Places We Visit

Stunning bays and beaches

The Dragon Ölüdeniz DAY TRIP takes you to five truly beautiful and unforgettable locations — each one completely unique.

Where else can you:

swim in ice-cold springs flowing straight from beneath the mountains,
float at the entrance of a 400-metre-high canyon,
explore ancient Christian ruins dating back to the 5th century AD,
and snorkel in crystal-clear turquoise waters?

And that’s not all…

You get ALL of this — and more — on a pirate-themed party boat, with a live DJ, entertainment, music, foam, and nonstop vibes, all packed into one epic 7-hour boat trip!

Seriously… where else can you do that?!

Where do we stop?

BUTTERFLY VALLEY

A stunning beach only accessible by boat.
We stop here for around 30 minutes.

Relax onboard in the sunshine or head ashore to swim or try rock jumping if you’re feeling adventurous.

Please note: the canyon is currently closed to the public for safety reasons.

COLD WATER BAY

We stop here for lunch, followed by around 30 minutes of swimming.

This is deep water, with easy access via ladders or the option to jump from the back of the boat. As you swim, you’ll feel icy-cold patches mixed with the warm sea — caused by natural freshwater springs flowing from the mountain beneath the water.

For the brave, there’s even a small rock pool where the water is extra cold!

CAMEL BEACH

A small pebble beach with calm, shallow water, making it perfect for younger children to play and splash safely.

The nearby rocks are great for snorkelling, and we stop here for around 45 minutes.

Named after the rock formations — don’t worry, there are no camels here!

ST. NICOLAS ISLAND

A truly fascinating historical stop with breathtaking views.

For a small entrance fee, you can explore ancient Christian ruins dating back to the 5th and 6th centuries, including four churches and a ceremonial corridor. The island is named after Saint Nicolas, who lived and served here as a bishop before his death in the 4th century. For centuries, pilgrims stopped here on their sea journey to the Holy Land.

The ruins sit on a sun-exposed hillside, so good footwear and water are recommended.

Prefer to relax? You can stay onboard, swim, or snorkel nearby. Optional watersports such as inflatable ringos and banana boats are also available, operated by local companies.

We stop here for up to one hour.
