Things you will do on your gulet cruise areas equally important as the things you will see. Possibilities when it comes to activities on gulets are endless! Like we said earlier 5 weeks before your cruise, you are assigned with a personal assistant and he will advise you on all possibilities but for now here are few examples how you can enjoy on a cruise! You have to be a bit of an adventurist at heart since every single day (unless you wish otherwise) you can explore different locations. You can partake in different activities that don’t have to be super extreme like bungee jumping, but a nice hike or bike ride might be something you would enjoy.
On gulet cruise, you can start your day by jumping in from boat in crystal clear warm sea that will definitely wake you up better than any morning shower you ever took! Early morning hours on gulet are one of the most beautiful moments since there soft mellow waves coloured with a tinge of first red and orange colours of sunshine. After such a good start of the day, you will be able to enjoy tasty breakfast, coffee and tea served by your crew that will be at your service when needed. Later you can relax and chill until Captain leads you to next beautiful destination. During that time you might have swim stops on the way to refreshed up in the blues sea and of course, an appetizing lunch will be served too.
