Snorkeling in Kemer: Suluada Island with lunch and hotel transfer

Swim twice at Suluada, then eat lunch on the boat before the ride back

A snorkeling trip from Kemer to Suluada Island includes hotel pickup, a boat ride along the Mediterranean coast, two separate swim breaks (one in the south, one in the north where lunch is served), and return transport to your accommodation. The island is known for sightings of Caretta Caretta turtles and dolphins. You can book with or without hotel transfer. If you choose to meet the boat at Adrasan beach instead, the price adjusts accordingly.

The experience

The day starts with pickup from your hotel in Beldibi, Göynük, Kemer or Tekirova, then continues by air-conditioned vehicle to Adrasan beach where the boat waits. Once aboard, you cruise toward Suluada's white sand and clear water: the kind of Mediterranean setting that earns the nickname "Turkish Maldives." The boat makes its first stop on the island's south side, where you swim for about an hour in water that regularly hosts sea turtles and dolphins.

After that first swim, the boat moves to the north side of Suluada for a second swim and lunch. The crew prepares a barbecue meal on the island, and you eat after getting back in the water. Depending on sea conditions, the captain may add one more swim stop on the return journey to Adrasan. The whole outing runs seven to twelve hours, and the day ends with a transfer back to your hotel in Kemer.

A guide speaks English, Russian or Turkish throughout the trip. If you're staying outside the pickup zone or prefer to meet the boat directly, you can book without the hotel transfer and go straight to Adrasan beach. The boat departure and return time stay the same either way. Infants travel free on an adult's lap.

What's the water like for snorkeling at Suluada?

Suluada's water is clear and shallow enough for swimming at multiple stops, with frequent sightings of Caretta Caretta sea turtles and dolphins. The island has sandy beaches and lagoons, and the boat makes two dedicated swim breaks (one in the south and one in the north), so you get time in the water before and after lunch.

Do I need to arrange my own way to the boat, or is pickup included?

Hotel pickup from Beldibi, Göynük, Kemer or Tekirova is included in one booking option and takes you by air-conditioned vehicle to Adrasan beach. If you prefer to meet the boat directly, you can book without transfer and go to Adrasan on your own. The boat departure time is the same either way.

What's included in the lunch on the boat?

Lunch is a barbecue meal served on the boat during the stop at Suluada's north side, after your second swim. Drinks are not included, so bring money if you want to purchase beverages.

How long does the whole trip take?

The snorkeling trip runs seven to twelve hours from pickup (or boat departure) through return to your hotel or Adrasan beach. The duration depends on sea conditions and how long the captain decides to spend at each swim stop.
