Spend about 6.5 hours aboard a comfortable boat from Halikarnas Harbor, visiting Red Bay, Orak Island, German Bay, and Rabbit Bay. Swim, snorkel, sunbathe, and eat a freshly prepared lunch on board.

You may spot dolphins near Dolphin Island, but sightings are never assured. English and Turkish hosts are available, and Eric may assist with arrangements.
“The boat trip was good, although it does feel a little long. There weren’t enough places to sit on the boat as we arrived late due to waiting for people at another hotel and had to lay on the top deck which had limited covering from the sun. Overall good experience, got a little hot with no shade at times. Good fun for the kids, nice places to swim out around the island, and in the river. The free drinks were small plastic cups and basically if you didn’t want to have to keep going downstairs to the bar you’re better off paying for a bottle of water. Kids enjoyed…”
You’ll spend a full day aboard a sailboat from Side, cruising the Manavgat River, Manavgat Bosphorus, Dolphin Island, and Karaburun Bay. Swim several times, enjoy grilled chicken with rice and salad, and join the foam party near the end. English and German guidance is available, with hotel pickup across Side and nearby resort areas.
