps of space to spread out and relax.
As with all of Volkans trips this really has that family feel, we have met so many new Dalyan friends on our Adventures.
12 Island hosts a full day at sea, snorkeling, paddleboarding and swimming in crysyal clear waters ❤️
The food on this trip as always is outstanding, locally source and my favourite….cake
I really love how the newly arranged trips sail from Sarsala Bay, hassle free travel straight out the sea.
We can not wait to return this year and get sailing ⛵️

what a wonderful day on our private boat tour. the booking was so easy . we were picked up from our location in Dalyan bang on time.
captain Cemmi and Oguzhan made us so welcome and were amazing hosts nothing was to much trouble . took us to the most beautiful bays for swimming, snorkelling and paddle boarding . set up fishing rods for us to try whilst they prepared to most amazing BBQ lunch. after lunch we went crabbing and caught quite a few
that they then cooked for us to try. wonderful afternoon tea followed . cant recommend Volkans tours enough . will definitely
be booking again on our next trip to Dalyan .
Thank you for a truly unforgettable day out .

Found Volkan and this tour by web searching before we arrived in Dalyan. Excellent booking experience, with some dietary restrictions fully catered for. The tour was fantastic: Volkan and his crew were great hosts, the food was delicious, the wines were varied, good quality and free flowing. Beautiful to watch the sun set and see the stars with a group of friendly people. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

Went on the cheese & wine boat trip yesterday evening. 10 of us on the trip..Amazing . 10 wines to sample plenty of food & Volkans home made port. Wow. Volkan is the perfect host & Captain Jimmy laid on a great spread. What a great night. Would recommend.

OMG – what a wonderful day. Volkan was a delight as were the rest of our group. The day had everything we could of wished for. Lovely scenery. So relaxed & tranquil, exclusive (we had the island and bay to ourselves). Good food, good company – thank you to our other travellers . At the end of the day I would say Volkan is not a guide but a friend as were the group we were with ♥️

The Best Tours in Dalyan
My title says it all. I have been coming to Dalyan for many years now and have experienced several tour companies, discovered Volkan a few years ago and now I wouldn’t book with anyone else! The groups are smaller and therefore more intimate, he takes you to some of the more ‘out of the way’ places as well as the usual sights, and his proud knowledge of the area and its history makes all the trips so interesting.
If you fancy the “12 Island ” boat trip – don’t even think of going with anyone else (I have, in the past, but none are as good as Volkan)
This year I also went to Kalkan and Kas (I forget the name of the trip) – a whole day, unforgettable sights, plenty of swim stops, amazing food and finishing with dinner and dancing! Thank you Volkan!
I cannot recommend too highly – absolutely superb ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We have been using Volkan’s Adventures since the company started up and honestly cant fault them. Communication is spot on, trips are all excellent – the transport, the guides, the food. This year Volkan organised two private trips for me, my husband and our two grandchildren. We all had the best time ever.

The best there is!

Another year and yet more amazing adventures and memories made with Volkan. He really is the best there is – every trip is fun filled, knowledge packed, and feast for the eyes – we did several trips this year and each was spectacular!! If you want to see the best of Turkey around Dalyan, Volkan should be your guide!! Luxurious transport, fantastic traditional food, fantastic company, and memories made – a treat for all the senses!!

Trips with a difference!

Two trips this year, as amazing and different as ever.

Twilight Panoramas & Eastern Aromas was a fabulous evening trip, stunning views and delicious food. Would do again just to experience the ‘Maklube’ lamb/rice dish which was a truly unique taste.
Aegean Treasures was a day trip done in a reverse order to take in the stunning sunset over the sea. Akyaka and the tranquil Azmak river was a delight, followed by a superb boat lunch and then a visit to the interesting and beautiful Sedir Island. Several swim stops included and then the magical experience of witnessing the sun set over the sea.
Would recommend both trips. Only wish we could have done more – next year I hope
Thank you Volcan and team

