The experience

The boat leaves Ölüdeniz Beach and heads to six carefully chosen coves where you stop to swim and snorkel in clear water. The named stops: Blue Cave, Butterfly Valley, St. Nicholas Island, Aquarium Bay, Cold Water Spring and Camel Beach: are spaced through the day so you're not sitting idle between them. Each cove gets time in the water, time to dry off and time to decide whether to jump back in or stay on deck.

Lunch is prepared and served on board: grilled chicken or fish, pasta, salads and vegetarian options come out when the boat is anchored. The crew handles the cooking and the service, so you're eating without leaving the boat or paying extra at a restaurant on shore. Drinks are available for purchase if you want something beyond what's served with the meal.

Seven hours on the water means you're not rushing between stops or cutting the swimming short. The tour suits all ages and fitness levels, and the boat is wheelchair accessible. Infants can ride in a pram or stroller, and specialized infant seats are available if you need one. A professional captain and crew run the boat, and insurance is included in the price.
