Suluada Island boat trip from Antalya is one of the rising stars among excursions. The magical, azure Suluada, an island of diamond-clear waters, fresh sea breeze and pristine Mediterranean nature, will amaze you. You've probably seen the Turkish 'Maldives' on TikTok videos or TV at least once; now it's your chance to visit it.
Take a tour on a comfortable boat along the Mediterranean coast to and around Suluada Island. Enjoy swimming stops at white sandy beaches and several lagoons of Turkish Maldives.
As you approach the white sands and crystalline waters of Suluada, you will feel like you are approaching your dream island. Suluada beach is similar to tropical beaches. You can surely see that as you take in the beauty of this solitary island in the Mediterranean Sea.
Suluada is a snorkeler's paradise as the waters teem with fish and marine life. Caretta Caretta turtles often accompany the boats. It is common to spot dolphins en route. If the marine animals love this island so much, it is easy to see why and you are sure to have the most relaxing day out!
The rocky formation of the island provides a sharp contrast to the stunning natural beaches as they meet the tepid, still waters of the Mediterranean.
There is an abundance of caves dotted along the island's coast. You will find caves below the surface should you wish to dive deeper. One of the most visited caves runs from the side of one rock to the other, creating an opening ideal for bathing or taking photographs.
Your first swimming break will be in the south of Suluada and will last around 1 hour. Then, you will head off to the island's north and enjoy another swimming break. You will also have lunch there. There is nothing quite like smelling the barbecue as you build up an appetite with a refreshing swim.
After lunch, you will stop at the cave eastern side of the island, where you can swim from one side to the other. You will have around 1 hour to swim, snorkel and take lots of photographs.
On the return journey to Adrasan, the captain may opt to stop for a final swimming break according to sea conditions before taking you safely back to the harbour.
Your transfer vehicle will wait at the harbour to return you to your original pick point. So you are sure to return to your hotel feeling relaxed and refreshed, ready to enjoy the rest of your holiday fully.

The waters at the beaches on the island are incredibly shallow, and non-swimmers can happily paddle to shore and enjoy the beach.
However, if you prefer not to go in the water, you can enjoy a chilled-out boat ride, taking in the most exquisite scenery and, maybe, even do a spot of dolphin watching!
You will find that a day out on the boat to Suluada is a slow and calm excursion.
The waters are generally tranquil, and there is slight rocking on the ship. Most guests don't experience any problems at all.
However, if you are prone to seasickness and have doubts, you should have your medication with you in the unlikely event that you need them.
The boat leaves from the village of Adrasan, which is just under 2 hours away from Antalya. Suluada is located just off the coast of Adrasan, with a sailing time of around 45 minutes.
My husband and I came all the way from the Pacific Northwest specifically for this trip, and Suluada did not disappoint for a single second — the water is genuinely, almost unbelievably turquoise, and we found ourselves just floating there in silence trying to absorb the fact that a place this beautiful actually exists. The crew were warm and attentive without being intrusive, checking in on us throughout the day, making sure we had everything we needed, and their enthusiasm for the island clearly hadn't dimmed despite how many times they must have made this trip. The BBQ lunch served on the north side of the island was a lovely touch — fresh, generous, and eaten with that perfect combination of sea air and total relaxation.
The only thing keeping this from a perfect score across every category was that the shaded lower deck felt a little snug when everyone retreated from the midday sun at the same time, so if you're particular about having a dedicated lounging spot, just stake your claim early in the day.
Thank you so much for making the journey to Suluada and for sharing such a wonderful account of your day — it truly means the world to our crew to hear that their care made a difference. We take your note about shade on board seriously and are always looking at ways to improve comfort for our guests. We hope to welcome you both back someday! — Book From Locals
The crew were absolutely wonderful with our little ones, patient and attentive throughout the whole day.
The upper deck gets pretty hot with limited shade, so bring extra sunscreen if you're traveling with kids.
Una escapada perfecta en pareja: el agua de Suluada es tan transparente y de un turquesa tan intenso que parecía irreal, y el barco estaba comodísimo.
¡Muchas gracias por compartir vuestra experiencia! Nos alegra mucho que disfrutarais de Suluada juntos y que os sintierais a gusto a bordo. ¡Esperamos volveros a ver pronto! – Book From Locals
