Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is the 4th time I have done the 6 Island Cruise with Carole & Tayfun, first time was around 20 years ago. This has remained an excellent day out every time. Price wise you can't beat it. This time around it was £13 pp, a £1 increase since my last trip in 2019 so you can't grumble at that. You have free pick up from your resort where you are taken to Fethiye to board the boat. There is more than enough seating for everyone, some under cover for those that want it and locations for other to lie and soak up the sun. Your English speaking host for the day will greet you and run you through safety and the itinerary for the day, making stops at at least 6 Islands where you will have the opportunity to swim and dive from the boat. Lunch is provided and is usually a choice of chicken or fish. I would recommend the fish as it is delicious, the lunch really is excellent. There is a bar onboard serving the usual drinks and cocktails, and to be honest this is where they make their money as the cocktails are a little more than you would pay in the local bars.
I fully recommend booking this trip with them. I have always booked in Hisaronu at their store, located about half way down the main street on the right. All that's left to say is enjo!

What a great night efficiently run and all the staff were lovely. Loved the karaoke the DJ played some of the best tunes and what fun we had.
The boat was very clean and there were not too many people on board.
The singer was amazing what a voice and had us all up dancing.
There is no queries with your drinks bill as all orders are listed in front of you.
Second time on this trip and will definitely go again!
Well done 👍 x

We have used Carole and Tayfun many times now over the past 6 or 7 years. just returned back in the UK following our most recent Turkey trip. We had booked a private transfer from dalaman to Hisaronu, it was faultless, guy waiting outside terminal, travelled in a V-class mercedes, loads of room and drinks provided. Great driver, great service.
We also booked 2 full day 12 island cruises on board the Carole Ann, out of Fethiye, again the service was fantastic, both cruiuses were excellent and the food this year wsa better than ever (unable to do outside BBQ - Covid). temp check tto get on board, hand sanitiser on every table, first class service all round.
The little bays we visited were so goo, the water so warm, such a fab time from such a well run provider. Thanks again. Julie and Kevin

We got on the boat at 6.30pm and only had half an hour to see the sunset and half of that time the sun was behind the mountain. The boat then moored up for 5 hours!! I guess they wanted everyone to buy drinks aboard the boat, we couldnt even get off.
There is usually a barbeque on a beach with entertainment but due to covid we had food on the boat which was understandable. The food was okish, a choice of chicken or fish.
The the entertainment......well first of all it was karaoke then a singer who sang the cheesiest songs ever. It was just awful, songs like Macarena, YMCA etc.
and it went on and on and on. We got off the boat at gone mid-night getting back to our hotel at 12.50am! It totally ruined our evening.
The funny thing was when you pay your bar bill you have to go downstairs to an enclosed hot space calling 2 people at a time due to social distancing, but minutes before they had got people doing the conga and oops up side your head where no social distancing is involved so that made no sense what so ever.
i had one Pina colada on the boat and it was the worst one i had in Turkey.
If we had know the boat would be moored up for 5 hours we would never have gone on the trip.
We have done a lot of sunset cruises and this by far was the worst ever .In fact most sunset cruises will turn the engines off so you can appreciate the sunset. On this boat they did'nt even seem bothered about the sunset.
if you want a nice sunset cruise do not book with this company. I am just glad it was not booked for our last night.
I am only giving it one star as i can't give none.

We normally use C&T for our airport transfers and take advantage of their boat trip promotion offer of only £5pp for pick ups to and from the boat. Fantastic value for money.
The airport transfers have always been on time and the vehicles are the right size and in good condition. This time there’s 8 of us.
The Sprinter minibus that picked us up from our hotel at 9.30 for the 12 islands boat trip was nearly new and arrived on time. There were only 18 passengers on board the boat, which gave us plenty of room. We ranged in age from 7 to 70 and we all got off at the 5 island stops for a swim in the sea. Lunch was excellent, fish or chicken. No music piped on board. Gail served us drinks regularly and updated us during the day. Some of us were going to Oludeniz at the end of the day (6pm), instead of heading back to our Calis hotel and Gail arranged for the Hisaronu/Ovacik minibus to drop us off at Hisaronu to get a dolmus. We all thoroughly enjoyed the day and we'll do it again.
Some of the family went home on Saturday and their airport transfer minibus arrived on time, 4 hours before flight departure. We’re confident that ours will be on time too next Saturday.

