Your journey begins with a scenic sail and continues to Cleopatra Island, locally known as Black Island, celebrated for its natural thermal springs and romantic legends. The island’s pristine atmosphere and coastal charm set the tone for a magical visit.

Along the way, we make several leisurely swimming stops in calm bays such as Aquarium Bay, Meteor Bay, Rabbit Bay, and German Bay. Each stop lasts approximately one hour, giving you plenty of time to swim, snorkel, snorkel, or simply float in crystal-clear waters. During the voyage, a freshly prepared lunch is served on board. The menu typically includes grilled chicken, spaghetti, salad, and vegetarian options. Lunch is satisfying and refreshing, enjoyed with panoramic sea views from the deck.

The tour duration is approximately 7 hours, offering a relaxed rhythm of sailing, swimming, dining, and sightseeing. You’ll return to Bodrum in the afternoon, refreshed and enriched by the sea breeze and scenic beauty. An English-speaking guide is on board to ensure your comfort, safety, and enjoyment throughout the journey. They provide local insight, assist with swimming stops, and help keep the day running smoothly.

Our tour is perfect for families, couples or solo travelers seeking both adventure and relaxation. With generous free time at each bay and on the island, you can shape your experience, whether it’s swimming, sunbathing, or exploring.

Really enjoyed the boat trip, we stopped a few times to swim, which was great. There was music playing, and you could buy beer or other drinks if you wanted. Lunch was basic but totally fine. I’d definitely do it again and would recommend it to others.

They took us to some really great places for swimming. We had plenty of time to enjoy each spot properly, and the lunch they served was pretty decent too.

If you're looking for great views and interesting sights, this trip might not be the one for you. We had to take off our sandals and go barefoot on the boat, even when using the toilet, which I found quite unpleasant. The lunch and drinks were really low quality, and the wine serving was tiny, maybe around 120 ml. It might suit people who just want to swim all day from late morning to late afternoon, but it wasn’t for me.
