What to Expect from the Suluada Sunset Boat Tour

This tour is designed to give you a full day of relaxation and scenic beauty, with a flexible schedule that allows you to start from either your hotel (if you choose the pickup option) or meet directly at Adrasan Bay. The journey involves a fair bit of travel from Antalya, including an uphill drive that’s sometimes without air conditioning, so be prepared for a bus ride that might be warm or a bit bumpy.

Once aboard, the boat sets sail toward the bays around Suluada Island, a quiet and stunning spot known for its clear waters and tranquil atmosphere. Your first stop is at one of the bays where you can swim, lounge on the beach, or simply enjoy the view from the boat. The experience is quite laid-back—you’re encouraged to relax, take photos, and soak in the sea breeze.

The Bays and Swimming Opportunities

The tour visits three bays, with the first being a great spot to watch the sunset if you’re lucky with timing. Many travelers rave about the beauty of these locations, especially Maldives Beach, which is often described as idyllic and peaceful. You’re given about 30 minutes at each stop, which is enough time to swim in the warm Mediterranean waters, grab some sun on the beach, or just unwind onboard.

A common highlight, as one reviewer put it, is the opportunity to swim in “the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea,” which are generally praised as being very inviting. The boat itself is described as lovely, and the onboard toilets are notably clean.

The Meal and Drinks

The tour includes a 3-course dinner, which most reviews find to be quite good. However, some travelers, like Shannon, mention that the description of the meal as a “three-course” might be a bit misleading, as the actual meal is simpler, and the soft drinks are not unlimited—most only get one small drink with lunch.

Despite the mixed reviews on the drinks, the food is generally considered tasty, and there is an opportunity to purchase additional food and beverages if desired. Soft drinks are available for purchase, but not in unlimited quantities, which was a disappointment for some.

Sunset and Final Stop

The highlight for many is the sunset at Sunset Beach, where the sky often turns into a canvas of orange and pink hues. Watching the sun dip below the horizon here makes for a truly memorable moment, and many guests find this to be the perfect end to their day on the water.

The boat then returns to Adrasan Bay, and if you opted for the hotel pickup, your driver will take you back to your accommodation.

The Experience and Its Value

While the trip’s price is not detailed here, many find it offers good value considering the scenic stops, the included dinner, and the overall relaxing vibe. The experience is less about luxury and more about enjoying the natural beauty with ease. The boat is described as comfortable, with well-maintained toilets, and the good vibes onboard contribute to a memorable day.

One of the biggest selling points is how easy it is to relax and enjoy the landscape without feeling rushed. The stops are well spaced, and the opportunity to swim and sunbathe is a real plus. The sunset view, in particular, is often highlighted as a must-see moment.

Considerations and Potential Downsides

The long transfer from Antalya might be a challenge for some travelers, especially those who dislike long bus rides or are pressed for time. The uphill road to Adrasan Bay can be warm and without air conditioning, which might be uncomfortable after a long day.

The discrepancy about unlimited soft drinks and the meal size can be a letdown for some, so manage expectations accordingly. It’s worth bringing extra water or drinks if you’re particularly thirsty, and perhaps snacks if you want something more substantial.

Music plays on the boat throughout the day, which can be lively and fun, but if you’re seeking total peace and quiet, it might not be ideal.

Who Is This Tour Best Suited For?

This is a relaxed, scenic day trip that suits travelers who enjoy being on the water, relaxing in the sun, and appreciating natural beauty without the need for high-end luxury. It’s ideal if you’re looking for a straightforward, enjoyable outing with opportunities to swim, take photos, and watch a sunset.

Those interested in good food and drinks should be aware that they might want to bring some extras, as the included options are limited. It’s also a good choice for travelers who don’t mind a longer transfer in exchange for picturesque surroundings and a peaceful ambiance.

It’s not specifically targeted at families with very young children, but older kids and teenagers who enjoy swimming and boat rides could find this a fun day out. If you’re after a more active or adventure-focused experience, you might prefer other options.
