This trip was the highlight of my holiday to Turkey. It was so relaxing and we went to such incredible places. The water was crystal clear and so lovely to swim in. The lunch provided was tasty and filling. The service we received on the boat was perfect! Cannot recommend this enough!!

Full description

Explore the beautiful coastline on a traditional boat tour from Ölüdeniz, with a buffet lunch onboard during the day. Visit the Blue Cave, Butterfly Valley, Camel Beach, and Soguksu Bay with several stops for swimming.

Start with pickup from your accommodation in Ölüdeniz and board the traditional wooden boat known as a gulet in Fethiye, and set off on your adventure. First, head to the Blue Cave and admire the many vibrant shades of blue in the water.


Next, set sail for the Butterfly Valley, home to a variety of butterfly species, and known for its dramatic cliffs enclosing a sheltered beach. Enjoy some time to explore this gem of the Turkish coastline.

Climb back onboard and set off for Aquarium Bay. During this part of the journey, enjoy a delicious freshly-prepared lunch onboard.


Upon arrival at Aquarium Bay jump in the clear water to swim with a variety of curious fish species. Next, stop by St. Nicholas Island, where it is rumored that Santa Claus likes to spend his summers.

Visit Camel Beach and enjoy some time paddling in the shallow waters. Finally, head to the calm and cold waters of Soguksu Bay to refresh after a day of exploring.

Relax on the return journey back to Fethiye. Then board the minibus to take you back to your accommodation in Ölüdeniz.

Absolutely fantastic, booked with Eric our guide, very thorough in making sure we knew where we were going, including a map as we were making our own way there from the hotel. The boat was fabulous, extremely clean, staff were great, very helpful and made sure you had a good time. Food was excellent ! Really large portions ( my plate went back empty lol). Got off at every stop the boat made to swim, loved it. Would have done it all over again if I had of had more time there. A credit to all involved, a fantastic day out and one to remember ! Thankyou to all who were involved in making this a special day ❤️
