Icmeler Online Holiday Forum & Reviews - Turkey

Hi all,

Any one been on the jeep safari, .

I didn't really fancy this trip at first, my kids nagged me in to it! I am so glad they did, It was one of the best days of our holiday.

Talk about re-living your childhood, we were all soaked, and filthy (do not wear new or decent clothes as we had to throw practicaly all we wore away!)

I would recomed this trip to any one. we stopped off at a beach side place for lunch wich was lovely, and was included in the price of the trip. Then we relaxed on the beach before visiting the blue fish wich were great by the way !

I can't wait to get back there in May we will deffo be going on this trip again. I just wish May would come quicker!

I totally agree this is one of the best trips to do. I finally convinced my mum to do this trip in May was good but problem being it was me and my mum and 21 Germans who spoke no english! We still had a great time, so managed to convince her to do it again in September, as my brother and his girlfriend were coming while we were there for a week and even told them I'd pay for them to do it I enjoyed it so much. We (me and mum) only two who got soaked that day including bottles of water over my head by one of the drivers! No blue fish that day either

This time we were all english speaking and found out that it was even better than I thought from May we laughed from the moment we were given the choice of having a water gun (didn't have any on the May trip) till we got back to the apartments soaked and extremely happy we done it all again to see how good it should be. We did see the blue fish and they are absolutely gorgeous.

We also bought the dvd and are in hysterics every time we watch it such good memories!

Hope to get mum to do it again in May

Hiya andrea,

We bought the DVD of the day as well, its a good laugh

We were wondering what other trips try. Something that the kids would not be bored with in 5 minutes, any suggestions ?

My older daughter fancied the quad safari, but my son in only 9 so probably too young, may be he can go on one with his dad, I'm not sure.

I've heard there is a horse riding trip as well, the kids like the sound of that too . Debbie

I would recommend the Dalyan trip to the mudbaths the boat ride is brilliant,the quad safari I would check to make sure your insurance covers you I went to book in Altinkum and was told you cannot get insurance for it in Turkey I don't know about Icmeler Online.

The boat trip to the mud baths seemed to go 'on and on' but that is only my opinion However, it was quite different having to cover yourselves in mud, dry off (what a weird feeling) and then wash it all off. Why do we do these things !!!

Great pics,I just love the jeep safari.
I found the boat trip back from the Mud Baths a little to long and the sea was quite rough when we went,but still a very good day out.

I took my 9 year old son fishing for the day last year and he loved it!. We went down to the marina in the bay and went from there. Lunch included and all the bait, rods etc. Between us we caught loads and it only cost abot £10 for the both of us, well worth it.

Sounds good, How did you come across the fishing trip ? Were there many on your boat etc. It's something I would like to try...

We tried the quad safari and had an absolute ball, however the quads are quite hard 2 control and my 15 year old sister had 2 abondon her quad half way through as she took a likeness to driving into the bushes every time we went over a bump.

You should note tho you're not insured on the things and if you damage them you have 2 pay, they also explain at the beginning that if you crash and do not have a uk driving license you can be fined a large amount, not that this stopped any of us, naughty i know! but had an unforgettable experience, just make sure u don't wear any new or decent clothes on this trip too and watch out for the extremley cold shower at the end!

Hi Marks.
My brother in law, who came with us last year, loves to fish and on the third day of our holiday found a shop that sells fishing rods. After that, every morning at about 8ish, he would go and fish from the jetty by the new marina. He got chatting to a guy there who owned a boat and it went from there. There was only me and my son, my brother in law and his son and one other guy and his son. It was an excellent day out, (I, of cause, caught the biggest fish).[/quote]

Thanks for the info neags, I just might head down that way next time we're there and have a mooch around..

I can't wait to go on one !!!!

How long does it last for?

Hi Laurz,

We got picked up from our hotel at about 9am and dropped back off there at about 5.30pm. So it is a full day and a really good laugh!

Im sure you'll enjoy yourself.

Debbie

Woop thanks !
That sounds deadd good
Deffintly get your moneys worth then lol x

Any body else notice that you always get a smartly dressed foreign couple who are not amused, and ask if there is any way back to the resort, when they get to the first stop.

Oh yes remember them well!!!! They were German, and obviously did not want to get wet, so guess what they were constant targets Such fun

Snap only thing being it was me and mum with 21 Germans although we appeared to be the targets from locals as we drove by, and the damn drivers! But not half as much fun as the one we done in September never laughed so much in one day

We did the jeep safari when we were there in 2005,and there was a mother and daughter who were Danish and they were not amused at all at first,but they ended up enjoying it.
