Suluada Island Boat Trip from Antalya via Adrasan Harbour

Cruising from Adrasan to Suluada

Leave Adrasan and swim off two shores of Suluada

Hotel transfers are available from both Antalya and Belek. The journey to Adrasan is by road, and you board the boat at the pier. Allow around 11 hours for the whole outing, including about five hours at sea. If the driver makes a short stop on the way, you can buy breakfast separately.

From your hotel to Adrasan pier

As the boat leaves Adrasan pier, look back at the hills on either side of the bay and the rocks that slope into the water. Approaching Suluada, the pale shoreline becomes easier to pick out. The deck gives you a clear view of the shape of the island and lets you see how the coastline changes between one bay and the next.

Shorelines, bays and swimming stops

The first swim is usually at Suluada’s north-facing beach, with a second stop along the western shore. The boat then passes the southern caves, which you view from the deck. The final swim is normally in Adrasan Bay. If the western shore is exposed to wind on the day, the captain may choose a more sheltered spot.

The coastline is easiest to photograph as the boat approaches a bay. From the deck, you can follow the line of the cliffs down to the water and see how the colour changes over the shallows.

How to spend the swimming stops

Spend the stops at your own pace. You can also stay on board and watch the coast from the deck. Suluada is uninhabited, so prepare what you need for the trip before boarding.

Your meal on board and the return to Adrasan

Lunch is served on board, with seasonal fruit and the tea service included in the programme. The crew chooses when to serve the meal around the day’s swimming stops. The boat returns to Adrasan after the last part of the cruise. The hotel transfer begins once guests have made their way from the pier to the vehicles.
