The experience

The boat leaves from Fethiye port in the morning, either after pickup from your hotel or when you meet the crew at the dock. Red Island, the first major stop, is known for its red stones and the rabbits that live there. Bring a camera for the wildlife and the striking rock formations. You'll have time to swim in the bay and explore the shoreline on foot if you want to stay dry.

Yassica Island and Göcek Island follow, each offering the same setup: the boat anchors in a bay with turquoise water, and you choose how to spend the break. Swim, snorkel, sunbathe, or walk around the island. A 30-minute photo stop midday gives you time to shoot the towering rocks and the water without the pressure to move. Lunch (chicken or fish, pasta and salad) arrives onboard, along with soft drinks to keep you cool through the afternoon heat.

The crew speaks English and handles the route and timing. You handle the rest. The boat returns to Fethiye port in the afternoon, and if you booked hotel transfer, you're dropped at your door. The whole day runs 6 to 7 hours from pickup to return.

Top questions

Yes. Ticket types: Child (4 to 11 years); Infant (under 4): free.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What is Red Island like, and why do people photograph it so much?

Red Island is one of Fethiye's most famous bays, named for its striking red stones and known for the rabbits that live there. The combination of the colored rock formations and the natural wildlife makes it a popular spot for photos and swimming.

Can I snorkel on this boat trip, or just swim?

Both. The boat anchors at bays where you can swim in the water, and snorkeling is one of the activities you can do during the breaks at Yassica Island and Göcek Island. You choose what to do at each stop.

Is lunch included, and what if I have dietary preferences?

Lunch is included and consists of chicken or fish, pasta, and salad. Soft drinks come with it. If you have specific dietary needs beyond those options, check with the operator when you book.

Do I need to arrange my own way to the boat, or is pickup from my hotel included?

Pickup from your hotel is available as one of the purchase options at checkout. If you choose not to book pickup, you can meet the boat at the port in central Fethiye instead.

How much time do I actually spend swimming and snorkeling versus traveling between islands?

The boat anchors at three main islands (Red Island, Yassica Island, and Göcek Island) giving you breaks to swim and explore at each one. There's also a 30-minute photo stop. The full day is 6 to 7 hours, so most of it is spent at the islands rather than in transit.
