The Experience
The day starts with pickup from your hotel in Alanya around 9 am, with departure from the harbor at 10 am. You board a boat styled as a pirate ship — a working vessel with showers, a bar and separate male and female toilets — and spend the next six to seven hours on the water. The crew handles entertainment and keeps the group moving between three snorkeling stops: the Bosphorus Cave, Lovers Cave and Maiden Cave, each one offering a chance to swim in the coves and explore the rock formations above and below the surface.
Lunch arrives mid-day: grilled chicken, spaghetti with sauce and local salads, plus unlimited cola, Fanta, Sprite and water for the whole day. The crew is English-speaking (German and Russian also available), so questions about the caves, the route or the marine life get answered as the boat moves. Bring swimwear and sun cream; everything else — transport, food, drinks, the guide — is arranged.
The boat returns to the Alanya harbor around 4:30 pm, and your driver is waiting to take you back to your hotel. Hotel transfer both ways is included in the All Inclusive option; if you arrange your own transport to the pier, the boat-only option costs less.