Wine tasting trip fantastic
What a wonderful experience with some wonderful people.
I booked on the wine tasting river cruise and throughly enjoyed it.
The whole trip was well organised, affordable, and most importantly was a great relaxed vibe with some excellent people.
Honestly, when booking I was expecting some bath-tub wine (it’s unlimited wine) and a general booze cruise rather than a wine tasting. I was (very) pleasantly surprised.
Some excellent wines, with Volkan explaining the cultivation history. Everything was relaxed, you could return to wines you enjoyed and skip wines you don’t. I found the majority of the wines to be excellent, some had surprising depth and flavour comparable to European varieties. There was focus on native grapes which was fantastic, they clearly put a lot of effort into sourcing excellent wine to try.
Additionally, the food cooked by Volkan’s very talented and beautiful wife was an absolute pleasure. You arrive to a mezze spread fit for a king- with fantastic cheeses, meats and some beautiful homemade sauce – they could make a fortune selling some of these on the boat as they were *that* good.
Later you’re treated to more beautiful cooking (rice and stewed meat) – there’s also plenty of time for swimming and a alcohol fueled sing-song and dance on the boat.
It was a fantastic experience, made all the better for sharing it with the wonderful couple that run it.
Everything was relaxed; you want more wine/food.. you have it.. you want more wine history/less? Easy.
I would thoroughly recommend this tour, and can say the wines (and food) are excellent.

Wine tasting on a boat!
Incredible wine tour on a boat! Watching the sun set while swimming in the lake with the bar table floating by us was magical!

Great wine selection with lots of information about the wines and their history.

The home cooked food was amazing, a variety of canapes followed by delicious casseroles, catering for vegan as well as meat dishes.

Incredible setting, Vulcan and the team very knowledgeable and made a great atmosphere – we loved the dancing!

5 stars highly recommend and can’t wait to come again

I had an incredible time on the Dalyan Jeep Safari! The tour was well-organized, and our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The Amber Forest was enchanting, and the swim breaks at Yuvarlakcay River were so refreshing. Lunch was delicious, and I appreciated the effort to accommodate dietary preferences. Asi Bay was serene, and the zip line added an extra thrill to the experience. The views from Radar Mountain were breathtaking, and I got some amazing photos. The water fights were a blast, and it was such a fun way to cool off. Overall, it was a fantastic day filled with adventure and beautiful scenery. Highly recommend!

The “In The Footsteps of Cleopatra: Akyaka, Sedir Island, Cleopatra Beach, and Çamlıköy Adventure” was an absolute dream come true! From the moment we were picked up, the journey was filled with excitement and anticipation. Sedir Island and Cleopatra Beach were breathtaking, with the ancient city of Kedrai and the legendary sands of Cleopatra Beach truly captivating. The lunch in Çamlı Village was a culinary delight, offering a taste of authentic local flavors. Exploring the village and discovering unique souvenirs was a lovely way to spend the afternoon. Akyaka was a picturesque town, and the private boat ride along the Azmak River was a highlight of the tour. I cannot recommend this adventure enough for anyone looking to explore the enchanting destinations of Dalyan!

The Twilight Panoramas & Eastern Aromas tour was an evening to remember! The journey to Candir Village offered breathtaking views of Iztuzu Beach and the Dalyan Delta, providing a unique perspective of this beautiful landscape. Candir Resort Restaurant was a hidden gem, and the Eastern Turkish delicacies served were absolutely delicious. Each dish was expertly prepared, highlighting the flavors and traditions of Adıyaman. As we dined against the backdrop of the sunset, the ambiance was truly magical. This tour exceeded all expectations and provided a perfect blend of stunning vistas and culinary delights. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Dalyan!

My friends and I had an amazing time on the Dalyan Jeep Safari! The Amber Forest was stunning, and learning about the Liquid Amber trees was fascinating. The swim breaks at Yuvarlakcay River were the perfect way to cool off, and the lunch provided was delicious. Asi Bay was incredibly peaceful, and we all had a blast on the zip line across the bay. The views from Radar Mountain were out of this world, and we took some epic selfies up there. The water fights were so much fun, and we laughed the whole way through. Overall, it was an action-packed day filled with adventure and excitement. Can’t recommend it enough!
