The Experience
Suluada Island sits in the Turkish Riviera known as the Turkish Maldives because of its volcanic structure, white sand and water so clear it looks like an aquarium. The boat leaves Adrasan Bay at 9:30am after a 90-minute transfer from your Antalya hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle. From there you stop at Suluada itself, Love Beach, Cennet Bay, Fener Bay and the western beach of the island: each one a swimming and snorkeling break in water that stays deep blue and shallow enough to see the bottom.
Lunch arrives on the boat at 1pm: grilled fish (sea bass or carp), pasta, rice, salad, fruit and tea. The boat returns to Adrasan port by 4:30pm, and you're back at your hotel by 6pm. A live guide travels with the group and narrates the route. Snorkeling equipment is not included, so bring your own or rent it separately before you book. The itinerary can shift depending on weather and sea conditions.

Top questions
What is Suluada Island actually like when you get there?
Suluada Island is an unspoiled volcanic formation covered in forest, with white sand beaches and deep turquoise water. The seabed is visible from the surface because the water is so clear, and the island's freshwater springs feed into the sea, which is why locals call it the Turkish Maldives. It is a newly discovered spot even among residents of Antalya.
How many swimming stops are there during the day?
Four separate swimming and snorkeling breaks are built into the itinerary: Suluada Island itself, the western beach of the island, the spring-water beach on the island, and Hacivat Bay. Love Beach and Cennet Bay are also on the route, so you visit multiple coves and bays across the day.
Do I need to bring my own snorkeling gear?
Snorkeling equipment is not included in this tour, so you will need to bring your own mask, fins and snorkel or arrange rental separately before booking.
What time does the boat leave Adrasan, and when do I get back to my hotel?
The boat departs Adrasan Bay at 9:30am after hotel pickup at 8am from Antalya. The return journey to Adrasan port takes place at 4:30pm, with arrival back at your hotel by 6pm, making this a nine-hour day from start to finish.
Is this tour available on weekends?
Weekday departures only. The operator does not organize this trip on weekends because the sites become too crowded with visitors.
What languages does the guide speak?
The live guide on board speaks English, German, Russian and Polish.
