What is the Dalaman Twelve Islands Cruise?

It's a popular boat trip from the Dalaman area that takes you on a tour of some of the beautiful islands and bays in the Gulf of Fethiye. The cruise typically involves swimming, sunbathing, exploring, and enjoying a relaxing day at sea.

Is the cruise suitable for children?

Yes, most Twelve Islands cruises are family-friendly. Some boats have shallow areas for children to paddle in. However, it's important to keep a close eye on children at all times, especially near the water. Check with the operator if they provide life jackets for children.

Can I snorkel on the cruise?

Yes, snorkelling is a popular activity. Some operators may provide snorkelling gear, but it's a good idea to bring your own if you have it to ensure a good fit and hygiene.

What can I expect to see on the cruise?

Visitors can expect to see beautiful turquoise waters, secluded bays, and beaches, as well as a variety of marine life while snorkelling. Some of the islands also have historical and cultural sites to visit.
