Asked on June 24th, 2024I'm a little concerned about the cancellation policy. Virtually no changes possible after booking. Is this correct. We Will be coming from Rhodes, Greece. The ferry doesn't arrive until about 6 pm. will we be able to board then, or will we have to come a day earlier.
- Encounters TravelOperator•Written June 2024
On day 1, the Gulet will be available for boarding from 3pm and this night will be spent on board the boat in Fethiye harbour. You can still board the gulet on the 14th once you arrive by ferry from Rhodes. Cancellation policy: Once your booking is confirmed, the non-refundable deposit is retained in the event of you cancelling your booking before 60 days prior to the trip date. Additional cancellation charges apply if you cancel within the 60 days.

Traveler•Written July 2024Do you have paddle boards, snorkelling gear, or other water activities. is it possible to scuba dive or paraglide while on the tour?
- Encounters TravelOperator•Written July 2024
The gulets don't have paddle boards, no. The crew sometimes keeps snorkeling gear that travellers leave behind but those aren't always the best. If you are going to snorkel, then we highly recommend bringing your own masks and fins. Scuba diving, no, but there is a chance to do paragliding in Oludeniz. Ths is priced from €85 per person.

Asked on May 3rd, 2024how do you guarantee departure? Is this is a definite departure? What is the price for a solo? Are there any discounts?
- Encounters TravelOperator•Written May 2024
The departure from the 14th of Sep 2024 to the 21st of Sep 2024 is scheduled to depart. Before we confirm a booking, we would advise on whether the trip still requires further travellers to book before it is guaranteed to depart. The trip price is A$1525.00 per person sharing and the required single supplement when travelling solo is A$1150.00. We aren't currently offering discounts on this trip.

Asked on June 24th, 2023I am looking at the 8 day Fethiye tour and want to make sure this is the right trip for me. I'm not in the party boat age range (and have no interest in a party boat) and will be traveling alone. Is this acceptable? Also, if there is any additional information on this tour please send it my way.
- Encounters TravelOperator•Written June 2023
On these trips, we have travellers or various ages, however, generally the ages are in the 40s and older. If you would kindly let us know the departure date you have in mind, we can check availability and the ages of those who are already confirmed on the trip.

Asked on March 1st, 2022One of the group has a severe nut and sesame / sesame oil allergy and was wondering if the on-board catering would be able to accommodate this. Would need precautions to check ingredients and also avoid any cross-contamination / trace transfer (e.g. from chopping board, bowls, knife, etc.).
- Encounters TravelOperator•Written March 2022
We have checked with the boat operators in Turkey and they have said this will be fine. We will add a detailed note about this when we make your booking with them, and also pass on another message to them just before your departure as an extra reminder. I would also recommend that you speak to the captain upon checking on board and passing the message on personally too. However, I cannot guarantee that exactly the same variety of food and quantity of different dishes will be available for your friend - due to the limited cooking space and kitchen staff on board, and depending on what is being cooked for the rest of the group, they won't necessarily be able to replicate everything separately.
