Water sports in Ölüdeniz start here

Ölüdeniz water sports guide

Ölüdeniz is one of the first places that comes to mind for water sports in Turkey — and not just because of that famous turquoise lagoon. The bay in front of Belcekız Beach is wide and sheltered, with wind and waves that are balanced most days. So it's calm enough for first-timers and open enough for adrenaline seekers.

Which water sport suits you?

When choosing, we suggest looking at three things: how many you are, how much adrenaline you want, and whether there are children in the group.

• Scenery and a "first experience": Parasailing. No experience needed, no swimming required, and you can come down dry. Seeing the Ölüdeniz lagoon from above is the best view here.
• Speed and control: Jet ski. The throttle is yours, the route is yours.
• A big group and laughs: Phantom, Mable, Big Mable, Ringo and Banana. These are inflatables towed behind the boat; they differ in capacity and how hard they swing. Big Mable takes up to eight, the favourite of big families and groups.
• Trying a skill: Wakeboard and water ski. Both need you to stand up on the first try — but with an instructor most people stand for at least a few seconds on day one.
• A calm day: Speed boat tour and boat tour. Go cove to cove and see the Ölüdeniz coast from the sea.

What's the difference between Phantom, Mable, Ringo and Banana?

All are inflatables towed on a rope behind the boat; the difference is in seating, capacity and how hard they swing. On the banana you sit in a row like riding a horse — the most classic and family-friendly. Ringo is ring-shaped and spins more. On Mable (also spelled marble) you hold on lying or kneeling; Big Mable is the giant version for up to eight. Phantom is 2–4 people and gives a harder ride. We'll help you pick the right one for your group's age and courage on the beach.

When is the Ölüdeniz water sports season?

The season generally opens in spring and runs until late October. July and August are the busiest; June and September are many guests' favourites for both weather and crowds. Time of day matters too: mornings the sea is usually calmer and clearer, while late afternoon has much nicer light for photos.

Why aren't prices on the site?

Because price varies by season, activity, group size and any add-ons you choose (photo, drone video, combo packages). Rather than show you a wrong figure and correct it later, we prefer to give you the exact, current price directly on WhatsApp or by phone. Drop by our stand on Belcekız Beach and we'll go over it all in person.

How do I get here from Fethiye and around?

There are regular dolmuş (minibus) services from Fethiye centre to Ölüdeniz; the ride is short. If you're staying in Hisarönü or Ovacık, the dolmuşes down to Ölüdeniz drop you at Belcekız Beach within minutes. Coming from Dalaman Airport, transfer via Fethiye is the most common route.
