Its incredibly clear turquoise water makes it one of Cyprus’ best swimming and snorkelling spots.

You’ll have plenty of time to jump from the boat, use the waterslide and cool off in the warm Mediterranean Sea.

Turtle Bay

One of the biggest reasons visitors choose boat trips in Protaras is the chance to swim with turtles.

Although turtles are wild animals and sightings can never be guaranteed, Turtle Bay is one of the island’s best-known locations for seeing them in their natural habitat.

From the sea you’ll discover:
