About This Tour
The Classic Marmaris Boat Trip is the original and most beloved daily boat tour along the Turkish Riviera. Step aboard a beautiful traditional wooden gulet and spend a perfect day exploring the stunning turquoise coastline, hidden bays, and iconic landmarks that make this region world-famous.
Your first stop is Paradise Island — a pristine natural gem with crystal-clear shallow waters and a sandy beach perfect for swimming and sunbathing. Next, cruise to the mystical Phosphorus Cave, where sunlight penetrating through the rock creates an otherworldly glowing effect on the water inside.
After a delicious open buffet BBQ lunch served on deck, head to Aquarium Bay for snorkelling among colourful Mediterranean marine life. With 4–5 swimming stops, unlimited soft drinks, and a friendly professional crew, this tour offers unbeatable value and unforgettable memories.

Perfect day on the water! The boat is spacious and comfortable, swimming stops were in beautiful clear bays, and the lunch was surprisingly good. Great value for money at €25.
