Tour description

The journey begins as you step aboard a beautiful, comfortable yacht that will take you to Suluada Island. It takes about an hour, and during this time you can enjoy the picturesque views of the Mediterranean Sea that will stay with you for a long time.

Once on the uninhabited island of Suluada, you can fully enjoy your time there, swimming in three bays — and what’s remarkable is that the water color differs in each of them. If you love diving, you can bring a mask with you — while swimming in the island’s bays, you’ll have the chance to explore local grottos.

Of course, you won’t go hungry during your island getaway — right on board the boat you’ll be served lunch with fish, a side dish, and salad, and you’ll also be treated to tea and fresh fruit.

What to do

Swim in Suluada’s three bays — each one has a slightly different shade of water, making every stop feel unique.

If you enjoy snorkeling, bring a mask: while swimming you can explore the island’s local grottos.

Enjoy the Mediterranean views along the way — around one hour at sea each direction, with scenery worth capturing.

1-day itinerary

Hotel pickup and transfer, then boarding (air-conditioned bus transfer).

About one hour cruising across the Mediterranean Sea to Suluada Island with scenic views.

Relaxation time and swimming stops in three bays (different water shades). Optional: bring a mask to explore local grottos.

Lunch on board: fish, side dish, and salad; plus tea and fresh fruit.

2-day idea (optional pacing)

The cruise itself is designed as a full one-day experience (total duration — 12 hours). If you’d like to spread the vibe over two days, keep day one for the Suluada yacht trip (island, three bays, lunch on board, return), and use day two for a relaxed beach day nearby, photo sorting, and extra swimming at your own pace.

Note: the on-yacht program stays the same — Suluada, three bays, lunch on board, and return.
