Discovering the Suluada Sunset Boat Tour

What to Expect & How It Works

This tour kicks off with an optional hotel pickup—if booked, you’ll be collected from your accommodation, making the start seamless. Alternatively, you can meet directly at Adrasan Bay, which some travelers find more convenient if staying nearby. From there, your journey begins with a leisurely cruise across the Mediterranean, where the fresh sea breeze and panoramic views immediately set the tone.

The boat heads toward Suluada Island, a lesser-known gem often called “Turkey’s Maldives” thanks to its crystal-clear waters and pristine beaches. Over the course of the day, you’ll visit three bays, each offering a unique vibe. The first stop is the ideal place to watch the sunset; here, guests can swim, sunbathe, or simply take in the stunning scenery from the boat deck. Comments from travelers like Shannon describe this as “the most beautiful sights I’ve seen in my life,” emphasizing how breathtaking the views are.

The Bays and Swimming Opportunities

After about 30 minutes at the first bay, the tour continues to the second stop, where guests can dive into the warm waters of the Mediterranean. The water temperature is generally inviting, making it a refreshing break from the sun. The boat is equipped with snorkel gear for those interested in exploring beneath the surface, although this isn’t highlighted as a main feature.

Guests appreciate that there’s ample time to relax—either swimming, sunbathing, or staying onboard to enjoy the scenery. The boat itself is praised for being comfortable and clean, with some reviewers mentioning the well-maintained toilets, which is a nice touch on a long day out.

Dining and the Sunset Experience

As the day progresses, you’ll be served a 3-course dinner onboard. The meals are described as tasty, adding to the value of the tour. Soft drinks are reportedly available, but reviews suggest that the “unlimited” aspect might be overstated—most guests only received a single small drink with lunch. Additional drinks can be purchased on the boat if desired, which some travelers found a bit disappointing.

The highlight for many is the visit to Sunset Beach, which offers a breathtaking sunset view. The sky transforms in shades of orange and pink—an incredible moment to capture photos and reflect on your day. Shannon enthusiastically mentions, “the vibes on the boat were immaculate,” citing the good music and sunshine as key factors that made the experience memorable.

Return Journey and Additional Tips

After the sunset, the boat heads back to Adrasan Bay, where your transportation awaits—either your hotel or the meeting point if you chose to meet there. The return trip is a chance to relax and soak in the last views of the coast.

Since it’s a long day, travelers should prepare accordingly. Bring essentials like swimwear, a towel, water shoes, and snorkeling gear. If you want to maximize comfort, arrive early to snag a sunny lounger—reviews note that most loungers are shaded, but a few in the sun are available for the best tan.

Authentic Experiences & Practical Insights

What sets this tour apart is its casual, friendly atmosphere. It’s not a luxury cruise, but that’s part of its charm—small group sizes and approachable guides like the friendly staff from TourSunFun make the experience feel personalized. The tour caters well to those looking for a relaxed day of sun, swimming, and scenic views, rather than a highly structured or upscale activity.

Guests frequently comment on the delicious food; while some express disappointment about the description not matching reality (a ‘three-course meal’ and ‘unlimited drinks’ aren’t quite accurate), they generally agree that the food served is tasty and satisfying after a day in the sun. The soft drinks are available but not unlimited, so if you’re thirsty, be prepared to buy more onboard.

The long duration—up to 12 hours—means you should have plenty of time for multiple swims, photos, and relaxation. But it also means the drive from Antalya involves a scenic but lengthy trip, including an uphill road without air conditioning at times, which might be tiring for some.

Who Will Love This Tour?

If you’re a traveler who loves nature, stunning coastlines, and laid-back adventures, this tour is perfect. It’s especially suitable for those wanting to escape the crowded beaches and experience a quieter side of Turkey’s coastline. Families, couples, or solo travelers seeking a peaceful day with beautiful scenery and good food will find it rewarding.

Final Thoughts: Is It Worth It?

This boat trip offers a refreshing escape into Turkey’s gorgeous bays, with the chance to swim in warm waters and capture unforgettable sunset photos. Its biggest selling points are the spectacular scenery, relaxed vibe, and delicious food—despite some minor discrepancies with the advertised unlimited drinks and three-course meal.

For travelers who appreciate authentic experiences over luxury, this tour provides tremendous value. Keep in mind that the long drive might be tiring, and the soft drinks might not satisfy those craving unlimited refreshment. But overall, it’s a wonderful way to combine adventure, relaxation, and natural beauty in one day.