Airport transfer, dalaman arrival transfer to oludeniz was great, driver waiting, friendly, polite and free water. Free 12 island boat trip also very nice just paying £4pp for transfer/lunch. But return transfer to dalaman a nightmare, I had booked our transfer for 8pm pick-up to arrive at Dalaman 4hrs prior to flight. Driver late, it took multi calls/messages to get driver turn up. With them saying they only pick up 4hrs before flight, when I told them booking was for 8pm and had multiple emails prove that. Driver rude/impolite in every manner, spent entire drive from oludeniz to dalaman never uttering a single word to any of us. For this reason alone will not book Carole Tayfun transfers again

Did this sunset cruise last night. And what a fantastic night we had! Transfer to and from hotel, not crowded so easy to social distance, lovely short cruise before mooring at a perfect spot to watch the sunset. Delicious meal included. Drinks menu given to you at the start with prices, all very reasonable, and you pay at the end. Staff were great, but a special thank you to Emma who worked so hard making sure everyone’s drinks etc were topped up and joining in with the entertainment. Lovely music played followed by karaoke and then THE most amazing female singer! Beautiful powerful voice, and also a great personality and lots of fun, this young lady is well worth getting on the boat for! I recommend this trip 100% and we look forward to doing it again. Thank you for a perfect evening.

My daughter recently used Carole and Tayfun for her wedding. The yacht was lovely, storm at sea which couldn't be helped. Food for £35 per head was the same as I got for free on a £17.50 12 Island boat trip 2 days before - shame on you. Had to dock early and those that left were told they didn't have to pay for their pre 6.30pm drinks, we stayed on board but still had to pay the bill for those on our table that had left. The wedding guest book wasn't put out so no keep sake for my daughter. Really not worth the money at all. Tayfun had no interest in our feedback and stomped off rather than hearing it. Please please do your research when choosing who organises your wedding. The very fact you can't leave a review on their Facebook page is a worry.

Our Holiday is booked for May 2020, we have used this company in the past on holidays. So thought what a brilliant company they were and we'll use them again for our upcoming holiday. Well we booked again for transfers and excursions in December 2019 for our holiday in May 2020. Now due to the Coronavirus our holiday has been cancelled, so as per their terms and conditions as long as we cancel with enough notice and as long as the excursions and transfers haven't been used then a refund will be issued. Now to present day with more than enough notice given for cancellation, they have point blank refused to refund me. After pointing out I have met their own terms and conditions and would like it to be refunded, they have since not bothered replying. So will be contacting my bank for a refund and will not use this company again in the future. Shame really as always praised this company to other travellers when they ask about excursions.

Since coming to Turkey I've always used this company and never once have they let me down. Used them for a taxi return from Dalaman Airport to Hisaronu. No issues. Went on the free 12 island cruise with Gail looking after all the passengers. Lovely lady that works so hard to keep everyone happy. Had 5 stops, lunch, no complaints. Chicken with potatoes, pasta and coleslaw. Drinks are normal pub prices so not ripping you off. Boats not over filled with no music blasting out like some of the other boats.

What is the price per person.? Will it be doing tours in Feb March time? How long does the tour take. What do u see at the 12 Islands? Weather for feb March time ?
Written 8 January 2015
Hi Caramia20.Unlikely that tours will be happening in Feb/ March: they usually start around May. Boat trip usually about 11am - 6pm, plus transfer time. Bay is full of islands: usually stop at 3/4, for about an hour. Mostly swim stops, but can walk round some. I'm not staff: have gone with Carol and Tayfun for many years (though not in last couple of years).
