The experience

The day starts with pickup from your Kas hotel and a run out to Pigeon Island, where the water is clear enough to see the seabed from the deck. You'll snorkel an underwater canyon, then move to Limanagzi Bay and Big Pebble Beach (the most scenic beach in Turkey, according to the operator), where you can swim or stay on deck with coffee and tea. The boat stops at a twelve-island bay and a shipwreck site where the snorkeling is the main event. All equipment is provided, and the pace is yours: spend longer at a stop or skip it and head somewhere else.

Lunch is a full Turkish meal cooked aboard, with vegetarian options available if you request them at booking. Bottled water and snacks come throughout the day. The boat itself is a traditional wooden gulet, which means it moves slowly and sits low in the water: good for getting in and out, and for watching the coastline without the noise and speed of a speedboat. Eight hours is long enough to feel unhurried, short enough to finish before the heat peaks.

This is a private tour, so the guide and the boat are yours alone. The guide speaks English and Turkish and can answer questions about what you're seeing underwater or on the islands. Children and infants are welcome. The boat is wheelchair accessible, and all fitness levels can manage the snorkeling and swimming stops. Dietary needs can be arranged ahead of time.

Is this one for you?Book this private tour if you want the boat and guide to yourself for the full eight hours: the pace stays yours, and the stops can shift based on what you want to see. A shared group boat moves faster and follows a fixed schedule. This one waits at a site if the snorkeling is good or skips it if you'd rather move on.

What exactly will I snorkel at on this Kas boat tour?

What's included in the lunch, and can I request vegetarian food?

Lunch is a full Turkish meal cooked aboard. Vegetarian options are available. Let the operator know your dietary needs when you book, and they'll prepare it for you.

Snorkeling equipment is included: mask, fins and snorkel are provided. Bring a towel and sunscreen. Bottled water and snacks are also included throughout the day.

How does pickup work from my Kas hotel?

Pickup is included in the tour price. The operator will arrange collection from your hotel at the start time. Confirm your hotel address and the exact pickup time when you book.
