Tarzan Bay: A Quiet Cove Ringed by Trees
Tarzan Bay is one of the fixed stops on Fethiye's daily boat tour, a quiet cove ringed by dense trees. Its shallow, wave-free water makes it a favourite for a midday swim break.
The greenery around the bay also makes a natural backdrop for photos; you can take in the cove from the boat's shaded areas too.
Aquarium Bay: Snorkelling in Crystal-Clear Water
Aquarium Bay takes its name from the remarkable clarity of its water and is well suited to spotting fish while snorkelling. The snorkel gear included on Reff Boat's daily tour gets particular use at this stop.
Shallow, calm water makes it a safe swimming spot for guests of any age, which is why it's a favourite stop for families with children too.
Red Island: The Last Stop and Its Red Rocks
Red Island is the daily tour's final stop, named for its red-tinted rock formations. That visual contrast makes it one of the most photographed points on the tour.
After the last swimming break at Red Island, the boat heads back to Fethiye Marina, arriving at 5:30 PM.
Other Bays Reachable with Private Rental: Göcek and Beyond
While the daily tour's fixed route is limited to these three bays, private boat rental can also reach bays in the Göcek area: Sarsala Bay (Kapukargın), Yassıca Islands, Hamam Bay (Cleopatra), Şövalye Island, Kille Bay and Tersane Bay are among the most popular choices.
These bays are generally chosen for longer, more personalised routes; each has its own distinct natural feature — Hamam Bay's namesake natural spring, for instance, or Tersane Bay's historic anchorage point.
How Do You Get to These Bays?
Tarzan Bay, Aquarium Bay and Red Island are reached on the daily boat tour, run at fixed times (10:30 AM-5:30 PM) and a fixed 2026 price (2,000 TRY per person). Reaching the other bays in the Göcek area requires a private boat rental.
Both options include swimming and snorkel gear, with a safe journey guaranteed under Captain Şükrü Apiş.
