Antalya Pirate Boat Cruise: Düden Waterfalls & Swimming

A full day on the water without building the itinerary yourself

This full-day pirate boat cruise departs from Kundu Harbor in Antalya and sails past the Düden Waterfalls—where fresh water cascades directly into the sea—and the dramatic Falez cliffs, with multiple swimming stops in clear Mediterranean bays. Lunch and soft drinks are included, and a live guide speaks English and German; hotel pickup and drop-off are available as an add-on option at checkout.

The Experience

The boat leaves Kundu Harbor and heads toward the Düden Waterfalls, a sight unique to this stretch of the Turkish Riviera where a river plunges straight into the turquoise water. The route passes the towering Falez cliffs and stops at protected bays where you swim in the Mediterranean—the water is clear enough to see the bottom, and the crew gives you time to float, dive or simply cool off. The wooden pirate ship has a lively atmosphere with music and an entertaining crew, so the five hours move faster than a standard tour boat.

Lunch is served onboard and soft drinks are refilled throughout the day, which means you're not hunting for a restaurant or paying extra at a beach café. The boat accommodates families, couples and solo travelers, and the schedule is fixed—you don't have to coordinate timing with anyone else or decide which stops to skip. If you book the transfer option, pickup happens at your hotel and the driver handles the route to Kundu Harbor, so you arrive rested instead of navigating an unfamiliar road.

Top questions

What exactly is the Düden Waterfalls stop like on this cruise?

The Düden Waterfalls are where a river meets the sea and drops directly into the Mediterranean, creating a rare freshwater cascade into saltwater. The boat passes close enough to see the water plunge, and you get a swimming stop in the bay nearby so you can float in the water where the falls reach the sea.

How many swimming breaks does the pirate boat include?

The itinerary includes multiple swimming breaks at clear bays along the route, though the exact number varies depending on sea conditions and the boat's pace. Each stop gives you time to swim, snorkel or rest on deck.

Is hotel pickup included, or do I meet the boat at the harbor?

You can choose at checkout: the Boat Trip With Meeting Point option means you make your own way to Kundu Harbor, or the Boat Trip With Transfer option includes pickup and drop-off at your hotel in Antalya.

What languages does the guide speak on this cruise?

The live guide speaks English and German throughout the day, so commentary on the Falez cliffs, the waterfalls and the swimming stops is available in both languages.

Does the five-hour duration include travel time to and from the harbor?

The five-hour duration is the cruise itself. If you book the transfer option, add travel time from your hotel to Kundu Harbor and back, which depends on where you're staying in Antalya.
