Snorkeling in Kusadasi: 3 or 5 bays with lunch and hotel pickup
Three turquoise bays or five inside the National Park—both reachable only by boat.
A full-day snorkeling boat tour from Kusadasi on a two-deck pirate-style vessel with swimming stops in three bays (departing Güvercinada) or five bays within the National Park (departing Güzelçamlı Harbor). Both options include lunch, soft drinks, and hotel pickup and drop-off; the National Park route accesses bays unreachable by vehicle. The boat leaves at 9:15 AM and returns at 4:00 PM.

The Experience
The boat departs from either Güvercinada or Güzelçamlı Harbor depending on which option you choose, and hotel pickup happens beforehand based on where you're staying in Kusadasi. The three-bay route works well if you're arriving by cruise ship and need to time your return to the vessel; the five-bay National Park route takes you to swimming spots that have no road access, so the water and the coastline feel more remote. Both boats are the same two-deck pirate-style vessel, and both stop for swimming in crystal-clear bays where you can snorkel, swim or simply float.
Lunch is served on board, along with soft drinks throughout the day. The tour runs about five to six hours total, so you're in the water multiple times rather than making one long stop. The boat returns you to your hotel by the end of the afternoon, which means no separate transport to arrange once the tour ends.
What’s included
- Hotel pickup and drop-off in Kusadasi.
- lunch served on board.
- soft drinks throughout the day.
- swimming stops in three bays (Kusadasi option) or four to five bays (National Park option).

Top questions
Can I book the Kusadasi snorkeling tour if I'm arriving by cruise ship?
Yes—the three-bay option is specifically recommended for cruise passengers because the boat departs at 9:15 AM and returns at 4:00 PM, giving you time to get back to your ship. Book according to your ship's arrival time and final onboard time to make sure you can return comfortably.
What's the difference between the three-bay and five-bay snorkeling tours?
The three-bay tour departs from Güvercinada and visits three bays around Kusadasi. The five-bay National Park tour departs from Güzelçamlı Harbor and stops at four or five bays inside the National Park that are inaccessible by road, so those spots are quieter and less developed. Both include the same lunch, drinks and boat standards.
Is lunch included on the snorkeling boat tour?
Yes—lunch is served on the boat, along with soft drinks throughout the day. Other food and drinks beyond what's stated can be purchased separately.
How does hotel pickup work for the Kusadasi snorkeling tour?
Pickup is included and happens from your Kusadasi hotel before the boat departs. The exact pickup time depends on your hotel's location; the tour office will contact you after your booking to confirm the time and arrange collection from your specific address.
Can I bring infants or small children on the snorkeling tour?
Yes—infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller, and specialized infant seats are available on request. The tour is suitable for all physical fitness levels.
