Antalya Boat Trips & Cruises

✓ Hotel Pickup Included  /  ✓ Group & Private Options  /  ✓ Pay on the Day

This coastline has a lot of water to explore. Boat trips from Antalya cover a wide range — from the transparent turquoise bays around Suluada island to the deep-green inland water of the Green Canyon, from the Düden Waterfall boat trip (watching a 40m waterfall fall into the sea) to foam party pirate cruises out of Kemer. Group tours and private yacht charters both available. Hotel pickup from all main resort areas.

Not sure which trip to pick? The guide below breaks down what each one actually involves.

Boat Trips & Cruises — Which One Is Right for You?

Suluada Boat Tour — Clear Water, No Crowds (if you leave early)

Suluada is a small uninhabited island off the Adrasan coast, south of Kemer. It's commonly called the Turkish Maldives because of its water — a pale turquoise that stays clear because the island has no development and a white pebble seabed. The boat departs from Adrasan harbour (about 90 km southwest of Antalya) and makes several swimming stops around the island.

The key practical note: depart before 09:30 if possible. Later in the morning, shared group tours from Kemer arrive and the main anchor spots become crowded. An early departure gives you the island in relative quiet. Hotel pickup is arranged from all coast resorts, though transfer from Side and Alanya is long.

Green Canyon Antalya — Inland Lake, Mountain Setting

The Green Canyon boat trip is not a coastal excursion — it takes place on the Oymapinar reservoir, a dam lake in the Taurus Mountains northeast of Side. The water is a deep, opaque green from mineral content and the pine-forested canyon walls on every side. The day includes swimming stops in the lake, a barbeque lunch on board, and canyon scenery that looks nothing like the Mediterranean coast below.

This is the right choice if you've already spent time on the sea and want something different — calm, sheltered, dramatic landscape. Particularly popular with guests staying in Side and Manavgat hotels, who have a shorter transfer to the lake area.

Antalya Boat Party — Foam & Pirate Cruise

The Antalya boat party runs from Antalya harbour — a full-day group cruise with music, swimming stops, and a foam party session in the afternoon. The Kemer pirate foam party boat departs from Kemer harbour and covers the bays around the peninsula; if you're staying in Kemer or Beldibi, this saves you the transfer to Antalya. Both run with up to 50–80 passengers and are designed for guests who want a social day on the water rather than a quiet one.

If you're a solo traveller, a couple, or a small group of friends looking for an easy social day, the party boat is the right format. For families, especially with young children, a private charter or the Suluada tour is usually a better fit.

Düden Waterfall Boat Trip (2.5 Hours)

The Düden Waterfall boat trip is a 2.5-hour cruise from Antalya Marina to the Lower Düden Waterfall — a river that drops 40 metres off a coastal cliff directly into the sea. It's the only place on the Mediterranean coast where a waterfall falls directly into open water, and it's only visible from the boat. The tour returns to the marina without additional stops. A good half-day option that doesn't need a full day commitment.

Private Yacht Charter — Your Group Only

All the trips above run on group boats. If you want full privacy — your group, your schedule, your route — a private yacht charter from any marina is the alternative. Departures from Antalya, Kemer, Side, Alanya, Belek, and Suluada/Adrasan. Vessels accommodate 2 to 12 people; price is per boat, not per person. See the yacht rental pages for details on each marina and route.

Boat Trips from Antalya — FAQ

How much do boat trips from Antalya cost? +
Prices start at €29 per person — both the foam party cruise and the Grand Waterfall Boat Tour. The Suluada boat tour is €34. Green Canyon is €45 and includes a barbeque lunch. Private yacht charters start from €250 for the whole boat. All include hotel pickup. No deposit required — you pay on the day.
What is the Suluada boat tour? +
The Suluada boat tour visits a small uninhabited island off the Adrasan coast with transparent turquoise water and a white pebble seabed. The island is undeveloped, which keeps the water clear. Depart before 09:30 to avoid group tour crowds later in the day. Often called the Turkish Maldives.
What is the Green Canyon boat trip? +
The Green Canyon trip takes place on the Oymapinar reservoir — an inland dam lake in the Taurus Mountains. The water is a distinctive deep green colour. The day includes swimming, barbeque lunch, and canyon scenery. A very different experience from coastal boat trips.
What is the difference between a party boat and a private yacht charter? +
Party boats are group tours — you share the boat with up to 80 other guests, with music, foam, and swimming stops. A private yacht charter is your group only (2–12 people), with your own captain, route, and pace. Party boats suit solo travellers or social groups; private charters suit families or anyone wanting privacy.
Which boat trip is best for families with children? +
The Suluada tour is best for families — calm, clear, shallow water around the island. The Green Canyon inland lake is also sheltered. Party boats are not suitable for young children. For full privacy and control over pace, a private yacht charter from any marina is the most family-friendly option.
Are boat trips available from Kemer, Side, and Alanya? +
Hotel pickup is included from Belek, Side, Kemer, Alanya, Lara, and Kundu for most trips. For Suluada, the departure point is Adrasan (south of Kemer), so transfer from Side or Alanya is longer. Contact us to confirm pickup from your hotel.
What is the Düden Waterfall boat tour? +
The Grand Waterfall Boat Tour is a 2.5-hour cruise from Antalya Marina to the Lower Düden Waterfall — a river that drops 40 metres off a cliff directly into the sea. It's a group boat tour and the shortest boat trip available from Antalya.
When do boat trips run? +
Most boat trips run April to October. Suluada is best from May onwards. Green Canyon and coastal cruises run from April. Party boats operate May to October. Private yacht charters are available year-round in suitable weather.
