Really enjoyable cruise. The top deck was covered in comfortable lounge beds. The music was not too loud, definitely not a party boat. Being the end of season the cruise was not crowded. Lots of room for everyone, Lunch was lovely and very generous servings. You did have to buy drinks. We made 6 swim stops including the Butterfly Valley and Nicholas Island.

Full description

Drive to Ölüdeniz Harbor and board the 2-deck boat. Enjoy the sun and sea breeze as you pass by the changing coastal landscape. Make your first stop at the Blue Cave where you will have the opportunity to swim in the bright blue waters of the bay and into the cave.

Then, continue sailing to the Butterfly Valley nature reserve. Take another chance to swim in the clear waters here and sunbathe on the beautiful beach. After this, enjoy a short hike through the area and climb up to see the waterfalls. Marvel at the wildflowers and spot colorful butterflies as they fly around you, keeping your eyes peeled for the rare Tiger Butterfly. Then, enjoy a delicious lunch back on the boat.

Finally, continue your adventure as you sail on towards the next attraction, St. Nicholas Island. When you arrive, discover the ancient ruins of the 5th-century churches. Climb to the island's highest point and admire the spectacular views. Make your last stop of the day at the Cold Spring Bay where you can enjoy a refreshing final swim in the freshwater spring which flows into the sea. Return to Ölüdeniz Harbor.

Amazing! Really friendly staff & very baby friendly too. There was never a dull or boring moment, team kept us all entertained. Enough time was given at each destination & help given when getting on and off the boat. Comfortable seating & our photos with the parrot and pirate came out so nice! The food was pretty good too, chicken was cooked fresh on the boat. Very happy with my experience and would definitely recommend!
