Bodrum Orak Island Boat Cruise with Lunch and Swimming
Embark on an unforgettable 6‑hour boat adventure from Bodrum, visiting Red Bay, Orak Island, German Bay, and Rabbit Bay. Swim, snorkel, relax, enjoy a fresh lunch on board and soak up spectacular coastal scenery.
Overview
Your journey begins at Halikarnas Harbour at 11:00 AM, find a spot to relax on our clean, well‑equipped two‑deck boat and feel the Aegean breeze as we depart. As we glide past Bodrum Castle, admire the view before diving into Red Bay for a short, refreshing swim in crystal‑clear water.
Next, cruise to Orak Island, nestled among olive groves and offering pristine white sands, here you’ll have two hours to swim, snorkel or simply unwind. The serene beauty of the bay invites you to breathe in nature’s calm and capture memorable photos.
Mid‑tOur, tuck into a 3‑course lunch freshly prepared on board, typically featuring grilled chicken, rice or pasta, salad and vegetarian options. After, sip Turkish tea with melon and biscuits as you glide toward German Bay for another chance to snorkel amid vivid sea life and rocky coastline.
Our final stop, Rabbit Bay (Tavşan Burnu), treats you to a peaceful swim spot framed by grey cliffs and azure waters. As the sun begins to soften, relax on deck and take in panoramic views en route back to Bodrum harbour, arriving around early evening with hearts full of Aegean magic.

It was okay, but nothing too exciting. The ad mentioned white sand, but we only saw pebbles and rocks. The tour lasted six hours with stops every 30 minutes, four in total, but it felt a bit rushed. There were so many boats around that the swimming space was really limited. Just as you started to unwind, it was time to move again. Lunch was basic and nothing special. In the end, it felt more like a regular boat ride with a few quick swim breaks.

The trip was okay, but it felt like there were more people onboard than there should’ve been. Also, we weren’t offered any tea, which was a bit disappointing.

Everything went really well and we had plenty of time to enjoy the swim stops. Our boat wasn’t the same one shown in the booking and our names weren’t listed, but since we booked late the night before, they handled it without any issues.

The staff were really kind and welcoming. The boat wasn’t overcrowded, which made it more relaxing, and the food they served was actually quite good.

The four stops were in really beautiful spots, which made the trip enjoyable. It’s just a shame to see plastic and other trash even on an uninhabited island. The food served on board was good.

The places we visited during the Orak Island cruise were stunning, but the staff on the boat seemed uninterested and not very welcoming. Most of the announcements were in Turkish, and when asked, they translated into English quickly and with little effort. The food wasn’t good at all, and the boat itself wasn’t very clean. It was cheap, but I wouldn’t recommend it based on the overall experience.

I had a great time from start to finish. The staff were super friendly and made us feel welcome right away. Lunch was also suitable for vegetarians, which was a nice surprise. The swimming spots along the coast were absolutely beautiful. A really memorable day overall.
