Your Kemer to Suluada Itinerary

1. Morning Pick-Up from Kemer

Your adventure begins around 08:00–09:00 AM. A comfortable, air-conditioned bus will pick you up from your hotel for a scenic 1-hour drive toward the charming village of Adrasan, the gateway to Suluada.

2. Setting Sail from Adrasan Harbor

Upon arrival at Adrasan, you’ll board our spacious double-decker boat. As we set sail, enjoy the dramatic views of the towering cliffs and the deep blue Mediterranean Sea. The boat ride to the island takes approximately 45 minutes.

3. Exploring the Bays of Suluada

We will make multiple stops at the island’s most beautiful bays. Depending on the weather, our captain will anchor at:

  • Suluada Main Beach: Perfect for sunbathing and swimming in "Maldivian" blue water.

  • Spring Water Beach: Where you can drink fresh mineral water directly from the island's rocks.

  • Love Cave: A stunning photo stop where the sea meets volcanic formations.

4. Onboard BBQ Lunch

Recharge with a delicious lunch served on the boat. The menu typically includes grilled chicken or fish, spaghetti, fresh seasonal salad, and bread. Vegetarian options are also available upon request.

5. Return to Adrasan & Hacivat Bay

On our way back, we make a final swimming stop at Hacivat Bay (or Akseki Bay), known for its unique rock formations that resemble characters from traditional Turkish shadow plays.

6. Return Transfer to Kemer

After a full day of sun and sea, the boat returns to Adrasan harbor at 16:30. You will be transferred back to your Kemer hotel, arriving around 18:00 with memories of a true paradise.


Essential Tips for the Suluada Boat Trip

  • What to Pack: Bring your swimwear, towel, a hat, and high-factor sunscreen. The white sand reflects a lot of sunlight!

  • Snorkeling Gear: The underwater visibility is incredible. If you have your own snorkel mask, be sure to bring it to see the vibrant marine life and sea turtles (Caretta Carettas).

  • Footwear: Sea shoes are recommended if you plan to walk on the rocky parts of the island.

  • Cash: Drinks (other than tea) and professional photos taken on board are usually extra, so carry some local currency.

Wow, what a day! The Suluada Island Boat Trip was a blast, especially with my family! My kids couldn't get enough of the gorgeous turquoise waters and actually thought we were in the Maldives. The boat crew was super friendly, keeping everyone entertained and happy all day long! Don’t forget to dive into the warm waters and have a swim around the cave - it's something special. Plus, who doesn’t like a tasty BBQ lunch included?! Four stars because I wish the trip lasted longer!

We had such an amazing time on the Suluada Island boat trip! The water was unbelievably clear, and the beaches really do give off those 'Maldives vibes'. Our two kids were mesmerized, especially by the Love Cave. Exploring those magical caves was a real family adventure. Plus, the BBQ on the boat was super tasty! Highly recommended for families looking to chill and have fun on the water. 🌊
