The experience

The tour starts with morning pickup from your accommodation in or near Alanya, then heads to the harbor where the pirate boat departs. Over the next five hours, you sail along the coastline while the crew provides commentary on the region's history and culture. The route passes Alanya Castle, where the ancient structure rises above the water, and takes you to hidden caves where you can jump from the boat and swim in clear turquoise water. There are several swimming stops built into the day, so you're not just watching the scenery. You're in it.

Lunch is served as an open buffet of traditional Turkish cuisine, with unlimited soft drinks available throughout the trip. The boat's highlight is the foam party and animation show on deck, which happens after you've eaten and swum. The entertainment is built into the pace, not rushed or separate from the day itself.

The boat returns you to your accommodation in or near Alanya by the end of the afternoon. A live guide in English, German or Russian is on board, so you follow the commentary in your own language. The tour suits all fitness levels and works for families with infants, who can sit on an adult's lap.
