In addition to the special website prices, when booking online you can be relaxed and assured that the activity / trip is reserved and booked for you on the time and date that suit you most. You also save the hassle of traveling from your place of accommodation to our office to make the bookings.
Are the prices on the website already discounted?
On the website you can see both our office prices (appear in Red with strikethrough line through them) and also our discounted website prices . When you make your booking through our website you will benefit our special discounted prices offered for website orders only.
Please note that the website prices are 10-20% lower than our office prices.
Do you offer special promotions?
Yes we do! Every month we offer special promotion rates on few selected trips. These promotion prices are valid as of the time of order. This means that in case you order an activity when it is offered for a promotion price and then after the price of this activity increases, you will still benefit from the special promotion price which you have paid.
How many days in advance should I book the trips?
There is no one clear answer to this question because the answer very much depends on the activity in which you are interested in and on the period of the year for which you would like to make the booking.
For our most popular activities and trips such as the dolphin’s trips, Ile aux Cerfs trips, walking with lions adventure and many more, we do recommend finalizing the booking enough time in advance during any period during the year. This is of course even more relevant during the peak season, where we are usually fully booked for the majority of the activities, and advance booking is a must!
Do you have an office in Turkey?
We have 5 offices; main office is in Marmaris other branch offices are in Istanbul, Fethiye, Antalya, Kusadasi and Bodrum that are the other two top destinations in Turkey
Who offer our services through our website, local offices, and through large number of agents both in Turkey and around the world (we have agents in more than 20 countries!).
Can I make the booking directly in your office?
Yes you can. You can come to our office and make the booking directly with one of our representatives. With that, in such case you should take into account that any booking will be made according to our office price list and not according to the discounted website rates.
Also, you should take into account that in case you will wait with the booking until your arrival to Turkey, there is an high probability that we will be already fully booked for some of the activities and trips you planned on booking (this is especially relevant for the more popular activities and during the peak season when we are usually fully booked long time in advance for the majority of trips).
Do you also offer Gift Vouchers?
Yes we do! We do offer the option of ordering a gift voucher via our website. Accordingly, you can surprise your friends / partner / family or any other close person visiting Turkey, with an original rewarding gift.
The gift voucher can be for a specific trip which will be chosen by you, or a voucher for a certain amount chosen by you (which can be used by the voucher holder during a later stage for choosing any of the activities we offer).
For not extra charge we can prepare a personalized gift voucher which includes the names of the person receiving the gift, including also a personal greeting and/or even add a photo of your choice.
How can I order a Gift Voucher?
The process for ordering a gift voucher is almost identical to the order process for ordering a regular voucher. The only difference is that as part of the order process you should enter this comment:
“This order is a gift for XXX” (please mention here the name/s of the person/s receiving the voucher).
You can enter this comment on the “Comments” text box just before the payment screen, or send us such this information by email. In the same comments box, you can also enter any greeting you would like us to include as part of the gift voucher.
What should I bring on the day of the trip / activity?
On the day of each trip/activity you should bring the voucher which we have sent you by email following your booking. This voucher is your proof of booking.
The voucher also includes all the relevant details regarding your booking and regarding the activity itself, such as: the departure point, start / end time, activity description, local contact numbers, and also a list of what to bring and not to bring for that activity.
