Orak Island Cruise from Bodrum – Swim in Turquoise Bays
Description
Spacious & Comfortable Boat Unlike crowded tour boats, we keep our guest capacity limited for maximum comfort. Plenty of sunbeds, shaded areas, and clean facilities ensure you can fully relax and enjoy the day. Exclusive Access to Hidden Bays We take you beyond the standard route. In addition to the stunning Orak Island, we stop at secluded coves like Pabuc Burnu and Rabbit Bay, known for their crystal-clear waters and peaceful atmosphere. Longer Swim Breaks We offer extended stopovers, especially at Orak Island, so you can truly enjoy swimming, snorkeling, and the pristine environment — not just a quick dip like many other tours. Delicious Onboard Lunch Enjoy a freshly prepared lunch served on the boat — with vegetarian options available. All ingredients are local, and the experience feels like a floating picnic in paradise. Laid-Back Atmosphere tour is perfect for those who want a calm, friendly, and non-party atmosphere. We focus on relaxation, nature, and great service

Itinerary
As we set sail, you’ll catch your first glimpse of the iconic Bodrum Castle, rising proudly between the twin bays. You’ll also see it again on our return – a postcard-perfect sight from the water.
Our main and longest stop is Orak Island, famous for its dazzling clear waters and untouched natural surroundings. The bay resembles a giant natural aquarium, making it an ideal spot for swimming and snorkeling. We’ll anchor here for approximately 2 hours, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the sun, sea, and serenity.
After leaving Orak Island, we head toward Pabuc Burnu (meaning “Shoe Nose” in Turkish due to its shape). Surrounded by pine trees and bright blue waters, it’s a peaceful location perfect for a refreshing dip and taking in the coastal scenery.
Our final swimming stop is the charming Rabbit Bay, known for its soft sands, shallow waters, and slightly warmer sea temperature. It’s the perfect spot to relax before we begin our cruise back to Bodrum.
After a full day of swimming, sunbathing, and enjoying the natural beauty of Bodrum’s coast, we’ll head back to the marina around 6:00 PM, passing the castle once more as the sun begins to set.

A very nice trip with a great team. We had several stays with enough time to swim. 🏖️🏊🏻❤️ The island of Orak is very nice but also very crowded. The timing should be revised. It’s not fun and from our perspective it’s dangerous to swim where boats permanently dock and moor😟
Liebe*r Gast, vielen herzlichen Dank für Ihre Bewertung und Ihr ehrliches Feedback. Es freut uns sehr, dass Ihnen der Ausflug und unser Team gefallen haben und Sie die Badepausen genießen konnten. 🏖️🙂 Wir verstehen Ihre Bedenken bezüglich der Situation auf der Insel Orak. Tatsächlich ist diese schöne Insel in der Hochsaison sehr beliebt, was zu einem höheren Bootsverkehr führen kann. Ihre Hinweise zur Sicherheit und Zeitplanung nehmen wir sehr ernst und werden sie bei der weiteren Organisation unserer Touren berücksichtigen. Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich die Zeit genommen haben, uns zu schreiben – nur so können wir uns stetig verbessern. Wir würden uns freuen, Sie bei einem zukünftigen Ausflug wieder an Bord begrüßen zu dürfen! Herzliche Grüße
Great swim locations and entertaining crew. Plenty of room to lay out on the top deck with cushions provided. I did struggle to find the boat as it had a different name to the Viator confirmation.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the beautiful swim spots and had fun with our crew. We’re also glad you found the top deck comfortable for relaxing. We sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding the boat name — this is valuable feedback and we’ll make sure to communicate this more clearly in the future to avoid any inconvenience. We hope to welcome you back on board again soon!
