Is swimming mandatory?

No. The tour includes the opportunity to swim at the river-sea confluence, but it's optional. You can stay on the boat or observe from the shore.

Will we definitely see turtles?

Turtle sightings are possible but not guaranteed—they depend on season and water conditions. The river estuary is known habitat, but spotting is never certain.

What's included in the boat lunch?

A multi-course meal is served onboard. Specific menu details and dietary accommodation should be confirmed at booking.

How much free time do we get at the bazaar?

The itinerary includes dedicated free time for shopping and exploration at the Turkish bazaar after the waterfall visit, but exact duration is not specified—confirm with your operator.

Can I book for days other than Monday/Thursday?

Tours operate only on Mondays and Thursdays. These days have limited availability, so early booking is recommended.

Do I need to bring anything specific?

Bring swimwear, towel, sun protection, and cash (Turkish Lira) for bazaar shopping. A waterproof bag for valuables is helpful given the swimming component.
