Blue Cave, Cold Water Bay, Camel Beach and Aquarium Bay complete the usual route. The stops combine swimming with time ashore, rather than visiting six separate islands. At Butterfly Valley the shore visit is a short stop, not a full hiking day; Gemiler offers an uphill walk among ruins for those who choose to land. Boarding is directly from the beach, with a short walk through water that is usually around knee depth. The seabed can be stony, so water shoes and secure footing matter. This boarding arrangement is unsuitable for wheelchair users or significant walking or balance difficulties. The boat usually sails at 10:30 and returns at 17:30; hotel pickup and drop-off add time on either side. Lunch and local hotel transfers are included. Drinks, snacks, snorkelling equipment and the Gemiler entrance fee are separate. Bring swimwear, a towel and sun protection, plus suitable shoes for shore paths. Weather and sea conditions can change the stops. The boat follows the outer coast and does not enter the Blue Lagoon; a lagoon visit needs a separate plan. ## Tour highlights - Butterfly Valley coastal stop - Gemiler Island and swimming bays - Blue Cave when sea conditions allow ## Tour details ### Route and stops 1.
