Antalya: Suluada Island Boat Trip with Lunch & Hotel Pickup Option

1. Overall: The sea is so beautiful, I would love to come back if I have the chance. I was a little disappointed that I mainly swam in the shallow areas between the densely packed boats, but the last sea swim (deep water) was great. 2. Schedule: After pickup, you'll be transferred to Adrasan Port and depart around 10:00 AM. The schedule includes swimming at Suluada Island for an hour starting at 11:00 AM, lunch at 12:00 PM, moving to a cave viewpoint for sightseeing, an hour of swimming and tea time in a shallow area, another transfer, and then the final sea swim before returning to the port. 3. Tips: I had grilled fish for lunch, and it was delicious. There's not much to see in terms of fish, so snorkeling gear isn't necessary. You can change clothes in the restrooms. Be sure to bring aqua shoes (for the pebble beach) and a beach towel. The best views are from the outdoor beds on the first floor, followed by the outdoor area on the second floor, and then the indoor area. Boarding at the port is on a first-come, first-served basis, so if you're unlucky, the best seats may already be taken. It can feel chilly in the outdoor areas after swimming due to the breeze, and you can't avoid cigarette smoke, but the scenery is absolutely stunning. You can also lie down and relax during the journey.

Overall, it was a very nice and highly recommended tour. We not only saw Suluada Island, but also another beach, beautiful rocks, and we made an additional swimming stop. The food also tasted good. In addition, we were picked up extra punctually and brought back on time, everything uncomplicated and without problems. The beach at Suluada Island was very crowded with tourists and boats, so I would recommend coming here outside of the holiday season if possible.

Although this tour departs early in the morning, if you are the first pick-up, you must be prepared to stop at numerous places until everyone is on board, and spend time waiting for people who are not ready. Even so, I recommend this tour for being able to swim in mid-October. I get cold easily, but I wasn't cold at all. It was the best and most unforgettable moment of my five days in Antalya. For lunch, if you choose the fish, you get fried fish similar to yellow croaker, and if you choose the chicken, you get chicken cutlet. Aside from the main course, the food might not suit your taste, so bring plenty of snacks and water. The water is clean, but there are no fish at all. While I love snorkeling, just relaxing on the boat and taking in the beautiful sea was wonderful. The first island is the prettiest, so take lots of photos while you look your best, and you can change and swim when moving to the next spot. There is one restroom on the boat, so if your purpose is swimming, I recommend wearing your swimsuit underneath beforehand (if it's not uncomfortable). The end.

Everything was perfect and great. I bought some snacks at the rest stop before going on the boat. I chose the fish for the meal on the boat because they said it was delicious, and it really was, lol. I really liked all the drop-off points, and I had a great time because the sea was so beautiful, lol. They played some Indian-style EDM on the boat, which I didn't really like... lol.

You'll receive an email the night before your departure after placing your order, informing you to meet at McDonald's. From there, it's about a two-hour ride to the pier where you'll board the boat. It's recommended to wear shorts, as you might get wet getting on and off the boat. Once on board, you'll receive a wristband indicating your choice of chicken or fish for your meal. The trip includes stops at three different spots. You can choose to relax on the boat or swim at each location. The water is deeper at the last stop.

I've been tiring trip from the main town in Antalya. the van was good quality, the seats were comfortable, the unfortunate part is that the driver and several passengers smoke cigarettes all the time on the stops so the smell always surrounding the car as well. the boat is well maintained but then again people smoke everywhere there's no place to hide to get some fresh air the food was very average pretty low quality. the locations and the scenery absolutely amazing beautiful places to swim but over five shifts parked at the same time a lot of people to climb over. is it worth it not sure it seems like an Antalya main city the beaches have the same clear water is not necessary to go that far.

i took this trip on the weekend. we are picked up right in front of the door, then we go to the bay. it tooks around an hour (im staying in Kemer) to the bay. once we arrived, we will directly go to the boat. on there are 4 stops with 3 swimming time. the first stop, we swim until lunch time. the second stop is Suluada. the third one is something like almost cave, there is no swimming time because it was so deep. the last stop is somewhat in the middle of the sea and we can enjoy another swim break. i went with my husband and overall i am really satisfied, it is really cheap compared to what you get. a little tips from me, bring enough snacks and drinks if you like to snacking because it is expensive to buy snack on the boat. other than that, everything is super⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had to wait for quite some time as there were different vans which had to drop other tourists off to the boat. The boat was big and the crew were friendly. They allowed us to choose whether we wanted chicken or fish and the meal was delicious. They also brought us to 2 islands and a diving spot. There were toilets in the boat as well which was convenient for changing.

Very good experience with onboard meals and 3 stops at sea for swimming. A bit of a drive from Antalya.

I was worried because there weren't many reviews, but it was really good. I went with my friends and they all gave it an 8 out of 10. If they asked me to go again, I would definitely go. It was so unique. 🩷
