Suluada Maldives tour from Antalya sails to Turkey’s most turquoise island — an uninhabited limestone outcrop off the Adrasan coast with water colour that rivals the Maldives — €35 per person, with hotel pickup included from Antalya, Belek, Side, Kemer, and Alanya. The tour visits the Love Cave (Aşk Mağarası), a sea cave you enter by boat as the hull passes through the narrow rock arch, and includes open-water snorkelling above the white sand shelf, a freshly prepared lunch with a vegetarian option, and the chance to spot Caretta Caretta loggerhead turtles nesting on the island’s beach. Two departure options are available: the Day Tour runs 07:30–18:00, and the Sunset Tour runs 13:00–22:00 in summer, letting you watch the sun drop behind the Taurus Mountains from the water. TURSAB-licensed guide, travel insurance, and snorkelling equipment are included. No deposit required to book.

07:30–09:00 — Hotel Pickup
Your driver collects you from your hotel in Antalya, Belek, Side, Kemer, or Alanya. Pickup time depends on your hotel location and will be confirmed after booking. Sunset Tour guests depart at 13:00 instead. The drive to Adrasan takes approximately 90 minutes from central Antalya, passing through pine-covered hills above the Gulf of Antalya.
09:00–09:30 — Arrive Adrasan, Board the Boat
You arrive at Adrasan marina, a small fishing harbour backed by the Taurus Mountains at the southern end of the Antalya coast. Your guide introduces the route and safety procedures. The boat departs for Suluada — approximately 30 minutes offshore.
09:30–10:00 — Sail to Suluada
The boat crosses open water to Suluada island. As you approach, the sea colour shifts from deep blue to the shallow turquoise that gives the island its Maldives comparison. Suluada is uninhabited and protected — only small wooden boats are permitted to moor here, keeping the water and beach clear of crowds.
10:00–10:30 — Love Cave (Aşk Mağarası)
The captain navigates the bow through the entrance of Love Cave, a sea cave carved into the island's limestone cliffs. Inside, the walls glow amber and the water turns a luminous blue-green. Your guide explains the cave's name and its reputation as one of the most photographed spots on the Antalya coastline.
10:30–12:30 — Snorkelling & Free Swimming
The boat anchors above the white sand shelf in the lagoon — visibility is typically 10–15 metres. Snorkelling equipment is provided. The island's beach is a registered Caretta Caretta loggerhead turtle nesting site; your guide will point out the nesting zone on the sand. Swimming is open on the seaward side of the boat.
12:30–13:30 — Lunch on Board
A freshly prepared lunch is served on deck, including a vegetarian option. The boat remains anchored in the bay while you eat. Drinks can be purchased from the crew.
13:30–15:30 — Afternoon Swimming & Exploration
A second swim stop in the lagoon. Sunset Tour guests join the boat at Adrasan around this time and experience the afternoon and evening programme. The island light in the afternoon makes the water appear its most vivid — ideal for photographs and underwater photography with snorkelling gear.
15:30–16:00 — Return Sail to Adrasan
The boat departs Suluada and sails back to Adrasan marina. Sunset Tour guests remain on the water — the boat holds position offshore to watch the sun descend behind the Taurus Mountains ridge, typically around 20:00 in high summer.
16:00–18:00 — Return to Hotels (Day Tour)
Transfer back to your hotel. Day Tour guests are typically back by 17:30–18:30 depending on hotel location. Sunset Tour guests return to hotels by approximately 22:00–23:00.
