Suluada Boat Tour with Hotel Transfer: Exactly Where We Collect You

The departure from Side runs every day, with hotel pickup in the 05:30–06:00 window in air-conditioned vehicles. It is early, and we will not dress that up — read how early is the pickup before you decide. It is also the reason you reach the island while the water still has that morning glass to it. On the way there is an optional breakfast stop at Adrasan, payable at the local restaurant.

The departure from Antalya collects between 08:30 and 09:00 and sails Tuesday and Thursday all year, plus Saturday from April to October — check the weekday before you plan around it. Both roads end at the same place. The boat leaves Adrasan harbour at 09:40 and docks back at 16:00.

Two bands are covered without qualification. Along the Side–Manavgat coast — Side, Kumköy, Evrenseki, Çolaklı, Gündoğdu, Titreyengöl, Sorgun, Manavgat, Kızılağaç and Kızılot — the round-trip hotel transfer is part of the €40 price, in the 05:30–06:00 window.

The second band is central Antalya and Lara, together with Kemer and Beldibi, served by the 08:30–09:00 window. If your hotel sits in either band there is nothing to negotiate: we collect you, we bring you back, and your fare is the same as everyone else's on the boat. Every town we write about has its own page on the locations index.

Some places we can often reach, but not as a blanket promise — so we do not make one. That applies to the Belek band, the Alanya band from Okurcalar down to Gazipaşa, and to Kundu, Konyaaltı, Göynük, Kiriş, Çamyuva and Tekirova. For these the honest answer is the same every time: we confirm your pickup individually.

It takes one message. Tell us your hotel and your dates, and we will tell you whether we can collect you and from where — before you book anything. Contact us or send a WhatsApp message, and you will get a yes, a no, or a meeting point. What we will not do is take the booking first and work it out afterwards. Nothing about your price changes either way; the fare is flat and the transfer is never billed as a separate line.

From Adrasan, Olympos, Çıralı, Finike, Demre and Kaş there is no transfer product. Guests staying there make their own way to Adrasan harbour and join the boat for the 09:40 departure. That is not a gap we are hiding — you are already on the right coast, and the long road leg the rest of the boat spends its morning on simply does not apply to you. Message us and we will help with the meeting details.

Wherever we collect you, the fare does not move: €40 per adult, €30 per child aged 4–10, infants 0–3 free. No distance supplement, no fuel surcharge, no zone pricing. The full breakdown is on the prices page, and how to book covers what happens after you reserve. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before departure, and if the harbour authority stops sailings in rough sea you are rebooked or refunded.
