Blue Paradise: Alanya Boat Trip Experience w/Lunch and Hotel transfer

We booked this for our family, and it was the highlight of our trip! The kids loved the caves especially Pirates’ Cave with all the fun stories. The swimming stops at Ulaş and Cleopatra Beach were perfect, and we even spotted a turtle! The guide was great at keeping everyone engaged, mixing history with fun facts. Lunch was tasty, and the foam party at the end had us all laughing. Highly recommend for families looking for a mix of adventure and relaxation.

Really fun day out with my friends! The caves were cool (Phosphorus Cave was my favorite), and the views of Alanya Castle from the water were stunning. The only downside was that the boat got pretty packed, so finding a good sunbathing spot was tricky. The foam party was a blast, though, and the crew kept the energy high. Would’ve given 5 stars if it were a smaller group, but still worth it!

Helpful? Yes

My partner and I loved this tour! Sailing past the castle and hearing the legends of Lovers’ Cave made it feel extra special. The swim stops were refreshing, and we enjoyed the laid back vibe. Lunch was decent, and the unlimited drinks kept us hydrated. The foam party wasn’t really our scene, but we just relaxed on deck instead. Perfect mix of romance and adventure definitely a must do for couples.

Helpful? Yes

Solid boat trip with nice sights, but a few hiccups. The caves were interesting, but the time at each stop felt rushed. The lunch was okay. The foam party was fun, but the bar ran out of some drink options early. Still, the views of the coastline were fantastic, and the crew was friendly. Good, but not amazing.

Helpful? Yes

As a solo traveler, I wasn’t sure if this would be fun, but I ended up meeting great people! The caves were fascinating, especially the glowing Phosphorus Cave. Swimming in the clear water was refreshing, and the crew made sure everyone felt included. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is that the historical explanations were a bit brief I would’ve loved more details. Otherwise, a fantastic way to spend a day in Alanya!

Helpful? Yes

There are plenty of activities to choose from, but the music is played at an incredibly loud volume, which can be a bit much.

Helpful? Yes

If you're not able to walk well and can't visit places like the castle, harbor, or beaches, I would suggest the day tour. Otherwise, there’s really nothing to complain about.

Helpful? Yes

It was great being on a spacious, large boat. The description mentioned it was a 6-hour trip, but in reality, it was closer to 4 to 5 hours on the boat. The swimming stops were nice, though they were only about 20 minutes each, and we didn’t get to venture as far as we had hoped. The description had mentioned the possibility of seeing dolphins or turtles, but that didn’t happen. Nonetheless, it was still a very relaxing experience.

Helpful? Yes

The experience was decent overall. The transfer driver was 30 minutes late, and we weren’t informed about the delay. However, he was friendly once he arrived. The boat trip itself was enjoyable, and there was always enough time to swim during the stops. The food was fine—not exceptional, but it tasted good. The entire trip lasted around 4.5 hours.

Helpful? Yes

The transport to the location was well organized. However, once we boarded the boat, there were people trying to sell various items such as ice cream and drinks. When they say "unlimited drinks," they only offer Coke, Fanta, Sprite, and water—nothing else. The snacks and sandwiches are overpriced, with a hamburger costing nearly 10 euros, and it was inedible. Additionally, all drinks are priced above 3 euros. If you decide to have photos taken, be prepared to pay 25 euros for just four basic pictures.

Helpful? Yes

The activity itself was excellent and offered good value for money. The only downside for us was the photographer, who was quite pushy and insisted on selling us photos. However, the rest of the team was wonderful and friendly.

Helpful? Yes

We had a great time! The beginning was a bit bumpy because the driver was late, which is understandable, but there was a lack of communication. Nevertheless, we eventually made it to the boat. The food was tasty, there was plenty of time for swimming, and the foam party was enjoyable. For the price, it was fantastic! I would definitely recommend it.

Helpful? Yes

Unfortunately, the trip started an hour later than planned. There were only two swimming stops, and the foam party was only for kids.

The only issue was the delayed departure. They had promised a 9:30 am departure, but we were nearly the first to arrive, and it took everyone else an hour to get there. As a result, we left around 10:30 and returned around 3:00 pm. The guide was very friendly, but due to either a poor microphone or bad speakers, I couldn’t fully understand everything the guide said, whether in Russian or English. However, this wasn’t a major concern because we were mainly there for the sea views, and there were no issues with that. For lunch, we had some kind of porridge, salad, and a piece of chicken. Occasionally, they take your picture, and at the end of the trip, you have the option to buy a photo with a frame for 10€. Given the price of the tour, I would recommend it.

Helpful? Yes

It was a nice and enjoyable boat trip. However, it would have been great to have more information about the various sights along the way. The public address system wasn’t very good, and it was hard to hear what was being said.

Helpful? Yes

The staff were attentive and made sure to keep an eye on those who were feeling unwell due to seasickness. They were very caring and made sure everyone was looked after.

Helpful? Yes

The tour was really enjoyable. However, I personally found the staff to be somewhat unfriendly.

Helpful? Yes

The value for money is spot on!

Helpful? Yes

The experience was good. The meal included bread, chicken (which was relatively small), salad, and rice. As for drinks, there was Cola, Fanta, Sprite, and water available (all quite inexpensive). However, for "original Cola," you would need to visit a separate bar where you could also purchase alcohol, snacks, and other drinks. There was a small entertainment segment with games and dancing, along with a foam party. The swimming stops were always 20 minutes long.

Helpful? Yes

This is a great activity to enjoy with friends and family. The weather was fantastic, and the entertainment on the boat was enjoyable. The tour guide communicated well, and the pickup was dependable, arriving at the hotel at the scheduled time.

Helpful? Yes

The trip is well worth the price, and I would even consider paying extra for it. The only issue we faced was with the transfer, as there wasn't enough space on the bus. The guide was multilingual, and the crew was very friendly and engaging. The food was tasty, although the portion size was a bit on the smaller side. All in all, I would recommend it!

Helpful? Yes

It was a lovely trip that I would highly recommend. However, the organizer did not provide us with the pick-up time as initially stated. I had to inquire at all the places I found to get the correct information, and they apologized for the confusion. The next day, everything went smoothly. There were times when the music on the boat was very pleasant, but there were also moments when it became quite loud and, for me, a bit annoying. However, it was possible to escape the noise by changing the deck. The foam party started without any prior notice, and our seats got completely covered in foam, though nothing was damaged. Contrary to what was originally mentioned, the announcements were also made in German, which was a nice touch. We had plenty of space on the boat and would definitely recommend the trip.

Helpful? Yes

The crew is fantastic and always attentive to the passengers. They took plenty of amazing photos during the trip, and the view is something you definitely don’t want to miss if you’re in the Alanya region. We enjoyed every single moment of the tour. It’s highly recommended to anyone. The price is very reasonable, and the experience is certainly worth more than what you pay.

Helpful? Yes

It was a good boat trip. However, the man with the microphone talked a bit too much.

Helpful? Yes

The scenery was stunning, and we had the chance to swim in lovely bays. The organization was very efficient. The boat is a bit smaller compared to the pirate ships, so if you're looking for a more intimate experience, this is definitely worth it. I highly recommend it.

Helpful? Yes

There wasn't much happening, and we nearly had the boat to ourselves. The tour included four swimming stops, the food was good, and overall, I was very satisfied.
