What to expect

All aboard this Manavgat river cruise for a family-friendly day out on the waves. Pirate-themed games, swimming and the chance to get up close to the Apollo Temple – both kids and grown-ups are in for an action-packed day. Isra, one of our expert local guides, says, “there's something for the whole family on this cruise – kids will love the pirate-themed activities, and the adults have time to relax and enjoy the views of the Apollo Temple ruins from the deck of the ship.”

The fun begins the moment you step on the boat. All dark wood and sturdy sails, it's every bit the authentic pirate ship. Accompanied by a crew of Jack Sparrow-style sailors, we'll cast off down the River Manavgat. The kids will be busy learning pirate language and having their faces painted by the entertainment team, while adults can sit back and sip on a refreshing drink from the bar. We'll anchor for a spot of swimming, before tucking into a tasty lunch served on board.

After lunch, the route sees us venturing into the Mediterranean. Here, you'll get to admire the spectacular Apollo Temple ruins, dating back to 150 AD. The temple was dedicated to Apollo, the Greek god of music, poetry, prophecy, and healing – you'll be able to recognise it easily from the ship's deck because of its tall columns. To round the day off, we'll continue to our final swim stop location. Cool off in the fresh waters while the kids have fun hunting for a treasure chest buried on the shore. It's a family day out like no other.

    Super Fahrt für Familien mit jüngeren Kindern. Tolle motivierte Mitarbeiter, die Musik an Board war sehr laut, allerdings saßen wir auch in der Nähe der Box, konnten uns aber nicht mehr umsetzen, da alle Plätze besetzt waren. Bei der 2. Badepause am Strand, wo auch der Schatz gefunden wurde, war direkt ein Wassersportanbieter und die Jet Skis sind mehrere Male in den Schwimmbereich gefahren, kann sehr gefährlich werden mit jüngeren Kindern.

    Hat den Kindern richtig Spaß gemacht. Alles sehr durchdacht und lustig/spannend gemacht. Mitarbeiter alle sehr reundlich. Hätte auch normalerweise 10/10 Punkten gegeben, aber musste aus folgendem Grund Punkte abziehen: Es werden Fotos von den Kindern gemacht. Diese können am Ende dann käuflich erworben werden. Das schönste Bild ist aber nicht einzeln erhältlich wie die anderen "nicht so schönen" Bilder (Preis 5,- €), sondern muss für 20,- € in einem kitschigen Rahmen gekauft werden!

    Sehr schöner Ausflug mit dem Piratenschiff Barbaros! Der Service war gut und die Kinderanimation einfach super – mit viel Engagement und Herz gemacht. Einziger kleiner Minuspunkt: Die Sauberkeit an Bord könnte besser sein. Insgesamt aber ein empfehlenswertes Erlebnis, besonders für Familien.

    Das einzig negative war der Fotograf. Die selbe überteuerte Abzocke wie überall!
