If you want to dedicate a day of your Antalya vacation entirely to the sea, sun, and hidden bays, it’s time to head to Adrasan, away from classic tour routes. Especially for those who are tired of crowded beach clubs, loud music, and tarmacked beaches, the Adrasan Boat Tour | Transfer and Lunch Included from Antalya & Kemer offers a “calm yet fulfilling” day.
In this article, I will focus solely on this boat tour, detailing how the day goes, the bays visited, who it's suitable for, and how to get the most out of the tour. The transfer service is a great convenience, especially for those staying in central Antalya or Kemer and without a car.
Adrasan is a small seaside town with a long, natural 2-kilometer beach that can be thought of as the calmer sibling of the Çıralı–Olympos line. Although the region is near popular spots like Suluada, the majority of Adrasan's bays remain more peaceful, more local, and less crowded.
The most important feature that distinguishes the Adrasan boat tour from others is its offering of tranquility over entertainment, the sound of waves instead of loud music, and a more intimate atmosphere compared to busy groups. In other words: If you want to relax with the colors of the sea, swim a lot, explore with a snorkel, and gently sway on the boat, you're in the right place.
A major advantage of the tour is the comfortable transfer service from the Antalya and Kemer region. This means you don’t have to worry about “How will I get there in the morning, will I be stranded on the return?”—you are picked up from your hotel or designated meeting point and dropped off at the same location in the evening.
You depart in the morning from Antalya or Kemer. After approximately 1.5–2 hours journey with views of the Taurus Mountains and the Mediterranean, you arrive at Adrasan beach. The boat typically departs from the harbor around 10:00–10:30; the return occurs in the evening close to sunset.
While each boat may have its own small variations in the route, the classic Adrasan bay tour usually visits the following types of stops (the order and names may change, but the experience is similar):
Shortly after leaving Adrasan, the boat anchors at the first cove, which is clear and relatively calm. This first stop is perfect for shaking off the morning drowsiness. The sea is usually glass-like calm in the early hours, making it hard for even those who aren’t fond of swimming to resist jumping in.
The route includes points where you can see small caves and rugged rocky areas. Jumping off the boat and swimming toward the rocky bottoms, observing fish and natural formations through your mask is a great pleasure. If you enjoy snorkeling, make sure to bring it along; it will elevate the tour to a whole new level.
The Adrasan Boat Tour package includes lunch. Although the menu may vary by boat, it generally offers a light but filling meal of grilled fish or chicken, pasta/rice, and salad. The meal break is also held in a cove, so right after your meal, you have the option to jump back into the sea.
In the remaining part of the day, the boat visits several different coves where the turquoise tones are most beautiful. Some coves can only be accessed by sea, resulting in almost no development here. Typically, 30–45 minute swimming breaks are provided in these coves, giving you plenty of time for photos, sunbathing, and relaxation.
As the day’s fatigue sets in, the moments spent lying on the upper deck of the boat while music fades and the sound of the waves increases are invaluable. As the evening light paints the rugged cliffs and coastline in golden hues behind you, you understand why Adrasan still has its loyal visitors.
This tour can be summarized as: “Quiet, peaceful, scenic, full of swimming, very fun yet noise-free.” Therefore:
this is a very suitable option.
To get the most enjoyment from the Adrasan boat tour, here are some small but important suggestions:
1. Sunscreen and a hat are a must. Although there are shaded areas on the boat, especially on the upper deck, the sun can be quite intense. Don’t forget to reapply sunscreen frequently.
2. Water shoes and a snorkel. Some coves may have rocky sea bottoms. Water shoes provide both comfort and safety. Observing the underwater scenery with a snorkel and mask is one of the most enjoyable parts of the tour.
3. Spare clothes and a light towel. You will be wet throughout the day; having dry clothes and a light blanket/towel to avoid getting cold on the way back in the wind can be helpful.
4. Waterproof case for your phone. You can use it with peace of mind while taking photos on the boat's edges, stairs, or over the sea.
